[Applause] please God we amen put your hands together for my lovely wife anointed vessel beautiful thank God for you baby amen appreciate you all of the people of God that are here and that our desire is to know him someone say Lord I want to know you would you go in the King Jing Song of Solomon chapter one verse one as they're getting this up I want to discuss just this aspect about this this morning my subject to you this afternoon is wounded but I'm still in love wounded but I'm still in love Song of Solomon is one of the books of the Bible that we don't hear much about except if we hear the Rose of Sharon or the lily of the valley or his banner over me as love or love is the strongest death and that's pretty much about all of the book we know the old Saints used to tell us stay out of that book I said you reading through the Bible jump over that book and I I didn't understand we followed but we know I didn't understand till the Lord later on many years laters I was single at the time and the Lord told me he said if you want to understand my mind now go to the Song of Solomon I remember something I had studied some years prior to that it was a particular rabbi he wrote this if the Bible is wholly rabbi Akiba and he said and indeed it is holy then the Song of Solomon is the Holy of Holies so I began to read this book I had two questions for the Lord number one what is a book like this doing in the Bible the stuff you're embarrassed over God wrote it boldly if I start to break down some of the stuff in the Song of Solomon I would need a pair of sunglasses because you would be so red in the face I'd get a suntan so I mean this book is graphic and all and unapologetic about it the second question I had is what are you having a single man with a book like this for his answers to me were that I want to show you what I'm after what I am desire is what I want Song of Solomon is a literal interaction between a man and the woman we want to just spiritually typify it first but you have to look at the fact that is a literal love and it is literal intimacy and it's unapologetic for it I mean some of the things that that they say to each other you're going wow this is bypa hope you to remind you the business Bible then we take it to the next side to the next dimension and that it's between God and his lover and we are the lovers so if you want to see how song of Solomon's perceived the very first verse tells you how it's perceived the song of songs which is Solomon's now maybe you don't understand but what he's really trying to get you down to see is that Solomon wrote 3,000 proverbs and he wrote 1,000 songs this is the only song of Solomon's that we possess and Solomon introduces despite letting you know this is the superlative this is the cream of the crop you don't need the rest of the 999 this is the best what he's trying to tell you is you really want to get to know your God it's a passionate pursuit of his presence it's a love affair the Song of Solomon also brings out not just this incredible love affair in fact theologians had problems with the Song of Solomon ah'd simply because this graphic nature but one of the criterias for something to be in canonized into the books of the Bible meant that if it described the landscape of the Bible of course it had to match that landscape or it could not be true well when the they start discussing landscape in the scriptures of the Song of Solomon they could not place it within Jerusalem in Israel and therefore they were getting ready to nullify it saying it was not true then they got understanding that these were lovers talking to each other that were creating their own world love brings you into your own world you say how can I have peace in the middle of the storm love here's a question for you what do you do when your faith fails you turn to your love Galatians chapter 5 verse 6 see that in the amplified version of the Bible we want the second part of the verse but we'll read all of it for clarity Galatians chapter 5 verse 6 in the amplifying the Apostle Paul starts off by talking about the circumcision we really want the second half but we again will read the fullness of it for the clarity he says for if we are in Christ Jesus neither circumcision or uncircumcision counts for anything but only every one say only only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love so what do I do when my faith fails I ask God for something I'm disappointed and I don't know why he didn't do it watch how it works hope says God can face says God will but love says if you don't I will still worship the ground you walk on so one say I love you I love you I love you don't always understand you come on with somebody honest I don't always understand the Lord don't always understand why he won't answer certain prayers oh you never been there you hear a prayer request in church for someone you don't even know and they're dying you pray for them man God heals them your loved one you start praying for and God allows them to die there you go I don't understand why would you allow that why and what you have to do at that point when your faith does not understand you have to turn to your love and say but I love you I believe that you always do what's best and even though I don't understand it right now I trust you the old saying she used to tell us you have to trust him where you cannot trace him and you must love him when you do not understand him now please don't get it wrong because sometimes will we see people a lot of word of God and a lot of things that we operate in God we think they know everything about God as far as operation of God I will be the first to tell you that there many times I do not understand what God is doing or why he's doing it because that's also the realm of faith because God expects you to love him come on parents you do the same thing right your kids don't understand special when they're young