Bare Ye One Another's Burdens

[rag4aCrown]

Remember: this Word that God has freely ministered unto me; I freely give to you.
Be not offended by the Word of God; for it is life to those that believe and receive His Word.
Sometimes what the Spirit gives to me is hard; but if we will receive it with gladness in our hearts, it will save us from destroying ourselves. Amen.

(Luke 5:18) Men brought a man, that was taken with a palsy: and these men sought how they may get the man (their friend) before Jesus.
(Luke 5:19) For the multitude was great. So these men went on the roof and let Him down through the tiling.

These men worked hard to bring their friend and sat him before the Lord.
They made their way through many obstacles; determined, fervently and diligently seeking the way, having faith in Him their friend would be healed. Amen.
They went through the shingles, boards, rafters, ceiling joist, interior ceiling boards, and sat their friend before the Lord.
(No greater love hath a man, than he who will lay down his life for a friend). Amen

(Luke 5:20) Jesus seeing their faith; they endured great obstacles to deliver their friend, who could not accomplish the mission alone, right in front of the Lord.
These men believed on the Son of God; they believed He had, indeed, come out from God, and was sent by God into the world. Amen

These men bare the burdens of their friend.
These men were exercising faith by their actions.
These men were walking in the perfect love of God.
They overcame every obstacle in their path for their friend, who was not able.
These men could have quit when they saw the great difficulties within the obstacles between them and the Lord. But, they did not. They had faith. Amen.
These men thought nothing about "self gain" or "what if".
These men believed and had faith in Him; Him being in One Accord and blessed of God; that the Spirit of the Lord was upon Him.

Do you believe in Him?
Have you faith in the Son?
God has given us the same power to become the sons and daughters of God.
We want God more than anything in this world.
Those who have picked up their cross, forsaking all, and follow Him; are His only true disciples.
God knows who He has chosen. We all have not the same calling, but all worship the same God. Amen.
We are being led in Spirit and in Truth. Our journey consist only of God; not our homes, families, cars, land, jobs, treasures and riches of this world.
We cast our care upon the Lord; who is able to care for all. We do not care for our lives in this world.
For this world is full of broken promises, vanity and vexation of spirit.
We care for the unbreakable promises of God, which is eternal life. Our treasures and mansion is not in this world, but the one that is to come.
My treasures moth can not corrupt and thief can not break through and steal.

Are we baring one another's burdens?
A true follower of God will bare the burdens of others; those we know and a complete stranger.
One who follows Him; sees a person in bondage and distress, and does not walk on by.
We reach out our hand in love, to those who are in a lost and bound soul.
We see them cry and we cry with them; allowing God to open the door of deliverance for them, while we speak forth the Word of God to them.
The goodness of God brings a soul to repentance.
When one has a repentant heart, they are crying out with a broken and contrite spirit.
Are we being the soldier God has called us to be?
Are we being consumed with self's own burdens; and have not cast our cares upon the Lord?
If we are being burdened with self's obstacles, how can we unburden those around us?
When self is consumed with self burdens; we do not bare others burdens, for our own burdens is baring on us.

Lord have mercy.
I recognize repentance is in order. Do you?
Praise you Lord God for deliverance from my own self burdens. I praise you Lord. You are the only ONE worthy to be praised and honored and glorified. Amen
That is why He is the potter and we are the clay. Praise God.

Most try to run, while bypassing walking and crawling.
Just because one may seem to run faster, getting there first, doesn't mean they will enter in.
Think about Peter and the other disciple, that did outrun Peter, to the Lord's empty tomb.
The other disciple, did out run Peter, upon arriving, he merely looked in; Peter coming, passed him by and entered in.

Are we baring one another's burdens?
When Peter came out he took the other disciple with him. He did not leave him behind. Amen.
Just as Peter followed with Jesus; that other disciple followed with Peter. Amen. We are one, being knit together in ONE. Amen. It is time for Pentecost to return. Amen.
A true disciple sees those in need; reaches out their hand in love, bares their burdens with them, and teaches them in Spirit and in Truth.
A true disciple knows how to enter in; for the Lord thy God had taught him in Spirit and in Truth and has shown him the way, the truth, and the life; He has ordained us to teach others how to enter in.
We must enter in Him; if we want Him to enter in us. Amen. He will not force Himself upon anyone. Amen. It is our choice.

Unity, being in one accord, is lacking.
We have no one accord today, seeing the blessings and miracles of God manifesting Himself to us, because the teachers are not being taught of the only true Teacher, the Holy Ghost, and walking in one accord with the Lord in Spirit and in Truth.
One body (being) walking in one accord with God; God creates a whole body (of beings) walking in one accord with Him. Amen.
We, being, of one mind, one body and one Spirit. Amen.

