[FS] The Blessings of Being Disciplined

``The bible is very clear that that Satan is the prince of the power of the air. Right? He he has great sway in in our life today here on this earth, But it is not that Jesus' or god's the father's power is not overseeing and doesn't know or can't intervene any which way he pleases and he does. But sometimes sometimes people think, oh, well, this is we can't we can't we're under Satan's sway, and that's really not a good accurate healthy way to live nor is it biblical understanding.

The very fact that you're suffering is not proof that God hates you or has forgotten about you. In fact, it's the very opposite. When you suffer, you are actually being, he's proven to you that you are in his family. You have an inheritance because you are in his family. Because you are a son and daughter, you get an inheritance. Right? [00:13:27] (28 seconds)  #SufferingProvesFamily

when we get there. But here's an application for you and it comes in the form of question. And the question is this, do you ever look at the difficult things you are going through as proof that you're a son and daughter of God? Do you? Do you think about the the hardest thing you're going through? Maybe you're going through it right now. Maybe you went through it a year ago. Did you look at that as actually proof that you are a child of God? I don't know if we always do that, but this tells me is that's exactly what we should do. The discipline of the Lord literally proves you're a child of God and it proves he wants your attention too. [00:14:45] (49 seconds)  #TrialsShowSonship

The second blessing of being disciplined to the Lord is this, discipline proves god loves you. He loves you. It literally proves that and and and the holy spirit is telling them this and the reason I say the holy spirit is telling them this is because he's he's taken an old testament quote which was inspired by the the writers of Solomon, the writer of Proverbs, by the holy spirit to write that down. The the writer of Hebrews, we don't know who he is, but he is inspired by the by the holy spirit to to realize this is truth. He's bringing it back and so he's saying, the holy spirit saying, don't take lightly. That means don't blow it off. [00:16:10] (47 seconds)  #DisciplineIsLove

Now sometimes that's a hard deal. I I went through that that that struggle for over a year being on the road. And I was like, get me over this. I'm good. I'm learning, God. We we kinda get in that place at times. But he says, don't get tired of it because God has something more for you. This mean God and this ultimately means that God loves you. And should we ever get tired of God loving us? Sometimes it is tiring when he does it that way. Right? But we're not to get tired of God loving us. [00:17:09] (38 seconds)  #DontTireOfGodsLove

Satan wants to trick Christians into thinking that God hates them, but that's not the case. God loves us. In fact, it's quite noteworthy that the word love in in the in this passage is the the Greek word agape, which is that that perfect love that is the unconditional love, that's the the love actually from from God to us in the in its perfection and being disciplined by God. Well, it is an amazing thing. And those who are not his children though, he leaves to their own devices. They have their ups and their downs, but it's not discipline.

So we've understood here that God's discipline makes us children of God. It makes it makes improves that we that he loves us. Now, I want us to learn what god provides for us through his discipline. Number three, discipline provides you with a reason to endure. The discipline itself provides a reason for you and to endure. Listen to what it says in the beginning of verse seven. For it is discipline that you have to endure. Okay? The the very thing we don't want in the midst of it is exactly what we need and what we need to deal with and need to go through. That's what he's telling us here. The discipline is going to grow you. It is going to mature you. It is gonna confirm that God actually loves you. It is gonna prove that you are a child of God.

Number four in your outline, discipline provides you with holiness and righteousness. Holiness and righteousness. This first one, god's holiness. When I think about that idea of having god's holiness, I'm like, what? Me? Wow. How could how could I actually have god's holiness? This has to be kind of be wrong or some way or shape or form. I couldn't have god's holiness as part of who I am but the Bible is clear on this. [00:34:03] (32 seconds)  #GivenGodsHoliness