why'd you tell them to eat the vegetables tastes nasty and you want me to eat it I thought you loved me hmm they don't understand that they don't get anything about rotting teeth and they don't get nothing about that they don't know that I care at that point but you expect them to trust you that's all God's saying to you there's some stuff I want you to eat that I know you don't like but some stuff I want you to do I know you don't want to do it would you trust me would you love me would you lift your hands again to him and just express that you love them I love you I adore you I do I don't understand everything Sheila I love she I don't know why certain prayers you didn't answer I don't know why certain things you didn't change God I thought if you just would have done this miracle that I was crying about so many souls would have been saved but you decided not to do it but I Love You God I thought if you just would have given me this job I was asking for this raise I could have given more money to the church instead you didn't give it to me and I'm still not financially struggling but I love you so the Song of Solomon is a very unique book is unique also in this aspect the book of Esther and the book of Song of Solomon both books never mention the name of God what's interesting about this both books the central figure is a woman when the woman becomes the central figure God is not mentioned why you say because God is pushing his bride forward while he stays behind the curtain controlling all things he gives honor at that point to his bride humble yourself therefore 1st Peter chapter 5 or 6 humble yourself therefore under the mighty hand of God but he may exalt you what's really amazing about this book one of these and why it's so hard to understand this book is many times you can't tell who's talking you know if it's the man or the woman or who's talking I ask God about that why why did you not make that clear he said it's very simple he said because when you're in love you sound like each other so it's hard to distinguish each other he said you there should be such a love of it between you and I they're talking to you sounds like me and talking to me sounds like you when people hear you they should hear God and when they go pray they go you know what God said told me something something like what you would say Oh bring me into that oneness bring me into that kind of a love affair say man but the Song of Solomon also is a realistic book even though it is a book that creates its own world and deals with various things it also has a realistic aspect to it regarding love come back to chapter 5 of the Song of Solomon you'll understand what I'm saying go back to again to verse 6 where we began the previous verses the times sake we won't look at them or read them but the previous verses deal with the fact that the man shows up to his door and in the middle of the night he starts knocking at her door her complaint is I've already washed up changed and gotten all my garments for bed I am comfortable now and I am ready to sleep and this is when you show up you see when God deals with you he does not show up when you're comfortable as far as shop in the area that you want him to he shows up and makes you uncomfortable he actually calls you out of your comfort zone and says if you want more of me you can't do what is comfortable to you you want something you never had you're going to do some stuff you've never done now you can't get a $5,000 worth of blessing with five cents worth of praise you want more you got to give more say man so she finally because her the Bible says her bowels yearn within her when you love him so much your love will overcome your tiredness and will overcome you your comfortable position to make you get up and respond to him she that's up to respond to him she says I opened for my beloved he's gone maybe you never had this God calls you to pray you go to pray and it's like he did a Houdini where are you you called me you got me up okay I'm not feeling you were sensing you using to be gone so you have to understand something about God the thrill is in the hunt he likes to be chased with those you taking notes some 42 verse one in the King James Psalm 43 verse 1 as the heart hands after the water Brooks so panted my soul after the O God my soul thirsts for God my soul thirsts for the Living God when shall I come and appear before my God my tears have been like me day and night while they continually have said unto me where is my god that's why some of you struggle with God because you serve him based on feelings if you feel him and he seems like he's moving all over you you feel like you have to cry you have to shake you always have to live but when you don't feel anything you don't know how to push into his presence and just love him and when God wants to mature you he's going to take you beyond the realms of just feeling him it's wonderful to feel him who doesn't want to feel him that's awesome to feel him but when you're in the realm of faith you go beyond just feeling him and your love starts the wheels you will I will bless the Lord I didn't say I felt like it I said I will do it I'll do it at all times [Music] somebody blessed the Lord in this house I'll do it at all times his praise shall continually be in my mouth she goes to the door she God's not trying to paint an incorrect picture for you there is a price tag to seeking his face he's not trying to hide from you he's not trying to hiding some small print he wants it to be very clear when she gets up to respond to him he leaves she starts calling out to him he doesn't answer her you see at the end he gave me no answer now she's a country girl if you know the setting of the Song of Solomon she's a country girl so go now to verse 7 she heads out into the city to go find him she doesn't really know her way around the city that well she's a country girl this is unfamiliar territory