Day 24-My Breast

The Man in the Mirror Journey

is a journey of walking out of a tomb and recognizing everyday the beauty and significance of how God created us. Instead of rebounding and finding esteem in the arms of someone else, these are the step to seeing it in the arms of God

Day 24

My Breast

Isaiah 23:5

"Oholao started who ring while she was still mine. She listed after As syrians as lovers: military men smartly uniformed in blue, ambassadors and governors, good-looking young men mounted on fine horses. Her lust was unrestrained. She was a whore to the As syrian elite. She compounded her filth with the idols of those to whom she gave herself in lust. She never slowed down. The who ring she began while young in Egypt she continued, sleeping with men who played with her breasts and spent their lust on her.

Isaiah 23:18

"I turned my back on her just as I had on her sister. But that didn't slow her down. She went at her who ring harder than ever. She remembered when she was young, just starting out as a whore in Egypt. That whetted her appetite for more virile, vulgar, and violent lovers—stallions obsessive in their lust. She longed for the sexual prowess of her youth back in Egypt, where her firm young breasts were caressed and fondled.

Got Milk?

1 Corinthians 3:1

But for right now, friends, I'm completely frustrated by your unspecified dealings with each other and with God. You're acting like infants in relation to Christ, capable of nothing much more than nursing at the breast. Well, then, I'll nurse you since you don't seem capable of anything more. As long as you grab for what makes you feel good or makes you look important, are you really much different than a babe at the breast, content only when everything's going your way? When one of you says, "I'm on Paul's side," and another says, "I'm for Apollo," aren't you being totally infantile?

1 Corinthians 13:11

When I was an infant at my mother's breast, I gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good

1 Peter 2:1

So clean house! Make a clean sweep of malice and pretense, envy and hurtful talk. You've had a taste of God. Now, like infants at the breast, drink deep of God's pure kindness. Then you'll grow up mature and whole in God.

Cover my breast

Exodus 28:15

[ The Breast piece ] "Fashion a breast-piece for making decisions—the work of a skilled craftsman. Make it like the aphid: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen.

Luke 18:13

"But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'

God's Response

Isaiah 28:9

"Who is it he is trying to teach? To whom is he explaining his message? To children weaned from their milk, to those just taken from the breast?

Isaiah 49:15

"Can a mother forget the infant at her breast, walk away from the baby she bore? But even if mothers forget, I'd never forget you—never. Look, I've written your names on the backs of my hands. The walls you're rebuilding are never out of my sight. Your builders are faster than your wreckers. The demolition crews are gone for good. Look up, look around, look well! See them all gathering, coming to you? As sure as I am the living God"—God's Decree— "you're going to put them on like so much jewelry, you're going to use them to dress up like a bride.

Isaiah 60:16

You will drink the milk of nations and be nursed at royal breasts. Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

Isaiah 66:12

God's Message: "I'll pour robust well-being into her like a river, the glory of nations like a river in flood. You'll nurse at her breasts, nestle in her bosom, and be bounced on her knees. As a mother comforts her child, so I'll comfort you. You will be comforted in Jerusalem."

Isaiah 16:6

"'And then I came by. I saw you all miserable and bloody. Yes, I said to you, lying there helpless and filthy, "Live! Grow up like a plant in the field!" And you did. You grew up. You grew tall and matured as a woman, full-breasted, with flowing hair. But you were naked and vulnerable, fragile and exposed.

Luke 23:29

For the time will come when you will say, 'Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!'

New Reflection

Genesis 49:25

because of your father's God, who helps you, because of the Almighty, who blesses you with blessings of the heavens above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breast and womb.

Isaiah 59:17

He put on righteousness as his breast plate, and the helmet of salvation on his head; he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.

Psalm 22:9

Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you even at my mother's breast.

Proverbs 5:19

A loving doe, a graceful deer— may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love.

Aphasia 6:14

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breast plate of righteousness in place,

1 Thesselonians 5:8

But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breast plate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.

Psalm 32:5

Then I let it all out; I said, "I'll make a clean breast of my failures to God." Suddenly the pressure was gone— my guilt dissolved, my sin disappeared.

1 John 1:8

If we claim that we're free of sin, we're only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. On the other hand, if we admit our sins—make a clean breast of them—he won't let us down; he'll be true to himself. He'll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing. If we claim that we've never sinned, we out-and-out contradict God—make a liar out of him. A claim like that only shows off our ignorance of God.

Revelation 9:9

They had breast plates like breast plates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.

Prayer

Father God! The Father who is also the Mother who nourish us from the womb and feeds us life! Thanks you for the many face that you share with us! Your character is indescribable because although you have been a mother to us we forget that u have been a nurturer as well as a disciplinary father! There is no broken home in the body of Christ! You are everything to us. Thank you for willing eyes to see the reflection that is birthed inside of be due to your grace and mercy!

We stand with the testimony in our chest! We pray for wisdom Lord God as we learn to cover our breast properly! Not just in the fashions, but in who we let caress and touch. The first scriptures are an example of a constant theme for my sisters, maybe not to. The extreme, but it is a gateway, even when you try to hold on or really don't have the desire to! We come against pressure for the "need" of affection. The disguise of security based on a lustful touch. It is in the authority of the name Jesus that we stand an know that we are suppose to cover our breast with righteousness! As I type this on my blackberry lord God give me direction! Help me be an example! Some days I don't know how to even dress without being exposed a little, and I don't see a problem with it, but u have asked me to cover it wit righteous...show me what that looks like on a daily. Not just on Sunday or when I'm around people from church, but as a person who seeks u and loooves fashion and art and the human form. Teach me a balance that you would be proud of,

I pray and lift up the needs of those who participate in this prayer whether its today or many days from now. Expose the issues of this part of our body! Let this part os our body reflect Christ! So when people see a picture they notice the difference, or when a guy or a girl try to seduce that part they are convicted!

This process desires the comforter, the holy spirit, and we ask for you know going deeper into areas and taboos!

We lift you above tradition and our earthly limitations of self love

We pursue holiness!

In jesus name we pray

Amen
