Will we continue to walk ever so close to the Lord, realizing as we do, He will prune us? Will we desire to be producers of His fruit and life flow through us? Many of us realize that this means more obstacles, cuts, bleeding, times of dormancy and simple hurt. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguaLLr7GfZRWjbaClBZUvJ6tQ01tWv_twRX2uUdC27IS0uT5Ylx0FfEjZyrAm5rp2E-KARqiFyzb-n-Bh8_5eZX1o1fsOi8Fcb7gUGfBgm5XIWvdCxDn7p5HeS1PspkaUs2X_R63oC89zMRg1YQF3caPQHXFp1J3zYc6qy_6cSO1U7Uv2ir0rPxutAVQ/s1080/My%20project-1%20(22).jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="103" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguaLLr7GfZRWjbaClBZUvJ6tQ01tWv_twRX2uUdC27IS0uT5Ylx0FfEjZyrAm5rp2E-KARqiFyzb-n-Bh8_5eZX1o1fsOi8Fcb7gUGfBgm5XIWvdCxDn7p5HeS1PspkaUs2X_R63oC89zMRg1YQF3caPQHXFp1J3zYc6qy_6cSO1U7Uv2ir0rPxutAVQ/w103-h103/My%20project-1%20(22).jpg" width="103" /></a></span></div><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><br />This is when the milestone comes; will we accept this pruning and be fruitful or just become branches that become brittle, and ragged? </span><p></p><p><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">A lot of questions to ponder, but I feel God wants to use each and everyone of His children in our uniqueness to minister with fruits that touch the lives we are to serve. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">Jesus said; "I am the vine, you are the branches.

We try to do everything within our own power, in our time and ways. Even Christians try to do things apart from the Lord, doing many wonderful things; but it's fruitless! Why? Because a branch cannot bear fruit without the vine. I have seen many empty lives Jesus wants to get this message to. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijaBYoVaCBmfibzaU1Lb4ExzVQiz2TFpHhrjbOMBm3VSC2GN8repMHYnt_W8oNcRZqv5bQLbR_NjNtyVfMCDI4gXd3eH1PxuB0faAuZDZwNAyNoHFRb4VqLZhOmn99ekBy7PrwztRb20V5GfTUQ5Ij_g2aIFJbdvmyQ0L4klNdxcHc1f7tXHrt5Z4UEA/s1080/My%20project-1%20(23).jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="94" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijaBYoVaCBmfibzaU1Lb4ExzVQiz2TFpHhrjbOMBm3VSC2GN8repMHYnt_W8oNcRZqv5bQLbR_NjNtyVfMCDI4gXd3eH1PxuB0faAuZDZwNAyNoHFRb4VqLZhOmn99ekBy7PrwztRb20V5GfTUQ5Ij_g2aIFJbdvmyQ0L4klNdxcHc1f7tXHrt5Z4UEA/w94-h94/My%20project-1%20(23).jpg" width="94" /></a></span></div><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><br />Feeling the pruning myself, I decided to look into the process of pruning a grapevine as Jesus was referring to a vine and branches.</span><p></p><p></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #202124;"><span style="background-color: white;">First of all, the only time to prune is when the vine is dormant. </span></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #202124;"><span style="background-color: white;">That is, "</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124;">normal physical functions are suspended or<u> </u></span><span class="SDZsVb AraNOb" data-term-for-update="slowed" data-ved="2ahUKEwiR6LOU6Kv9AhXkkYkEHdibD_EQyecJegQIFRAV" jsaction="trigger.nw2q7b" role="link" style="background-color: white; color: #202124; cursor: pointer; outline: 0px;" tabindex="0"><u>slowed</u></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124;"><u> </u>down for a period of time, if </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124;">too early, will kill it." This is that time in our lives when we feel suspended, made to stop and feel alone or frustrated. Yet, still abiding in Him.

