What Does Chastisement Clearly Prove?

ARE YOU IN THE LOVE OF GOD?

DO YOU KNOW IF HE LOVES YOU?

GOT PROOF?

I DO!!!!!

Proof of God’s Love!

Let’s answer these important questions, yet first we must understand that…

First, we must know that God loves us and proved His love for us by sending His only begotten Son to be crucified, buried and raised again for our justification (John 3:16).

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.” 1 John 4:9

The Love of God Manifested after He Saves Us

If we don’t accept and humble ourselves and obey the correction, chastening, and rebukes of the LORD, it’s due to loving darkness rather than light. This would mean that one is unrepentant, and not enduring sound doctrine. If this is the case in your life, dear friend, you are in need of true repentance (Proverbs 27:5-6; 2 Timothy 4:2-4; Revelation 3:19).

The “love” being taught in the apostate modern church world is a false love. “Love” that doesn’t include chastisement and rebuke is false love.

A vital component of divine love is training, rebuking, correcting, admonishing, and chastening.

“My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: 12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.” Proverbs 3:11-12

Many today have no clue as to God’s love. Many are following “another Jesus” (2 Corinthians 11:4). What does Proverbs 27:5-6 tell us about God’s love?

“Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Proverbs 27:5-6

Divine LOVE is defined from Genesis to Revelation and is not always manifested in a soft, comforting fashion. Some call the deceitful coddling and kissing of sin “love” but that’s a false love. Some want to make themselves nicer than the Son of God yet they are deceitfully giving out “the kisses of an enemy” when true love would should when appropriate render a “rebuke.” Jesus, who “is love,” told the false religionists of His day that they were going to hell (Matthew 23) and warned His own people: “As many as I love I rebuke and chasten, be zealous therefore and repent.” (Revelation 3:19) Love is defined by He who “is love” and not by mere sinful men who who prove they are counterfeit tares by the fact that they seek to justify their own sin and the sin of others (1 John 4:8, 16).

One of the ways God corrects, changes us, is through bless-ed rebukes.

“The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.” Proverbs 20:20

Sometimes we need wounding unto life. It produces needed healing, wholeness (Proverbs 27:5-6).

“She obeyed not.. she received not correction”

“She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.” Zephaniah 3:2

When God’s people were in sin, were in rebellion to Him, they refused to humble themselves and be corrected by the LORD. Read Isaiah 1.

Beware of the large false “love” movement.

Amidst all the false “love” being peddled today by the wolves pretending to represent Christ, it’s imperative that we learn what true love is from our Source, the Word of our God – who alone “is love.” (1 John 4:8, 16)

“For the commandment (written Word) is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:” Proverbs 6:23

Being taught, chastened, and corrected by our LORD is “the way of life” for all who are Christ’s disciples. Jesus is in control, not us. Without Him we can do nothing (John 15:5).

“Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. 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 (without a father), and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 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. 12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. 14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” Hebrews 12:4-14

The LORD’s chastening in the life of one of His children only proves His love for them – that He is making them holy as He is holy, so they are fit for His eternal kingdom!

Who does the LORD specifically say He loves? What does the Father do to those He loves?

“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” Revelation 3:19

If you are going through a time of the chastening of your heavenly Father, rejoice that His chastisement upon your life only proves you know Him. Also, be aware of His workings and chastisements and rebukes of others around you who are imperfect just as you are imperfect. Dare not we cast a stone of condemnation their way!

Remember, this is not about YOU. The kingdom of Christ is about HIM, not you. You must be crucified with Christ so Christ reigns in your life (Colossians 3:3; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; etc.). When the LORD issues a rebuke to someone, it is out of His love and mercy – to restore them (Gal. 6:1-2; Heb. 12:5-11). Those who do not warn are not walking in God’s love at all. Warning is for protection. Again….. What’s “Better”?

“Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Proverbs 27:5-6

“Open rebuke is better than secret love.” -Are you hiding God’s love? Notice “secret love” – We hide, we hold back, we cheat people out of a huge blessing when we don’t appropriately “rebuke” them as God leads and in His love!

ACCORDING to Proverbs 27:5-6, deceivers among us coddle or kiss people in their sins. This is exactly what the false prophets have always done (Jeremiah 23:17, 22, etc.).

Brother TJ captures some things concerning how we treat others in their suffering and chastisements:

“Jesus be praised! I find it almost comical at this point in my walk with Christ how so many are actually offended by Him. I love how Paul said many times to ‘not be ashamed of his chains.’ Interesting how so many in these last days are ashamed or offended by those servants of Christ who are in ‘bondage’ to the Lord Jesus through various trials, tribulations, struggles, chastisings, etc., at His very hands. Just as Christ’s original apostles couldn’t stay wake with Him in the Garden; and scattered at His imprisonment…even after He forewarned them, etc. You see, the devil has spewed his doctrines, and has beguiled the Church…As Jesus and Paul expressed not to look down, or be ashamed, of such servants; but instead to ‘share’ ‘encourage’ ‘exhort’ ‘strengthen,’ etc., such brethren. Way too many scriptural examples to use for supporting one in need for Christ’s sake. Why else did Paul say that when he was on trial, no one came to his defense? Exactly!” TJ

Powerfully Used of God: A Vessel Unto Honour [video]

Getting in on the Gospel action begins with a simple prayer, perhaps something like this …. LORD, please prepare and use me for Your glory. In Jesus’ Name, amen. The man called out to serve the LORD must go through seasons of rigorous purgings, strippings, and persecution. This is seen in the lives of many of the patriarchs, prophets, and apostles. “If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.” 2 Timothy 2:21 There’s no such thing as a “vessel unto […]

Attend to My Words [podcast]

IF THE WORD isn’t flowing into you daily, you are falling away. Flood and fuel your heart and mind and body with the pure, the holy light of God’s Word daily and you will never famish! All darkness will be vanquished (Psalms 119:130). All who have been saved and yet aren’t in God’s Word and prayer daily – have rejected Christ, with no exception. Re-turn to the LORD prodigal. There’s no good outside of Christ the KING.

