I got chastened (corrected)…in other words, “SPANKED” of the
Lord last night. I’ll admit it. Let me tell you why. When I come home on Monday
evenings I usually walk my dog and then eat dinner before I go play volleyball
which is something I have only been doing for the past few months because I’m
on a Church League.
Well, last night I was late coming home from work and
knowing the time was short before I had to go play I told my wife that I would
eat first and then walk our dog Buddie before I went to play. Guess what? I ate
and didn’t walk my pup but left that burden to my wife and so I lied even though
I said I would do that. First Mistake!
Because time was running out and my wife observed me getting
ready she asked…”When will you be back?” I said “9 o’clock” knowing that I was
going to be there till 10 and didn’t want to tell my wife that she was going to
be burdened again with walking our dog. Mistake Number 2…Second Lie! I
intentionally lied and guess what happens…
So we are playing our 2nd game against the
opposing team but all of us winners in Christ…1 Corinthians 15:57…and this
brother hits to our side a line drive on the net to the right so I follow the
ball thinking I will make contact and keep it in play but you know what? Not
only did I not touch the ball, I hyperextended my body and right foot in the
attempt and severely hurting it. When I got up it was a fire of pain on the top
of my right foot and though the pain grew I stayed in the game with my co-players
defending around me which was just amazing to see.
I got SPANKED! And as
I thought about it after the game of what happened and WHY? I realized that by
the conviction of the Holy Spirit that I lied not once but twice to my wife and
God saw and hear it and corrected me showing me that I didn’t get away with it….”Be
not deceived God is not mocked for
whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap”…Galatians 6:7.
So what did I do? I confessed(repented) it to God my sin of
lying and asked my wife to forgive me as well. This is God’s way and we are all
guilty of falling short even believers…Romans 3:23.
So those beginning top verses says that whom the Lord loves
He chastens (corrects) and deals with me as a son and not a bastard (having no
father). It’s a loving reminder to me from God’s heart that He does need me and you to
walk holy and righteous in His sight and not sin but when we sin…we have a
promise to get right again and here it is…”When we confess our sins, He is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us of all
unrighteousness”… 1 John 1:9.
Thank God for this verse and God’s heart to
restore us but we must see it from His eyes or we will never humble ourselves
before Him. The way of God is perfect and so lying is one sin you must stay
away from. Psalm 119:29 says..”Keep me from the way of lying”….
So there’s my story. I’m still hobbling on crutches and
praying that the Lord will heal me. I’m reaching out to you to NOT GO THERE.
Even Christians are not perfect in this flesh vessel until we get home just don’t
even go there. I’m restored now in the spirit. This I say then,Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh...Galatians 5:16
Did you know that many of our Bible heroes went there too in
their walk? No kidding, it’s true.
·
Jacob wrestled with God all night until God
touched the hollow of his hip leaving him limp and then and only then he
submitted to God and then God changed his name to Israel a saved son of God.
·
Though he knew God, David committed adultery and
lied about it and then had the husband murdered but Psalm 51 is his confession
to God for forgiveness and is a very important Psalm to me now.
·
Paul had murdered Christians before he was
converted and labeled himself the “chief of sinners” the only problem with this
is that he never met me and I am the “chief of sinners”.
·
Joseph was a little puffed up being a favorite
of his father Jacob and was separated from his family and God humbled him to be
used greatly.
·
Even Abraham though he walked with God was
scared for food and left the promise land that God gave to him and went to
Egypt almost losing his wife lying that she was his sister.
·
God almost killed Moses because he hesitated to
circumcise his son in Exodus 4:24-26
Be blessed my
Brothers and Sisters in Messiah Jesus!

I have set thee a watchman therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from Me..God Almighty-Ezekiel 33:7 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in Me...Acts 26:18 And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming...1 John 2:28
About Me
- Valistener
- I was graciously saved from charismatic confusion and catholicism tradition unto Jesus alone by John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me" which I read in a Jack Chick tract called "This Was Your Life" given me from a Christian friend. At the end I broke into a cold sweat because of heavy conviction that what I just read I was guilty of and knew I was in trouble. I was given a book called "A Divine Revelation to Hell" from a Christian which scared the "hell" out of me. After reading another tract called "Last Rites" I prayed to God to forgive me and Jesus to save me because I didn't want to go to hell but go to Heaven one day. Jesus knew I could not save myself so He died on that cross for me. Now I give out Chick tracts, gospel movies, and Biblical archeology newspapers so that God may be glorified in me through His Son Jesus, Messiah. Don't ever give up on your family and friends you pray for because his Word doesn't return void. And one day, you may hear God say unto you "..Well done thou good and faithful servant:..enter thou into the joy of thy Lord" Matthew 25:21,23 Amen
