Listen carefully for My still, small voice, says the Lord. For, I am bringing you into order by the power of My word. There are areas in your life that must be set right. Do not resist My correction or despise My chastening, for you are My offspring, and you belong to Me. These places of darkness are rooted in old habits and patterns of behavior, and your tendency will be to keep these things hidden in darkness.
But, it is to your ultimate spiritual benefit that everything be brought to the light and be exposed for what it is. Let Me do this important work of purification, and you will rejoice in newfound freedom.Hebrews 12:511 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; For whom the LORD loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives." If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
