LYING SMILES

Every smile is not a true or genuine smile. for many, their pain, depression or discouragement is hiding behind their smile.  I heard a pastor say the other day that one of his members gave him such a beautiful smile one day. And later that day she committed suicide. Now or later is never a time to end your life by suicide. Your life is not your own to do that any way.

Behind many smiling faces is unhappiness. People are married and not happy, in relationsips and not happy. People are pastoring, in leadership or doing other types of ministry smiling,  but yet there is unhappiness behind their smile. For some we got ourselves into situations and relationships that we regret. But while we may have to suffer some things because of our decisions or actions, God is yet a God who gives us less than what we deserve. As the Lord spoke this to me this morning about 5am, I realized that your happiness and state of well-being is important to God,  and it rests upon His heart. And your God as well as your Heavenly Father wants you to be happy and be at your best state in every area of your life. (John 10:10) Admit and confess to God that you are not happy about whatever, and then cast that unhappiness upon Him, for He cares for you. And just like Jesus turned the water into wine, God can turn your unhappiness into happiness, says the Lord your God.

     It is hard to tell nowadays.  They had one guy that was putting antifreeze in his wife's Gatorade and called it suicide.  Suicide is a state of demonic possession.  Regression, Oppression, Depression and Possession.  What was the pastor preaching?

   

The young lady was an exchange student and had just got back to America, so I don't know if the pastor had just preached something, or if something spiritually demonic happened while she was away or what?Thanks for sharing.

Yes Elder Denny pride is a big issue along with unhappiness. But God wants to deal with all of our issues. I wrote another article "God Wants You to Be Happy" maybe a couple of weeks ago. So God is concerned about the issue of unhappiness that so many people are dealing with. And peaople have trained themselves to go on with their life and daily responsibilities and act like it's not there. All God is saying, "Hey, I know you are unhappy and I want you to be happy. You deserve to be happy."And God wants to heal us every where we hurt and set us totally free from the things that bind us and keep us from being our best selves, for which His Son Jesus Christ died for. Thank you for sharing.

     Keep in mind that everything that you are going through is not for other people to know.  I am declaring that no matter what I am going through that I am a blessed child of God.  I am declaring that weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.

     I am not giving the devil any more tears.  I am blessed when I go out and when I come in.  Understand that most people really don't care about what you are going through.  They are only concerned with what you are going through.  Psalms 142:4, "I looked on [my] right hand, and beheld, but [there was] no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul." 

    They really want to know what you are going through so they can put your business out on the street.  There are still others who want to know what you are going through so they can gage the effects of what they are doing to cause you harm.  God will allow you to keep going through until you stop crying out to people and start crying out to him. 

     David said it best.  "I will bless the Lord at all times."  The "will" means that I am determined come hell or...  I will bless the Lord.  Psalms 142 is saying that when you put your trust in man.  Man will fail you.  Man does not know what you need like God knows what you need.  God will break you of your dependency upon (man) other people.

Surely Pitbull God will break our dependency upon man, but because of our humaness, God still uses people, young and old, saved and unsaved to deliver us encouragement or hope any way that He chooses, and for that I am grateful. And He has used me many times to do the same for His beloved people, especially those who rreally didn't know Him and really didn't know how to lean on Him and trust Him. Thank yuo for sharing.

Absolutely.  We are called to encourage.  Isaiah 8:2, "And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah."

  Uriah: God is my light - You need someone that can see & confirm what God is doing for you.

  Zechariah: God remembers - You need someone that can confirm God did it for them, he will...

  Jeberechiah: God blesses - You need someone to encourage that God blessed them, he will...

  Prophetess:  Encourage concerning the word of God (speak the word).

Yes, there are still faithful saints of God who will speak life and not death concerning the word of God that has been spoken over your life and through his word.

 

Great word, thank you for sharing.

Elder Denny for a long time I would keep things to myself and would not share them with any one because I didn't feel that there was any one in my life that cared that enough about me to really care about what I was going through or dealing with, and then 2, I didn't trust people (for many reasons of course). 3rdly, after long periods of time, even years in some cases as the Holy Spirit was working in my heart and soul, many things that I didn't share or talk about, meant that I really didn't deal with them, began to come up and surface, and when they did, great pain was accompanied with them. So I realized that for me, it was good for me to talk about things whenever possible, so that I wouldn't carry that stuff around in me while it ate on my insides like a cancer or something. This is why I so appreciate when God does have some one some where in my life to hear my heart, issues, etc. And this doesn't mean that I am dependent upon them or people either. Love your more, thanks for sharing.

And every now and then He will put some one in our life or on our path to hear our heart, and for this I am most grateful :-D

Absolutely, David & Jonathan.  In this day and age, few and far between.  One sticks closer than a brother 24/7.  Most people will change on you like the weather.  Sad but true. 

Very sad and so very very true.
