YOU HIDE YOUR PAIN WELL... WHY?

YOU HIDE YOUR PAIN WELL... WHY?

It's noble of you to smile and help others when you are in pain, but it's not the kingdom way. Unknowingly you are setting up a false reality, that hinders My work in My body!  Did you know I have placed brothers and sisters next to you to supply the healing ointment of love, intercession, and material goods to end your pain. By letting people speak the truth in love into your situation, you are growing up into Me, who is the head of My body, in all things: [16] As the head I have fitly joined together the whole body, and compacted it so that every joint supplies what the other needs. This is carefully done according to each persons gifts and calling. When each person does their part it works very effectively and the whole body is edified in My healing love and it continually increases itself in My love."  Ephesians 4:15-16 

Even this week a well know pastor committed suicide, with 5000 members all around him. Others had secret sins, that they would not, or could not confess to another strong believer, because they even as pastors, were disconnected from the body, and now they are dismissed in shame. Many pastors are disconnected from the body because they love the title clergy, and god forbid that they were ever considered laity, or part of the body with feet of clay! The kingdom plan is that every joint in My body is to have a function, not just those standing on a platform. 

Some of you have been hurt by a pastor or leader, and feel you have good reason to go it alone, but you are stepping outside My plan for you. Yes there are leaders that have lost their right to lead, and should not be leading, but you are not to disconnect from the whole body. Simply move to a body that edifies you and where you can edify others. Kingdom people do not through the baby out with the bath water! All leaders can and will fail, but some failures require them to step down for a time, because the water flowing from their belly is too bitter, for body members to drink.

Caution: When I am dealing with sins or issues in your life, that must be changed, do not move to another body because you are uncomfortable. Remember growing pains are also uncomfortable. When My body is functioning properly and well, it's members will "preach the word; and be instant in season, and out of season; they will reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine." 2 Timothy 4:2 KJV This is done so that your pain and suffering ends and you are healed, healthy and happy. So stop trying to be macho, by hiding your pain, "confess your faults to the ones I have joined you too, ones  you can trust, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed of the pain you have been hiding. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man does a lot to remove both inner and outer pain." James 5:16