to her and it's all the more unfamiliar at night when God calls you the deeper territory he's going to call you into unfamiliar territory that you were clueless over so that you have no choice but to come into absolute dependence you must live the scripture of Zechariah chapter 4 verse 6 for those you taking notes Zechariah chapter 4 verse 6 you must live the scripture not by power nor by might but by my spirit save the Lord she makes it clear that she's seeking for him she shows she has passion hunger and desire to have him that she got up not simply out of her bed that position of mind that's comfortable but she got up out of her entire environment to go find him now watch what happens when she's looking for him The Watchmen find her they are on their rounds they're doing the rounds in the city protecting the city they find her The Watchmen symbolizes the leadership these are the ones watching out for your souls remember Hebrews chapter 13 verse 7 obey them that have the rule over you for they watch for your soul these are the Watchmen do you see what the Watchmen did to her look what they did they shocked me they wounded me she wasn't doing anything she wasn't making a ruckus she wasn't disturbing the peace she wasn't violating any laws sano-sama does not hide this if you want him there is a price for him just like he had to pay a price to get you called the cross you got to pay some prices to get him and some of you are not understanding you think this by seeking him it's supposed to be tiptoe through the tulips everything is just supposed to be smooth sailing because I'm going after God no no no when you go out to God God's going to let his children turn on you who turned on Joseph when after God gave him that dream it's his brethren oh not just his brothers Jacob rebukes him Jacob is the pastor he's the patriarch whatever level God wants to take you to is the level he'll let attack you so when God's first feeling with you if you notice Joseph first the Saints turn on him because you gotta remember now these aren't just as natural brothers these are the children of God that worship with him they offer up sacrifices together this is his church family as well so as natural family turns his church family turns then it's past returns this isn't opposed to happen to us then his church family sells him out exploits his gifts gets money for him what does he find himself part of ourselves this symbolizes the workforce then those in the workforce turn on him see what God wants to use you you can have almost for every area of your life in every area you will find rejection yeah I don't want to shout about that huh no no okay nevermind so you can see that just real quick look at it go to Saint John chapter 1 verse 12 in the amplified st. John chapter 1 verse 12 we'll come back here to the Song of Solomon Lucas Saint John chapter 1 verse 12 you have to understand this because God's not trying to hide this from you Saint John chapter 1 verse 12 in the amplified God needs you to see this because some of you don't understand this why is it when I start to see God he seems like all hell breaks loose oh it's not seeming like it is why because there's a price tag to knowing him and you have to count him worth it just like he counted you worth it for the Cross say man now but as to many I did receive back back up to verse 11 please back up to verse 11 so I get the fullness of this thank you he came to that which belong to him everyone say to his own it was his domain creation things world and they who were his own did what that's called rejection how can you be like him and not be rejected by your own your own natural family your own church family your own pastor I know we don't we don't we don't discuss things like this in church week we want to discuss how he's going to bless us and we want to discuss how he's going to use us soon we want to discuss miracles signs and wonders and healings and revival we don't want discuss price tag you know what's so amazing we understand price tag in any other area of life you don't soon walk in and just go get a computer and expect to walk out and not pay anything that's called stealing Fivefinger discount no oh did we mention the price tag that's listed is not the full price that was plus tax in small print and you have you ever noticed you don't haggle for the price you don't argue or debate over the price if you want it you pay it in full anybody consider them worth the price see we're discussing the price you're going to get rejected these people they're not always going to understand you people in the house of God a God will allow to turn on you there will be leadership that will hurt and offend you you know like I'll allow it to try your spirit you said you want me you said you want to know me and here you go this is an answer to your prayers so now that I'm answering your prayer how come your bottom lip is so low you look like you're playing handball with the curve where's your rejoicing where's your telling me thank you I'll kind of slow Yeley uh-huh when your hands it down here you sure sure pretty sure we got that God said I heard you and I am now taking you through the process of knowing me which means you're going to get rejected is that understand what does that teacher and school always bother me people do worse work occurs and the teacher bull's-eyes me I cannot be talking finally someone keeps talking to me I finally respond the teacher NAB's me the president sucking ten times and they see to finally get to me after I respond to them to tell them to be quiet stop talking to me she says you have detention here after school yes you have anything else you want to say so I give you another detention you're like oh I got plenty to say one's got allow that try your spirit do you know how to humble yourself even when you are falsely being persecuted you know what's happened a lot of you you don't know how to