Reminding us, I have been pruned and shaped before and it all turned out productive. Our little-ole-selves may want to cry over those old cuts, remembering the pain and the wounds it left. It may have been words said, financial troubles, hurts in relationships, sickness, death and so on. Life things that happen to us all, but can be used in the Hands of Jesus as tools to prune us. </span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;">When Christ prunes and cuts off the old branches, it makes us vulnerable by leaving an open wound. Here's the thing about the timing of Jesus; He knows exactly WHEN to prune us. Not too early or too late. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;">A vine cut too early could die, and one too late could be susceptible to fungal spores that can disease the vine and eventually kill it. So, think about this, when we surrender even this part of our lives to God's perfect will and time; even here as He cuts away old parts of 'us' that...</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;">HIS TIMING IS PERFECT! </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">What is incredible is that 90% of the vine is pruned off! </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">90%!!! </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">I remember when I was young, graduated from Bible college; I was a 'spit-fire!' I was passionate, and head strong. I knew all I needed to get done and all God needed done! And I can almost see your face now as you are smiling, cause possibly you know where this is going! </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">Well, I did proceed on in the ministry, working for the Lord; but ouch did I ever get pruned and pruned again. As I recall thinking of those old cuts, I thank God He did that! I was trying to help Him in my own strength and ways and they didn't bear HIS fruit. I would become frustrated when things didn't work like I learned in school. Well, cut - cut came the pruning shears; over and over again. I truly can say, I am a different person than I was way back then! But, better because it's more of Him and less of me. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVQpXY_V7kY0XcK-bT_BHxt0b6X_rdair2DPNh8wEx3ASMMc4YMX4mv53-o9g79i0vpACZaPgWdpf1ru8L4YnQwp9ToYpoFQ9Jvb39-zVtcKXKPVF5kVG-VAAIdK0eyfhkSkp3apNE8z3fKwCirgPH4-brgE1z5VZDVqPVd8Vp_kYDi4sBo-gSziTOCg/s1080/My%20project-1%20(27).jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="165" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVQpXY_V7kY0XcK-bT_BHxt0b6X_rdair2DPNh8wEx3ASMMc4YMX4mv53-o9g79i0vpACZaPgWdpf1ru8L4YnQwp9ToYpoFQ9Jvb39-zVtcKXKPVF5kVG-VAAIdK0eyfhkSkp3apNE8z3fKwCirgPH4-brgE1z5VZDVqPVd8Vp_kYDi4sBo-gSziTOCg/w165-h165/My%20project-1%20(27).jpg" width="165" /></a><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;"></span>I read about the shaping of the branches, they call it: </span></span><span style="color: #202124; font-family: arial;">'VINE BALANCE.' They carefully align the vines, stretching forth from both sides of the head. The head being the main vine. If allowed to grow strait up or down, and off the trellis or trellis wire.

Also, not allowing proper room for growth. </span></p><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #202124;"><span style="background-color: white;">There is a balance in our life growth, being evenly weighted to stand strong throughout the storms that may come or the intense heat of the days.

It is for the church directly and pertains to the world around us. <br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The characters in this chapter are strong on so many different levels. The man of God <b><u>Elijah</u></b> is the center of this whirlwind (pardon the pun...in regards to later on in his life) that storms forward in this chapter. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>Backing up though, in</span><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Kings+17&version=AMP" target="_blank"> <u>1 Kings 17</u></a><span> we see God leading Elijah to a lonely place called the </span><i>Brook Cherith</i><span>.</span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">This was a gorge area, known as one of the wildest places to be, in regards to steep ravines and dangerous mountain climbs plus wild animals. Yet, God led Elijah to abide there. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">We see the Brook as a preparation place for this still semi young prophet of whom God's anointing was strong upon. This place of preparation was also a place of protection, as the army of Israel was looking to kill him. All because Baal worship became dominant and there was no repentance among the people and Israel's leaders. God then sent Elijah to tell them there would be drought in the land, thus King Ahab the King of Israel wanted Elijah dead! </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUJAa-UaNUsgdCkIpcUWG5pU6bbVj9iWqY7aZ0yGl6d3ZcAvySXGTuJ-5bIbv9WwCctv9r9J-acgrTe4_DfmM2XlYPacjBDkGR44Lhkyfy3It2TDJuh62Nds6a-zga15Q0uuAWxMfCL7FQZ9PCnk2ZciHWjQYG2mb48Lwsd4hNGtLvagPaJcq7clGc5A/s400/291926455_926142165453776_8825995567034878574_n.