Frustration does not exist in the kingdom. It is a device of the world, a negative construct contrary to the nature of the bright one.
Frustration is an admission that we are baffled, checked, blocked, neutralized in faith – by people, circumstances, and opposition. Frustration legitimizes negative emotions, giving them a place in our experience.
Frustration is a disconnect opening our heart to lethargy. We become irked, resentful, disappointed, gullible to defeat – owned by pessimism.
We must learn how to use frustration and not be used by it.
To be frustrated is to admit that I do not possess at this moment the required amount of patience, peace, and joy for the circumstances of my life.
If I focus on frustration, the core of my attention is the opposite of who God is for me.
Frustration is an emotional sign that I need an upgrade. It points to an available increase, raising my awareness of God’s provision. Therefore, frustration must turn to celebration of God’s intent.
In the hands of the enemy, it robs me of enthusiasm. It blinds me to all the possibilities of the one true spirit.
I become disheartened, looking for pity, sympathy – seeking fellow victims of discouragement. I give permission to be afflicted. Frustration causes negative fellowship as I move in the opposite spirit to Christ within.
In the hands of the shining one it points towards fullness, the reality of something more – greater success unfolding. Frustration is turned into confession as we think in line with the father.
Thank you, father, that frustration reveals my lack of your fullness. It points me to the upgrade available. It releases your permission to become more.
Patience, peace, and joy abound constantly in your presence. Grace follows the upgrade; love flows more powerfully.
I am renewed, restored, made bigger, enabled to see from a greater height of your affection. Everything must bow to patience, peace, and joy. They are heaven’s true reality.
Frustration is earthly, one-dimensional, and destructive. It reduces everything it touches. It makes us start everything from a place of deficit. We struggle to catch up with God’s reality. Frustration is really from a wrong dimension.
To fight frustration, we must turn our back on it, look into the heart of the one committed to our development, trade our sorrows for his joy. Frustration must turn to celebration.
Patience is the fast track to greater heights. Joy is the welcoming party to presence. Wisdom releases the focus of heaven. Peace releases us from frustration, causing us a smile, be carefree. Contentment with Godliness –… A sure winner.
Assignment – check yourself out. Frustration makes people passive. Is there any area of your life that makes you feel powerless, neutralized in faith and resentful? Are you blaming others for your current circumstances? What is your negative confession regarding your relationship with Jesus in your own spirituality? have you allowed yourself to be robbed of your enthusiasm and joy? Describe your emotional state at this time. Frustration gives permission for the enemy to afflict us in our relationships. What negative fellowship have you allowed into your life with others?
Commission – use frustration; do not be used by it. If it is bound in heaven, it can be bound on earth. What can be loosed in heaven over your present circumstances? – Matthew 16:19. Look again at the prayer within the text. What is the upgrade the father wants to give you? How can you learn to use frustration and move in the opposite spirit? What is the process by which the Holy Spirit will turn frustration into celebration? What is your part in this partnership? Journal your responses and discussions