humble yourself when you're right you sometimes when the person did you wrong and it's clear they did you wrong and God will send you to go apologize because blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God it will turn you around back around and have you apologize to the teacher I'm sorry man for speaking out some of you are not in this lifetime okay but God's got to help you so that your halos not being held up by your horns okay so God's got a reveal character that's why God lets it happen let's see what you are you said you want to be like me how can be like me and people not mistreat you hmm say Amen some years ago I was driving down the freeway the streets of Boston I was driving down and you know the freeway this time was pretty open almost like a parking lot just might as well put up meters but this time it was kind of open someone passed by me very quickly pulled right in front of me almost cut me off and then gave me the sign to square me now I'm just as human as you are like oh you want to play all you do is this clue a brother in okay so I stopped my flip getting a little heavy on the pedal I know y'all don't have this problem don't worry about it so so I start talking to God thank God the Lord helped yes I talked to him real quick I said Lord speak fast I don't have time for some deep revelation right now and I don't have time for some deep prayer although most Heavenly Father that dwells of the higher echelons of the 3rd heaven come down now and ascend amongst Hudson dwell among know how sometimes you just got to get right to it and God the Lord was very kind to me he answered me very quickly guys lordy no answer quickly is going to be news at 6 preacher runs man off the road God for his kindness is mercy he said to me son I sent this man to cut you off I went huh my foot started coming off the gas pedal so what come again rewind behind what he said this man has a spirit of suicide he said watch him he was weaving in and out of traffic he was trying to literally trying to cause accidents he said he's a spirit of suicide I sent him to cut you off so the true be aware of his spirit so that you take authority over the spirit otherwise is going to be some deaths on this Highway today he said can I trust you with trouble everybody wants me to trust them with blessings but I can only trust you to the level of blessing that I can trust you to the level of trouble you want to be like them well then here's your question this is a question you ask me no trick question very plain straight for question what Jesus crucified for himself always accrues divided so others can live what's the answer I live second question so do you want to be like me hmm the only some y'all ain't open up your mouth yet y'all lookin like a deer in headlights like oh I didn't see that coming you say what do you mean because there's some stuff you're going through you're getting crucified and you're like what am I getting out of this you're not getting anything out of this it's to help somebody else live you're going through it so somewhere down the road and give that Testament to somebody else to help them to live you want to be like them there's a price tag to knowing him you must consider him worth it the word worship comes from the English word worth or worthy or worth ship when you worship you're telling him he's worth that and when you don't worship you're telling him you're not worth it I want to come somebody lift your hands and tell God his work fit you're worth every tear you're worth every rejection your with all the misunderstandings you're worth the hurt now if you're not careful listen see that's why God allows a lot of stuff okay sometimes we don't realize how human we actually are until someone does something no you know how that no hmm okay you know this sometimes where you literally want to go and the Lord takes your hands and thank you Jesus whoo that was close whoo thank you hmm okay sometimes you you know you determine that you want to slap the taste out of their buds okay I know some of you choose spiritual for this don't I told you don't be disturb others of you you know that sometimes people bother you so badly you know you because you don't you want to sound too awful of your flesh so you know you make it spiritual I just want to give them throat ministry it's a ministry right come on carpet ministry to ministry now God's doing is showing you there's areas of you that still need to die and this is why you're not like me that's why I let them hurt you was to show you how alive your flesh really is that's why I let that person get up in your face and I crazy and you like you know you don't know me like this and always been say you shouldn't do this you about ready to bring up another side see some of you understand you have your old man so dizzy he doesn't know whether he's buried or whether he's up you know mostly buried with him in Baptism okay so what happens to many of you you say listen Holy Ghost I love you I need you could you step over here moment old man come here I need you to help tell them on and so God showing you you're double minded a double minded man is unstable in yeah you're being unstable to teach you how to crucify the slush and keep it down in order to progress in the love affair watches watch this it is illegal both naturally and spiritually to become intimate with a child some of you want intimacy but you're not mature enough to handle the intimacy you're wanting with God so how does God mature you higher trouble trials test do you want a testimony it starts with test you want testimonies that's tested of kozmo knees moanings things that have kept you up late at night things that have bothered you things that you couldn't believe the way you were thinking that person bothers you so bad till you saw them run you ran them over in your head with both wheels but boom boom and then backed up and did it again some of