Past the pain comes reward through faith in Jesus Christ


Do We Complain?

Beloved people, some of you are going through so many difficult times, and when you feel like you’re at the end of your rope, it seems like there’s nothing left to do but get online and complain. It’s one thing to talk about what you’re going through, but when it turns into complaining, it’s harmful to your process. So, I just want to mention a few things.

Complaining is often a waste of time, even though it’s a human habit that we all fall into from time to time. It tends to arise from frustration, especially during moments when we’ve worked hard, been consistently diligent, and acted honestly, and things dont turn out like we envisioned.

However, time has a law of its own, and this principle reinforces the fact that good things require a great deal of patience—not murmuring, but faith and resilience.

Speaking personally, what the world sees as easy or appearing effortless comes from nearly ten years of hard work, study, faith, balance, and putting into practice exercising spiritual harmony.

It includes battles fought in the shadows, opposition to unfair slander and character assaults, prayer and forgiveness, and learning to teach myself the ropes rooted in the Word of God indwelled with Christ when the entire church refused instruction after I rejected their systems of control but radically trusted Jesus when I needed help, encouragement, and technical support.

Despite receiving little aid, I didn’t complain; I chose to teach myself through the hand of God, making a million mistakes as I learned from each one. The result was an effective transformation that I now share freely with everyone.

The Lord is showing the world that the religious systems of crooks in His church, which profit from His Gospel while swearing we needed them to carry out God’s plan, were a hoax all along.

Let it be an example to all of you out there who feel the pull of God away from the unholy ties that you have allowed to keep you divided from Christ—people and relationships that would have othrrwise seemed impossible to navigate, plus the callings and choices of God in your own lives.

But let me be clear: if you choose to say yes to Jesus, you must learn to say no to everything that hinders that process, makes it easier, or pulls you away from the path carved by God for your lives.

Beloved friends, it is a difficult, long, and tedious process of refinement, it’s painful, isolating, and can be lonely, however often we don’t feel the loneliness or stress like the rest because the Spirit of God and His favor, along with His grace, provide the peace and comfort needed in your heart and spirit when there is no comfort—just frustration, disappointment, and hardship.

There will be betrayal and backhandedness even when you love and help others until it hurts leaving you broke. That’s the pressing of the flesh and purifying of faith, and in that, freedom is found, and where holiness transforms carnality, it leaves you to walk out unscathed and burning brightly— not bitter or angry, but full of love, conviction, wisdom, and no-nonsense faith, coupled with zero regret or shame.

So when people look and think they they have us figured out, or that wisdom comes easy, it is anything but easy.

However, with the fruits of the Spirit, His love, and self-control, we learn not to get on social media and complain or talk about everything we’re doing or going through just to receive pats on the back from people telling us it’s going to be okay; it’s better to trust Jesus.

When we feel like complaining and murmuring, we should give it to God in prayer; that’s what true faith looks like.

As Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Please pray for Andrew; who is deploying for six months, and for Angelena, my oldest daughter, who has a rare blood infection but is doing better, slowly but surely.

And for Joel and me as we maneuver the spiritual course in this next season of change.

We are praying for you!

Thank you!

God bless us all.

Much love and truth.

    • Hello,

      I’m glad it moved you. Spiritual alignment and opposition are heavy today, but through Christ and balanced instruction, we learn that things don’t just happen by naming and claiming them as today’s charlatans preach. It’s a delicate and tedious practice of truth, trust, and sometimes keeping silent when action is necessary, while all things are made possible through the blood of Jesus. Christ deserves the praise. God bless us all.

      Shabbat Shalom, Sister.