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="193" data-original-width="400" height="114" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUJAa-UaNUsgdCkIpcUWG5pU6bbVj9iWqY7aZ0yGl6d3ZcAvySXGTuJ-5bIbv9WwCctv9r9J-acgrTe4_DfmM2XlYPacjBDkGR44Lhkyfy3It2TDJuh62Nds6a-zga15Q0uuAWxMfCL7FQZ9PCnk2ZciHWjQYG2mb48Lwsd4hNGtLvagPaJcq7clGc5A/w236-h114/291926455_926142165453776_8825995567034878574_n.jpg" width="236" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Elijah was fed by an ugly, unclean bird the raven- daily. This helped Elijah see the Hand of God upon his life. Even when the brook dried and he was led to live with a poor widow a distance away from the brook. The brook and the widows home, only took Elijah's relationship with God to a deeper and more powerful place. He clearly could hear his God's voice and knew God's heart. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Let me ask you, have you had the Brook experience? Are you there now? I recall several times I have been, particularly a certain six years in my life. God was using us in our call, but we knew there was more. My husband and I were experiencing an ache so deep, and a longing to live out our purpose touching lives. What happened was as we were pastoring, the church situation became really hard causing a lot of hurt. Then my husband became seriously ill, causing him to be in a wheelchair and we then lost our income. Later, he was told he was going to die. One time, as my husband was in a hospital in Chicago, this was when I found my self staring out a window in a hallway. We were several stories high, when I looked out, I saw these huge black birds and their nests; they were feeding their young! All right there by the window I was peering out of. They were ravens, and immediately I knew God was speaking to me as I recalled the story of Elijah. It was a time where even I felt God was preparing me for something huge. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"> God supplied everything we needed, and during this time we only grew ever so close to Him. So-much-so, we felt the Lord leading us to become missionaries in Africa. God did heal my husband and we went did go to Africa and still are missionaries today. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Elijah's name means: <i style="background-color: #04ff00; border: 0px rgb(225, 225, 225); box-sizing: border-box; color: #414042; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Yahweh is my God</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #414042;">. I</span><span style="background-color: white;">n his path, th</span><span style="background-color: white;">is is what the objective of Elijah's life would be; that people would know <b>WHO GOD IS </b>in every way. And to turn to Him with all their hearts. Remember this later on in this study.</span></span></p><p><span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;">We read at the beginning of the chapter, God tells Elijah to do something incredibly hard...let's just say it: scary! First God tells Elijah to go basically hide from King Ahab and now He tells Elijah to go to Ahab! </span></span></p><p><span><span style="background-color: white; color: #414042; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span><span style="color: #414042; font-family: georgia;"><b style="background-color: #fcff01;">ENCOURAGING WORD FROM THE LORD</b><span style="background-color: white;">: </span></span></span></p><p><span><span style="color: #414042;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;">STOP NOW...let's ponder on this in regards to our personal lives and then as the church. God shelters us, especially when we obey. Those who obey Him are covered by Him. This of course doesn't mean life will be easy, but we will grow only closer to the God of the universe! </span></span></span></p><p><span><span style="background-color: white; color: #414042; font-family: georgia;">As a person, is God prodding your heart to go? To step out of that place He provided for you then to a place where you feel alone and basically like a 'TARGET?' But, Elijah did just that!</span></span></p><p><span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #414042; font-family: georgia;">God took him to Obadiah an amazing, and even quite intelligent man of God. A man that secretly hid 100 prophets from the King himself. This man was the governor of King Ahab's own house. The King had entrusted much to him. He cared for and still fed (in secret) the prophets of God.