you you found out you put Hollywood to shame it's called as the stomach turns you're your own producer and when someone does something wrong you bought you woo you can envision some stuff all God is showing you this has to die if you want to know me and am i worth it dying someone shout yeah you lift your hands again right now and just worship in my moment come on this is a real God dealing with real issues hey god I thought I was more safe than that it's amazing how quick and fast are flush can get up and show out amen especially when we're done wrong and we feel justified whoo I feel like you did me wrong and I felt you purposely did me wrong oh it's on you're not gonna treat me like that and then we quote we wrestle not against you no as soon as you got to ask God to help you to live what you know I know I'm not supposed to be resting in flesh and blood help me to rest against principalities power spiritual weakness rulers would help me to wrestle against the spiritual forces that I Oh help me to do what you trained me to do all right let's go back to Song of Solomon chapter 5 let me come back to this because you got to seek this chapter 5 we just dealt with verse verse 6 actually in verse 7 now verse 7 the Watchmen wounded her they took away her veil that was they her mantle her veil in other words they humiliated her when God really wants to use you he's going to let people humiliate you embarrass you because that's when our flesh really acts up is when it feels like it got embarrassed when we feel like we're really being taken advantage of I've been nice that's why some you have a hard time being nice anymore you don't you learn I'm nice people take advantage of me back me you leave me alone so I walk around with a scowl on my face bother me if you want to I am NOT responsible for you losing your head I'll make it spiritual I'll treat you like John the Baptist I know you don't do that don't worry about it the Watchmen the leaders they hurt me watches watches who turns on David when he just killed Goliath the King turns on Oh women why does King Saul turn on David what does God plan on making David oh see whatever God wants to take you that's who's going to turn on you God wants to give you a rank and authority doesn't you have the exact same office but you'll have the regular authority of it so in other words if God wants to take you up higher God will allow someone already in those high positions to turn on you and if you're not so if you're not careful you're so caught up with the fact that they did you wrong and they're supposed to be spiritual they're supposed to be mature and how could they do this and they're a child of God and I don't understand I thought we should know God we're opposed to love each other how could they act like this and God's will get you going have you read your Bible lately because this is all through scripture I never hid this from you when I'm going to use you pick oh and watch this one watch this one when God said I really want to use you parents I will let someone come after your children it's something you're good if they come after you come out to my kids you are roadkill ain't nothing to pray about except maybe resurrect you so I can kill you again I told you I know y'all don't have these problems see something you don't get it that's why you've been in this church for years also in your little Suzy your little Johnny they gettin problems with somebody the parents come together try to work it out little kids go on they go and play off together now they have problems together they forgot it they won't play now the two parents argue with each other I'm not going to come back to this churches it's the way you gonna treat my child so it got just tested you what kind of scripting that how much can you take how bad do you want me what kind of price tag are you willing to go through that's why some of your struggling you ask God to use your child do you understand that even God Himself could not become your Savior without being wounded do you understand God's not going to use your little girl and your little boy without letting them get wounded and when I was a man of you as soon as your little boy little girl starts getting hurt you jump in between God and your child that's going what do you want do you want me to use them or you don't want me to use them because I cannot use them without them going to fire and difficulty in trials and tests and adversities you are chosen in the furnace of afflictions and we're chosen you're refining there so God said you've been praying you could dedicate your child to me you told me you wanted me to use my your child you told me you want them to be a man or a woman of God some stuffs going to happen to them they're gonna have trouble at schools folks going start lying on them people don't start doing things to them they may get molested some stuff is going to happen to them my mother prayed for God to use me I wasn't being molested my wife even has more of a horrific story why would you allow that because if you're going to be like me you must know what it is to have power and yet can't help yourself Jesus is hanging on the cross as the god of the universe one word would have killed everybody [Applause] can I be honest with you we want so much power but we don't want any price it's not saner we want God to do so much through us but we're not supposed to go through a thing we're not supposed to get rejected when that's supposed to be hard to the point where we're crying we're not supposed to have difficulty in our marriages where should know God it's like we don't read our Bibles can I just show you this quickly look look at this cuz I don't know why it was like we have the Cinderella theme of God or something or the things of God you know just one kiss and we're happily ever after okay there's expectations that you have when you're married and then there's reality you expected