Bare ye one another's burdens. Amen.
I pray the Spirit of God and His glory rest upon you. In Jesus name. Amen.
All praise, honor, and glory be to God. Amen.

 

[Christ4Ever]

Praise you Lord God for deliverance from my own self burdens.

Awesome posting sister.

I quote the above, for far too often the burdens we carry are self-inflected.

Lust: Run don't walk. Could we have turned away from it before it got a hold of us?
Thief: Keep your hands in your pocket. Could we have maybe asked instead of taking?
Idolatry: Love God first always. Could we have kept God first and ever present, foremost in our lives?
Adultery: Treasure what you have. Could we appreciate the blessings that God has given us in that person?

The list goes on, and on. Yet they are not placed there by God, but as with so many things, we our ownselves place them there, needlessly and with unpleasant results. If only we were to keep our eyes on the goal. Always moving forward, not looking behind, always, with Him in our sight.

Thanks for sharing dear sister.

Glory be to God forever and ever; Amen.

My burden was much different than those listed.
I felt as thou I had laid down my cross to care for my doubtful, very negative sick mother. She has had 2 battles with cancer and is now fearing death.
I came out of the wilderness to be at her beck and call; in which, she still tries to beat me down. Misery loves company.
Her misery and doubt and negativity started effecting me. Amen.
I was being robbed of my joy, pray, praise, Word, all the good that God had blessed me with (I value as my treasures) was seemly gone.
I continued to CRY OUT Abba Father; and the devil trying to convince me "God doesn't hear you anymore." He is a liar.
Praise God for deliverance; He has picked me up and given me my freedom in Him again. Amen.
I have a mind set that I will not allow that devil spirit of hers to cut me in two again. I will leave. Amen.
I put myself here; not God. I yielded to her, even when God told me, "The devil will be knocking on your door tomorrow." God is no liar.
Praise God; He has used this opportunity to test my faith, patience, longsuffering, temperance.............
I have no confidence in my flesh; my confidence is in God; He is the all knowing, all seeing, all hearing God.
He is forever with me, and will not forsake me. My heart is on Him; not the situation. I was being consumed by the situation; Praise God, now I am not.
When I am in my darkest hour; God reaches in and picks me up. Amen. His arm is not shortened. Amen.
All praise, honor, and glory be to God. Amen.

This is a quote from a devotional that I had posted, which stayed in my mind and I did not know why until reading your post. Let me quote it and you will understand.

"A converted wife who despaired of her husband was always very kind to him, for she said, "I fear that this is the only world in which he will be happy, and therefore I have made up my mind to make him as happy as I can in it.""

We must not respond in kind and you know this dear sister. That is most difficult, for the flesh is weak, but we must allow the spirit that is within us, the Holy Spirit, to shine outward to win the day, with the same love that our Lord has showed us and even those who hated Him so much, they crucified Him. (Tears)

That the originator of this is Satan we knowthis, and through the vehicle in the person your mother is twice the burden to you and for that my prayers are doubled for your relief, fortified assurance, eternal peace in His embrace, Gods' tender mercies, and Gods grace to be showered upon you in this time of trial. May the words needed for your mother to heed the call of Lord, upon the bed of death she believes she now rest upon, (And without our Lord it surely is for her.), appear to your lips, and fall upon this stone heart to become flesh, with tender mercy, of undying love, and immeasurable sacrifice that she does not yet know, but one you do! In Christ Jesus I pray this for you. In the name of our Holy Mediator that is He, to the Loving Father who denies us nothing, within His will, and to His Greater Glory, I pray this in the name of Christ Jesus. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia! Amen, Amen, Amen!

Micah 7:7 Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

Psalm 6:9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

So I pray also for you.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6:13-18

