Every human being has needs on this earth.
-
He needs water, food and rest.
-
He has other needs which God gives to men, through holy marriage.
-
Every human being living on this planet, not as an angel or separated from the world, but in flesh and blood, has these legitimate needs..
-
It is not a sin to have needs, whereas our Father made us like this, and through Jesus, He said, "Before you will ask anything, He knows what we need and provides!"
-
The problem comes when our needs turn into desperate wants, and through our lack of patience, we expose ourselves to satan tempting us
-
without discerning between the source of that blessing or need..
-
We all have needs; the Father in Heaven promised to provide for us as long as we seek His Kingdom first!
-
Yet, our impatience and desperation to see them, have them, touch them, feel them now,
-
without waiting for God's protocol and time, exposes us to being tempted in not discerning the source of that blessing.
-
Let me ask you something. "Our Lord Jesus Christ, after being tempted in all ways, with hunger, fame, and tempting God, at the end of all temptations
-
the Bible says that someone came to serve Him; do you remember who served Him and blessed Him at the end?
-
The angels of God Almighty!
-
What can I learn from this moment from Jesus's life?
-
That satan can use your impatience and desperation for that need (a husband, a wife, a job, or even in the spiritual are, calling...)
-
and this thing can project us and push us to seek that blessing, without differentiating the source of it.
-
The enemy doesn't waste time and he can easily present the temptation as from God, as an angel of light.
-
Do you know how many people in different areas of the world go to Church and then to different mediums, for bread, for a job, for a husband, for a breakthrough...?
-
Forgetting that the Father in Heaven, if you seek Him first with sincerity and commitment, promises to provide all that you need.
-
One of the things that the enemy will use against you in that need that you have is - through your impatience and desperation is to make you run to wrong source of blessing..
-
How many are not crying today because the job that they believed was the dream job is provoking them pain, abuse?
-
People abusing them, speaking and fighting them constantly but what can they do? There is money and salary involved....
-
Who pushed you to be impatient and desperate? Was it the Father?
-
Others, unfortunately, fall in the same trap of impatience with marriage, because when they are 18, they want to marry....The Bible says "they stir love before time"
-
They forget that the order of God is - first place is you spiritual life and your relationship with Him
-
to be in that spiritual place, from where you will be able to manage all the other blessings that you expect from God when they will come.
-
and not to be a burden and curse for you those blessings...
-
The order of God for us is - prosper in our spiritual life, financial independence, and then marriage, but today everything is upside-down...
-
Why? I'm impatient, I burn, I stirred the love before it comes naturally, I'm desperate for this, for that...
-
Ok, God will not force you in your decisions, but take responsibility for your choice, so that later you will not blame and murmur to God, "Why God, why God?"
-
Abusive relationships, marriage, betrayals from friends, sleepless nights because of difficult job etc...
-
Satan uses your desperation and impatience in that certain need, in order to present you another source of "blessing."
-
Help us, Lord Jesus, not to become impatient in decisions and get desperate after what we seek and need,
-
because in God's time and after His method, the God of glory will grant what we want.
-
The Bible says in the Book of Ecclesiasticus," God does all things good and perfect at His right time!"
