THERE ARE NO SPOILED BRATS IN MY KINGDOM
Have you ever been exposed to a
child that has never been corrected, or experienced a spanking? If you have, you
seldom forget it, because the encounter is usually quite nerve shattering! Far
worse, have you ever encountered an adult that has never experienced childhood
discipline? All such relationships are short lived at best. An undisciplined
child is a child without a meaningful future, a lonely child and one that does
not know parental love.
Have you ever encountered undisciplined believers
that refuse My correction? They are no fun to be around! Every massage they
hear, must agree with their behavior, or they throw a fit and leave. They hate 3
words; submission, authority, and repent. These are kingdom life giving and
lifesaving words of love. "All those whom I love I chasten, and I spank every
son, sometime during his lifetime. Hebrews 12:6 When I spank you are simply
being judged with mercy, so that you won't be condemned with the world and go to
hell." 1 Corinthians 11:32
If ye endure chastening, Be happy because I am
dealing with you like a son or daughter; for what kind of son is he that the
father never disciplines? [8] If you grow up without being disciplined, like the
rest of My children, you will turn out to be a bastard, and not My son. Hebrews
12:7,8 If you keep running from shepherd to shepherd every time I try to correct
you, you will never be disciplined enough to fit into a body. It's time to grow
up and be a man, face it, no chastening for the present seems to be joyous,
because it hurts: nevertheless afterward it yields great benefits, including the
peaceable fruit of righteousness. [12] So come on and lift up your hands which
hang down, and strengthen those feeble knees; [13] so I can make straight paths
for your feet. Undisciplined believers are spiritually lame and will be turned
away; wouldn't you rather be disciplined and healed, by Me? Hebrews 12:9-11
Spoiled brats are trouble makers in society, in the family, and the
church. They are an enemy of unity, and cause division, disruption, and disaster
where ever they go. At first "they have a zeal of God, but not according to
knowledge. [3] For they being ignorant of My righteousness, go about to
establish their own righteousness, because they have not submitted themselves
unto My righteousness." Romans 10:2-3 This causes the trouble!
Trust Me,
work with Me and let Me discipline your selfish nature, and when I return you
will receive a crown of glory that does not fade away. [5] Likewise, you younger
ones, submit yourselves unto the older believers. Yes, and all of you be subject
one to another, and be clothed with humility: for I resist the proud, but I give
grace to the humble. [6] Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of
God, that he may exalt you in due time: 1 Peter 5:4-6. Always keep in mind there
are no spoiled brats in My kingdom!
