UNDERSTANDING GUILT AND GODLY SORROWS

Romans 5:3 'And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope...' {KING JAMES VERSION}

Dearly Beloved, this message is an added Revelation to my previous teaching titled, 'WHEN THE PAST LIVES IN THE PRESENT'. To get a compact Revelation on what I'm about to reveal, I recommend that you first read the previous teaching which title I just gave, so you can get the whole view. Just check the Blog Roll, and you will find the title. God Bless You.  

As Children of God, we have to understand that all things works together for our Good {Romans 8 vs 28}, and there is no situation strong enough to tie us down.

Dealing on the subject 'Guilt or Godly Sorrows', as Christians, it is Godly sorrows. There's so much God wants us to understand about this subject. When we indulge in sin that brings guilt (godly sorrows) into our lives, it is referred to as 'tribulation'. Now from our opening scripture, the Apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit says to us, that Tribulation worketh Patience. Let's start with that.

TRIBULATION WORKETH PATIENCE

When you  experience guilt as a result of a sin, trust me, God takes advantage of that moment more highly than you think. The time involved in experiencing the guilt is what is referred here to as Patience. During this process, God uses your guilt to teach you about His nature, how that His body (your body) is not for sin. Get this, such teachings under such circumstances sinks so deep.

Now hear this clearly, the more your spirit assimilates the truths that God teaches you during this period, the more guilty you feel. Why? Because your spirit gets vexed more and more to the fact that it acted outside God's Love. So the more God uses your guilt to teach you what you did was wrong, as your spirit receives the teaching(s) deeply, the more guilt you feel. Now you may be having some sort of guilt, and wondering if this is true, yes! You never knew that it was God teaching you, until now that I'm telling you, because He has anointed me to preach this to you.

So tribulation worketh patience. Patience speaks of a pro-longed time. God already planned the process all out, and I'm glad to announce the end of the plan to you, it's 'Peace & Joy'. Glory! Hence, your guilts may last a pro-longed time, which God uses to teach you how wrong your actions were, which will grow solid roots in you never to stumble into that sin again when you eventually come out with Peace.

Sit tight and enjoy this story;

'One day I decided to quit, my school, my relationship with friends, my spirituality (Relationship with God). I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God. "God", I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit? His answer surprised me.

"Look around,"He said." do you see the fern and the bamboo?" "YES", I replied When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. It's brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I didn't quit on the bamboo. In the second year, the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.and again, nothing came from the bamboo seed.But I did not quit on the bamboo, he said". "In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed, but I would not quit. In the fourth year again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. "I would not quit","he said". Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth, compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant. But just six months later, the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle. He said to me, "Do you know my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots." I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you.. Don't compare yourself to others,"he said. "The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern, yet they both make the forest beautiful. Your time will come, "God said to me", You will rise high! " How high should I rise? I asked. How high will the bamboo rise? "He asked in return. "As high as it can? I questioned. "YES. "He said,"give me glory by rising as high as you can. I left the forest and brought back this story. Hope this can help you see that God will never give up on us?' Yea.

Did you Notice what I underlined out to you in that story, It had spent the five years growing roots. And that's it, during the period of your guilty lamentations, you were growing roots, you were gaining experience. That's what Paul referred to in our opening scripture, that patience worketh experience.

My dear, I tell you, you will stand stronger than those fellows who claim never to have committed that sin before in their lives. For example, adultery, fornication, murder are sorts that inflict guilt on one's soul. Hence I tell you, when this process I have shared with you thoroughly works on you, you will stand firm for the rest of your life than a fellow who have never committed such acts. According to our opening scripture, the end of it is HOPE! And Hope speaks of comfort. Meaning, you will end up comforted with peace and joy with no more sorrows and pains. O Hallelujah!

Tribulations gives us experience, experience makes us stronger, than ever!

God Bless You.