Greetings in the Lord Jesus Christ; thank you my brother, for such a heart felt prayer and comfort I did feel.
Whether, I continue here or not; this I do not know; God knows.
I try to bare with her, but her load is one that refuses Jesus, and states, "there is nothing wrong with me."
While she is biting, ripping and tearing; and scoffing the Lord, in which, I serve.
What communion hath light with darkness?
Or what have Jesus to Belial?
Daughter shall be divided against mother, and mother against daughter.
Your greatest enemies will be of your own household.
The Word of Truth is forever speaking to me; appearing to tell me to go, for I never should have came.
She had no use for me, until her throat cancer appeared. I should have never let her through the door.
If they do not come in the name of Jesus, speaking the Word of Truth, we are not to allow them to enter into our house. Amen.
The Holy Spirit told me " the devil will be knocking on your door tomorrow", I was expecting another.
I yielded to the devil, brother, he came in the form of my mother,
he has always lived in her; for her heart is very hard, cold and bitter.
I hear the word of God say, "I will harden the heart of whom I will. Amen."
I believe and trust in God. This has been His will.
I was content with me and Him; and I yielded to the devil.
God is perfecting some things in me that I did not know was lacking until they were tried;
now, let patience have her perfect work; for if patience is supplied, temperance of good measure follows. Amen.
I see the works of the Lord within me; He is perfecting this vessel meet to be used of the Lord.
Some day soon, I believe what He has shown me, the world will come to know me.
My life is not my own; it belongs to God. Amen.
All praise, honor, and glory be to God. Amen.

To my sister from your brother in Christ Jesus.

If you could go over what has transpired, you would. This I know. Failure to heed what the Holy Spirit would guide us to do is costly in many ways with many regrets. Leaving those thoughts behind is what we must do! For there is no going back, only forward. Learning, growing, in Christ Jesus, through the Holy Spirit within us. In most this does not happen overnight, or from one day to the next. We yet do not see clearly but only in part. We continue to make every effort towards the goal before us dear sister.

Your mothers fear is great. Fear of death, hate of what tomorrow may bring; a body which she has no control over. These are chains she carries with her, that weight her down. Add the bindings of sin that makes rejection of all that is righteous necessary to her, even if she doesn't understand why this is so. You can easily see why what you believe, who you love even more than life itself, is anathema to her. These tools of Satan have buried themselves deeply within her, that were you to battle against this bad seed alone, you would fail. Yet you do not have to. Even in opening the door to this tribulation, He, our Lord will never forsake you! You are His child. What Father abandons their child? Only man does that. Our God is not man that he would lie, but is faithful, even when we are not. Even when at times the darts are so fierce and strike so deeply, it may appear that He has, because of what we have done. Remember you are not without recourse. Do not lose hope, for He is ever with you, and it is not by your strength that you will not only survive, but persevere. (Psalm 68:1-4) It is through His strength, for it is His battle to be fought here not yours, though you might be the vessel by which He will move the enemy out of this camp.

Rejoice, glorify Him all the more, and Satan will flee before His Holy name as praise and worship out loud that the joy that is in you will chase the darkness away. (2 Corinthians 10:4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds ) Come before Him dear sister. You have already admitted wrong in not listening. Now submit your own will, to His. James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Philippians 4:4-7 "4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

Yes sister, as you have said in not so many words, that you are being remade and wonderfully so! For He is the arbiter by which this change happens, and happening in you it is. To His greater glory! Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Stay strong sister and know your prayers are not alone in entreating to our Lord for His intercession. In the name of Christ Jesus I pray. Amen.

Greetings in the Lord Jesus

I praise God for both my brothers, Christ4Ever and Rev. T.S. Perkins. Thank you for being my brothers and speaking forth encouragement in Him.
I have endured this battle with her, my entire life. I am light; she is darkness. I know what spirit I am dealing with. I know I can not work in the darkness, as Jesus said.

I hear the Word speak to my heart; and yet I yield to her, having respector of persons; rather than God and His Word.
I fear Him and what could come upon me if I continue to stay. Amen. Yet, I stay.
I pray God has mercy upon His servant and uses this time to perfect within me, a willing vessel, what is yet lacking. Amen.

Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers.
If they will not receive you, shake the very dust from your feet and use it as a testimony against them.
They will not receive you because they have not received Him who sent you.
Joseph had rather go into the desert to die with God, then spend one day in sin and luxury of royalty. Amen.

I CLAIM VICTORY IN JESUS........I stand in faith; I am doing for God, not my evil master; she beats her maidservant and my Father is watching. He hears all, sees all, knows all; Lord have mercy.
You are in control Lord. And you Word says, "you will harden the heart of whom ye will". Amen.
God has used her spirit my entire life to show me "what not to be"; and I never have. It has never mattered what a person does to me, I will let them do it again. I know they will, and they do; but I say nothing.
I keep my heart and mind on you Lord.

I shall stop for now; or this will end up being a book also. Glory to God.
I thank you both for baring my burden with me; for being supportive and speaking the Word of truth. Amen.
I pray you both will continue to bare with me; pray for me; I know many a day God is indeed carrying me because I can not even crawl. Amen.
Love and blessings in our Lord Jesus; may He indeed shower upon you both. Amen.
All praise, honor, and glory be to God. Amen.
