BOAZ OR "JACKASS"?

[prophetess m. brignac]

It is an undeniable fact that one of the most prolific downfalls for the unwed sisters in the body of Christ is desperation and impatience for a mate or husband, which opens the door to vulnerability, and emotional instability, that is a magnet for the emotional bandits, pirates,and opportunists who frequent,and sometimes "stalk" the "Church" for such women, because they know they are plentiful, gullible, and ripe". Just about everyone is aware of the absence and shortage of "real" available,worthwhile, employed, STRAIGHT, and stable men in the world, and those stats are only multiplied within the walls of Zion, where one would hope to find a genuine man of God, sold out to the Lord, in service, SURRENDER, intimate relationship, submission and obedience. It is this severe imbalance in male:female ratio that has muddied the field for proper "discovery", "courting", and yoking together in holy matrimony, because many sisters have lowered and compromised their standards of what's acceptable and what's not, and then stayed in the prayer line for the next twenty years, because he's still the same heathen, if not worse, he was when they married him, or settled for brothers whom they know aren't saved, trying to get saved, or who want any part of God, and justifying it by "hoping", "fasting", and strategizing on "changing" these men or "getting them saved". The facts are that we didn't possess the power to get ourselves saved, and we certainly have no power to save a grown man who has as much right to want to be and remain unsaved, as we do to want to be and stay saved! We seem to get real remedial when it comes to comprehending, and rightly dividing what it means to be "unequally yoked", when someone we know is not a spiritual match, or a workable equal, appeals to our flesh or emotions,and if we are to be honest, for real, for real, many of us would admit that we don't so much want a husband, as we do a "LOVER"! We get to feeling deprived of the basic human needs of the satisfaction of our flesh, and allow the"itch" to dominate who we "say" we are in Christ, making it easy for the first devil who can "float your boat",or "make your liver quiver" to come in and separate you from the love of Christ! Some of us are guilty of what the old Mothers called "not believing that fat meat is greasy", and make the mistake of taking "fire" unto our bosoms, and winding up on the altar smelling like "bar-b-cue"! Often, we take it a step further and "yoke"/tie ourselves to him in marriage, but the Bible admonishes us that whatever we lie down with, is what we become, so wisdom would have us to be very cautious, prayerful, and discerning regarding whom we join ourselves to, because whether it's an "oops!", or a "God is sho nuff good!", the Lord is going to honor the marital Covenant, and expect you to do the same! If you don't have enough wisdom to diligently seek Him, before entering into a covenant agreement,there's a guarantee that you'll be doing a whole lot of seeking His face afterwards, and should He mercifully, allow you a way of escape, to fulfill your destiny, plant your sanctified hips on the altar in a posture of patient waitng for your "change" and your Boaz to come!

