The origin of pain: The experiences in our lives that cause us to feel negativity in our hearts and it puts a padlock on our intimacy. Sorrows and greivances that have gripped our hearts so firmly that they become a part of our pschye, personality, and character. The arrows from tragedy and disappointment, the spears of anger from unfair treatment of loved ones, over expectations from incapable people.

What is pain? It is mental or emotional suffering and torment. We can distinguish different levels of pain. For example: the agony of defeat, the anguish of cancer over the years, the affliction of physical distress suddenly like the sharp point of a pin to the skin, or even an ache which applies the continuation of pain like a headache.

Interesting definition from Webster's Medical dictionary: (pains)--the protracted series of involuntary contractions of the uterine musculature that constitute the major factor in parturient labor and that are often accompanied by considerable pain.

It is often the uncontrollable stimuli in our lives that occur that trigger pain. Situations and circumstances that appear to be spiraling out of control can cause to feel tormented in our minds. Seeds of worry are implanted when we feel that things are not going to turn out good. When we have encountered pain, we have broken away from the foundation of wholeness. The person, place, or thing we once trusted is no longer worthy of our trust at 100%. The barrier of pain and bitterness often block out the vision of what God is doing in the midst of the strife. Meanwhile, character, fortitude, and faith are being built up inside what feels like a wilderness.

What is loneliness? It is state of experiencing solitary isolation. The experience of sadness from abandonment. Loneliness is one of the best places the Lord likes to do His best work! It is here that the distractions of normal life, the everyday traditional ways of living, our customs..etc have been disrupted. The worse thing you can do to a human being is to leave him or her in total isolation. We have been designed by God to desire fellowship. We are made in His image, the tri-God. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are all one. He created these earthly tents knowing that He would one day dwell with man in his heart by faith. Fellowship is in the will of God.

God purposely creates seasons of loneliness in your life so that you eventually look inward and move towards Him! We must be transformed here and get victory over the dramatic experiences that have taken place in our lives. I like to call this place "the breaking point". It is here that your will, your heart, your mind experience the greatest torment. There is no companionship from the familiar. You are destitute from support or sympathy. It feels like no one cares about you. It is here that the satanic thoughts invade your mind and tell you that it is better to die than to live like this! Despair is putting on his crown and getting ready to declare your mind conquerered for the kingdom of darkness. God said in the Bible that when we are weak then He is strong.
