TURNING TEARS INTO WINE

Psalm 56:8 says,

“You have kept count of my steps when I was persecuted; you have gathered my tears into your bottle. Are they not in your book?”

This verse expresses God’s deep concern and compassion for the psalmist’s suffering. The image of tears being collected in a wineskin (a type of container for liquids) symbolizes that God not only sees the suffering of his people, but also values ​​and preserves it.

When we think of the transformation of sadness into joy, we can draw a parallel with the process of transforming grape juice (must) into wine. Freshly extracted grape must is simple, not yet fully refined, but as it goes through the process of fermentation, it turns into wine, a drink that is valued and appreciated.

This process of transformation can be seen as a metaphor for God’s work in the life of the believer. Just as wine is transformed into wine, tears, which represent sadness and suffering, can be seen as part of a process of purification and transformation. God, who saves each tear, does not waste it. Instead, He uses it to produce something beautiful and valuable in our lives, just as wine is the result of a process that takes time and care.

Sorrow, in God’s hands, can be transformed into joy, just as the process of fermentation transforms something simple into something refined. This process reflects the promise that God not only sees our suffering, but also uses it to shape us and eventually lead us to joy.

In the Christian context, this transformation is the promise that in Christ, all sorrows will be transformed into eternal joy.

 

Revelation 12:4- The dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her child as soon as it was born.

The woman is with Child... In Hebrew, 2024 is a PREGNANT year.

The dragon is ready to devour the child as soon as it is born... 2024 is the lunar year of the DRAGON.

Next in the Heavens, we have the Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse/Feast of Trumpets on 2/10/2024...... THE RING OF FIRE is a term used to describe the burning or stinging sensation that occurs during the coronation phase of the CHILD!

Isaiah 26:17- As a pregnant woman nears the time of her labor, and cries out in her pains; so have we been in your sight, O LORD.

Adding 40 days to this Solar Eclipse 02/10/2024 takes us to 11/11/2024 which is Cheshvan 10 in Israel, the day the DOOR of the Ark was CLOSED. Just like in the days of Noah...

2024 is also the year of the DOORMAN in Hebrew.

God save me from hell = 1111.

Everything is converging!

Beloved, every believer... reborn in CHRIST is no longer of the world! The old creature DIES, everything becomes new when we know the LORD 🙏🏼 So, do not hesitate to cry out to the LORD JESUS, open your❤️🙏🏼 Only HE can transform us completely📖🙏🏼🔥🙌

*😟"TEMPTATION AND SIN"😟*

(Rev. Augustus Nicodemus)

"JAMES 1:14-15 OFFERS AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION BETWEEN *BEING TEMPTED AND FALLING INTO SIN*."

"THE TEXT TEACHES US THAT TEMPTATION, IN ITSELF, IS NOT SIN, BUT AN INVITATION TO SIN."

"THERE ARE, HOWEVER, DIFFERENT STAGES BETWEEN THE MOMENT OF TEMPTATION AND THE SINFUL ACT." (1st) "*FIRST*, JAMES DESCRIBES THAT EACH PERSON IS TEMPTED WHEN HE IS ATTRACTED AND SEDUCE BY HIS OWN DESIRES."

"*TEMPTATION* ARISE WHEN SOMETHING EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL AWAKENS DISORDERED DESIRES IN OUR HEARTS."

"THESE DESIRES CAN BE RELATED TO VARIOUS AREAS, SUCH AS PRIDE, COVETOUSNESS, GREED OR LUST."

"AT THIS STAGE, THERE HAS BEEN NO SIN YET, BUT TEMPTATION HAS ALREADY SETTLED."

(2°) "*-THE SECOND* STAGE OCCURS WHEN DESIRE GIVES IN TO THE CONCEPTION OF SIN:

*"THEN THIS DESIRE, HAVING CONCEIVED, GIVES BIRTH TO SIN*."

"HERE, THE HEART ALREADY BEGINS TO GIVE IN, ALLOWING THE DISORDERED DESIRE TO TAKE FORM, INFLUENCING THE MIND AND EMOTIONS."

"AT THIS MOMENT, THE TEMPTATION WAS NOT RESISTED, BUT FOODED."

"IT IS AT THIS POINT THAT THE TEMPTATION, UNFIGHTED, LEADS TO THE DECISION TO ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DESIRE."

"FINALLY, SIN IS CONSUMMATED WHEN THERE IS A PRACTICAL ACTION."

"THIS IT IS THE STAGE IN WHICH THE DESIRE IS CONFIRMED IN AN ATTITUDE, THOUGHT OR BEHAVIOR CONTRARY TO THE WILL OF GOD."

"JAMES SAYS THAT, *ONCE CONSUMMATED, IT GENERATES DEATH*."

"THE FINAL CONSEQUENCE OF SIN IS SPIRITUAL DEATH, WHICH, WITHOUT REPENTANCE AND THE GRACE OF GOD, SEPARATES THE HUMAN BEING FROM HIS CREATOR."

"THEREFORE, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO UNDERSTAND THAT BEING TEMPTED IS NOT THE SAME AS SINNING."

"TEMPTATION CAN BE RESISTED BY FAITH, PRAYER AND BY CONSTANTLY SEEKING HELP IN THE LORD."

"SIN, HOWEVER, IS BORN WHEN THE PERSON GIVES IN TO TEMPTATION AND ALLOWS THE UNBRIDLED DESIRE CONTROL YOUR ACTIONS."

"THE PATH TO VICTORY OVER TEMPTATION IS THROUGH CONSTANT VIGILANCE AND A CONTINUOUS SEARCH FOR HOLINESS, KNOWING THAT IN CHRIST WE HAVE THE STRENGTH TO RESIST SIN."
