Discipline. I believe God uses minimum force. Why Do I believe this?
Well, because I know he is fair, and just. It’s hard to give a teaching based on one scripture, or even two. See, many want me to prove (chapter and verse) where I found out what I am saying. Saying I am “Holy Spirit taught” is just far too scary for many, because how do you know I’m not a nut job, posing as a Christian?
Well, I’ll tell you, because what I am about to say, is going to make sense, it is true, it is Just and, it’s full of Mercy. (All Attributes of God, by the way!).
I learned this, from Him!
As I was saying, Discipline should be fair, and just, for God himself is exactly this way.
So sorry, don’t care what scripture you just “pulled out of your hat” As I know God doesn’t misuse his word either, so he can try to abuse us, or put one over on us, or anything like that. He isn’t into “scare tactics” He does not wish to be “shrouded in mystery” either!
A fair person gives fair warning. (to the individual at hand), and they also take into consideration, any valid reasons, as to why the person cannot seem to cooperate.
So he (God) is the perfect Father (in other words!) He knows what grade level you are at, what you are capable of, what you are not capable of. He knows of your excuses, he knows if you are ill (for real) you can’t pull the wool over him (or his eyes) ever!
IF he is dealing with you, and you cry uncle (and truly mean it) He knows if that is sincere (or not). Do you see why nobody, (and I do mean nobody) can really make the best decisions, or judgement, for your life other than God himself?
so if someone was too hard on you, unfair, judged you too severely (or whatever the case may be) commit yourself, into the hands of the one who Judges justly! It may not be today (or tomorrow) but I can promise you he will bring fairness, equity, and peace!
One of the names of Jesus is ADVOCATE (Defense attorney) who pleas for you before the Father in heaven (his blood speaks!) so you, if you do whats right, keep believing, and Having Faith in your Advocate (Jesus) He will see that, and bring justice to pass.
In the meantime, please let’s remember dear saints, that we must continue on in doing our best to be fair, impartial, and pray about our decisions, not matter what has been done to us. Cause truly, two wrongs, do not make a right. Amen!
And so those who say God is going to roar down on you? Punish you like an angry monster? Not so! That would be the other guy (satan) who is full of wrath….pouring it out on those who refuse to seek God, as their refuge! (and even some who do!) ..
Good God. Bad Devil.
The Kingdom of God is righteousness, Joy and Peace IN the Holy Spirit! Amen.
and God be with you! Peace! (Laura Grace)
