Synopsis "Troubled On Every Side (in English)"
As I lay upon my bed the night of January 14th 2013, God spoke to the spirit of my mind, and said these words to me, "Stand in awe, and sin not commune with your own heart (mind) upon your bed, and be still (Psalm-4:4)." As I followed God's instruction, and begain to commune with my own mind (heart); I found myself searching it very diligently, finally coming to this conclusion. I was troubled on every side! It was at this time that the Spirit of God immediately inspired me to begain this book titled "Troubled On Every Side"! Every place that I looked deep within the chambers of my heart (mind) I found nothing but trouble therein! I as many people of God are continually confronted with trouble on every side! I was then reminded of the prayer our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ prayed prior to his crucifixion! In that prayer Jesus stated: "I pray for them (original apostles): I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are. While I was in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scriptures might be fulfilled. And now come I unto thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world (John-17:9-17 KJV)." Then Jesus stated: "Neither pray I for these (original apostles) alone, but for them (you and I) also which shall believe on me through their words (John-17:21 KJV)." As I continued to meditate on these things the Spirit of God brought to my remembrance these words that Jesus left with his disciples: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart (mind) be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John-14:27 KJV)." As I continued to meditate on these things in the spirit of my mind; an old song rose up within my spirit which an artist called, "Trouble In My Way". As I recalled the lyrics to this song I was led to zero in on these words: "Trouble in my way, I have to cry sometime; trouble in my way, I have to cry sometime: I lay awake at night, but that's alright, I know that Jesus, he will fix it afterwhile!" It was then that God's awesome Spirit took me in the spirit of my mind to the words of Jesus according to John-16:33 which states: "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation (trouble); but be of good cheer I have over come the world." I was then reminded of the apostle Paul's words of us that will strive to live godly in this world; that we would through 'much tribulation' must we enter the kingdom of God! My friends, you might be as I found myself; "Troubled On Every Side"! But remember the words of Jesus that the wolrd would rejoice while we weep but he said that our weeping will be turned into joy! If you are troubled in your life, this book is for you; if you are striving to live a godly life in Christ Jesus, this book is for you; if you are weeping now, my friend, this book is for you; if it seems that the world is pressing in on every side of your life; this book is for you or if you are one who is simply courious; this book is for you! You will be edified within the spirit of your mind; strengthened by the anointing within the pages of this book to hold your head up boldly in Christ Jesus, and keep looking to the hills from whence cometh your help! You will be blessed by this book "Troubled On Every Side"!
