Video: The Mourners
In this video we continue to study the Beatitudes and the next one is the Mourners. In Matthew 5 the Lord reveals the attributes of the blessed in the Beatitudes. My sister, Rosary, received the revelation that the Beatitudes are actually a progression of the soul as it becomes more Christ-like. We will study them with this in mind. Read this excerpt of the video transcript to get an idea of what it means to mourn spiritually. I hope you watch the entire video. It is full of spiritual gold nuggets.
However, God is guiding our steps as we travel the road toward the image of Christ. The next step on the journey usually occurs sometime soon after salvation. We begin to remember past hurts, times of disappointment and loss. The natural reaction is to mitigate the pain. “No,” we say, “I have put that aside. I don’t want to think about that or deal with it—it is too painful!” But the thoughts persist. Do not fear, child of God, it is the Holy Spirit Who has come to deal with your soul, and when He comes, He brings enabling grace (the power to comply) with Him. The spirit is born again in an instant at salvation, but the soul and body have a road to travel in order to become sanctified (the process whereby we are changed into the image of Christ). (See Romans 12:1-2.)
I hope you will view the video, The Mourners, and use the scriptural references below the video to do your own study. The Spirit will guide you and lead you to the verses that will inspire you to desire further intimacy with HIM.