</span></span></span></p><p><span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #414042; font-family: georgia;">Elijah challenged Obadiah even more by telling him to go to the King that; "Elijah wants to speak with him." </span></span></span></p><p><span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #414042; font-family: georgia;">Please recall, Ahab was the most ungodly King of Israel and his wife Jezebel blames Elijah for all of Israel's troubles. Ahab and Jezebel served and believed in Baal. She had the prophets of Baal eating at her table daily; meaning they had a strong influence over the government of Israel. One of the reasons why many of God's anointed prophets were slain. Baal was considered a sky god, who should have been in charge of the rain. </span></span></span></p><p><span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #414042; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p><span><span style="color: #414042; font-family: georgia;"><b style="background-color: #fcff01;">PROPHETIC WORD</b><span style="background-color: white;"><b>:</b></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #414042;"><span style="background-color: white;"> DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIER? Christians today are being blamed for troubles right and left. Especially when ungodly-sick agendas are being pushed upon our society (especially our children). The W.O.K.E. agenda frowns when ones even share their Christian convictions on homosexuality, LGBTQ, abortion, and so much more. The government is behind this all the way too! They are blaming Christians for their so called problems, and it will become even harder as the days continue. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #414042;">Israel was unresponsive to Elijah's message of repentance and turning back to God. Too many today are silent as well, afraid of loosing their jobs, ridicule from friends and family and fear of the unknown future. We can't <i>live</i> by fear, and we cannot <i>lead</i> our lives by fear; it will only lead to destruction!</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span><span style="color: #414042; font-family: georgia;"> Obadiah was afraid, we hear this in his discourse with Elijah. I believe that God gave Elijah a soothing voice as he encouraged him to go. I always thought of Elijah as gruff, not only in his appearance but also his personality. Yet, as I read this passage, the Lord really allowed me to see other possibilities of this man's nature. I believe he was tender hearted; that he loved God with all his heart and because of that he loved people. Look at his experience with the widow of Zarephath, especially when her son became ill. I imagine that he became quite close to this family as he lived with them for sometime. He cried out to the Lord for this boy to be healed:</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="text 1Kgs-17-22" style="background-color: white;">The <span class="small-caps" style="font-variant-caps: small-caps; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">Lord</span> heard Elijah’s cry, and the boy’s life returned to him, and he lived.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span class="text 1Kgs-17-23" id="en-NIV-9341" style="background-color: white;"><span class="versenum" style="display: inline; font-weight: 700; line-height: normal; position: relative; top: auto; vertical-align: text-top;"> </span>Elijah picked up the child and carried him down from the room into the house. He gave him to his mother and said, “Look, your son is alive! <u>1 Kings 17: 22-23</u> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">All to say, I believe Obadiah was comforted and still strongly encouraged to obey God's voice to talk with the King. God saw Obadiah and used him for great things, yet still; this was his precipice of where God wanted to use him more!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b style="background-color: #fcff01;">CHALLENGING WORD FOR YOU</b>: </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">In your life walk, in all your 'ups-and-downs' God still has more planned for your life. And it will be to-do greater things, to delve deeper still in Him and even on up to higher climbs. Please, try not to argue with God about it, just listen to His strong, yet comforting voice and simply obey. It will not only touch your personal life, but affect so many more lives. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><u>ELIJAH IS BOSS</u>...👍</span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="text 1Kgs-18-18" face="system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, Arial" id="en-AMP-9360" style="background-color: white;">Elijah said, “I have not brought disaster on Israel, but you and your father’s household <i>have</i>, by abandoning (rejecting) the commandments of the <span class="small-caps" style="font-variant-caps: small-caps; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">Lord</span> and by following the Baals. </span><span class="text 1Kgs-18-19" face="system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, Arial" id="en-AMP-9361" style="background-color: white;"><span class="versenum" style="display: inline; font-weight: 700; line-height: normal; position: relative; top: auto; vertical-align: text-top;"> </span>Now then, send <i>word</i> and gather to me all Israel at Mount Carmel, together with the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of [the goddess] Asherah, who eat at [Queen] Jezebel’s table. <u>v. 18</u></span></span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Can you imagine going up to a president, and telling him that; "He is going to do as 'I say?' - no if's and's, or but's about it too?

