The Three Groanings

“For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees? But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience. In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered. He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.” (Romans‬ ‭8:20-27‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Firstly, the whole creation is groaning due to the fall that happened when Adam sinned. Sin brought death into the world, and death is producing all these groanings that show that creation is suffering.

God never designed for animals to harm man, and insects (such as mosquitoes) never bit Adam and Eve in the garden. Every creature, including man, was herbivorous, eating plants and fruits.

“God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food. To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.” (Genesis‬ ‭1:29-30‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

After Adam, the appointed ruler of earth, ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil against God’s command, that sin caused all of Adam’s subjects and kingdom to experience death and fall under a curse.

Ever since, the earth has been groaning, suffering from the effects of sin. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes—these are some manifestations of the earth’s groans.

Animals, insects, and birds attacking humans, plants producing poisons, these are also part of creation’s groans.

Secondly, we believers who have the indwelling Holy Spirit groan because we feel all the limitations and imperfections of this mortal body that has been corrupted by sin.

We who know about the Rapture eagerly long for the redemption of our body. Imagine a body that can never die or be destroyed. It never feels suffering, tiredness, or weakness, and can appear and disappear at will, traveling across the world in an instant, passing through solid objects at ease if needed to. This are just some of the amazing capabilities of the glorified body that is promised to us. Jesus demonstrated these after He rose from the dead.

God knows that we are groaning within, and that the sinful flesh makes us limited and weak at times. Our spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. To combat this, God gave us the greatest gift after Jesus’ ascension: the indwelling Holy Spirit.

The Spirit prays for the solutions to our most urgent needs that even we are unaware of, and He does so through groans that cannot be uttered.

Even though the Spirit does not pray with intelligible words, Abba God knows what is in the Spirit’s mind, and He takes that as perfect prayer in accordance with His own will.

These are the three groanings. The first came because of sin, the second because of patiently waiting for the final part of redemption, and the third is God’s gracious help to us while we are still waiting.

How wonderful it is to know that the Holy Spirit is offering up perfect prayers for you, even when you do not know the right things to pray for.

“Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.” (Romans‬ ‭8:34‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

In the same chapter, we find that Jesus who is in Heaven is also praying for us.

We have the Holy Spirit praying for us from earth, and we have Jesus praying for us from Heaven. This is according to Abba God’s will, and it is perfect.

“What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?” (Romans‬ ‭8:31-32‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The triune God is for you, not against you. The world was corrupted by sin, but God’s heart is not to destroy or condemn the world, but to save it.

He has already provided the perfect atonement through the blood that Jesus shed at the cross. God is using all His power to give you a glorious future, so put your faith in Him!

You don’t have to feel helpless or afraid…God has given you powerful spiritual weapons to use in spiritual warfare. In “Silencing the Serpent”, you will discover what these weapons are, what the enemy’s tactics are, and how you can break free from longtime addictions, bondages, and unhelpful beliefs: https://bit.ly/silence-the-serpent-now

Look Forward to Jesus’ Return

“But friends, that’s exactly who we are: children of God. And that’s only the beginning. Who knows how we’ll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we’ll see him—and in seeing him, become like him. All of us who look forward to his Coming stay ready, with the glistening purity of Jesus’ life as a model for our own. What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we’re called children of God! That’s who we really are. But that’s also why the world doesn’t recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he’s up to.” (1 John‬ ‭3:1-3‬ ‭MSG‬‬)

Such amazing grace and mercy that God has given us. Instead of punishing a wicked criminal, God loves the criminal so much that He decided to die in the criminal’s place to purchase his pardon, and make him an heir of all His rich estate. Each and every one of us were that wicked criminal. God’s grace blows our mind in the natural and sounds too good to be true, but we know that it is true.

The more you understand the significance of Jesus’ finished work at the cross, the more you will love God and be thankful for His grace.

This lifetime is not about looking to acquire as much material possessions and influence as possible before ending up buried in a grave.

For us who are children of God, we should not even expect to die, but to be received into the air when our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ returns for us.

Our mortal body will be transformed into an immortal glorified body like Jesus’, and we will be like Him in body, soul, and spirit.

“Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed. For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:51-54‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Children of God who live impure lifestyles have likely lost sight of the Lord’s return. They are drinking from the world’s spring, headfirst like a hound drinking water.

If you are not careful, the deceitful of riches and the cares of this world will trap you, causing you to forfeit great eternal rewards due to spending your time unwisely.

Do not think that you are immune to these—always rely on God’s grace to keep you on the path to righteousness, and to walk befitting of your royal status, to bring glory to your Father in Heaven.

I pray that we receive the grace to carry ourselves with a spirit of love such that unbelievers who cross paths with us encounter the God of grace through interacting with us!

How is the Father like? Jesus said, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.” Jesus is an accurate and precise visible representation of the triune Godhead. See God’s heart of grace and love towards you in the 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

Fullness of Joy

“Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge. My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.” As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips. Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.

The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance. I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons. I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety. For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.” (Psalms‬ ‭16:1-11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Are you wondering who is “Yahweh”? This English rendering comes from the four Hebrew letters, yud hei vav hei, which spell the name of the triune Godhead. When pronounced in Hebrew, it would sound like “Yahweh”.

Whenever Bible translations put “LORD” in all capital letters, it indicates that they had swapped the original yud hei vav hei for LORD.

When you call “LORD”, no one knows which one you are addressing, but thankfully many portions of Scripture in the original Hebrew language makes it clear that when you put your trust in Yahweh, you will be saved.

Before Christ came to earth as a man with the name Jesus, salvation was received by placing one’s faith in the name of Yahweh.

Just as we are saved by believing and confessing Jesus (Yeshua) as our Lord today, our predecessors who lived before Christ was born were saved by believing and confessing Yahweh as their Lord.

It has always been salvation by grace through faith, for no one can earn salvation through works.

When you read the beautiful passage above, what especially jumps out at you? For me, it is that in God’s presence is fullness of joy.

It seems like many people are bound by wrong believing, such that they are afraid of God, and they pray with a ‘feeling not good enough’, fearing and trembling attitude.

They don’t have the revelation like David does. No wonder God called David “a man after My own heart”. David understood God’s love and grace, even though he was a man who lived under the dispensation of the Law. Yet, he had a personal relationship with God that allowed him to see the heart of God.

Think about it—everything that gives you true pleasure in this world, didn’t God create them? He is the Creator who makes things that bring joy and pleasure, for He is full of joy and every good thing.

When you pray, envision a happy God who is smiling and excited to hug you and bless you with good things.

““He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.” (Luke‬ ‭15:20‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Never has Abba God been depicted to be in a hurry, except in Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son. The only time He runs is to hug and kiss His wayward son who has returned home. He runs to show you that He loves you.

Wrong believing causes us to run in the opposite direction, afraid that He is in a hurry to punish us for our sins.

Why don’t you run into your loving heavenly Father’s arms today? Thank Him for His grace, love, favor, and blessings. Experience the fullness of joy in His presence and pleasures in His right hand forevermore!
