How to Kill
Ice People
by py thomas© June 21, 2013
Question:
What does an "Ice Princess or Ice
Prince" think about? Answer: Is it better to be numb and
dead in part of your heart and part of your brain? It certainly can prove to be
a safe place, shelter and shield for unwanted intrusions. Really? Well let’s
think this through a little further…
Have you ever noticed that icebergs are only surrounded by other
icebergs in cold isolated places? Is
that really where you want to be?
Really? I don’t think so. Don’t let the actions and expressed thoughts
of others put you into a freezing prison.
Warm-hearted people tend to be the target of cold-hearted liars, users,
abusers, thieves, haters, backbiters, green-eye jealousy monsters, and
murderers.
There is a Way Out
Does a person’s disappointment have to travel a road leading to
dislike, or worst yet strong disdain, bordering on hatred? Literally, for heaven’s
sake, the answer is “no!” Likewise, do
you not know that hatred is a doorway and access way for all manner of evil to
poison one’s body, mind, soul and spirit! WARNING, GRAPHIC CONSEQUENCES AHEAD: Choose wisely for those who border on
becoming an “Ice Princess” or “Ice Prince.”
You can break through, just as an iceberg melts and breaks through and
joins the flow of the rest of the water.
Be a conduit of the “living
water” that YHWH provides through His covenant of salvation we have through
His son, Yeshua. Let the Word and love of
YHWH strengthen and refresh your body, mind, soul and spirit; and it will
likewise do the same for others through you – just as an iceberg melts, you too
melt into the hands of the Creator, Elohim.
Ice Breeds Coldness, Impatience & Keeps Us from Life
The frost and icing factor occurs in one’s life when they are unwilling
to wait and have patience. When we’re
being “icy” we fold our arms and cross our hearts when things don’t go our way;
or when we are rejected, hurt, abandoned, etc.
If left unchecked an icy barricade forms around our thoughts, our
emotions, feelings, attitudes, which subsequently will become the way we live
our lives if left unchecked. The scary
thing about this whole process is the subtleness in which it develops. We don’t see it happening, and by the time
the icebergs in our lives are established, it seems normal and we don’t even
recognize they are there. However, the
truth of the matter is that the icebergs are in fact prevalent and operating in
our lives is evidenced in our comments and thoughts by the complaints and
things we say things like:
·
The worship service taking too long
·
The prayers are too long – make it shorter
·
It’s too long to read, I can’t focus on the Word
of YHWH, but I can focus on a ballgame, shopping, eating, making money,
pursuing relationships with other people (most of whom I know I have no
business dealing with)
·
Why do I need to write anything down, that’s too
much of a process for me
What are we in such a hurry for, especially when it comes to the
worship of YHWH, the study of His word, and talking and petitioning Him in
prayer? The impatience and disrespect we
show to YHWH is truly deplorable and reveals just how much work needs to be
done in our spirits in terms of being delivered from self and carnality. What if YHWH responded to us in that manner –
for instance:
1.
I know you’re sick and hurting, but I don’t have
enough time to heal you – there are other things I want to do right now.
2.
I’m not writing any direction or help guides for
you! Look, you’re just going to have to
be able to retain everything I require of you by memory by time you’re 6 years
old, or you’ll have to suffer the consequences of My wrath against you. I don’t feel like taking all that time to
provide you with My written word about Me, creation, salvation, the traps of
the Devil and eternity because I have something else I want to do right now!
3.
Oh, so you’re in a jam and have a complex legal
problem facing you with the potential to send you to prison for a long time –
uh, well I only have 5 minutes to give you, so make it quick – you’ll just have
to figure out a way to condense a lengthy situation in 5 minutes or less, I
have other things I’d like to do!
4.
Yeah, yeah, you’re taking too long to respond to
My love for you, I’m only going to give you one week after you learn how to
read and write to repent of your sins and come to salvation – I have other
things I’d like to do, and don’t have all day to wait around on you, let alone
some years…are you kidding Me!?
5.
You can’t pay your bills and want Me to help you
get the money you need and give you favor with your creditors, landlords and
others? Really? Well look, I only have about 15 minutes to
give this matter any thought and consideration, which really isn’t enough time
for me to do much – that’s a lot of maneuvering, and look, I have something
else I want to do…so you better get crackin’…
6.
So you have a loved one that’s sick and you need
some time to get there to see them before I transition them into eternity? Uhhh well, that’s a big “no can do!” You see, I have some other things I want to
do; and My time is precious to Me, and you’re on your own on this one. I have other things I want to do, sorry.
7.
Oh, you’re facing a medical crisis and need an
organ transplant and you want Me to speed things along for you? Uh, I don’t think so…I don’t have that kind
of time to make for you. Besides, there’s
something else I’d rather be spending My time on, rather than this! Do you realize what kind of coordination goes
into situations like these? Really! I’m in a hurry and don’t have time for this!
So my question to you is, who do you think is behind those types of
thoughts that breeds impatience in us?
