The Bridegroom's Voice: No Blame! Be-Better, BE NOT LAME!

John 4:41 His Servant Warriors! Intersection 4:41

John 4:41Then many more believed in and adhered to and relied on

Him because of His personal message [what He Himself said].

John 4:41 Our Hope-Our Prayer-Our Purpose!

Psalm 69:8-14

My brothers shun me like a bum off the street; My family treats me like an unwanted guest. 9 I love you more than I can say. Because I'm madly in love with you, they blame me for everything they dislike about you.

Hello Intersection 4:41 Servant Warriors! God Bless Your Day With His Purpose, Provision, Protection and Peace!

In praying for us today, God spoke this exhortation to my heart this morning:

No Blame! Be-Better, BE NOT LAME!

Blame puts you in a cycle of pain where the purpose of God is never wholly gained until He breaks you free! I don't doubt He can break anyone free, because of what I have seen and as I remind myself about Calvary; but He won't breach your will and blame really engages it full force. One of the greatest servants of the Old Testament left us a living legacy of life wisdom to learn from when it comes to not being a person who blames:

Jeremiah 17:9-10

"The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked.

Who really knows how bad it is? 10 But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve."

Take the Blame, You have so much good to gain.

Lay It At The Feet Of Jesus, DON'T BE-LAME!

Deal with Christ in your own heart, never be the same!

Be-Better, BE NOT LAME!

Grow in Christ, this being your central aim,

Never allow yourself to fall and BE-LAME,

Don't play into satan's deceptive blame game!

Be-Better, BE NOT LAME!

The human heart is wicked, when filled with shame!

A broken foundation is the life of the Be-Lame!

A circle of life where pain stays the same!

Be-Better, BE NOT LAME!

Be-Lame and wear bitterness and inner shame,

setting a course of woundedness as your internal frame,

positioning your soul in dark passion, for a Be- Lame maim!

Be-Better, BE NOT LAME!

The wounded heart, lame in Blame, strikes out in the same!

Offended in heart, wounding becomes your fame.

Turn Your Heart To Jesus, Don't Be-Lame

His Heart, Being Your Heart, ONE IN THE SAME!

Be-Better, BE NOT LAME!

Blame is true blindness to God! It is Being-Lame In Your Spiritual Sight!

John 9:2-5 True Blindness

Walking down the street, Jesus saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked, "Rabbi, who sinned: this man or his parents, causing him to be born blind?" 3-5Jesus said, "You're asking the wrong question. You're looking for someone to blame. There is no such cause-effect here. Look instead for what God can do. We need to be energetically at work for the One who sent me here, working while the sun shines. When night falls, the workday is over. For as long as I am in the world, there is plenty of light. I am the world's Light."

God has a purpose for everything that touches your life and in this purpose, we are positioned! Yes even when things look bad, worse as can be, His goodness will eventually thrive if we keep our hearts before Him instead of strewn out on the path of the spiritually blind blame.

It is so easy to blame someone else for your problems; it is the broad way of life. When things are always someone else fault, we never look at our own hearts and we never experience the joy in the fulfillment of the purpose of God in that situation.

Be-Lame…Blame is a pit that the enemy would like every servant to fall in because it binds you up in bitterness and wounds your soul; instead of being a servant unto Kingdom Purpose you become a wounded warrior unto the dictates of your soul, therefore become a injured person who hurts others instead of helping them. Isn't that the goal of our enemy? Guard Your Hearts Servant Warriors! Blame puts you in a cycle of pain where the purpose of God is never wholly gained, until with your bent will He breaks you free! I don't doubt He can break anyone free because of what I have seen and also as I remind myself about Calvary; but He won't breach your will and blame really engages it full force. One of the greatest servants of the Old Testament left us a living legacy of life wisdom to learn from when it comes to blame:

Genesis 45:3-8

Joseph spoke to his brothers: "I am Joseph. Is my father really still alive?" But his brothers couldn't say a word. They were speechless—they couldn't believe what they were hearing and seeing. 4-8 "Come closer to me," Joseph said to his brothers. They came closer. "I am Joseph your brother whom you sold into Egypt. But don't feel badly, don't blame yourselves for selling me. God was behind it. God sent me here ahead of you to save lives. There has been a famine in the land now for two years; the famine will continue for five more years—neither plowing nor harvesting. God sent me on ahead to pave the way and make sure there was a remnant in the land, to save your lives in an amazing act of deliverance. So you see, it wasn't you who sent me here but God. He set me in place as a father to Pharaoh, put me in charge of his personal affairs, and made me ruler of all Egypt.

