Please pray for me. I keep fasting and praying still no break through. I feel like a failure. I lost my job for declining the vaccine. I declined due to my pre existing health conditions (Lupus) and (heart disease) I’ve been struggling to pay bills and keep food on the table since. I’m so ashamed of my situation. I’ve been mocked and laughed at because of my circumstances. It hasn’t been easy especially as a single mother with two autistic sons both are non verbal. My husband passed away years ago. I’m all alone. I’m sick of struggling and feeling like a burden. I’m sick of crying out asking for help. My cries go on deaf ears. I want to give up on life. But my faith in God is too strong. I still have faith God will change my living situation. Even though I’m facing homelessness this month with two young children. I will continue to keep FAITH. FAITH OVER FEAR!
The Lord hears your prayers. You may not see the light in this dark place you are in right now, but remember we live by faith not by sight. I can't even imagine how it must feel right now. Take Job (the person in the bible) for example. He suffered and lost everything, yet at the end, He was blessed with more than He had in the beginning. Hold on in Faith and don't let go. Praise God in your lowest moment and He will see your Love. Ill pray for you!!
Do not push yourself dear sister God see your struggle. Try to fast how much you can. If it 2 times per week nice, if it is only once per week that is also nice. Consider fasting as going to gym. You cannot do 500 push-ups on first day correct? That is why you should have spiritual exercise. This year you will have some results, next year you will be better, for 5 years you would have incredible results. But don't push yourself dear sister, take a small steps, and fasting will become so natural and easy after some time.
if jesus is god, then why didn't he explicitly say i am god this common question is actually a great question, and the answer is very humbling and very eye-opening, to say the least and though we have many explicit statements about his divinity in other books of the bible we do not have from the four gospel accounts a surface level statement from jesus saying, for example i am the Lord. Your god worshiped me so why is this it is because jesus secretly spoke in parables and allegories to conceal the truth of himself from those wicked and prideful people who resist him that he may not cast pearls before swine that he may protect and guard his wisdom preserving it only for his faithful children whom he loves as god himself said through the prophet isaiah concerning the messiah "truly, you are a god who hides himself the god of israel, the savior"(isaiah 45:15) jesus owned disciples asked him why he spoke in parables of which he said to them "because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven but to them, it is not given therefore i speak to them in parables"(Matthew 13:11,13)"so that seeing they do not see and hearing they neither hear nor understand and in them, the prophecy of isaiah is fulfilled"(Matthew 13:13,14) jesus did tell us that he was god, but in a mysterious manner a manner from which only the man whose eye was opened, and would see and perceive the same of which would blind all those whose eyes were carnal when he said things such as "how often i wanted to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings"(Matthew 23:37) and "i am the true vine, and my father is the vinedresser:(john 15:1) and "you have loved them as you have loved me"(john 17:23) speaking of this truth, Saint john chrysostom said "these people truly became unbelievers of themselves but having become so they no longer saw the secret things of the gospel god then, forth excluded its beams from them as he said to the disciples therefore i speak to them in allegories so that hearing they do not hear but what i say may become clear by an example suppose a greek considers our religion to be false, how will this man be more advantaged by going in and seeing the mysteries or by remaining without therefore, he says that the light should not shine upon them"(Saint john chrysostom) even if our bible did quote jesus with him saying explicitly that he is god they wouldn't believe anyway but would all the more hate god it would turn against us and tear us in pieces as it is written "because they are the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction"(romans 9:22) "whose bitter hearts cherish a longing for mischief, and if they could they would bring him down from his throne to a second crucifixion"(saint hilary of Poitiers) so then, if jesus always spoke in a cryptic manner, how will they ever come to the truth, how will they ever know that he is god the answer is quite simple "they have moses,the prophets let them hear them"(Luke 16:29)
The lesson is this: fear God and seek Him with all of your heart. ✥

What is a breakthrough?? Keep having discipline to pray and seek God until you enter into your final rest and you shall see God.
I truly hope you are well.

Hey brother, I hope all is well. If not, give us an update. I'm sorry I missed your comment after all these years.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. +++
The perfect verse for this lesson. ✥
What is the name of the music in the background?
if jesus is god, then why didn't he
explicitly say i am god
this common question is actually a great
question, and the answer is very humbling
and very eye-opening, to say the least
and though we have many explicit
statements about his divinity in other
books of the bible we do not have from
the four gospel accounts a surface level
statement from jesus saying, for example
i am the Lord. Your god worshiped me
so why is this
it is because jesus secretly spoke in
parables and allegories to conceal the
truth of himself from those wicked and
prideful people who resist him that he
may not cast pearls before swine that he
may protect and guard his wisdom
preserving it only for his faithful
children whom he loves
as god himself said through the prophet
isaiah concerning the messiah
"truly, you are a god who hides himself
the god of israel, the savior"(isaiah 45:15)
jesus owned disciples asked him why he
spoke in parables of which he said to
them
"because it is given to you to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven but
to them, it is not given
therefore i speak to them in parables"(Matthew 13:11,13)"so
that seeing they do not see and hearing
they neither hear nor understand
and in them, the prophecy of isaiah is
fulfilled"(Matthew 13:13,14)
jesus did tell us that he was god, but in
a mysterious manner
a manner from which only the man whose
eye was opened, and would see and perceive
the same of which would blind all those
whose eyes were carnal when he said
things such as
"how often i wanted to gather your
children together as a hen gathers her
chicks under her wings"(Matthew 23:37)
and "i am the true vine, and my father is
the vinedresser:(john 15:1)
and "you have loved them as you have
loved me"(john 17:23)
speaking of this truth, Saint john
chrysostom said
"these people truly became unbelievers of
themselves but having become so they no
longer saw the secret things of the
gospel
god then, forth excluded its beams from
them
as he said to the disciples
therefore i speak to them in allegories
so that hearing they do not hear but
what i say may become clear by an
example
suppose a greek considers our religion
to be false, how will this man be more
advantaged
by going in and seeing the mysteries or
by remaining without
therefore, he says that the light should
not shine upon them"(Saint john chrysostom)
even if our bible did quote jesus with
him saying explicitly that he is god
they wouldn't believe anyway but would
all the more hate god it would turn
against us and tear us in pieces as
it is written "because they are the
vessels of wrath prepared for
destruction"(romans 9:22) "whose bitter hearts cherish
a longing for mischief, and if they could
they would bring him down from his
throne to a second crucifixion"(saint hilary of Poitiers)
so then, if jesus always spoke in a
cryptic manner, how will they ever come
to the truth, how will they ever know
that he is god
the answer is quite simple
"they have moses,the prophets let
them hear them"(Luke 16:29)
Nice. Amen 🙏
