PROPHETIC SCRIPTURES:
This
is the 47th Book of the Bible. It shows Christ as our all
sufficiency. It has 13 chapters, 257 verses, and 6,092 words.
2
Corinthians 4:17-18 (KJV)
2
Corinthians 10:1-6 (KJV)
3For though we walk in the flesh, we
do not war after the flesh:
6And having in a readiness to revenge
all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
The word for the body today is: “THIS TOO SHALL PASS!”
How many of us hold to our statement of, this
too shall pass?
We faithfully hold to this thought, but it’s
not found in scripture.
Well Sister Preacher! If it’s not in
scripture, where did it really come from?
There is a very real and amazing truth about
our God.
When we open the pages of the Bible we’re not
reading the pages, the pages are really reading us.
How many know God’s Word is alive, and
it relates to us the character of God.
What we hold on to is the reality that the God
we know is going to bring us through the storm, knowing, that “this too shall pass.”
“This
too shall pass” is a great mantra or phrase that teaches us the power of
impermanence (im-pur-muh-nuhns) which
means the fact or quality of being
temporary or short-lived. And when I say short-lived, I’m not speaking of
life because we all know that life is eternal. I’m talking about situations.
I’m saying, the essential idea is that no
matter what you are currently going through in life, it’s ultimately temporary
and will change.
An English poet Edward FitzGerald entitled
“Solomon’s Seal” a request of King Solomon, a sentence that would always be
true in good times or bad; Solomon responds, “This too will pass away.”
Jesus the Christ is the blessed Son of God,
God in the flesh. Here is what was prophesied by David in Psalm 16:10:
·
Vs10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
David was looking forward to the day of
deliverance that was coming to him. He
was giving the steadfast assurance through the deliverance that God will give
through Yehoshua, Jesus the Christ, the Holy One.
Think about the hope David had and what that
means for us.
Our hope as well as David’s hope is in God in Jesus the Christ!
It is the confident affirmation that God
is faithful, that He will complete what He has begun. It is also, therefore,
that confident expectation which waits patiently and ardently for God’s purposes to be filled.
1 Corinthians 1:9: God is faithful, by whom
ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Hebrews 10:23: Let us hold fast (keep) the profession
(confession/acknowledgment) of our faith without wavering (leaning; doubting);
(for he [God] is faithful that promised). (He’s the one who has kept His
plighted faith [promise by pledge], and is worthy of trust)!
Look, God didn’t even allow His Son to see
corruption. So does it matter that God would not let His Holy One see
corruption? Sure, it does!
Look and listen at what’s stated in the book
of Acts13:36-39:
·
36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will
of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
·
37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
·
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through
this man, is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
·
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from
which ye could not be justified by the Law of Moses.
Sin came upon this world and there was nothing
we could do to remove the stain of sin.
God gave a way to cover the sin to Moses, but the
sacrifices were temporary and the stain was still there.
Then the ultimate sacrifice came. Jesus
sacrificed Himself, for our redemption, and to wash us from all sin. He did
that for US so that we could be Holy.
Let’s take a look back at, Psalm 16:10.
Vs 10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
The idea of, this too shall pass, comes from right here.
God will not suffer His Holy one to see
corruption.
Look Paul knew something.
2 Corinthians 5:8: We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent
from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Not even death can hold us! Romans 8:33-39
37) Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that
loved us.
We know that through Christ we have life
eternal. That’s for sure!
Look people, God already know the trials that
we face each day.
There hath no
temptation taken you, but such as man can bear: BUT GOD is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above
that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape,
that ye may be able to endure it.
I heard an awesome
Pastor in God say, “God uses fire to
speak to us.” When God does something it is for Him to reveal Himself to
us. God has seen the pressure of your battles or fiery trials so don’t think
He’s punishing you but only correcting you. And the punishment will cause us to
remember. The whole purpose of the heat is to burn out of us any and everything
that’s not pure or not like Him.
Look people! God chose what you’re to be
subjected to because He was seeing far beyond what we’re going through in
carnality.
