Its All Good - Trial

     For those of you know what the theme is for this past month it is "Its all good."  Today we completed a 5 day trial.  During the trial we made our points to the best we can.  We filed our paperwork and did what we needed to do.  There really is not more we could have done.  I believe we did the best anyone can do.  Nonetheless, I was found guilty and a responsible party for the violations that existed on the property.  The reason I was found guilty was not due to the evidence that I was seen doing it, ordered it or anything like that but rather because I live there.  Let me say that I am sure glad no one committed murder because then I would really be in trouble.  Since I live there I would have been responsible.
     On the bright side we were not discouraged.  We believe we are in the hands of God and to be prosecuted for worshipping God is really not that bad.  A blessing if you must.  There has been a lot of stress on our family but nonetheless it is the same thing you go through just because you go through it.  The verdict has catapulted us to the Federal Arena.  The judge stated in her verdict that she was not here to argue the law.  This is true, she can not change the law.  Even thou we were not asking her to, only that this law not be applied to us but rather to public assemblies which we are not.  Oh well what can you do.  This is why it is important to take this to another venue because there are courts that are there to change the law.  This is our goal not only for us but for all Christians who have worship in thier homes and should not fear persecution because neighbors don't want a "CHURCH" there. 
     Please pray earnestly and fervently for us as we make our way through.  God has and is bringing victory to us in the name of Jesus. 

Does God get Angry when we Doubt?????

Have You Read This Story!!

John 11:33-38


(33) When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

(34) And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

(35) Jesus wept.

(36) Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

(37) And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

(38) Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

I was looking up the word Groaning and found it to be fascinating.  The word groaning means:

embrimaomai

em-brim-ah'-om-ahee
To snort with anger; to have indignation on, to blame, to sigh with chagrin, to sternly enjoin.

What was Jesus so angry about?  Lets look....
When the jews were weeping and people were weeping Jesus Groaned.
When people said, "Hey culdn't this man have keep Lazarus Alive." Jesus Groaned.

We come to the conclusion that Jesus groans in reference to doubt and unbelief.  God is not please with doubt.  He is angered with people who have no faith and trust in Him.  People who decide to live with no hope.  Some will even say that God was angry at sin and death.  That death has caused people the grief, pain and doubt.  No matter how you see Jesus was not at all happy to the circumstance that occurred.  Since I believe this was all the plan of Jesus in reference to death the only conclusion we can come to is that Jesus was angry at the people.  Their attitude and behaviour during troubling times. 

Makes me wonder how I should be when I go through trouble and trials.  James through the Spirit says it this way,
James 1:2-3 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; (3) Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

May God forgive us when we doubt Him through times of dispair and challenges.
