Be Disciplined in the Way of the Holy Spirit
God wants us to become a living sacrifice. That is not possible if we choose to fellowship with others who are more concerned about their own personal life over the kind of life God intends for us to have through Jesus Christ. This is not the foundation of a relationship approved by God. It is not possible to walk in power with someone who is holding back from God in this way. That is being unequally yoked, and he will move to sever those relationships in our lives, no matter how close and important they may be to us. We need not fear the devil. He is merely a tool in the hands of God to discipline your life.
The Lord intends that we constantly examine our soul and the desires of our heart. If there is heaviness in our heart, perhaps our desires are in the wrong place, or at enmity with God’s will for our lives. Remember, the Jews rejected Jesus, and they were his chosen people. When Jesus showed up, they killed him. We need to be very careful that we do not fall into this same trap when Jesus shows up to discipline our lives into the way of the Father. Struggles and hardships in our lives are absolutely part of God’s way in the disciplinary process of his people. Do not let the lies of the Prosperity Gospel deceive you into thinking otherwise.
Our children are to be the fruit of God’s work, but Western Culture has abandoned the ancient ways, God’s ways, of parenting. We have switched to methods of entertainment to lure and maneuver our children into learning about him. God never intended this to be our method of teaching our children about him. Our children need to want to know God. It needs to be a choice they make to seek God, not through our enticement and maneuvering of them through soulish entertainment. If our children do not truly desire to know God, that is a serious matter that should be addressed in their lives. They will love God if you demonstrate the love of God to them. This is the long abandoned key to victory for our families in God.
Many ministers today continue to bless in the soul and appeal to the emotions of man. This is wrong and is despised by God, but many falsely believe that they are serving God in obedience by doing this. Ministers of the Gospel are to never paint a rosy picture of an easy and “rich” life in God. Instead of preaching repentance, God’s people are encourage to use “soul power” in the carrying out of God’s work, which is a very low place in God’s vision for his people. Ambition can lock us in this low place. Lack of discipline in this way will stir others up in wrong and soulish methods of carrying out God’s work.
God loves a contrite and repentant heart. Do not be afraid to re-chart your vision in the Lord. He is forgiving, as in the story of the Prodigal Son. The Holy Spirit convicts and seeks to subdue the soul of man and his emotion. Re-chart your life’s course in God. Let the desire of the ages be fulfilled in you. Become a son.
