Where are you going to run to when you feel My hands of chastisement upon you? For surely My hands of chastisement shall come upon all of My disobedient children. I must have a Holy Nation and I will go to great lengths to preserve My chosen vessels; vessels that will be full of My Glory and carry that Glory to a lost and dying generation.
Why do you think it a strange thing when I chasten those that I love? I am not mere mortal man that allows darkness to invade first myself and then all those that I am around. [Hebrews 12:5-8]
You will no longer profess to carry My name and act and live like the world of darkness that surrounds those who are not sons. You will be a light carrier or I will cast you into outer darkness where there is gnashing of teeth. I will spew you out of My mouth; if you will not endure the chastening rod. For does not My word state that {I chasten those that I love?} Of course it does! [Matthew 8:12]
I warned you that satan has asked for you, to sift you as wheat; but you paid no heed to that warning and now the sifting has begun and you stand looking perplexed as though you cannot believe what you are going through. [Luke 22:31-32]
Now, what are you going to do with that double mind? Does not My word say that {a double minded man is unstable in all his ways?} [James 1:6-8]
Come now, let us reason together and let us work this thing out so you will be a vessel of honor that CAN carry My Glory; for at the present moment you cannot carry this power of Glory that I am getting ready to extend all across this land. [Isaiah 1:18-20; II Timothy 2:19-23]
Are you going to die in this wilderness journey or are you going to run the race that is set before you? [Exodus 13:8]
Decision is all yours!
Hebrews 12:5-8 (NKJV)
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: “My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
6 For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.”
7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?
8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
Revelation 3:19-21 (NKJV)
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
Matthew 8:12 (NKJV)
12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Luke 22:31-32 (NKJV)
31 And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.
32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”
James 1:6-8 (NKJV)
6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Isaiah 1:18-20 (NKJV)
18 “Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;
20 But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword”; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
2 Timothy 2:19-23 (NKJV)
19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.
21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.
