We are walking in today: Chastisement, God's Divine Discipline.
Hebrews 12:5-8 5) And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: 6) For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7) If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8) But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Whom the Lord loves, He chastens, whether it is an individual, a city or community, or a nation. When God is silent, be careful not to complain. He will chastens those whom He loves. Chastisement of individuals is for believers only. God's discipline is based on love, and when a believer is out of fellowship--discipline is aimed at only one thing, to get the believer to acknowledge his sin to God, to confess in order to be restored to fellowship. Hebrews 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. Suffering may well be part of the chastisement, and confession does not remove the suffering. However, when suffering continues after the believer has been restored to fellowship, the cursing is turned to blessings; that is, the suffering is for a positive purpose. Divine discipline is designed to restrain us from sin and to teach us lessons which will result in growth. Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Hebrews 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. God disciplined the nation of Israel in order to keep them in line with His purity, and to make them stay the course. The example of Israel however, illustrates the grave tendency for believers to get distracted and off track. It's a glorious picture of the unwillingness of God to violate the free will of man. We have no real answers as to why God must work so hard at discipline--especially when a simple snap of His fingers could bring all creation into perfect obedience and holiness. What is chastisement? There are two meanings in the scripture for the word: one is punishment, and the other is discipline. Discipline is not punishment. Punishment does not have the objective of correcting or teaching, but retribution. We can not just pick and choose which meaning we want to use. 1 Corinthians 11:30-32 30) For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31) For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32) But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. All of that whining and complaining will put you into chastisement. You don't want an whipping from God! We often conclude sickness to be merely a physical problem and to have no relation to God's righteousness, holiness, or judgment. Illness is frequently the chastisement of God employed to draw our attention to some sin overlooked so that we may forsake it. James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Each time a believer is chastened by God and becomes sick he is open to great blessing, for the Father of spirits, disciplines us for our good--that we may share His holiness. Sickness prompts us to recollect and examine the past as to whether there is hidden sin or self-will. Then and there can we detect if any barrier exists between us and God. Chastisement is God's divine discipline!!!! Nevertheless not my will!!! I won't complain!!! AMEN!!!
Tell God, "I won't complain!" We come to see that all of that complaint leads to divine discipline. He has been providing for us, day after day. It is He that has provided for us in the wilderness: He turned bitter water sweet. Keep peace in your mind, keep your mind stayed on Him!! Get focused, fiveamprayer, that whining and complaining...do you really want something to cry about?! Just like in the natural, children are told to stop crying before they get something to cry about. Praise Him!! Bless the Lord!! Worship the Lord--Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Only unto Him who brings us out, who pours out blessings. We have been warned, you don't want a Holy Ghost whipping. Repent from unbelief and disobedience. Fiveamprayer, we shall hold on to believe to see!! Keep bringing us out Lord! We will stop wondering around in out confusion and complaint. We will hold to Your word and sit and be still when You say. Fiveamprayer we need to take a time out before we go too far. Shake yourself and do a self check. Are you out of order? Go get back in line, line up with the word. Ask God to show you where are you off track, make the necessary changes to seal up any openings of where the devil is getting in. Re-focus on the holy God of eternity. He makes all things possible. Who else can deliver you out? Redeem and restore such a stiff necked people?? Fiveamprayer, we have got to get us some act right!! We have been out of order for so long, now it has to be addressed. Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. We don't have the option to continue in disobedience with the knowledge of what is required of us. Just like children who continue to try to have things there way, in spite of warnings, the next step--chastisement. We must heed what God wants of us. How He directs us into the good and right way. Some of us have been whipped by God before. He is letting us know, He is God all by Himself. Hold your peace--God is bringing us out. Thank You Lord, You get gooder and gooder. He is tired of the murmuring and complaint. He created the world and gave it to man to have dominion over the earth, before the fall. Then we have the nerve to mummer against God while He is blessing, redeeming and keeping us. How out of order is that?!! We have to get back in line with God in all areas!! What reason do we have to complain? Has He not provided all of our needs? Has He not kept us? There are so many other things that would beset us if it were not for Him. Hold on to the truth. Let go of the lies. