Alicia Keys: Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart: In the Bible

(I submit to you that Alicia Keys is writing this song to God
or writing it about God)  We must keep in mind that [Psalm 52:17] says that 
a broken and contrite heart God will not despise)

Even if you were a million miles away
I can still feel you in my bed
(Doesn't God feel a million miles away sometimes;
She sexualizes it by saying,"I can still feel you in my bed,
Just as the woman at the well did to Jesus by saying, "the 
well is deep and you have nothing to draw with. [John 4:11])
Near me, touch me, feel me
And even at the bottom of the sea
(Psalm 139:7 says, "Whiter shall I go from thy spirit?
or whiter shall I flee from thy presence")"
I could still hear inside my head
(We have the holy spirit within us which speaks to us and guides us)
(David said even at the uttermost parts of the sea [Psalm 139:9])
Telling me, touch me, feel me
And all the time, you were telling me lies
(She accuses God of telling her lies!)
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
(We cannot make it without God!)
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Have you ever try sleeping with a broken heart?
(Psalm 34:18 says, "the Lord is nigh unto them of a broken heart")
Well you could try sleeping in my bed
Lonely, own me, nobody ever shut it down like you
You wore the crown, you made my body feel heaven bound
(Jesus wears the crown and his followers are heaven bound!)
Why don't you hold me, need me
I thought you told me, you'd never leave me
(Jesus said I will never leave you alone [Hebrews 13:5])
Looking in the sky I could see your face
(How could this song not be about God, whose face could we
see in the clouds but God's!)
Then I knew right…

The Power of Repentance

To me, repentance means a complete change in your way of thinking and actions which involves attaining a completely new perspective of past actions; these past actions which now are repulsive to you and no longer bring pleasure to you in any way/shape/form.

Webster's dictionary defines repentance as: the action or process of repenting especially for misdeeds or moral shortcomings.  
We find here that man sees repentance as a process, but how does God view repentance?  I also noted that Websters listed "death sentence" as a phrase that rhymes with repentance, perhaps someone else will see the correlation with this article's subject matter.  I won't try and over-complicate this by over-explaining the concept of repentance but the story of Jonah comes to mind here.  

In the book of Jonah Chapter 3 we find that Jonah finally makes his way to Nineveh and proclaims the word of God to its inhabitants and tells the people that they must repent or die.  Jonah preached the message of repentance or death sentence.  The people of Nineveh believed God and proclaimed a fast immediately and when the king heard of Jonah's preaching he, made a proclamation that every man and animal had to fast and sit in sackcloth and ashes, symbols of contrition.  The King hoped that God would accept their pledge of repentance and change his proclamation of doom.  

We find in Chapter 4 that Jonah was afraid that God  would change His mind and not destroy Nineveh (Jonah wanted it destroyed because they were enemies of Israel), that's why Jonah refused to go and warn the people at first.  These are Jonah's words in Chapter 4: (1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.  2 And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.  3 Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.)

We find several relevant concepts here: 
-sometimes we are not taught the word of God because our enemies want us to be destroyed [Hosea 4:6].
-Jonah is upset with God for being gracious, merciful, slow to anger and showing great kindness; he is upset with God for having all the traits which have benefited Israel all these years.  Like most hippocrits Jonah wants special treatment from God [Jonah 4:2].
-sometimes we disobey God because we don't like God's plan [Jonah 3].
-God loves everyone even our enemies and doesn't want anyone destroyed [2 Peter 3:8-10].
-animals are esteemed by God as much as humans: animals should not be mistreated [Jonah 4].  
-we also find that as we repent from our evil ways, that God repents from the evil that he has proclaimed will be done to us! which is amazing...

Jonah shows his hardness of heart when he states that he would rather die than to see Nineveh be spared, after which God chides him for it.  Sadly, we all know people with that mentality don't we.  They pray and hope that their enemies perish, while their enemies are praying for salvation with repentant hearts.  We sometimes forget that God sees the heart, while we just see the opponent or opposition and we want to destroy the competition.  