you got Prince Charming instead you got Freddy Krueger and now you're living your own Nightmare on Elm Street you thought you got Snow White and now you got Sibyl she's got 16 different personalities she plays the game with you every morning guess what mood I am in today you lose it every time and then she set you up do I look fat in this dress you like oh my I won last rapture please now okay first corinthians chapter seven look at verse 28 once you see in the amplified for as quickly in chapter seven verse 28 there's some reason we think we're not suppose have any difficulty marriages we just know we're not supposed and that's why it's some of you young people you help your problems because you have got in your head but your that's going to be so complete once you get married this is why we have nobody happy we got married folk telling you baby stays single as long as you can says the loud mourn happy and then you've got a lot of single folk going i can't wait to get married as I heard one sister said if I can just get a husband before the rapture one sister had on a shirt every black woman needs a sob on a car let's stop she read a saved african-american brother okay that's too deep for some of y'all don't worry but okay another one had on this shirt every black woman needs a BMW come on sister what's your bad self another with black man working ok so but if you do marry you do not sin nothing wrong with getting married nothing wrong with wanting to be married in doing so and if a virgin marries she does not sit in doing so would you read the next part with me let's read out loud yet those who marry will have physical and earthly well get out of your head that marriage is a cure-all and we live happily ever after and we have a white picket fence we have 2.2 children however many children that really is and we have two dogs and we just walk through the tongue - how speaking in tongues and loving each other we don't walk we float then you discover you came on from an awesome apostolic holy ghost field service and the next thing you know you're in an argument with your spouse now you're just singing Amazing Grace at church you come home and start singing battle hymn a republic how did this happen we don't teach that that's why Paul goes on says I would like to spare you that don't he shot either we teach this very merry good to burn let me finish up the song goes on go back song someone finish up with this chapter six you got to see this she she is wounded she is bleeding the watchman actually hit to the point where she's physically bleeding and when God allows you when God is going to take you on a journey of knowing him he's gonna allow people to wound you now he who comes the key you must see her at this wounded point son of Solomon chapter 6 where verse 7 and you got to see her at this wounded point here's where most of us have difficulty we end up being controlled by our hurts and by our wounds rather than be controlled by the spirit and by the word by the love we feel justified so we end up acting more in our flesh than we do in our spirit so they did all this tour they wounded her they took away her veil or mantle they embarrassed her in other words you guys remember she's a woman of the Middle East to take away her veil is almost equivalent to raping her because her veil was her veil symbolized that only her lover could see her beauty and now you have exposed her beauty to the world so you have humiliated her almost as if it was a rape who did this to her the world no leaders of the church because God wants to know even if you leader commits adultery or someone does something they shouldn't do and you still love me I know you had confidence in them I know you looked up to them that's wonderful but even they fail will that throw you out or that make you all the more determined that I'm going to be like you say men hmm God's people can do some stuff now you're like wow God either come help your kids to come get them but anyway you want to do it you got to do something sometimes god the kids really confined themselves in messes why we have flesh we're not endorsing it but it is what it is all right verse 8 I want you to see this verse 8 she's wounded she's bleeding she's humiliated would you like to see her response to all of this now some of you again you get real spiritual you know the scripture vengeance is mine saith the Lord so you say to the Lord I don't want to do anything to them that's your job I just actually do give me a front row seat when you do I want to see it okay that's not the right spirit either mmm there's one person said I don't get mad I get even that's not the right spirit either okay but God so I got allows these things to reveal all these kind of spiritual natures to us okay no carnal nature so so what happens is what happens is the women of the city they're smart enough to know don't walk around the city by yourself see when you seek Him you will find yourself many times alone they don't know anything about him so they're walking in a group whoo that's why some of you you have too many friends you'll never know God because there is a friend that sticketh closer so sometimes he has to let you lose friends in order to gain him answer the friend sometimes he has to let you lose your BFF to become your BFF oMG so they're walking around the group because they got sense see when you want him you get radical they she she sees with him now that she draws attention she says I charge you old daughters of Jerusalem if you find my beloved are you catching this she's bleeding she's ciliated her veils off her face they can look at her and say you're a mess you an absolute mess and you look like a wreck what happened to you watch her watch her she only talks about him she doesn't get into all the depths of the womb she never told him the story of what the watchman did to her she never got into how unfair it was and I didn't do