Joseph was a great example of a person who lived his life not blaming others or God for the extremely hard season of life God had him in. Joseph realized the true promises of God, because He did not assume through blame that his brothers were the cause of his situation. He grew in whatever situation God allowed in His life and he restored unity to his family; in fact he saved his family because he refused to blame them, he rejected blame and was not Lame even though his situation was awful. He went from a pit to the palace because he didn't stay in the ditch and decorate it with blame, bitterness and woundedness. He fell in the pit and He brought the Presence of God in it with him. He did not blame, nor was He lame, even though he was in prison for a very long time in this pit not of his making. He walked in the purposes of God and realized the provision of God for his whole family; and for a whole nation because he kept his heart free from blame. Blame did not usher in woundedness in Joseph's situation it was the opposite! He was dependent upon God and the purposes of God were fulfilled not the strategy of the blame game that satan hoped would.

When we get into the blame game, we become Lame, we become wounded; the wounded looking for someone to wound instead of the Promised fulfilling the purposes of God. Blaming others causes us to stalk their souls with the bitterness of ours and look for ways to hurt them the way we feel or assume we have been hurt by them. Blame is an independence of dysfunction that stirs up our soul and we begin to impulsively serve it, leaving God's purposes behind.

Bitterness becomes another scene of the play called BE LAME and is acted out by the characterization of vindication from a heart that is desperately wicked, looking for someone to blame and maim. Be Lame… I pray today that we Servant Warriors are not, that we look to God and keep His Purposes as our center focus and as His servants do, remembering to guard our hearts and stay positioned in His grace at all times.

Beware and be careful Servant Warriors of God! Blame is being Lame… staying wounded in your spirit and it leads to wounding others. You take the focus off your own heart, your own walk with God and you hurt others as you continue to BE LAME! Blame hurts everyone and it always escalates into the person who is Being Lame, looking to take vengeance out on someone else and causing a lot of havoc in the lives all around!

1 Samuel 22:21-23

Only one son of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped: Abiathar. He got away and joined up with David. Abiathar reported to David that Saul had murdered the priests of God. 22-23 David said to Abiathar, "I knew it—that day I saw Doeg the Edomite there, I knew he'd tell Saul. I'm to blame for the death of everyone in your father's family. Stay here with me. Don't be afraid. The one out to kill you is out to kill me, too. Stick with me. I'll protect you."

Job 1:20-23

Job got to his feet, ripped his robe, shaved his head, then fell to the ground and worshiped: 21 Naked I came from my mother's womb, naked I'll return to the womb of the earth. God gives, God takes. God's name be ever blessed. 22 Not once through all this did Job sin; not once did he blame God.

Job showed us some really good wisdom about blame. Blame is sin. It separates us from the fellowship and Presence of God, therefore it is a very bad pit we can fall into! Blame is an assumption, that becomes spoken as half-truth, presuming on the purpose of God and spoken into our reality as illegitimate truth. The truth is that God is working in the unseen for our good, we are in a Holy Alliance with Him and everything that touches our lives cannot be someone else's blame. God's purposes undergird all of our ways and don't always come into harmony with our understanding. Job did not blame God for his situation, he did not blame anyone, therefore He fulfilled the promise and purpose of God through his trial and God blessed him tremendously in the end.

JOB SAYS IT ALL: DON'T BE LAME! LOOK AT YOUR OWN HEART! SEE GOD AND BE ONE IN THE SAME!

Job 19: 21-22

"Oh, friends, dear friends, take pity on me. God has come down hard on me! Do you have to be hard on me, too? Don't you ever tire of abusing me? 23-27 "If only my words were written in a book— better yet, chiseled in stone! Still, I know that God lives—the One who gives me back my life— and eventually he'll take his stand on earth. And I'll see him—even though I get skinned alive!— see God myself, with my very own eyes. Oh, how I long for that day! 28-29 "If you're thinking, 'How can we get through to him, get him to see that his trouble is all his own fault?'Forget it. Start worrying about yourselves. Worry about your own sins and God's coming judgment, for judgment is most certainly on the way."

BE DEPENDENT UPON ME, DON'T LEAN ON WHAT YOU KNOW, THAT IS BEING LAME! GOD SAYS DON'T BE-LAME, TURN TO ME…. THERE IS NO ONE TO BLAME, IT IS MY PURPOSE, THE NAME OF THIS GAME!

God's Second Set of Questions I Want Straight Answers

JOB 40: 6-14

God addressed Job next from the eye of the storm, and this is what he said: "I have some more questions for you, and I want straight answers. 8-14 "Do you presume to tell me what I'm doing wrong? Are you calling me a sinner so you can be a saint? Do you have an arm like my arm? Can you shout in thunder the way I can? Go ahead, show your stuff. Let's see what you're made of, what you can do. Unleash your outrage. Target the arrogant and lay them flat. Target the arrogant and bring them to their knees. Stop the wicked in their tracks—make mincemeat of them! Dig a mass grave and dump them in it— faceless corpses in an unmarked grave. I'll gladly step aside and hand things over to you— you can surely save yourself with no help from me!