When a person hurts us, or the most part it is from those who are close to us in some fashion. They may be a family member, a close friend and even a co-worker. It could be in the confines of church, family, a friend, and at our places of employment. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Vt4ods0YbTWSj5WDlPYXZVtDDQcaB-Su0IpiALB9OkJEspMigYXv9Q_S8hLRAnvd_fsNDCQF_T3DGdEmOEtsHml0J9G3KegV-6Sz5rKu31x-n0_dJyvMorEZVkpJuaxGXRChjFk8PpnD/s600/depositphotos_1629962-stock-photo-heart-pierced-by-an-arrow.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="125" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Vt4ods0YbTWSj5WDlPYXZVtDDQcaB-Su0IpiALB9OkJEspMigYXv9Q_S8hLRAnvd_fsNDCQF_T3DGdEmOEtsHml0J9G3KegV-6Sz5rKu31x-n0_dJyvMorEZVkpJuaxGXRChjFk8PpnD/w166-h125/depositphotos_1629962-stock-photo-heart-pierced-by-an-arrow.jpg" width="166" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;">The levels of hurt can depend on who and the confines we are in. When it's a spouse, parent and a child; it definitely is a deep hurt, simply because truly- family is the dearest & closest relationship for most people. Then there the hurts from our church (Christian) brothers and sisters; (of which I could write a book on) hurt us deep, especially because this passes the realms of the physical bond to a spiritual. In our work environment, when we work side-by-side with others; this affects us in an unusual way which is in the areas of our skillset and hard labor. It can affect our reputation and future in some cases. And lastly, close friends; they are the people we choose to let into our personal inner-chamber of safety; by trusting them in countless ways. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The Psalmist David writes of his experiences of being hurt:</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><u>Psalms 41:9</u> "<span face="system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, Arial" style="background-color: white;">Even my</span><span face="system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, Arial" style="background-color: white;"> </span><span face="system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, Arial" style="background-color: white;">close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heal against me." </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;">Through out his life he has his father-n-law, son and friends betray him. As time goes by he learned through the hurt on how to feel and respond. Seeing clearly through the eyes of the Lord and not his own. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;">We will focus more on the side of the one that has been inflicted. Later in the article learn on how to NOT be the afflicter. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;">We hurt when someone we trusted attacks our character, betrays us (by breaking confidence shared), also when ones we trusted gossip about us behind our back, lastly: when those we once felt so close to bully and disrespect us. Ouch! The pain is intense! </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span face="system-ui, -apple-system, Segoe UI, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Noto Sans, sans-serif, Arial"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;">We all have different personalities, and because of that, how we respond will be different; and that is ok. My husband who is a loving man, reacts differently than I do. My entire being just shuts down, and I have to be alone to filter out my emotions. My husband will be sad, but just move on. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span face="system-ui, -apple-system, Segoe UI, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Noto Sans, sans-serif, Arial"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;">I asked at the beginning of this article, is it a sin when we don't trust people. Sin comes when the hurt we feel isn't healed. This is important to know, it is NOT a sin to not trust people: but it is a sin to not forgive them. Healing does come from forgiveness. Think about it; we were healed when Jesus forgave our sin. There is a setting free, and a lifting of a deep burden when we choose to forgive the one who hurt us. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span face="system-ui, -apple-system, Segoe UI, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Noto Sans, sans-serif, Arial"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="system-ui, -apple-system, Segoe UI, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Noto Sans, sans-serif, Arial"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0QfJfWmKCzIb0iQIWRwZBTrCIUmLv1T0Pkw8uGTFo-TS-Z9bSfzKEqKwoAl7GDaoyHlHqtpEzhy7ExOpbS2BiBtzdiPcVF6HYXnPS0ham9ENalLsrB6AuW40kEL66z61gJcc_5uYAMzUx/s1080/My+Post+%252858%2529.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="89" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0QfJfWmKCzIb0iQIWRwZBTrCIUmLv1T0Pkw8uGTFo-TS-Z9bSfzKEqKwoAl7GDaoyHlHqtpEzhy7ExOpbS2BiBtzdiPcVF6HYXnPS0ham9ENalLsrB6AuW40kEL66z61gJcc_5uYAMzUx/w89-h89/My+Post+%252858%2529.jpg" width="89" /></a></span></span></div><span face="system-ui, -apple-system, Segoe UI, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Noto Sans, sans-serif, Arial"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;">When we do not forgive, our soul is poisoned and we become bitter which can lead to retribution of sort<br /> on our part. We cannot let this happened. Our soul evolves into a person not what God purposed and planned for us to be. We can be bitter, have great anxiety, loose hope and be very lonely as we push people away. God placed us in a world filled with people that need each other. I need people and you do too, when we are hurt this is a divisive way the enemy uses to separate ones so he can destroy their life.

