BEARING THE BURDEN OF THE BROKEN Episode 10 THE BROKENNESS: Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual CONDITION

Arise. Survive. A Thorn in My Side.

*****

2 Corinthians 12:5-10 NKLV

5 Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities. 6 For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me.
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to [a]buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 

Arise. Survive. A thorn in my side.

The Lord is calling me to “Arise”
yet has allowed “A Thorn in my side”
A Raging pain with no relief
A Burning bone bringing great grief

A Battle to rise above Brokenness
Learning to walk in total trust
Fighting through the heartbreak of
The desperate Fire of Heaven’s Love

Arise. Survive. A thorn in my side.

A Battle I’ve been through before
Waiting helpless before you Lord
Remembering that abusive place
Daily falling on my on my face

Struggling to walk or even breathe
Until you helped me finally leave
Rescued from my prison cell
Emancipated from a Raging Hell

Arise. Survive. A thorn in my side.

A Battle I’ve been through before
Fighting yet a different War
Chemo. Radiation. Surgeries.
Desperately calling me to my knees

Raging deep inside my chest
Diving deep within your depths
Bringing Death into your Life
Defeating Cancer and Bitter Strife

Arise. Survive. A thorn in my side.

A Battle I’ve been through before
Learning to walk yet Still the roar
Racing thoughts within my head
Trauma’d Brain tied me to bed

Disabling Disease to face me first
Lost within a symptoms' Curse
Defeating Darkness in my Mind
Rescued in your perfect Time
 
Arise. Survive. A thorn in my side.

A Battle You’ve been through before
Teaching me to Win the war
Carrying me through my Battles of grief
Breathing your LIFE to bring relief

Delivering me from a Desperate place
Rescuing me from Hell’s Embrace
Suffering Hell that I might Survive
Saving my Life from A thorn in my side.

Arise. Survive. A thorn in my side.

Bearing the Burden of The Broken

*****

Days turn to Weeks, and Weeks turn to Months, and as I bear weight for the first time on my Broken Leg, I realize that all that was there is gone. The strength I had is lost.
 
My foundation of stability has been shattered. The muscles that give me the ability to walk, the ability of mobility, have left the building, lying in a bed of immobility. I am bearing the burden of the Broken.

Living Broken breads Barrenness. Living Broken breads Brokenness. 
Living Broken breads Breathlessness. Living Broken breads Restlessness. 

Everyone bearing the weight of my Burden, bearing the weight of my Brokenness, bearing the weight of me, unable to bear my own weight, is weighing heavily as a Burden. Bearing the Burden of the Broken, Is weighing heavily as a Burden, on those who are bearing the weight, I cannot bear on my own, I cannot bear alone.

It becomes Unbearable. It becomes a Burden. I become a Burden.

The weight I bear on this Broken leg is unbearable. Bearing the weight to Walk is unbearable. But bearing the weight, is the only way to Build.

Bearing the weight is the only way to build Bone, to build Muscle, to build Strength. Bearing the burden of the Broken, is the only way to Build the Body.

Bearing the burden of the Broken, is the only way to Build the Body of Christ.

BEARING THE BURDEN OF THE BROKEN Episode 10
THE BROKENNESS – Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual CONDITION

         My Beautiful Believer, as a Broken body of Believers, we are all Bearing the burden of the Broken. We are Suffering the Sins of our Fathers. We are listening to the lies we are living in. We are Weary and Wounded Warriors. We are Spiritually Sick Soldiers. We are Physically Broken Believers. We are unable to bear the burden of the Broken in the Body of Christ around us, because we are The BROKEN.

	What Burden are you bearing? The shame of a Mother’s Scorn? The Depression of a desperate place? The Unloveliness of your loneliness? The Rejection of your reality? The Bitterness of your bondage? The Sorrow of suffering Sickness? The Disappointment of another Diagnosis? The Anger of your Abuse? The Grief of your greatest loss? The Rebellion of your Restitution?

	We cannot see The Beautiful, because we are blinded by our Brokenness. We cannot see GOD through our GRIEF. We harbor HATRED in our Hearts. We hold onto UNFORGIVENESS and we BECOME The Broken. We become The BITTER. Our Hurts are never Healed. Our Hearts are never Healed. 

	We have BECOME The BROKEN, and we LIVE the LIE, and Believe it. NOW, we are the BROKENNESS we BELIEVE. We are the BROKENNESS we BREATHE. And we are Spiritually Bearing the burden of The Broken, before us. 

	We Become the Shame of our Mother’s scorn, and now we are The scorning Mother Shaming our children. We Become The Depression. We Become The Unloving. We Become The Rejection. We Become The Bitter. The Sorrowful. The Angry. The Grief Stricken. The Rebellious. The Hater.
 
	We BECOME the SIN that has come against us. We become ONE with that SIN and we BELIEVE it. We are now BEARING THE BURDEN OF THE BROKEN. We are Spiritually Reaping the Fruit of the seeds that have been sown into our own Hearts. The seeds of Dis-cord, the seeds of Dis-trust, the seeds of Dis-harmony, the seeds of Dis-ease. The seeds of Spiritual Death. 

	Can you SEE?  Look and SEE the SEEDS. The SEEDS of Unrighteousness. The SEEDS of Sin. The SEEDS of The Curse. 

Genesis 3:15
 
15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,

And between your seed and her Seed;

He shall bruise your head,

And you shall bruise His heel.”

	We have BECOME the same SIN that came against us. We have becorne the Fruit of the Spiritual SEED, Satan has sown into our heart, over, and over, again. We have Believed it. We have Agreed with it. We have become ONE with it in our Heart. 

Believe the Beautiful!
