MUR MUR

In the early morning hours at the time when the Holy Spirit brings a message, I saw these letters in black, on a white background;

(mur mur)

I understood he was referring to the “Children of God, murmuring…” or, maybe it was me…

[MURMUR; MURMURINGS

mur’-mur, mur’-mur-ing:

The Hebrew word (lun) denotes the semi-articulated mutterings of disaffected persons. It is used in connection with the complaints of the Israelites in the desert against Yahweh on the one hand, and against Moses and Aaron on the other hand (Exodus 16:7,8; Numbers 14:27,36; 16:11; 17:5). In three places (Deuteronomy 1:27; Psalms 106:25; Isaiah 29:24), “murmur” translates a Hebrew word (raghan) which suggests the malicious whispering of slander.

In the New Testament “murmur” renders two different words, namely, gogguzo, and embrimaomai. The latter word suggests indignation and fault-finding (Mark 14:4 the King James Version). The former word (or a compound of it) is generally used in connection with the complaining’s of the Pharisees and scribes (Matthew 20:11; Luke 5:30; 15:2; 19:7). T. Lewis]

PLEASE LISTEN AND IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN AND you realize you’ve been MURMURING…YOU MUST “STOP IT!”

Murmuring is sin…and sin separates us from our Father God…He doesn’t leave us but He will not answer our prayers when we call out to Him because He is Holy and He cannot tolerate sin. The Holy Spirit urges us to stop murmuring. He’ll keep tugging on our hearts until we repent. If we do not the consequences of sin will take its toll; we’ll become distant and depressed. We’ll be like the Pharisees, our hearts will be hardened against the things of God, blind, thinking we are right, but we are wrong and God will not hear us. Murmuring caused the children of God to walk in the desert for Forty years…and it kept them out of the Promised Land. Murmuring causes divisions and we become discontent, it says to God that we are ungrateful and selfish people and that we don’t trust God. It is like calling God a liar. Murmuring is the devil’s tool used to bring condemnation and death.

Murmuring is like a hissing snake it twists us until all we can see and hear is what we want, and how we feel, we are ungrateful and we become a stench in the body of Christ, and God will not allow it.

If this is you, or if you even have a hint you are doing this, go to the Lord and ask him to forgive you. Ask him to give you a grateful heart. Ask him to help you to remove the sin of murmuring. This is a very serious sin, it not only affects your life but it affects the lives of those in your sphere of influence. It affects your children for generations to come. Murmuring divides and corrupts like a cancer…

The Holy Spirit gave me this vision for a reason…and it is to repent of the sin of murmuring and to warn and exhort the body of Christ to stop murmuring and start Praising God.

When I was a little girl I was crying because I wanted this particular pair of shoes. I threw, what you’d call, a hissy fit….You know what my mom did…? She said something that has stuck with me the rest of life….She said, “I cried because I had no shoes, until I saw a man who had no feet.” That statement worked better than a spanking. I stopped crying, I settled down and I no longer wanted those shoes, because I could picture a man with no feet.

Our lives may not be what we want right now…we be facing an incurable disease…a financial disaster, stressed beyond our human limits…but as children of the living God we must TRUST God and allow Him to work in the situation to bring about His Glory!

God doesn’t put disaster on us…He’s not the one giving people cancer and chaos…God is a loving, caring, understanding, all-powerful Father who GAVE HIS SON to restore us to a loving relationship with HIM.

There is an evil in this world…Satan is the accuser of the brethren, always hissing his lies…He goes around seeking whom he can devour, to destroy and cause division in all of our lives. But, God Is, Greater!!

We’ve been given the WORD of GOD to help us in this life to be wise in our choices, to speak words of life, this is a reminder to all of us to stop murmuring and complaining and to open our hearts and eyes and ears and mouths and begin speaking words of gratitude, and grace and hope and to warn and lift up our brothers and sisters that God will bless them.

Be grateful when you see others being blessed don’t envy or slander them…because God is listening…and he will not tolerate the sin of murmuring…

God help us all today, Lord Jesus let us humble ourselves before you and repent of our sin forgive us for murmuring…let our hearts be clean and pure before you. Give us grateful hearts and let us adore you and love one another. Amen.

Murmuring is a slow poison…it takes your joy, your peace and your soul…

Do not allow murmuring to keep you out of heaven!

Speak life!

“Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world” (Phil. 2:14-15). “Be hospitable to one another without grumbling” (1 Pet. 4:9). It causes one to perish (1 Cor. 10:10).

Let us not murmur. Rather, let us be content in life. Let us be happy and “rejoice always in the Lord” (Phil. 4:4). Let us be thankful for our blessings and be characterized by a spirit of gratitude (1 Tim. 2:1).

Let us never be selfish. Let us always regard others better than self and look out for the interests of others (Phil. 2:3-4). Let us follow the things which make for peace and let all things be done unto edifying (Rom. 14:19; 1 Cor. 14:26).

“Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you” (Eph. 4:31-32).

There are several examples of the sin of murmuring in the New Testament, like the parable of the laborers in the vineyard (Matt. 20:1-16). They murmured because they had worked all day while others who had worked for a much shorter period received the same wages. They had received their just due but they still murmured.
