Sometimes chastening seems hard, because your flesh wants to hear flattering words. You want to hear someone say, God understands and loves you and will help you. Which is true but, He sends his word to help you. And it don't flatter, it speaks the truth. You must obey and apply it to your life for it to work..Do you flatter when you are trying to train your child, from the diapers. You may give them a sucker when they do well. Same way God does, he gives you a blessing, when you try..You are doing it in love, not hate, for you are doing the best for that child. The hardest part is getting them to obey you..That is what the hard word is trying to do, it is to shield you from all the flurstations of life. He is wanting you to find that rest in him. To where he will carry all your burdens, instead of you carrying them. For you cannot carry them, you will fall under the load..For that is why he died on the cross, and sent back his Spirit. To be a comforter, leader, guide. It teaches us how to weather the storms in him, not trying to do it in our flesh.
We start out well, saved filled with God's love. Loving, everybody, wanting all to be saved, you find no fault with no one, will worship everywhere any where. No respect of persons. All is the same to you, black, white, brown, red, yellow. You have just gotten saved and filled with his love. Which is awesome and cannot find words to describe his love.
Then usually the church world (religion)..begans to mold and teach you and will confine you to their four walls of the church tradition(prison)..they don't teach you how to find that hiding place and stay safe and secure from all the vicious wolves, that are out to devire and destroy you, with absolutely no mercy. You began to get slowful and lose your first love, your load and way becomes hard. You are starving to death in the dead church, which has no joy, love, peace, burden for souls. But they are stone faced, no smile, mean looking, their miserable, tormented, burdened down, sad, you name it they have it. Their burden for the lost is gone, all they do is teach their doctrines and sing Lord help me make it through. They become like a statue all painted up, with their long robes, and their set of rules a mile long. Some of the most vicious people that I have ever meet has been in these religious churches. They look at you like they could kill you if you don't abide by their church traditions. You soon become just like them, you start judging, condemning, become luke warm, lose your love & vision. You go in err and become stagnant, like an old frog pond covered over with green. You're good for nothing in the Kingdom of God. All you do is carry a ball bat to kill everyone you see, that don't abide by your church and your preachers rules. Man made traditions that make, the word of God of none effect.
I can understand why some turns to the churches where they allow anything to go, intertainment, games, dead letter, they don't have the anointing and neither do you. So at least they are good friendly people that will treat you like you are somebody, instead of a dog. They make you feel like you are a part of their family. They are kind, thoughtful, outgoing. They go partly naked, but Hey this seems better, than the self righteous bunch that has, beaten you to death with their ball bats, having all that long hair and long dresses. So maybe God don't care for us to go partly naked..You have become so discouraged under them, that anything seems good to you. For you have a LOVING HEART THAT WANTS TO SERVE GOD...how do I know, because I been down that road. I don't know many roads that I have not been down.
But beloved children of God. Neither one of these roads are right.
THE RIGHT ROAD IS..Go way back and find your first love. The anointing of God will come back in your life. Turning around and doing your first works over. Drawing nigh to him and he will draw nigh to you..And go real slow this time. Allowing God to lead, guide, convict your heart, if you are doing anything wrong. If your clothes, hair, makeup, jewelery, what ever don't please God he, will let you know, it's between you and him, not people. It's a personal relationship, a marriage. You and Christ, it is holy and sacred, don't allow people in your marriage. I don't allow them in my marriage nor, in my marriage with Jesus. They are both personal, no one elses business..If He don't condemn you, forget people. Work out your on salvation with fear and trembling. Refuse to go any direction, until first you seek the Lord about it. Keeping your love & relationship with God, this time, making sure you keep Him first in your life. Guarding it with your life, allowing nothing to come between you and him. Just like a natural marriage. Keeping your joy, love, peace, etc. If you notice & feel something is trying to take it. You notice you don't feel so peaceful, joyful, then run to your prayer closet and start praying. Allowing the Holy Ghost to remove what ever is coming again you and your husband (Jesus). Planting, discord, wrong feelings, making you not want to talk, (pray) to your husband (Jesus) just like a natural marriage..You must learn to fight, by praying through, until you can once again feel you joy, peace come back, nothing between you and your husband (Jesus)..You have a loving relationship again. People get jealeous when you have a perfect loving marriage in the natural. They want to cause trouble, because they have a rotten marriage. They do the same in the church world. They become jealeous if you have a loving relationship with Jesus, carrying his anointing. They will sow discord, deceit, envy, strife, busybody, through the church and people..what ever they can do to spoil that love you have..BE ALERT, WATCH..don't go to sleep... don't allow them to spoil your marriage with Jesus or your husband.
I know people probably get tired and weary of hearing me preach this. But to me 99 percent of the people are in this condition. We are surely in the, LAODICEAN CHURCH AGE..Rev.3:14..
If you are chosen of God, he has got to get you too, come out of her my people and be not partakers of her sins..Harlot Churches.. And be conformed into his image. Which is not religious (tradition)long robes, nor half naked worldly churches. But it is the CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD..where you are clothed with his righteousness, which is by faith, not works. And walking in his Spirit..Gal.I live yet not I, but I live by the faith of the son of God. Keeping your FIRST LOVE A MUST..without it you are a sounding brass and a tinkling symbol..I can listen to someone preach and just in a few seconds and can tell, whether they have their first love. For I want to hold my ears, to the sounding brass and tinkling symbols, even if they are preaching the right things..Some want to hold on to Jesus with one hand and the world with the other hand.. You have got to let one go. For you cannot serve God and mammon.. For God is a jealeous husband and if you let anything come between you and him it is spiritual adultery..