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. So why freak out, be worried and look for other options?! All things!! Give Him the glory!! He is worthy to be praised!! Look how patient He is with us!! Thank You Lord!! Stop having a pity party--Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Have you tried Jesus lately? He supplies all of our needs. Don't get out of order or position. Don't get into self. He is gracious, He has given us free will. Be careful not to complain, nor concerned--complaint's little cousin. You don't want to have God give you a spanking!! Don't hang up from this call and get into doubt and fear. Someone was up early this morning, trying to get the numbers to add up. The problems is that God does not add, He multiplies. Show your trust in Him and let Him do the math. Let it go---your only answer is to look to the Lord. He will show you the way out and provide for you. This is the same God that pours out blessings to overflow in our life. Stay under the word!! Stay lined up, walking by faith not by sight. Lord we ask You to increase our spiritual sight, casting off what we see in the natural. Many of the things in the natural are to distract us from His word. Fiveamprayer, you can choose to keep on murmuring and then God will give you a reason to complain and cry. Trust God, be at peace. Rest in His arms. Thank You Lord, You come with a real word this morning. Test, trials and tribulations--eviction notice, overdue bills--believers are asking where is my return? We need to refocus: fast, pray and call on prayer warriors to stand with you in prayer. Don't worry about your account being over drawn--keep yourself aligned with God. He is the one who delivers us out, not out bank accounts. Don't complain--stay the course. He is the God of the encore. He gave us a guarantee. Stop complaining or receive divine discipline. He will give you something to really cry about. So many of us--believers are spoiled! You are not in control--God is. Proverbs 13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. Just like in the natural, children have to learn who is in control. Now it is our turn. Keep walking as God directs. You are protected and lead by the Almighty! Taste and see that the Lord is good! God gets gooder and gooder. Put on the whole armor of God--keep on murmuring, the Holy Ghost spanking is on the way Sometimes it isn't about looking around to see who it is, maybe it is you. Take a look in the mirror and recognize that you could be the problem. Fiveamprayer, get to work! Many of us are in need of desperate repair. If you don't God will make the necessary corrections!! Stop being in doubt, fear and worry. It is time to talk back to the devil or take God's discipline. He has given us the power of life and death in our tongues--what are we speaking? Are we in agreement with the devil or God?! By our actions and deeds who are we walking with?! Trust God, His grace is sufficient. We lift up fiveamprayer this morning, have them to walk without complaint. You know what we stand in the need of. This is not the time to panic but to sit back and behold the glory of our God! We lift up prayer requests, those known and unknown. We ask for healing for Amy Conover, by Your stripes she was healed. You are the great Physician, on earth these physicians are just practicing. We ask for forgiveness for not being obedient to Your word. We don't want the whipping, God. Thank You for forgiving us with no condemnation. We wake up to new mercies every morning. We must repent and confess of our wrongs. We are also to forgive others to be forgiven. Or else receive divine discipline from the Lord.

We write in the precious blood: 1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
Welcome to the overflow...
Why are you complaining?! Every prayer sent up will be granted. Chastisement--God's divine discipline. We are to count it all joy when you fall into trials, not complaint. The joy of the Lord is our strength. Speak His word in your situation. Put His word above your situations, because it has the authority to deliver and bless you. Bring His word back to Him. He loves to see us stand on His word trusting Him. That is what this is all about--will we trust Him no matter what. He has not deserved our mistrust. We put so much stock into things that fail us time and time again. Why not put your trust where you will never be put to shame. Psalm 119:31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. He has not given us the spirit of fear--walk in your God given abilities. Faith, trusting in His word. We know that no weapon formed against us shall prosper!! Speak those things, as though they are, not as they appear in the natural. We are looking for increase, 1000 fold return! Don't sit there and murmuring and complaining. Or you will get a whipping. You know when the kids are acting up, you give them 'the look'. Letting them know that they are getting close to you getting the belt. Well, fiveamprayer, God is giving us that look. Get it together!! Stop freaking out--trust Him. We can speak His word with holy boldness. He gives us peace that surpasses all understanding. Joy unspeakable in His presence. We have to encourage ourselves. This is breakthrough and harvest time!! Blessings are about to be pouring out and we are in complaint while He is sending the latter rain!? We have some things in our lives that are impossible. Great! We serve a God that make the impossible, possible. Shout glory to His name!! To God be the Glory for the things that He has done! In unity, God commands the blessing. We will trust You, Lord. We will stay in the race. He is bringing us out. Give Him some praise!! Life and death are in the power of the tongue. He makes the crooked places straight. Breakthrough is on the way!! It shall come to pass! Believe to see it. We are coming out of the fire, not smelling of smoke. Give God some praise!! We have asked Him to enlarge our territory. We are at the edge of our breakthrough. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, get in the word--stay in the word. This not the time to change teams!! God gets gooder and gooder. How are so many believers walking around with their heads down? We have the victory by the blood of Christ Jesus! We are not of this world, why does it concern us. We must keep our focus on heavenly things--spiritual things of God. We serve a no limit God, take God out of the box. He is beyond what we could think or understand. We have to get it together, no more complaint or miss-stepping. This is for all believers, from the pulpit to the greeters at the door and everyone in between. Get your talk right, speak His word. Hold to His word. Quote the scriptures correctly and really walk in them!! Thank You God for coming to tell us to stop the complaining and letting us know our consequence if we don't chose to listen!! Praise His name!
