Brokenness such a interesting feeling that one gets in their heart…we all need it… we all go through it… we usually don’t choose the time when it comes…it comes and molds us into someone vulnerable …something weak in a sense that allows us to realize the reality of our being and the greater connection to our God…brokenness draws us to our knees as we long for God… as we long for his truth…we long for his love…and God is love…
If brokenness is something that gets us before God and makes us realize that we miss him and long for him, than brokenness is a positive thing. For me brokenness is a reality check, that gets the focus off of me and shows me the true reality of myself, this world and God, especially that I cannot make myself broken and realize this on my own. It seems that brokenness is the work of God in me. We sing “brokenness, brokenness is what I long for... brokenness is what I need”, but how many of you while singing this song, can actually feel broken at that time or that night, because you want to feel it?

Today, I am broken for this world…for what religion can do to people…for the influence of leaders who long for love, and who cannot find it in anything else and so they tend to destroy those around them. Today, I my heart breaks open to the reality of cult groups that existed thirty years ago and exist today. I don’t think about them often, because I am not involved in one and can stay focus on one God that I love and known since I was little child. But everyday, there are many who are being hurt from those leaders who led them out from their families, friends and God…This is hard reality to process…I am feeling sick just thinking about it…I want to resist this reality…how can religion become so destructive and yet remain spiritual?...so evil?...so influential?...how can religion become so deceiving?...how can those leaders use the name of my God to harm people? He is God of love as far as I know him!
Peter talks about it as follows [this is Message Remix version of the Bible]:2 Peter 2:1-3
“But there were also lying prophets among the people then, just as there will be lying religious teachers among you. They’ll smuggle in destructive divisions, pitting you against each other- biting the hand of the One who gave them a chance to have their lives back! They’ve put themselves on a fast downhill slide to destruction, but not before they recruit a crowd of mixed-up followers who can’t tell right from wrong. They give the way of truth a bad name. they’re only out for themselves. They’ll say anything, anything, that sounds good to exploit you. They won’t of course get by with it. They’ll come to a bad end, for God has never just stood by and let that kind of thing go on.”
According to the Bible, in the last days there will be more and more of false teachers, and prophets described like those above…that is a terrifying thought…people will be brain washed with the false doctrine and promises…they will be going through hell on earth and have what will appear a blast, because they care about themselves only…I thank God for rescuing me from this and I pray that he will continue to protect me and reveal to me all those who try to trap me in their lies…will my friends be safe also…will they be protected by the only One and true God…are you safe…I don’t know…I pray you are…I write this so that you may be aware of those things…be prayfull about every church you enter, every speech you hear, everyone you meet who will try to tell you about the message of God…the truth is one: God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit…but be careful my friends, for even the demons agree that Jesus is God…that’s why false prophets will use their names…look to Jesus and pray…question what you hear…and trust Jesus…God is not after us to harm us…the devil is…God’s love can overcome everything…focus on God’s love…read his word daily- that’s your way of knowing the truth! Above all know that Jesus is the only way to God, that is to say it will not be through jimmy or Bobby or Andy that you will get to Heaven but only only through Jesus: "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John14:6 [NIV] John records Jesus saying this over and over and over in his book. Only Jesus. Only one way.
Jesus I pray to you, the one and only one Son of God;the only GOd! Be with us in those days when demons try to constantly deceive us by using your precious and holy name for their purposes. The reality is that we are weak without you, your word and your truth. our brokenness reminds me of this tonight. I come to you for wisdom, discernment and truth. Fill me and my friends with all of these and your love. Protect us and lead us by your truth. Give us therefore the strength to read your word everyday, so that we may know what the truth is and what is not. Bring our spirits, bodies and heart into obedience to you and set us free from the bandages of lies that might be resting on us. Oh God of Jacob, you are the only God and we proclaim your name through Jesus. Thank you for your love and truth. We love you and may we never stop…
