SPANK ME INTO HEAVEN

Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:



HOW MANY OF US CAN TRULY SAY WE HAVE BEEN HAPPY WHEN RECEIVING OUR CORRECTION FROM THE LORD, EVEN KNOWING THAT WE ARE WELL DESERVING OF GREATER PUNISHMENT ?

I HOPE IN HONESTY WE ALL ANSWERED "NEVER" TO THAT QUESTION.

IN RETROSPECT WE MAY REJOICE IN OUR CORRECTIONS ONCE IT IS REALIZED THAT GOD METED IT OUT WITH MERCY.

WE MUST ALSO RETROSPECTIVELY EXAMINE HOW GOD'S CORRECTIVE DISCIPLINE MORE THEN LIKELY PREVENTED US FROM SLIPPING FURTHER INTO OUR SINFUL STATE.

IF THERE WAS EVER AN INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS SUBJECTED TO TEST AND TRIALS IT WAS JOB.

THIS SAME JOB FOUND IT IN HIMSELF TO DECLARE SUCH A BOLD SCRIPTURAL STATEMENT IN SPITE OF HIS LOSSES, DESPAIR, AND SADNESS.

JOB'S ATTITUDE WAS SUCH, THAT HE ASSUMED HE WAS BEING CORRECTED FOR SOME WRONG/SIN HE'D COMMITTED AGAINST GOD, THEREFORE HE BELIEVED HE WAS BEING SUBJECTED TO GOD'S CORRECTIVE ACTIONS.

THOUGH WE REALIZE THIS WAS NOT THE CASE, WE ONLY ARE AWARE OF THAT FACT BECAUSE WE READ IT AFTER THE FACT.

JOB WASN'T READING ABOUT HIS WOES, HE WAS ACTUALLY LIVING THEM, AND YET HE MANAGED TO ADOPT THE ATTITUDE OF PRAISING AND WORSHIPPING GOD.

CAN WE SAY THE SAME FOR OURSELVES ?

DO WE DESPISE THE CHASTENING OF THE LORD ?

ARE WE JOYFUL, AND REJOICING ABOUT OUR CORRECTION FROM OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, OR ARE WE COMPLAINING, QUESTIONING, AND RUNNING FROM OUR SPANKINGS ?

IT'S TIME TO RE-EXAMINE OUR CIRCUMSTANCES IN HOPES OF DISCOVERING IF WE ARE BEING CHASTENED BY THE ALMIGHTY, OR IF WE ARE SIMPLY IN A MESS DUE TO OUR OWN PRIDEFUL ACTIONS, AND DECISIONS.

WHATEVER THE CASE MAYBE I BELIEVE IT WISDOM THAT WE EXAMINE OUR LIVE'S, AND SITUATIONS PLACING GOD IN THE VERY CENTER OF THE PROCESS.

THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL WE BEGIN TO CULTIVATE THE PROPER ATTITUDE AND MEASURES TO LIVE A PLEASING LIFE TO GOD THE ALMIGHTY.

REMEMBER JOB SAID, "HAPPY IS THE MAN WHO GOD CORRECTETH", BUT HE NEVER INDICATED WHEN THE HAPPINESS WILL BE REALIZED.

MY POINT IS THAT WE MAY NEVER TRULY REALIZE JUST HOW MUCH THE LORD HAS DONE FOR US BY HIS CORRECTIVE ACTIONS UNTIL WE ARRIVE IN HIS PRESENCE IN PEACE TO SPEND ETERNITY WITH HIM.

IT IS AT THAT TIME GENUINE CHILDREN OF GOD WILL BE EVER SO GRATEFUL FOR THE LOVE OF THE FATHER THAT CARED ENOUGH TO PREVENT OUR WAYWARD PRACTICES TO LEAD US INTO A DEVIL'S HELL.





2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:



AS IN THE NATURAL, SPANKINGS HURT FOR A SHORT TIME, BUT UNRULY LIVING WILL FOLLOW US THROUGHOUT LIFE.

THIS LIFESTYLE BRINGS MUCH HEARTACHE, PAIN, DISAPPOINTMENT, AND SEVERE REPERCUSSIONS, SUCH AS INCARCERATION, EARLY GRAVE, AND WORSE OF ALL AN ETERNITY IN HELL.

PARENT'S SPANKINGS HELP US TO DEVELOP INTO GOOD CITIZENS, BUT GOD'S SPANKINGS WILL SAVE US AND CREATE CITIZENS OF HEAVEN.

OUR REQUEST SHOULD BE FOR THE LORD TO SPANK US RIGHT INTO HEAVEN.
