RHEMA 4/06/07 SHEDDING PARENTAL CONTROL

HEARD: Getting into trouble. Is that what you think? Simmer.

My concern for you. Asking you to come out of the old parent bondage and come into a new freedom. Without the burden. Finding a way to tell you this without hurting you. Oops. Come on and see the whole. Stepping in and taking over.

 

WORD TO PONDER:  COMING OUT OF OLD PARENTAL BONDAGE 4/06/07

Dear spiritual parents, do not provoke My children to wrath.  If you use the weapons of flesh to force change, it will eventually produce the fruits of angry, bitter and rebelling children.  Using flesh is enforcing behavior by coercion, demands, commands, anger, yelling, striving, intimidation, domination, manipulation and control.  These are not only the works of the flesh but also demonic.  Anger from man will never produce the righteousness My children need to make right choices.

Instead, seek to educate them, tenderly training them with counsel and with sincere, pleading warnings.  Let them hear My yearning, loving voice through yours.  Let them know the seriousness of their actions and My  spiritual laws that every seed reaps what is sown.  Call attention to the warning places where they wander and seek to bring them back to the right path. 

If they are rebellious and will not listen, honor their free will to make wrong choices, but grant them the consequences of that choice through disciplinary action, always backed with My concern for their welfare and love.  Teach them to be accountable for their choices and in so doing, they will grow up to become mature adults who know how to rule and temper their own flesh and souls under the reign of My Spirit.  Children learn by watching role models.  Be the godly role model I have called you to be by representing My heart, through your voice, countenance and actions.

Eph 6:4 NKJV

And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath , but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

Eph 6:4AMP

Fathers, do not irritate and provoke your children to anger [do not exasperate them to resentment], but rear them [tenderly] in the training and discipline and the counsel and admonition of the Lord.

James 1:19-20 NKJV

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE REBELLIOUS AND OPENLY DEFYING:

Heb 12:5-13 AMP
And have you [completely] forgotten the divine word of appeal and encouragement in which you are reasoned with and addressed as sons? My son, do not think lightly or scorn to submit to the correction and discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage and give up and faint when you are reproved or corrected by Him; 6 For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes. 7 You must submit to and endure [correction] for discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons. For what son is there whom his father does not [thus] train and correct and discipline? 8 Now if you are exempt from correction and left without discipline in which all [of God's children] share, then you are illegitimate offspring and not true sons [at all]. [Prov 3:11,12.] 9 Moreover, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we yielded [to them] and respected [them for training us]. Shall we not much more cheerfully submit to the Father of spirits and so [truly] live? 10 For [our earthly fathers] disciplined us for only a short period of time and chastised us as seemed proper and good to them; but He disciplines us for our certain good, that we may become sharers in His own holiness. 11 For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems grievous and painful; but afterwards it yields a peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it [a harvest of fruit which consists in righteousness — in conformity to God's will in purpose, thought, and action, resulting in right living and right standing with God]. 12 So then, brace up and reinvigorate and set right your slackened and weakened and drooping hands and strengthen your feeble and palsied and tottering knees, [Isa 35:3.] 13 And cut through and make firm and plain and smooth, straight paths for your feet [yes, make them safe and upright and happy paths that go in the right direction], so that the lame and halting [limbs] may not be put out of joint, but rather may be cured.
