DO NOT COMPLAIN 11-10-23 VIDEO PEOPLE THANKING AT THE CROSS 3
Complain means to expressed dissatisfaction in someone or something using the words of your mouth. A complainer means one who is discontented with his lot in life. Complaining will make ineffectual the word of God for you that you were standing on. Moses complain to God not to man. God heard his complaint.
When Jesus shares about His blood and communion many left and complained about His teachings. David starts off with complains but find something better and that’s praising God.

13 Where am I supposed to get meat for all these people who are whining to me, ‘Give us meat; we want meat.’
14 I can’t do this by myself — it’s too much, all these people.
15 If this is how you intend to treat me, do me a favor and kill me. I’ve seen enough; I’ve had enough. Let me out of here.” MSG

63 It is the Spirit Who gives life [He is the Life-giver]; the flesh conveys no benefit whatever [there is no profit in it]. The words (truths) that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life. AMP

JN 6:61 Jesus perceived what they were murmuring about and said, So you take offence at this?
62 What if you see the son of man [representing the human race] ascending to where he was before?
63 It is the Spirit that quickens the poetry of life – the flesh (muscle and willpower) is useless without the spirit. The words that I speak unto you they are spirit and life! I communicate from a different dimension and perspective giving voice and substance to every prophetic shadow and purpose. MIRROR

4 My heart is smitten like grass and withered, so that [in absorption] I forget to eat my food.
5 By reason of my loud groaning [from suffering and trouble] my flesh cleaves to my bones.
6 I am like a melancholy pelican or vulture of the wilderness; I am like a [desolate] owl of the waste places.
7 I am sleepless and lie awake [mourning], like a bereaved sparrow alone on the housetop. AMP

1 Cor 10:10 We must be careful not to stir up discontent; discontent destroyed them.

12 Don’t be so naive and self-confident. You’re not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it’s useless. Cultivate God-confidence. MSG
