Grumbling, murmur n complaining

Numbers 11 The people of Isreal grumbled, murmur n complained wanting to go back to Egypt, they quickly forgot about the beatings, extreme labor, deprevision, ect. Their crying out to G-D to deliver them.


Why????

A rabble of people came out with them out of Egypt, these people lust greatly for the dainty things of Egypt. Israel agreed with them and disregard G-D's promise he gave to Abraham.

Israel dispised the heavenly manna...the prefect complete food provided by G-D daily.

Natural undisciplined flesh will always drift toward the negative. We don't even have to think how to complain, but we of have to think how to have a grateful n thankful attitude. We need to quickly put a foot down on negative thinking/attitudes then begin to speak n think grateful thoughts words n have the same attitude.



Have you ever notice a group of grumbling people, our flesh tends to move in agreement with them. How do we stop this leaning toward this attitude??? By making an Oreo cookie of gratefulness. The chocolate wafer represents the negative attitude/words that surround us. The creamy part represents the positive, grateful, thankful attitude. (this works great with tattle tailing children). Before they can tattle tail I have them say 3 things they like about the person, or are thankful and grateful about them. Once they think and say the good words they forget about the tattle tail part.

Next time you are in the midst of grumbling complaining people, play the Oreo game, have them each say 3 things that are positive. The atmosphere will change.

Susie for you and me. When physical symptoms come upon us, we need to say 3 positive things...We are covered with Shalom (complete wholeness in body, mind, and soul), we shall live a healthy complete life of wholeness/Shalom, we shall not die but live to praise and glorify the L-RD. We need to put the devil under out feet when he speaks negative words/symptoms about our health.

Phil. 2:14-15 Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining, and questioning and doubting, that you may show yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of G-D without blemish in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation - spiritual perverted and perverse. Among whom you are seen as bright lights - stars or beacons shining out clearly - in the dark world.

Rom 8:1 Therefore now no condemnation (there's victory) - no adjudging guilty of wrong - for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.