Is that the work of the Holy Spirit?
Is that one of the fruits of the Spirit, impatience? Have
you considered any of the following for examples of the life-changing events
associated with YHWH’s plan of salvation for us?
a)
Yeshua did not start His public ministry until
He was around 30 years of age
b)
Yeshua time on earth was solely for the will of
the Heavenly Father and nothing else!
c)
Yeshua spent a lot of time praying to the Father
d)
John the Baptist’s entire life was spent
proclaiming the coming of Yeshua
e)
Moses’ entire life was one of preparation to
ultimately lead YHWH’s people out of bondage, lead them in the wilderness,
labor in prayer for the people; go before YHWH on the mountain to receive and
write down the 10 Commandments (twice!)
f)
David’s entire life from a young boy had to do
with his preparation to ultimately become the King of Isra’el and to be
established in accordance to YHWH’s promises
g)
The woman with the issue of blood, who had this
affliction for most of her life, had to wait for Yeshua
h)
YHWH is eternity; and has a plan for us to enter
into eternity.
In every instance of YHWH’s plan for our lives as it relates to our covenant
of salvation, it requires an investment of our time – and the time to come to
complete submission and obedience. It is during this timely process that:
1.
we avail ourselves to be perfected and complete –
to pursue holiness by being obedient sons and daughters of YHWH;
2.
to wait on YHWH and acknowledging Him in all our
ways, which can only be achieved if we make the time to study to know how we’re
to acknowledge Him; and
3.
studying His word with diligence, and diligence
requires our time – lots of it.
Just think, the more we’re feeding on YHWH’s word and growing our spirit man, the less time we’ll be spending indulging our flesh, the more we become “more than conquerors through the Messiah that strengthens us.” (Now isn’t that an interesting concept….hmmm.)
·
A one day period with YHWH is like a thousand
years to us. We measure our lives in
seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years. However, YHWH is eternity and He created the
concept of time for us. However, He operates
and measures time in the eternal, with no end.
If we kept the Sabbaths, Feasts, High Holy Days and Jubilees as first
given to us, our understanding of YHWH’s eternal time clock would be better
understood. However, sadly, many have
strayed from His laws and commandments.
o
8 Moreover, dear friends, do not
ignore this: with the LORD, one day is
like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day. 9 The
LORD is not slow in keeping His promise, as some people think of slowness; on
the contrary, He is patient with you;
for it is not His purpose that anyone should be destroyed, but that everyone
should turn from His sins. 10 However, the Day of the LORD will come
“like a thief.” On that Day the heavens will disappear with a roar, the
elements will melt and disintegrate, and the earth and everything in it will be
burned up.
11 Since
everything is going to be destroyed like this, what kind of people should you
be? You should lead holy and godly lives, 12 as you wait for the Day of God and work to hasten its coming. That
Day will bring on the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will
melt from the heat; 13 but we, following along with His promise, wait for new heavens and a new earth,
in which righteousness will be at home. 14 Therefore, dear friends, as
you look for these things, do everything you can to be found by him without
spot or defect and at peace. 15 And think of our Lord’s patience as
deliverance, just as our dear brother Sha’ul (Apostle Paul) also wrote you, following the wisdom GOD gave him. 16
Indeed, he speaks about these things in all his letters. They contain
some things that are hard to understand, things which the uninstructed and
unstable distort, to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. (2 Peter 3:8-16)

“YHWH is
longsuffering and patient” with us, which results in our salvation,
deliverance, healing
o
The word “longsuffering” in scripture is
the English word used to describe the language behind the biblical Hebrew thought
that expresses, “Bearing injuries or
provocation for a long time; patient; not easily provoked” – noted in the 1828
Noah Webster Dictionary used to write the original KJV transliteration of the
Bible.
We “should”
consider that YHWH bears our disrespect and disregard for Him in not wanting to
make time for Him; or our continual provoking Him by our rebellious and sinful
ways, but He is yet patience with us with the hope that we’ll choose Him over
everything. With this truth staring us
in our faces, our response “should be” that He truly loves us, evidenced by the great
lengths YHWH went through to redeem us from the bondage of sin by allowing His
innocent Son, Yeshua to be beaten and crucified on our behalf, when we are the ones guilty of
the sin of rebellion. (Major “SELAH”
moment.) But is this the reality we
have choosen?
I have concluded
that is absolutely a good thing to wait on the LORD as stated in Lamentation 3:25-33, to give my life over into His
hands, because He is the only one who has a plan and a purpose for my life that
will bring salvation, peace and victory.
·
Our race of faith requires endurance, stamina
and much patience
·
Dying to self daily – just how many days do you
think you’ll need to be conformed into the image of Yeshua? What?
You can’t get it all done in a week?
What’s up with that?
o
35 Therefore do
not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you
have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: 37 “For
yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry. (Hebrews 10:35-37)
In Yeshua’s Strong Name,