So is repentance a process or does it need to happen instantly?  The truth is, that Nineveh was told that they had 40 days before destruction, but we don't know how long of a space if any we will be given before God chooses to destroy us; therefore I would recommend that you [1] acknowledge your sin and repent immediately of your sinful ways; [2]accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, the free gift of God; [3] confess and believe that Jesus died of your sins and that God has raised him from the dead.

How To Pray: The Lord's Prayer

It occurred to me that I should make a prayer template on how to pray, since I wrote an article criticizing how people pray incorrectly.  The Lord's prayer can be found below: the disciples came to Jesus and asked Jesus, what was the correct way to pray, and below is what Jesus told them.



[Matthew 6:9-13]
King James Version (KJV)

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Now I will add in some of my own words as an example of how the prayer can be expounded upon, to suit any needs that one has in life.

9 Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.  Jehovah  God.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.  Give us peace, love, a sound mind, health & strength.  Blessings in our occupations.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.  Forgive me for lying, fornication, forgive the pride of my heart, laziness, and wasting of time and gifts.  
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: Deliver me from Satan and his demons, from powers and principalities, I bind them in Jesus name; in Jesus name I bind all evil that comes against me and rebuke it to hell.  Deliver me from; witchcraft, jinxes, haters of God, sickness, death, and the workers of iniquity.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

This is just a start, you have to experiment with it and curtail this template to suit your needs.

Also, don't worry if you can't find the right words sometimes; the bible says that the holy spirit prays for us also because we don't know what to ask for sometimes.  [Romans 8:26].

What is a Valley?

A valley is a broad depression between two high points(mountains). It may be natural to get down when going through trials, but we are to rejoice when we find ourselves in valley moments; we are not to be depressed. (And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope:) [Romans 5:3-4] A Valley  represents temptation, dangerous trials, and tribulation, however we know that the testing of faith inexplicably builds character and from this experience we develop hope. We soon find that we are not ashamed of our low points in life because we have hope. (And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.) [Romans 5:5-6] When we find ourselves in the valley of the shadow of death, in the darkness between two mountains, we have hope because Jesus is our light and without Him the shadow could not even be possible(Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.) [John 8:12]. We will soon be pulled from the valley and restored to proper standing with Jesus, in the light. As Christians we have nothing to fear. We must remember that, there is no torment in this world or the next, because Jesus paid the price for us on Calvary; we are redeemed and covered with his blood. (There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.) [1 John 4:18] I myself have feared many things, but we are not to fear but have faith in Jesus who lives within us. Christ has already overcome the world(These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.) [John 16:33 ], but we must walk in Christ's victory; if we wish to share in it, Christ must live within us. Jesus himself said that God is always with him because he always does the things which please the father (And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.) [John 8:29]. Do those things which please God!

God Has Seen the Affliciton

We oftentimes fall into affliction from our enemies when we disobey God. God is so righteous and powerful that he would not use a righteous person to afflict his children, he uses the unrighteous, unsaved, Hellenistic people of the world to punish us: it is this affliction, which causes us to repent. Upon repentance we are received back into God's grace and given a time of peace. This time of peace is intended to be permanent but will only last as long as our faithfullness lasts, because God is even more faithful to his word. II Samuel 7:10 says, “Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime, “

It is important to note here that it is the will of God for this peace/rest to be permanent, but because of sin and disobedience Israel fell back into the hands of their enemies time and time again as we do today. God confirms this in the 14^th verse and says, “I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:” So we see and know that the rod of men is related to the rod of God because even the children of darkness must obey his will. As children of light we should be even more willing to obey, but the heathen in this respect are more obedient to God than us and their obedience leads to our punishment, or is it that our disobedience leads to our punishment? The self righteous person will choose the first over the latter...