anything I was minding my own business by the way she says to them if you find him she's still looking for him see when you love him even though you're wounded when you love him you will still search for him even through your hurt through your disappointment through your broken heart you're still looking for him you don't let the wound and the hurt and the disappointment stop you from getting to him you let it drive you to go after him I know at first when you look at this thing I tell you that I'm sick of love it may sound like it first as she's saying like we say I'm SiC 11 is I'm sick of being hurt but as well she's simply saying as the amplifi brings out I'm simply sick to be with him what she's really saying is I mean the fever of love I am consumed by this love I have to have him do you know we're here look at verse 9 they have no idea who she's talking about they're too busy with their friends some of you are really funny some of you people you I don't know what to say I don't know what to pray you get on Facebook I want you Starbucks today I had a latte I made three bowel movements yeah me but you don't know what to say to God yeah whatever she's going they said what is your blood more than another beloved oh you fairest among women you see they're perfect they were taunting her what do mean take it you're a mess what does your beloved more than another beloved that we should give us give such a charge what's so special about this person that even when you're wounded you're consumed with him I don't know if you get this you want to win souls she's drawing people to him they're already asking questions about him a lot of you want to win souls but you don't want to be wounded you want revival but you don't want to be wounded you want anointing but you don't want to be wounded don't you know the process of anointing you take those olives from hanging on the olive trees it's so free bouncing of the air with the Liberty and you can sign them into a bin and people take their shoes off and start stepping it and crushing the others the outside of the olive is called the flesh by the vineyard when God wants anointing afloat he will let people step on you until it crushes your flesh that's what anointing begins with the flow sometimes you have to lift your hand and say I know you're worth the price but help me help me to declare you're worth the price help me to mean you're worth come on some of you you wanted to be honest with God I know in my head you're worth the price but I'm scared I don't know if I can take it I need you to help me to pay the price help me to be willing by your grace by your mercy help me to do it I don't time to go through this you can read on your own time from 10 through 16 she goes through a description of him from head to toe she describes him can I just look at verse 16 verse 16 she sums it up verse 16 of the same chapter she sums it up and this issue said his voice and speech are extremely sweet another was she she knows his voice I'm sorry something's wrong when you've been saved 10 15 20 years and you don't know the voice of the Lord God died for you to know his voice God speaks to children Samuel theologian said was approximately 10 years of age when God stood by his bed and called him by name God wants you to know his voice he died for that so he said she said how sweet is his voice exceedingly sweet yes he is what he's altogether lovely the whole of him is delight in his precious this is my beloved and this is my friend o daughters of Jerusalem see they want to know about him she's sitting saving that she's still yet bleeding she's never cleaned up she still has a veil off she's still an absolute wreck she's still hurting and wracked with pain but she's consumed with him now watch their response chapter 6 of Song of Solomon verse 1 do you want to win souls watch out happens look what they say to her where has your beloved gone oh you fairest among women again the lady show their interest as a remarkable person whom the Shulamite had championed with such an unstinted to praise they too wanted to know him they insisted where is your beloved hiding himself but we would seek him with you and if you want to win souls but you don't want to get hurt you don't understand Joseph how did you win your family because God first let my family turn on me to hurt me and then God used me afterwards to win them and that's why some of you been praying for your son to be saved and your wife to be saved and praying for your uncles be saved and then actually you know they're nasty and they're mean and they're cruel to you and they hurt you and you don't know why it's because God's letting you to be wounded so you can help save them instead all you know is you're hurt and it's not fair and I didn't do anything and they're mistreating me and you don't go to God and say heal me and comfort me and use me I want to be just like you you were wounded and yet you did nothing wrong you were wounded for my transgressions you were bruised for my iniquities the chastisement of my peace was upon you and so in like manner if I let people hurt me so I can help them so I can assist them so I can strengthen them so I can lead them to you because they want to know I know I hurt you I know you're bleeding how are you so consumed with you who is this I can so captivate your mind but while you're in such pain is singing Kumbaya my lord umaya come by here my lark come by you got to look at that one more time that's why I want you to see me amplified they too wanted to know him they insisted oh come on and lift your hands to him and glorify God is not trying to hide it from you he's not trying to play games with you he's not trying to write it somewhere in small print you want more of him there's a price tag you're going to get rejected you're going to get hurt there's things that God's going to let you go through and your human body sicknesses and disease