THE ROD OF CORRECTION

You have heard the old saying, “Spare the rod, and spoil the child.” It is based largely on the scripture found in Proverbs 13:24 which says, “He that spareth his rod hateth his son. But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.”

The Amplified Version reads more clearly. “He who withholds the rod [of discipline] hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines and trains him diligently and appropriately [with wisdom and love].”

The worst thing a parent can do to a child is to simply let the child do whatever he wishes with no guidance or correction. They may even say “I want him (her) to make his own choices.” However, a child does not have enough life experience to always make the best choices. This often leads to a lot of trouble in their life. It is one of the most unloving things a parent can do.

Another mistake is to give a child everything he wants all the time with no limits and no expectations. That leads to a spoiled and selfish child and adult.

Discipline should not be overly harsh. It should be done with love and wisdom. Spanking is not child abuse as present-day liberals and government agencies claim. It is only abusive when done harshly in anger. Use wisdom and moderation. Make sure they understand the issue. Talk to them and counsel them as the punishment is being administered.

God also punishes (chastens) his children to bring correction. Hebrews 12:6 says, “For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth. And scourgeth (whips, spanks) every son he receiveth.” Proverbs 3:12 says, “For whom the Lord loveth He correcteth. Even as a father (to) the son in whom he delighteth (loves).”

CRUCIFYING THE FLESH

It was after the Passover meal. Jesus took the disciples to the Garden of Gethsemane and had Peter, James and John go with him to pray. In Matthew 26:37 we see how sorrowful a time it was for the Lord. It says, “Then saith he unto them, ‘My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.’”

Jesus knew his fate. He spent time with the Father in prayer and knew his destiny. Yet, it was a surrendered will that would bring him to the place of crucifixion. Three times he asked the Father if it was His will to remove the cup from which he would drink. That cup, of course, was the cup of death. Jesus won his battle in the garden when he surrendered his will to the Father’s will.

There are many times in our life’s journey that we will be faced with decisions that are very hard. We become sorrowful over what we know we will go through. This is when we walk in the spirit and not the flesh. We put our mind and our flesh to death, figuratively. We say no to its desires and yes to God’s desires.

The Lord knows how hard this is because he faced it too. Imagine, Jesus, all God, and all man, asking for that cup to be removed. His friend had betrayed him, his closest friends slept. He was alone in making this decision. He even told them in Mark 14:38, “Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready (willing), but the flesh is weak.”

The closer we want to walk with the Lord, the more surrendering will take place. Some will have to give up friends that would hinder you in your intimate relationship with the Lord. Others will find the loneliness and isolation that comes with saying, “thy will, not mine, Lord.” Yet, there is no greater place to be than in that close personal intimate relationship with God.

Crucifying of the flesh must take place to get to that place. Many may desire it, but they are not willing to pay the price. I pray that you will because that is the best choice you can ever make.

A PROPHETIC WORD

AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS

Do you feel my breath child? I am here and breathing upon you. I am the breath of life that will sustain you in this hour. For as I breathed on Adam of old and the breath of life came into him, I am breathing upon you also. For as I walked with Adam in the cool of the day and the wind was on his face, it was me. I brought the cool refreshment of my spirit upon his face. Oh, how I loved those times with Adam until we were separated by rebellion. Oh, my child, I want that relationship with you. As you come into the secret place and put aside all noise and all fear, and spend time with me, you shall feel my breath upon you. It will cause you to not only be refreshed in spirit, but it will also renew you in your body. I see that your body is weary and that you need my breath upon it. So quiet yourself, and just sit with me. As a lover would sit with the one he loves, I desire that you sit with me. Let me touch you with my breath and let you know that I am here and will never leave you. For my breath is not only upon you, but also in you, bringing the very life of your existence to its fulness. There have been many distractions that would pull you away from me, but in the quiet place is where you will find your peace. So, let me breathe upon you and bring my life into you so that you will be stronger than ever. Then, when you leave this place of restoration you shall go forth stronger than ever before. Just come aside now and feel my breath for I am waiting saith the Lord.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

1-11-2024

We know from reading the accounts of David in the Bible; That he didn’t look as if he had a lot going for him. David was an underdog, a nobody from nowhere, he was a Hebrew hillbilly, rejected by his Daddy, and was put down and made fun of by his brothers. However, in spite of where David had been or what he’d endured; It was obvious that none of it kept him from going to…THE TOP. Now we know from Biblical history that David went on to do many great things in his life. Yes, he was one of the most famous kings of his day; Along with being noted among the very greatest military strategist of all times. Indeed David’s occupation went all the way from being a worshiping shepherd boy…To becoming an envied and well known Godly King. Now I’m sure that little “runt of a backwoods country boy” shocked everyone for miles around. No doubt it caught all of their attention when David really had a big address change; As he went from the pasture…To The Palace. Yes, it’s true, David was known to be an adulterer and even a murderer; But through it all he never one time allowed his past…To dictate his future. In fact, in the end David was remembered as a man after God's own heart. (I Samuel 13:14 and Acts 13:22). So today, you too can look up from that desolate place you’ve been in; And as you do just know this one thing…IF David overcame all those obstacles in his life...Then with God’s help…You can do it as well. You see the only thing that made David stand out from all the others; Causing him to go on to become such a great man of God was simply because…David remained patient in difficult times, he had a teachable spirit...And he always had a repentant heart before God. Just remember that; While people judge you by what they see, where you’ve been or what you may or may have not done; God looks at your heart. (I Samuel 16:7)

INTERCESSOR - SEER

Snowflakes dancing across the sky, glistening and sparkling in the sunlight as they gently fall to earth to blanket the frozen ground. Illuminated like diamonds they dance across the sky to show forth the Glory of Your creation.

Delicate and fragile they are treasures from heaven just like us. Beautifully created they are vulnerable to the ways of the earth. When they fall as a single snowflake they are short lived. But if they fall in a group, they continue with staying power.

Aren't we just like that? When we try to go it alone we are short lived. But when joined together, we become a force to be reckoned with.