Believe me, I totally understand where you are. I know I have been hurt in every category I listed above several times over. When we love, we make ourselves vulnerable. As I say this, I see Jesus - who humbled Himself (made Himself) by placing His life where He knew those He loved and created would greatly hurt Him.

No...but this runs far deeper doesn't it!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Do you need prayer?

In January 2022, it will be three years that she has suffered day in and out with no break with continuous head pain. At times it increases where she suffers even more. </span></p><p><span color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">So many suffer with a chronic pain; be it physically and even emotionally. I might add, financially too. My main focus here is physical, but this can be applied to all types. Why is it hard for us all to bluntly say, "No, I am not doing good!' Of course, it depends on our personalities and backgrounds. Yet, may I be direct here: 'Just-say-it!' Take that first step, it will land on first; the heart of God, then hearts who will pray and care, then... unfortunately, ones that become like that black dot on white paper. Personally, I can be encouraged by people all around, then that one person can say or do ugly things and it hurts my heart deep. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">But, let's not let this stop us from sharing our pain with others. The word of God clearly teaches that we are created to care for one another. Read the book of Acts for </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">example,</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> how the church was instructed to care for the widows. I will share with you Felecia's post; she never really tells people that she is hurting. If you ask her how she is feeling, she usually says: "I'm ok!" Thus, when she shared this, I believe her pain pushed her to this place. And many responded with prayer, and love. Which in turn gave her great encouragement. </span></span></p><p><span color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Here are her posts: </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVcmEoBf2k-lC6vAODPMkjxSDSFjsbqrKgw03nRKAEjkKUvReHDMPq_tiIAxyCR7cCaPbCWGDUKDm3KHT1GA3igXoE5yqnVU6KGhlA8AztJPBXJ3cw5mUf5V0TbMeETNBZOVLditeSokId/s1792/248425819_198166122431464_6592359222639332103_n.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1792" data-original-width="828" height="433" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVcmEoBf2k-lC6vAODPMkjxSDSFjsbqrKgw03nRKAEjkKUvReHDMPq_tiIAxyCR7cCaPbCWGDUKDm3KHT1GA3igXoE5yqnVU6KGhlA8AztJPBXJ3cw5mUf5V0TbMeETNBZOVLditeSokId/w200-h433/248425819_198166122431464_6592359222639332103_n.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div style="clear: right; display: inline; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv8Jn0l3okqvUd0BXD0-3mDyp_4NEDsKVxIUv32XVfklYIrQ8uhobMKvLOcZZ03vajNYnAUutuTW8XNF8hrFHRPAKJcdHuI17ITucaLw0SBFyvk_6xFKwy-h54YHqCqyQOhENzUUtL3bBR/s1792/249643352_869356367283990_2808218614066325212_n.jpg" style="clear: right; display: inline; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1792" data-original-width="828" height="730" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv8Jn0l3okqvUd0BXD0-3mDyp_4NEDsKVxIUv32XVfklYIrQ8uhobMKvLOcZZ03vajNYnAUutuTW8XNF8hrFHRPAKJcdHuI17ITucaLw0SBFyvk_6xFKwy-h54YHqCqyQOhENzUUtL3bBR/w333-h730/249643352_869356367283990_2808218614066325212_n.jpg" width="333" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs2tztq9J0Ef4pxExl8FmbSsg8YDeoc23O0LFO42YUJD3CRo5nztdJ2xt_bn1R-gWCpybJg7hKfEUFJ2b2_XJdJLY5jDoebz9OInlmnfiwHUhzwgh8HmLRPjbqjsQohUARwWDtvE8X8Mbe/s1792/249036696_938905033644942_5076657348317667107_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1792" data-original-width="828" height="614" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs2tztq9J0Ef4pxExl8FmbSsg8YDeoc23O0LFO42YUJD3CRo5nztdJ2xt_bn1R-gWCpybJg7hKfEUFJ2b2_XJdJLY5jDoebz9OInlmnfiwHUhzwgh8HmLRPjbqjsQohUARwWDtvE8X8Mbe/w284-h614/249036696_938905033644942_5076657348317667107_n.jpg" width="284" /></a> In response, a dear woman of God (a giant in the faith) read Felecia's post and responded.
