THE BEGINNING OF BROKENNESS Episode 6

THE BROKENNESS: Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual POSITION

Suddenly 

Lord, 
I need You now
Everything is changing and I’m lost somehow
Everything I trusted in is failing me
Suddenly I’ve lost all my security

Lord,
I need You more
More than I ever realized before
Everything about my future changed today
Suddenly my dreams seem oh, so far away

Suddenly
You have brought me to the place where its’ just You and me
Unimportant things, I simply cannot see
Life, and all its’ Blessings are what’s dear to me

Tragedy
Makes this life of mine seem suddenly, so precious Lord
Another wasted minute I cannot afford
For all that You have given me is suddenly
Enough for me

Lord, 
How can it be?
This thing that You’ve allowed has really shaken me
All my hopes and dreams have slipped right through my hands
Suddenly I can’t rely on my own plans

Lord,
What’s all this for?
I have never felt this insecurity before
Now, I’m only wanting what You want for me
Because suddenly
I see Eternity

THE BEGINNING OF BROKENNESS Episode 6

THE BROKENNESS: Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual POSITION

	The BEAUTIFUL that was in the Beginning, now Betrayed by our Spiritual Enemy Satan. Suddenly, we KNOW Brokenness. Suddenly, we SEE Evil. Suddenly, the Darkness of SIN and DEATH enter. Separating us from the HOLINESS, and the BEAUTY, and the LIGHT, that is God. SIN separates us from the LOVE of God. SIN separates us from the BEAUTY. SIN separates us. Now BROKENNESS Becomes us. 

Genesis 3:7  New King James Version
“The the eyes of both of them were opened, and they KNEW that they were naked: and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves covering.”

	At the moment of their Act of Disobedience to the COMMAND of God, Suddenly “the eyes of both of them were opened” SPIRITUALLY, to KNOW they were naked. Suddenly, they were Spiritually Awakened to their Nakedness, to their Un-coveredness. Suddenly, they KNEW Shame. Suddenly they KNEW Fear. Suddenly, they KNEW Guilt. Suddenly, the Knowledge of Good and Evil happened. They KNEW Sin.

	Suddenly, The Beautiful LIFE in the Garden of Eden as they knew it, ended. Suddenly, the Intimacy of their Fellowship with God was taken. Suddenly, the security of their foundation of LOVE was shaken. In this moment, they became AFRAID of God, and they hid. Sin brings separation. 

	One Act of Disobedience brought Death. Death to Spiritual LIFE. Death to Intimacy and Fellowship, with a BEAUTIFUL, LOVING, and HOLY, Heavenly Father. 

	SIN cannot exist in the presence of a PERFECT God. LIGHT and DARKNESS cannot dwell together. The Blessings of the Beautiful, the Presence of God, and God’s Holy Covering of Protection, were all LIFTED from the Beautiful Garden of the Lord, from Adam and Eve. 

	The BLESSING of Obedience was removed. The CURSE of Disobedience came.

	God’s Creation, His Beautiful Believers, His Beauty Bearers, now Separated by SIN. Now, ONE with the Law of Sin rather than ONE with the Law of God. Through an Act of Disobedience.

	 We are in a very real Spritiual Battle with a very real Spiritual Enemy who Hates us, and is on Assignment to get us to Disobey the Word of God. We haven’t seen or realized this is actually what is happening. 

	We haven’t known our Invisible Enemy. Or if we have, we haven’t recognized him, or known how to defeat him in our lives. There are invisible Forces of Evil all around us, causing Chaos, Confusion, Division, Destruction, all disrupting Relationship, and bringing DEATH. We haven’t known we have been following the LAW OF SIN.

	Satan has stolen the RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, LOVE, and JOY of GOD. We are displaced and out of place, outside of The Beautiful Garden of God’s Grace. We are outside of THE BLESSING OF THE BEAUTIFUL. 

	We are outside of Fellowship with our Creator God, and we instantly SEE, FEEL, and KNOW Evil. We KNOW PAIN. We KNOW Sickness, struggle, trial, and grief. We KNOW hatred, sorrow, doubt, and Unbelief. We KNOW BROKENNESS.

	Brokenness begets Brokenness. We have Spiritually Blind eyes, Spiritually Deaf ears, Hearts that are Spiritually Hardened to the Heart of Heaven, and we are suddenly turned away. We are suddenly in Spiritual Darkness, without even seeing it. We have rejected God, without even realizing it. It’s all we KNOW.

	God has not turned, but we are now separated by SIN. A great Chasm of Chaos, and Confusion, lies between us. Blinded to the Truth, the Sanctity of LIFE is no longer precious, and Evil prevails. 

	We now Know Hate, and Hate separates. We seek our own Self-Righteousness instead of God’s Righteousness. We blame, and accuse, and Kill one another. There is no place for Peace, only jealousy, envy, and striving, for Power. We are lost without a way. But, God has made The Way.

	We haven’t known our Spiritual Battle against Brokenness. We haven’t known why we are still Living Broken. We haven’t understood why we repeat the same patterns of Failure over, and over, again, and cannot seem to have Victory in our lives. 

        We haven’t known why we are dying in Sickness and Disease, when Jesus died for our Healing. We haven’t known, because we haven’t been taught. I am going to teach you to KNOW your Spiritual Battle.

	SPIRITUAL BROKENNESS is our New Reality, which causes the manifestations of Emotional, and Physical decay.

2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

The Value of Wisdom
2 
My son, if you receive my words,
And treasure my commands within you,
2 
So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
3 
Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
4 
If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
5 
Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,
And find the knowledge of God.
6 
For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
8 
He guards the paths of justice,
And preserves the way of His saints.
9 
Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path.
10 
When wisdom enters your heart,
And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
11 
Discretion will preserve you;
Understanding will keep you,


Ezekiel 18:17  (KJV)
17 That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.

Ezekiel 18:31-32 (KJV)
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

Jeremiah 30:17 (KJV)
17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith theLord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seekethh after.

Psalm 119:92-93  (NIV)
92 If your law had not been my delight,
    I would have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget your precepts,
    for by them you have preserved my life.

BROKEN FOR ME 

You were BROKEN FOR ME. I was BROKEN FOR ME. All I can do is cry for my pain. All I can do is cry in my pain. And now all I can do is cry for Yours. All I can do is cry for my pain, in my pain, because of my pain. 

My pain calls me to You. My Brokenness calls me to my Healer. My Healer who was BROKEN FOR ME. You who were BROKEN. 

You were BROKEN FOR ME. You were BROKEN FOR MY PAIN. You were BROKEN FOR MY BROKENNESS. You were BROKEN FOR MY BROKEN BONE. You were BROKEN FOR MY HEALING. 

Your BROKEN BODY was BROKEN for my BROKEN BODY. You were BROKEN FOR ME to BE HEALED. I was BROKEN FOR ME to BE HEALED.

The pain I’m in is nothing compared to the Price you paid, to the Price You paid for my pain. 

My LORD, You suffered in Your Broken Body for my Broken Body, for my Broken Heart, for my Brokenness. Your body was BROKEN FOR ME. BROKEN FOR ME to Believe. BROKEN FOR ME to be Healed. 	BROKEN FOR ME to be Free.

The pain I’m in You paid for me. You paid this Price to set me free. You paid for this pain for me. BROKEN ON A TREE, BROKEN FOR ME. 

Sincerely,
   
Your Beloved Beautiful Believer Susan, Living Broken

Believe the Beautiful!