and things you're going to fight but you've never thought God would allow there's things that God will allow to happen to your children there's things that God allowed to happen to your loved ones into your finances but you never thought God would ever allow happen in a million years but he's going to look at you and go I got one question for you am i worth it I know it hurts I know you're crying I know you don't understand I know you feel like you've been so faithful to me and I've been so faithful how could you let this happen to me but I just got one question for you am i worth this misunderstanding am i worth the pain am i worth the hardship am i worthy Agata your feeling right now is the confusion in your mind wrestling in your head with where are you God and how could you allow this can you push all of that aside and say though you slay me yeah well I trust in you now at this last service God's final question to this church after what you've heard and what you've learned do you still want me do you still want me are you still willing to seek after me are you still willing to pant after me I'm sorry I I didn't promise you a better roses you can't find it friend that's not what he promised he said yeah those that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord shall deliver them out of them all I did not promise you that your life was going to be sweet and easy and comfortable I never said that to you so I'm asking you do you still want to seek me do you still want to know me I don't want you to go charging in not understanding the price tag I don't want you to look at me once you're in it and say god you fooled me God you deceived me because I had no idea was going to be like this I'm telling it to you straight up straight on and I'm asking you was this understanding see because I knew going to the cross the pain that was waiting for me the humiliation that was waiting for me there was no loin cloth on Jesus that's something the Catholic Church put on him for modesty's sake in order to be able to display him he hung there naked before his creation yet he just he stated that you're worth it you were worth every nail he was every lash you was every spit in my face they plucked the beard or the hair of my face you were worth it the Bible said in Isaiah they hit me so much until my visit was March which means my face was unrecognizable I proven to you how much you're worth it now it's your turn to prove to me save the Lord how much I'm worth it what will stop you from aggressively coming after me what will put you into a comfort zone what will cause you to back up and back away and say that's just a little too high there of a price will you just be honest with me God said if you'll get real with me you'll get real help from me and if you'll be real with me and say I want to pay it but I know I can't pay it on my own come on look at Philippians chapter 2 verse 13 on the amplified I don't have time for Philippians 4:13 you can write that down and look that up later in the amplified but Philippians 2:13 you got to see this for the pins 2:13 you got to see this in the amplified because you need this in order to go further Philippians 2:13 listen let's read it together let's read not in your own strength for it is God who is all the while effectually at work in you energizing and creating in you the power and the desire both to will and to work for his good pleasure and satisfaction you can't take this price on your own God's got to work it through you you say how do I do it you start crying out Joan help me help me to be willing to pay the price strengthen me for those who taking notes write it down Isaiah 41 and 10 and the amplified isaiah 40 1 and 10 he said i'll shrimp it and harden you to difficulties I need you to strengthen me I need you to harden me to difficulties I need you to help me help me not just to be a crybaby as soon as someone hurts me I just pull away and I retract help me or I come out swinging yelling help me O God strengthen me so that when I'm hurting I'm mistreated I act like you I act just like you I handle it like you I worship I praise I go after spiritual forces I do what you say to do this is a time of Prayer remember God is reiterated to you annamaria he tells it to you again God does not use a guilt shame and condemnation those are satanic tools if you're feeling any guilt shame and condemnation right now that is not God that is the devil trying to take you down a road that God does not want you on so what does God do God convicts you not condemns you conviction means God points at your problem and then points to himself as your answer and then opens his arms as as come here and get in my arms I'll teach you how train you I'll help you to overcome that problem he always leaves you with the solution of himself he never leaves you hopeless he never leaves you feeling like you'll never be able to overcome that satanic that's what the devil does so you'll quit and want to give up he leaves you with the hope that if you'll just come after me stronger you will be able to overcome through me so if you'll be real with God he'll get real with you if you'll tell God hey I heard you I understand you I can't do this I need you to help me to do this I need you to work through me I need you to energize me and strengthen me I want to do it but Wow and sometimes you even got to be honest today you know what honestly I don't want to do it you got to give me the want to come on you got to get honest here you got to give me the want to you got to give me the desire to want to do it if you'll help me I can do it through you and I will do it through you come on this is your time of prayer once again if you want to come to the altar that's up to you you want to kneel it's your seat or sit at your seat you want to go to the back you want to walk around hey friend all of that's up to you but wherever you are if you're sitting don't
