The Will of God for the Lord Jesus, and His Body

"Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: 'Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You Had no pleasure. Then I said, 'Behold, I have come--in the volume of the book it is written of Me--to do Your will, O God.' Previously saying, 'Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them' (which are offered according to the law), then He said, 'Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.' By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." 

(Hebrews 10:5-10)

"But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated; for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession in heaven. Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: 'For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.' But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul."  (Hebrews 10:32-39)

"Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, THROUGH the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work TO DO HIS WILL, WORKING IN YOU WHAT IS WELL PLEASING IN HIS SIGHT, THROUGH Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. And I appeal to you, brethren, BEAR WITH THE WORD OF EXHORTATION, for I have written to you in few words."  (Hebrews 13:20-22)

These bible references to the Hebrews should breath life into the word of faith for you: "If you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9,10) Bear (all things) with this word of exhortation!

Take Heed to Yourselves, You His Disciples!

(Luke 17:1-6)

"Then He said to the disciples, 'It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES. if your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, '''I repent,''' you shall forgive him.' "

"And the apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith.' So the Lord said, 'If you have faith as a mustard seed, you CAN SAY TO THIS MULBERRY TREE, '''Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,''' and it would obey you.' " (My opinion: the mulberry tree represents sin unresolved and unforgiveness unresolved in His disciples hearts, which includes us, today.)

As you speak His words to this mulberry tree, you will notice when one sins against you, you will be able to rebuke him as Jesus would; if he repents, you will be able to forgive him as Jesus would; and when one sins against you seven times in a day and returns that many times, repenting, you will be able to forgive him. Right away you can begin this, overcoming over time. As you are committed in the saying of it, confessing His words, the Holy Spirit quickens you to walk in this just as Jesus did. You are now open to transformation in Him. When you fall in various trials, let Him show you how to rise up!

As These Abound, Ask of Him!

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. And our hope for you is steadfast, BECAUSE WE KNOW that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation."

"For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. Yes, we had the sentence of death IN OURSELVES, that WE SHOULD NOT TRUST IN OURSELVES but in God who raises the dead, who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us, you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the gift granted to us through the many."

(2 Corinthians 1:3-11)

I would say that many of us have found ourselves burdened this way, to one degree or another;
having partaken of the sufferings of this life OUTSIDE Christ, then receiving consolation in Christ. Suffering IN Christ is the feeling within indicative of "the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain". (Hebrews 12:27)

Having recognized the joy and peace in every revelation of His way, we recognize the burden as we are drawn closer. No flesh will glory in His presence! He plans to remove it from us!

The apostle John writes: "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him."

(1 John 5:14,15)

When you are burdened, weak, maybe in despair, ask of Him; not for what you think but for what He knows is necessary! If you will, the burden will give way to life!