BE HEALTHY, BE WHOLE, DON'T BLAME, IT IS NOT GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL! MAKE DEPENDENCE UPON GOD YOUR ONLY GOAL! DON'T BE LAME, BE A LIVING LEGACY JUST LIKE JOB AND SERVE THIS WORLD WHOLE AND WITH GOD'S NAME AND YOUR LIFE LIKE JOB'S WILL END IN THE FULFILLED PROVISION, PURPOSE AND PROMISE OF GOD.

JOB 42:9-17

They did it. Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did what God commanded. And God accepted Job's prayer. 10-11 After Job had interceded for his friends, God restored his fortune—and then doubled it! All his brothers and sisters and friends came to his house and celebrated. They told him how sorry they were, and consoled him for all the trouble God had brought him. Each of them brought generous housewarming gifts. 12-15 God blessed Job's later life even more than his earlier life. He ended up with fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand teams of oxen, and one thousand donkeys. He also had seven sons and three daughters. He named the first daughter Dove, the second, Cinnamon, and the third, Darkeyes. There was not a woman in that country as beautiful as Job's daughters. Their father treated them as equals with their brothers, providing the same inheritance. 16-17 Job lived on another 140 years, living to see his children and grandchildren—four generations of them! Then he died—an old man, a full life.

Dig Deeper…. Dig Deeper….Dig Deeper….Just Do It!!

Hosea 10:11(MSG)….it's time to dig in with God, Until He arrives with righteousness ripe for harvest!

Lamentations 3:38-40

Troubles and good things alike come to people because the Most High God has commanded them to come. 39 A man who is still alive shouldn't blame God when God punishes him for his sins. 40 Let's take a good look at the way we're living. Let's return to the Lord.

Jonah 1:6-8

The captain went down to him and said, "How can you sleep? Get up and call out to your god for help! Maybe he'll pay attention to what's happening to us. Then we won't die." 7 The sailors said to one another, "Come. Let's cast lots to find out who is to blame for getting us into all of this trouble." So they did. And Jonah was picked. 8 They asked him, "What terrible thing have you done to bring all of this trouble on us? Tell us. What do you do for a living? Where do you come from? What is your country? What people do you belong to?"

Hosea 4:3-5

That is why your land is in mourning, and everyone is wasting away. Even the wild animals, the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea are disappearing. 4 "Don't point your finger at someone else and try to pass the blame! My complaint, you priests, is with you.[a]

Lamentations 3:38-40

Proverbs 19:1-3

It is better to be poor and to live without blame than to be foolish and to twist words around. 2 It isn't good to get all stirred up without knowledge. And it isn't good to be in a hurry and miss the way. 3 A man's own foolish acts destroy his life. But his heart is angry with the Lord.

Psalm 101:1-3 Psalm 101 A psalm of David.

I will sing about your love and fairness. Lord, I will sing praise to you. 2 I will be careful to lead a life that is without blame. When will you come and help me? I will lead a life that is without blame in my house. 3 I won't look at anything that is evil. I hate the acts of people who aren't faithful to you. I don't even want people like that around me.

Psalm 69:8-14

My brothers shun me like a bum off the street; My family treats me like an unwanted guest. 9 I love you more than I can say. Because I'm madly in love with you, They blame me for everything they dislike about you.

Psalm 26:1-3

Lord, when you hand down your sentence, let it be in my favor. I have lived without blame. I have trusted in the Lord. I have never doubted him. 2 Lord, test me. Try me out. Look deep down into my heart and mind. 3 Your love is always with me. I have always lived by your truth.

Psalm 15:2-4

"Walk straight, act right, tell the truth. 3-4 "Don't hurt your friend, don't blame your neighbor;

despise the despicable.

Job 12:4

I'm ridiculed by my friends: 'So that's the man who had conversations with God!' Ridiculed without mercy: 'Look at the man who never did wrong!' It's easy for the well-to-do to point their fingers in blame, for the well-fixed to pour scorn on the strugglers. Crooks reside safely in high-security houses, insolent blasphemers live in luxury; they've bought and paid for a god who'll protect them.

Job 5:1

[Don't Blame Fate When Things Go Wrong ] "Call for help, Job, if you think anyone will answer! To which of the holy angels will you turn? The hot temper of a fool eventually kills him, the jealous anger of a simpleton does her in. I've seen it myself—seen fools putting down roots, and then, suddenly, their houses are cursed. Their children out in the cold, abused and exploited, with no one to stick up for them. Hungry people off the street plunder their harvests, cleaning them out completely, taking thorns and all, insatiable for everything they have. Don't blame fate when things go wrong— trouble doesn't come from nowhere. It's human! Mortals are born and bred for trouble, as certainly as sparks fly upward

Praying For All Of Us Warriors Who's Kingdom Trade Is Being A Servant Of The Living God!
