WHEN HELPING YOU IS HURTING ME: Overcoming Messianic Complex

 
WHEN HELPING YOU IS HURTING ME.
Just Thinking About Stuff.
 
Self care, and letting go of the past,  are  God given opportunities to be free from the brokenness and toxicity of those who, while you care about them, bring you down... causing you significant heart break and pain.  They are so wrapped up in their own journey that they have no need to wonder about where you may be in yours, and you could be so wrapped up in theirs that your objectivity is impacted.  The result is your own needs go unmet in a toxic sort of way and you just might not be doing the good for which you hope.

These people show no real interest or any concern in how well your are... even though your own well being is very important to their own.  But they want what they want when they want it. Continuing to attempt to improve such people's quality of life, while hurting your own, may seem God like. Keep in mind, however, that Christ Follower's believe there was/is one Messiah... and "you ain't Him!"    

We are called to Love God with all our hearts, souls, minds and strength, and we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves. This means, how we love ourselves - under GOD -  is a yard stick for how we love others.  If we do not know how to provide love for ourselves (or self care for ourselves,) we are making it unnecessarily difficult for us to keep serving God and others. We may even be contributing to  other people's journeys in a less than functional way.
 
Now back to the afore mentioned relationship(s). If the relationship(s)  is/are not reciprocal. Something is VERY wrong!  VERY wrong! It just might be you could be doing more harm than good...especially to yourself.
 
Letting go of your own personal Messianic Complex might be the best thing you can do for all concerned.  When caring for others, it seems to me that practicing the "Golden Rule" is important... just so long as you care enough about your own well being to be well.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
