We Must Understand The Patience of Jesus Christ to Understand His Kingdom
Time to talk About WHY God has us IN This World that we are NOT OF... #doctrinematters #discipleship #sanctification
Why God Engineers our circumstances to test us FAR Beyond our Limit
The King James Bible gets Really Real about "Things which are NOT Seen
How do we come to know Jesus Christ?
He calls us.
What breaks us and humbles us from ourselves:
The Furnace of affliction: The anointing breaks the yoke of bondage.
The anointing is when the Holy Spirit = The Spirit of God who is the Spirit of Jesus Christ shows us we need Him to Save us from our Sins.
Godly sorrow works repentance: 2 Corinthians 7:19 This leads us to truly see our wretched state.
We then are SAVED by BELIEVING that Jesus Christ DIED on the Cross for our SINS according to the SCRIPTURES, He was buried, and Rose again the 3rd Day according to the scriptures. AMEN! 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB.
Others see our lives changing in the MIDST of our suffering that is the suffering of Jesus Christ = the Patience of Jesus Christ. Revelation 1:9>.
I found you in the FURNACE OF AFFLICTION: Read Isaiah 48:10 KJV.
Next:
2. Read Daniel Chapter 3. Get the Background.
The 3 Hebrew boys refuse to bow and worship the Golden Statue of Nebuchadnezzar.
3. Focus on their quote in Daniel 3:16:
Connect the Dots:
Begin at Daniel Chapter 3:16 KJV.
Focus on : “we are NOT CAREFUL” = Hebrew Ancient Hebrew 2214 from Strong's H2818 = to have need of nothing, not caring (TO CARE for nothing “of this world” the cares of this ‘world”) - Oxford English Dictionary page 340: Careful: full of concern to taking good care of, needful or to be mindful or attentive to the interests of, concern. Deep Study: ABASED (see meek) Matthew 5:5 and Crucified with Christ Galatians 2:16 and 2:20 KJV.
WE DO NOT FEAR in a SUPERNATURAL SENSE. Because PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT ALL FEAR Read: 1 John 4:18 KJV.
4. Now go to Philippians 4:6 KJV: “BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING”
It was the Spirit of Jesus Christ revealing Philippians 4:6 that delivered me when I actually studied the word CAREFUL (Adjective from the verb “to be anxious” and noun “worry, burdensome worry or concern - refer to Greek Strongs 3308/9) it literally means in CONTEXT = DO NOT BE WORRIED concerned, Have GRIEF, ANXIETY. The word FOR. (preposition by grammar = CONCERNING or considering or in regards to, or because of: NOTHING = ANY THINGS Whatsoever.
Note: Theologically, we can look at the word “for” as a conjunction which literally means; WORRY IS NOTHING is void and meaningless when existing in the PEACE of God through PRAYER.
5. Go to Philippians 1:18, 19 and verse 28.
Compare This with JESUS CHRIST in us when we are SAVED - Romans 8:9 and we are IN Jesus Ephesians 2:6 and 1 John 4:13.
1 John 4:13 and verses 18 and 19.
This completely kicks this into JESUS CHRIST LITERALLY WITHIN US AND WE IN HIM which brings about this SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE whereby we are able to endure that furnace of affliction that destroys mere mortals in the flesh. and those who WITNESS THIS ARE CHANGED... and yet look at Nebuchadnezzar... even after this amazing revelation he has to go through that horrific breakdown in Daniel 4.
What is TRAGIC is when we are SAVED and literally have JESUS CHRIST living within us and we are LITERALLY SPIRITUALLY living IN HIM Romans 8:9, Ephesians 2:6, 1 John 4 etc WE can only have true peace and JOY unspeakable. the WORLD OBSERVES that as did Nebecannezer see the 3 boys in the furnace. WOW
To clarify my use of the word TRAGIC is in the CONTEXT of what it takes for God to make a point and from the context of PERCEPTION:
When honestly I look at my pathetic life compared to my peers and your pathetic life in context of your peers THE WORLD PERCEIVES US especially our SELF LOATHING and others. Will are filled with SELF PITY and HATRED.
A deeper look at why I use the word TRAGEDY:
DEEP ANALYSIS OF THE WORD TRAGIC IN THE CONTEXT OF PERCEPTION. CASE STUDY OF HOW IT TOOK THROWING 3 HEBREW BOYS INTO THE FURNACE BEFORE NEBUCHADNEZZAR REALIZED THE TRUE GOD AND THEN EVEN LATER IN CHAPTER 4 OF DANIEL DID HE FULLY REALIZE THERE IS GOD
DEEP ANALYSIS OF THE WORD TRAGIC IN THE CONTEXT OF PERCEPTION. CASE STUDY OF HOW IT TOOK THROWING 3 HEBREW BOYS INTO THE FURNACE BEFORE NEBUCHADNEZZAR REALIZED THE TRUE GOD AND THEN EVEN LATER IN CHAPTER 4 OF DANIEL DID HE FULLY REALIZE THERE IS GOD
5. Conclusion
The word "tragic," in the context of perception, describes events that are sorrowful or catastrophic yet pivotal in reshaping how individuals understand reality.
In the case study of Nebuchadnezzar, the tragic event of throwing Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego into the fiery furnace (Daniel 3) disrupts his perception of power, leading to a partial recognition of the true God’s might. The more personal tragedy of his own humiliation in Daniel 4—losing sanity and status—completes this journey, forcing a full realization of God’s eternal sovereignty. The deep meaning of "tragic" lies in its dual nature: it signifies suffering and loss but also serves as a divine catalyst for transforming perception from pride to humility, from self-reliance to worship.