After we pass through the times of troubles
and vanities, battling with the carnal mind the mind of man, the physical body
of man, God knew He would eventually deliver us from this. He’s shaking the fig
tree to see who will be left standing. God has ordered His sons to stand up and
take on the personality of Jesus Christ!
It's the going through the rough time that’s
going to make you. Just hold on people you’re in the final stages of battles
and we have surpassed already through severe times. He said He’s going to bring
us into the apocalypse triumphing permanently. This must happen to all Sons of
God. You see the religious system talk about it when they don’t know what the
word is. They think it is nothing but a time of suffering and sorrow and
trouble. That’s all they can relate to
the book of Revelation about the apocalypse not having a clue of what it’s all
about. The apocalypse is the revelation or the revealing of Jesus Christ! It is
an enlightenment of the manifestation or appearing of Jesus the Christ to us
and in us right here and right now! It
is the taking off of the covers of things we haven’t known before, but know now
by the Spirit of Truth, who is the Holy Ghost! This is where we will triumph
permanently, knowing who we are in God and who He is in us NOW! 1 John 4:17: As he
is, so are we, in this world!!
When we understand God’s purpose that we are
the express being of Yehoshua in the earth, then we can take our rightful place
as sons, ruling and reigning in and over the earth! Hallelujah!
Just give Him a hallelujah! Give Him a thank you God! Just give Him
praise! THIS TOO SHALL PASS!
Will
they pass away? Will who pass away?
James 1:2: My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations. Temptations is from the Greek
word pi-ras-mos’, which is a putting to proof (by experiment of good), experience (of evil),
solicitation, discipline or provocation); by implication adversity; to test.
Why would we have Joy in the middle of a
temptation?
James 1:3: Knowing this, that the trying (trustworthiness) of your faith
worketh (fully that which is accomplished) patience (enduring, continuance waiting).
Vs 4: But let patience have her perfect (complete) work, that ye may
be perfect and entire (whole), wanting nothing.
It’s
clear that after you go through something, you’re changed, you’re stronger.
This
is also God’s way of affirming to us, through James, this too shall pass.
What
we’re going through will evidentially come to an end.
The Lord/Jehovah gives
us comfort through this.
Psalms 139:7) Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy
presence?
8) If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9) If I
take the wings of the morning, and dwell
in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10) Even there
shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
David gives us one of the greatest
passages in all literature about the miracle of human conception and birth.
David declares that God is present at conception and birth because we are made
in the image of God and He has a special plan and purpose for each person who
is born.
What
is so significant about all these fiery trials coming, and the going, they’re
not here to stay only to make us.
That’s
our message, God wants you to know it’s not going to last. He’s working
purpose.
All things work together for good to them that love God. Faith
does not believe that all things are good, or that all things work well. It
does believe that all things (good or bad) work together for good to them that
love God.
We
find comfort in the bad going away, do we not? So, let’s not lose sight of the
fact that Our God came through on our behalf. He worked it out for you and for
me!
So, people of God, when it seems like you’re at a crossroad,
when it looks like you’re about to give up, when you’re about ready to throw in
the towel.
Just know there’s no sickness, demon, devil in the pit of hell
that can stand against the sheep, that can stand against the body, that can
stand against the sons of God!
Whatever it is THIS TOO SHALL PASS
This
Too Shall Pass
In
the middle of the turbulence surrounding you
These trying times that are so hard to endure
In the middle of what seems to be your darkest hour
Hold fast your heart and be assured
This
too shall pass
Like every night that's come before it
He'll never give you more than you can bear
This too shall pass
So, in this thought be comforted
It's in His Hands
This too shall pass
The
Father knows the tears you cry before they fall
He feels your pain, His heart and yours are one
The Father knows that sorrow's heavy chains are strong
But with His strength, you'll overcome
This
too shall pass
So
set your eyes upon the mountain
Unto
the hills which cometh your help
And lift your hands up to the heavens
And let His arms of love surround you
And take you to the other side of through!
This
too shall pass
Clap your hands and give God the praise!!!
