Whatever has been bound already in heaven is capable of being bound on earth. Whatever has been loosed in heaven can be released into the earth (Matthew 18: 18). This is one of the major keys of the Kingdom (Matthew 16: 19). If frustration does not exist in heaven, there is no need to give life to it through our circumstances.
Frustration is a worldly concept. It’s a negative confession that we have been stymied, obstructed, and invalidated in our forward movement. We have allowed people, situations, and the enemy to threaten and hinder our progress. Frustration opens a door to negativity and makes our emotions vulnerable to disappointment and disillusionment. Pessimism is our reward.
In the Spirit, we are learning how to turn a negative to our own advantage. The antidote to frustration is patience, peace, and joy. Why focus on the vexation? A negative proves the existence of a positive because all of our life is a paradox. A paradox is two apparently conflicting ideas contained in the same truth. We have to be last to be first, we have to give to receive, we have to be least to be the greatest in the Kingdom! A paradox contains opposites. Frustration therefore has a heavenly counterpart. When we become aware of being frustrated, that frustration should point us to a promise of God and a provision of God.
Frustration is a sign to us then of an upgrade waiting for us. An available increase needs to be picked up and put on. Another possibility is present.
Frustration is also a sign that we are not being creative enough in Jesus. There are better questions to ask and superior viewpoints to be obtained. Heaven is never diminished, and God is never diminished in what he gives, and neither are we in Christ, in fact we are increased. God always causes us to triumph in Christ (2 Corinthians 2: 14).
Frustration is a big, wonderful indicator that something excellent is also present. God works all things together for our good. Frustration will always turn to celebration if used properly.
We need to realize that the Lord talks to us by pointing to himself. This is who I desire to become within you, so that you can impart it to your brothers and sisters in Christ.
The Lord has only one source for communication to us. It is the life of Jesus within us. Our old self is dead; your real self is Christ in you, did you realize that?
So, when the Lord talks about himself, he’s also talking about who you are. Who are you in Christ?