It is the nature of marriage and other intimate relationships for souls to be yoked, intertwined, and "tied" in spiritual bonds, and whatever you're "tied" to is going to be with you wherever you go, whichever way you turn, and whatever you do, influencing, speaking, and watching, so one would think we would choose with discrimination, but that's not usually the case or our process. Marriage Covenants are so intricately woven, and have so many "layers", and this is why when they are broken, unraveling, and dissolving them is so complex and painful,affecting unborn generations. "Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall FIND AN ASS
'TIED", and a colt with her". When you consider spiritual "mercinaries" and demonic forces of enchantment, mind-binding, spiritual ambushment, and emotional captivity, you usually think of "SHE", better known as the "strange" woman", but "SHE" has a male counterpart, who is also dispatched from hell's headquarters with a mandate to arrest,sabotage, abort, shut down, assassinate, and crush the ultimate destiny and charge of the "daughters of Zion", and they are remarkably smooth and skilled at it, so much so, that if it was possible "the very elect would be (and have been a time or two) deceived"! What makes this "creature found tied to a colt so lethal, is their charismatic approach, savvy, and charm, and just like their genetically similar "sister", SHE", they study and are briefed on their "prey", so that they can present themselves in the perfect timing, saying the right thing, the right way, at the right place, demonstrating the correct attention and affection, interest and admiratiion, espousing scriptures, praying eloquently, and perhaps even "slayin' 'em to the left and to the right", but, ladies, "the gifts and callings are without repentance", so we've been instructed to put the spirit "on trial", to "try it", and then "try it again", and see if it be God! The thing about the "jackass", found tied to a colt, is that it can only maintain a false praise, and assume a false posture of worship and adoration for so long, it can only go down on bended knee "in prayer", and hold impromptu "Bible studies" for so long, before they become inconsistent, and what's really in them, will begin to show itself and surface! Once the true origin of the "creature" tied to a colt is exposed, and it begins to bray like the mule that it is, or "woof", "oink", or "quack", you can not try yo explain it away, and go into denial, because the "the REAL SONS of God make none of those sounds, but rather they lift their voices like a trumpet, or make a joyful noise unto the Lord, singing, hymns, psalms, and sacred songs! The "creature, found tied to a colt" can never have your best interests at heart, because their "boss" has stripped and deprogrammed them of those kinds of emotions, concerns,and convictions,and even when they put forth their best and most convincing effort, please believe, it's a means to an end, to get you off of your square, unfocused, bewildered, confounded, dazed, and uncertain! Mercifully, your ABBA Father, would not have you to be ignorant, and these "creatures/jackasses, that like to attach themselves to "colts" have a pretty well set pattern, and are not that difficult to identify, by everyone but their "target, and this is because they move in with such stealth, pseudo-finesse, and utter cunningness, and strike so quickly, the subject of their attention is captivated, before a warning shot can be fired. They are usually very affable, intelligent,unassuming, watchful, quietly observant, and they apear to be harmless, and mild mannered, accomodating, compassionate, and deeply interested in the thoughts and lives of others. They often, just seem to materialize from nowhere , with questionable history, and prior lives, and a certain degree of "mystery' always follows them.

It's okay if you've found yourself "tied" to an occasional "jackass", like the proverbial "colt", and if you think back, it actually worked to your good, if no more than to clearly define what a real "Boaz" IS NOT, and what he WON'T DO! IT IS THESE VERY "CREATURES" THAT WILL GIVE YOU A GREATER APPRECIATION FOR YOUR TRUE "KINSMEN REDEEMERS", AS THEY ARE RELEASED AND DISPATCHED TO THOSE WHO'VE PATIENTLY WAITED, AND ALLOWED THEMSELVES TO BE "KEPT".! Everything that's good, has a forerunner, or an imitation, until God sends forth the real blessing! When your genuine, predestined kinsman redeemer finds you, laboring, contentedly, on the threshing-floor, already complete, in God, assured of who and what you are, being an excellent "bride" to Christ, he will approach youl like the "king' that he is, and not only effectively "cover' YOU, BUT HE WILL ALSO CARRY YOU, in those seasons where you're about to faint, or need to "pull back" for personal revival! He will celebrate all that you are, shortcomings, flaws, and all, enhance your greatness, and nurture you where you fall short. He will be your biggest "fan", and be willing to help you reach your ultimate potential, and still be secure in who and what he is. His greatest pleasure will be in pleasing you, his satisfaction shall come from knowing he has satisfied you, and fulfilling your delights shall be the delight that he lives for! Your Boaz/kinsman redeemer
will lead you into worship, and meet you at the altar of intercession, and freely worship his Redeemer, in brokeness, Spirit ,and in truth, and the knitting together of your hearts, souls, and spirits shall be mutual, and irreversible. The kinsman redeemer doesn't see the same "you" that everyone else sees,knows, or think they know, because unlike the "vision impaired" "creature", found tied to a colt, he will see you through the eyes of agape' and filial love, through the blood, and through purpose! He will be armed with the wisdom to know that your marriage/covenant isn't about the two of you, and your carnal attraction to one another,but rather about the advancing of God's kingdom, and two great destinies coming together, and blending in harmony, to be a single force to be reckoned with, by the enemy! Just as a "man" or a "BOAZ" can't be harnassed and made to "plow", or "saddled" and ridden, a "jackass" can't be placed in a suit, a pair of "gators, and given a silk handkerchief, and be made into a Boaz or a "kinsman redeemer"! It's really up to you, "jackass"? or "Boaz"?

Again, awesome and I give God the glory! The trap is set too when one (from among the unchurched) receives Christ later in life and is already bound not to the Boaz but to the ass! Love this word, it has the power and potential to get and keep many straight in their walk before God, particularly before any mistake possibly made can hurt the most - after that big I do!

God bless you abundantly sis!