“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130

ALL who are not in God’s written Word daily are not hearing from God, do not have God’s wisdom and direction, and are walking in darkness – 100%.

The feeding of Christ’s flock would integrally involve exhorting them to diligently study and walk in God’s Word themselves, daily (John 21:15-17). Isn’t this exactly what the apostle Paul told Timothy to do? Yes. He told his understudy to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)

One of the ways we know who the false ministers are, is that they want people dependent on THEM, not God. So, they don’t constantly exhort the people to get into God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures, for themselves. Run.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8

“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. … My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:4, 20-23

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

“Over the last 5-10 years I can see where He has done this for me already, but the problem is …. it’s not enough! I want even more! One hour of study and prayer in the morning is not enough!” Christine

Gathering Fruit for Christ’s Eternal Glory [podcast]

IF you are truly born again, God has called you personally to participate in, to obey His Great Commission command— NOT to salvage any country in this fleeting world.

It’s amazing how many people claiming to be saved spend more time, energy, and money trying to save America than they do building up the body of Christ and evangelizing the lost. Anyone claiming to be saved and yet is not participating in the Great Commission command of Christ, is out of the will of God. Repentance needed.

Save America or See Jesus Save Eternal Souls?

“America is under God’s judgment for sure. And recently there was a golden statue made of Trump. And Pastors are praying over it. A golden calf. Same thing happened in the book of Exodus and God slew 3,000 men. This angers Him greatly! There will be a severe price to pay for this adultery! America is definitely going down at the divine judgment of God.” Karen Cochran

Forget saving America. Win souls. Preach the original Gospel to see eternal souls saved unto the LORD. See Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20.

A good thing to ask proud Americans who claim they are Christians:

1. “When’s the last time you led someone to Jesus?”

2. “How much time and how much energy do you spend trying in vain to “save America” or “Make America Great Again” compared to the time and energy you spend learning, studying, and meditating on God’s Word and doing it – as in the Great Commission?”

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

Anyone claiming to be Christ’s and yet is not doing, is not obeying His Great Commission mandate, is not in the will of God.

Regrettably, America is going down in judgment.

No efforts can undo the present reality of those claiming to know Christ refusing to truly repent, nor the 60 million innocent babies America has murdered in cold blood and called it “choice.”

Honoring something God calls “an abomination” brings “the curse of the LORD” upon any nation to do such. See Leviticus 18:22 and Proverbs 3:33. Sodomy is sin!

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

Doing the will of the Father is executing the Great Commission Jesus gave us!

2 BIBLICAL EVIDENCES PROVE THAT AMERICA IS OVER – if there is no repentance, change [podcast]

“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.” John 4:35-38

Jesus says act now! To put off His work is to put off Christ. Read that again!

“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62

Many aren’t putting off their own sinful, lust-filled agenda in the world, right?

There is nothing new under the sun. See the book of Haggai.

WHAT House are You Helping to Build? Jesus says “I will build my church (people, not physical buildings or the church/religious organizations of men)” (Matthew 16:18-19). Jesus promised “I will build my church” and He’s doing it today through those few laborers He instructed us to pray that the Father would send forth (Matthew 16:18; 9:35-38). Are you participating? They are known by the relentless teaching of the “sound doctrine” of God’s pure Word and the refusal to build up anything but the name of Jesus and His beloved people. “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and […]

And there’s no talk about concern to right this wrong. There is clearly no repentance. Yes trump is a better choice and yet God is holy and just and judgment is coming.

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee [podcast]

Here’s why Jesus came:

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3

There is nothing – NO-THING – more important in your life than your relationship with Christ.

Job 22

“Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. 22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. 23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. 24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. 25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. 26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. 27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. 28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. 29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. 30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent; and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.” Job 22:21-30

“lay up his words in thine heart” v22 – WITH the learning of each new verse of Holy Scripture, each new Bible truth, your knowledge and understanding of the LORD and His kingdom is expanded.

“Let thine heart retain my words.” Proverbs 4:4

“I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. 97 MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.” Psalms 119:96-100

The Divine Attributes [podcast]

In their unrepentant, darkness-loving hearts, many today have created a false god in their own sinful image. Jesus told us that evil “men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” (John 3:19-21) They choose to look only at the goodness, grace, mercy, and love of God while intentionally refusing to acknowledge that the LORD is “Holy, holy, holy” and that “The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth.” (Psalms 9:16-17; Romans 11:22; Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8, etc.). Just as the Holy Spirit warned us, these same counterfeits have also “heaped to themselves”, or set […]

Moved by the fear of the LORD, his allegiance and the affections of his heart will then begin to ascend to the “glorious high throne from the beginning” which “is the place of our sanctuary” (Jer. 17:12). “While we look not at the things which are seen, […]
