I was on my way to the office when all of a sudden I got this sharp pain in my belly, I thought it was just a mild case of hunger pains but as minutes and even hours went by the pain did not subside. Usually when I drink water it would immediately assist me in settling my ache, but a familiar remedy was not the "cure all", this time. As I begin to pray to the Lord that he give me peace from this horrible sickening pain. Nothing happened! I was irritated & frustrated from this pain, but in my spirit I keep hearing, 'this is what some are doing to My church, causing them to have hunger pains.' The spirit of the Lord begin to minister to me he siad, '...Only giving them the familiar "cure all" feel good doctrine (as the water for me did). However God said, His spirit has moved yet many has refused to move with Him. He has shown them that this is not a time to be slack or slumber, but completed submissive to the spirit of God. Yet the spirit of God said, they turn a deaf ear to his unction.
He was allowing me to feel the aches in the body of Christ: many wonder why they can not get past THIS point in my life, some are constiplating on leaving church and the faith all together, some are thinking about off-ing themselves, but only because the fear of going to hell keeps them from doing so; (tired of being back to this place again), some are relieving themselves by being abusive to others, some are going back to the old nature, many are being lead astray with false gospels. Some are going to a state of depression and disconnecting from not only the church but their biological family. In which thus is the body of the Christ in an spiritual aching state.
I tell you the truth I felt this pain, this was not a good feeling one bit!
Even as I type these words I still feel the aches. Uncomfortable, irritated, frustrated, distracting, disconnect from truth, these are all the feelings that I was identifying with during this time. When I tried to press on and continue my activities for the day; the thing I knew I was to do I was literally being hinder from the presence of this God-forsaken pain in my tummy. UGH!
And so it is with the body many love God and want to be pleasing in His sight but because of the turmoil going on inside of them they literally cannot fend for themselves.
When I experience pain, myself, one of the natural reactions of MY body is it tries to expel (regurgiate). Strange but true, when I experience a substantial amount of pain, in my body; it defense mechanism wants to rid me of whatever it is that is hindering me from total healing. Rather I have to or not.
Even though this may seem right to my flesh, it is not right for my body. I am disposing of that which is needed, and it was not what I ate that caused this problem it was the a result of the pain I felt. And so it is with the body of Christ because of the painful state of the church it is causing many to regurgitate the word of God out of their life. They are literally letting go of the truth of God's word.
This regurgitation is depleting the body of needed nourishment it needs to operate collective in glorifying God on earth, or in other words it is depleting the body of anointing (power) & just like the natural body when all the food is depleted it begins to bring up stomach acid. Which over a period of time begins to eat away at whatsoever it remains in contact with. And so it is with the body, without the word of God being the foundation of our life we begin to deteriote and end up worst off than we were.
When the word of God comes again to foundate you in truth it leaves a bad taste in your mouth, and it becomes hard for you to receive it. And those that force it down, it becomes indigestion, meaning God has to delegate His spirit to begin to give you spiritual milk again to coat the word so it can go down smoothly, as to not injured you. AKA Grace!!!
One reason I BELIEVE that this is happening is because of ties that we have that God has not joined together/that God is no longer in, and he is causing natural consequences to move you out of what has been comfortable for you. And until you cut those relationships/things off {(NOTE: some literally are going to have to amputate because of the stronghold it has in your life; you must know there is a chance a part of you will be cut of as well. That part of you that finds desire in the thing God wants to put asunder)} that ache will continue to cause turmoil in your spirit and outwardly hinder you from your next dimension in your life.
You may have been thinking it was something you was doing, or if you were under some Deuteronomy curse.
I tell you the truth that some of the things you are going through is not a question of what, but WHO??? Who did cause you from the faith, who did defer you from hope, who did cause you from the love of God, who did prevent you from living upright from God??? WHO??? not WHAT??? until that question can be answered, God is only building that bridge of affliction to direct you to Him. I am not sure for you personal who/what these ties are with but I believe the Holy Spirit will reveal them to you. I pray you take heed to the word of the Lord concerning you.
