Job 19

Amplified Bible. Job 19:1-29 [1]THEN JOB answered: [2]How long will you vex and torment me and break me in pieces with words? [3]These ten times you have reproached me; you are not ashamed that you make yourselves strange [harden yourselves against me and deal severely with me]. [4]And if it were true that I have erred, my error would remain with me [I would be conscious of it]. [5]If indeed you magnify yourselves against me and plead against me my reproach and humiliation, [6]Know that God has overthrown and put me in the wrong and has closed His net about me. [7]Behold, I cry out, Violence! but I am not heard; I cry aloud for help, but there is no justice. [8]He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass, and He has set darkness upon my paths. [9]He has stripped me of my glory and taken the crown from my head. [10]He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone; my hope has He pulled up like a tree. [11]He has also kindled His wrath against me, and He counts me as one of His adversaries. [12]His troops come together and cast up their way and siege works against me and encamp round about my tent. [13]He has put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintances are wholly estranged from me. [14]My kinsfolk have failed me, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. [15]Those who live temporarily in my house and my maids count me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight. [16]I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer, though I beseech him with words. [17]I am repulsive to my wife and loathsome to the children of my own mother. [18]Even young children despise me; when I get up, they speak against me. [19]All the men of my council and my familiar friends abhor me; those whom I loved are turned against me. [20]My bone clings to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped with the skin or gums of my teeth. [21]Have pity on me! Have pity on me, O you my friends, for the hand of God has touched me! [22]Why do you, as if you were God, pursue and persecute me? [Acting like wild beasts] why are you not satisfied with my flesh? [23]Oh, that the words I now speak were written! Oh, that they were inscribed in a book [carved on a tablet of stone]! [24]That with an iron pen and [molten] lead they were graven in the rock forever! [25]For I know that my Redeemer and Vindicator lives, and at last He [the Last One] will stand upon the earth. [Isa. 44:6; 48:12.] [26]And after my skin, even this body, has been destroyed, then from my flesh or without it I shall see God, [27]Whom I, even I, shall see for myself and on my side! And my eyes shall behold Him, and not as a stranger! My heart pines away and is consumed within me. [28]If you say, How we will pursue him! [and continue to persecute me with the claim] that the root [cause] of all these [afflictions] is found in me, [29]Then beware and be afraid of the sword [of divine vengeance], for wrathful are the punishments of that sword, that you may know there is a judgment.

Supernatural Woman, Rosina Akinola is the founder of Save Our Families Incorporated non-profit organization for families who have lost loved ones due to violence. We are taking back our joy, by the Blood of Jesus. My oldest son Sidney Maurice Jackson Jr. was robbed and murdered on November 21, 2015. He was 19 years old, 6 months away for getting his Associates Degree in Business Management. He was also a new father, who was gunned down one day before his son Jaiden turned one month old November 22, 2015. Sidney was taken from us two days before my 37th birthday November 23rd. Sidney made one bad choice, which, cost him his life. I didnโ€™t find out until he was dead and gone. And by that time it was too late and I didnโ€™t want to hear it. Knoxville, Tennessee is a small city that is dying slowly. This city has lost so many young men and women due to senseless violence. There are so many families hurting as a whole. No one ever realizes that the mothers arenโ€™t the only ones hurting. The Fathers, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends hurt as well. But, everyone grieves differently, because of their own personal relationship with the deceased loved one. But, most of all our youth hurt the most. They do not know how to handle grief at all. Weโ€™ve got to be more careful, when it comes to them. They will become severely depressed right in front of your eyes without you knowing it. How can I say this? Well, itโ€™s because it happened to me. I was so wrapped up in the loss of Sidney, two months to the date January 21, 2016 I almost lost my only daughter to suicide. I had to learn the hard way. Iโ€™m trying to prevent other families, from experiencing the same things my family has experienced. I want to be the voice for the mothers who are hurting too badly to SPEAK UP and SPEAK OUT. Iโ€™m trying to help families stay together and support each other. So, many families fall apart after the loss of a family member, especially a child. The Lord is my strengthโ€ฆ
