Chastisement!
Chastisement : Cambridge dictionary: a severe criticism or punishment:
Websters: Chastise : to censure severely: CASTIGATE | 2: to inflict punishment on (as by whipping)
“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastise-ment [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.” Isaiah 53:5 AMPC.
“Divine Justification” is more than a “get out of jail free” pass.
For I AM knows all about every person in this world. He knew from the beginning our failure but Jesus/ Yeshua volunteered to be the sacrificial Lamb to lay down His life for our freedom from sin and death.
He created a Divine Exchange for us if we are willing to repent of our sins (change our minds) to want to live in Him.
“Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the Light which is Life.” John 8:12 AMPC.
“So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last.
And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”” John 8:7-12 NKJV.
ETERNAL LIFE is not a cheap gift!
Everlasting life is promised to those who in their hearts choose Him over the things of this world, who want eternal fellowship with our King of kings.
The LOVE OF GOD is also eternal, steadfast, merciful and kind to us who are undeserving.
He is not like an Egyptian slave owner of the past holding a whip over your head and whacking you if you make a wrong move!
“My love is the anchor of your heart, soul and spirit man.
You are NEVER alone!
I live in you, and you are in Me.
You are Mine and I AM yours.
I said I will NEVER leave or forsake you.
But I AM coming to judge the wicked and compromisers of the faith.
I AM not going to allow the enemy to destroy everything.
He has done much to destroy My Creation and continues in his arrogance through his followers to pervert creation, as if He wins in the end.
But if you have read the ending you know he doesn’t win!
In this world you will have tribulation I have said.
The early Christians were NOT free from persecution. Many were martyred.
Today there have been many more martyrs to the faith than ever before.
How many in the western world are prepared to face persecution?
Can you not see it is at hand?
Do you think oh Western Bride that you will not have to pay a price like other nations have?
Are you better Christians than My Syrian Bride?
Are you holier than My Chinese Bride who has suffered so much?”
The Humbled and Exalted Christ
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.” Philippians 2:5-8 NKJV.
“For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Philippians 1:19-21 NKJV.
“And do not [for a moment] be frightened or intimidated in anything by your opponents and adversaries, for such [constancy and fearlessness] will be a clear sign (proof and seal) to them of [their impending] destruction, but [a sure token and evidence] of your deliverance and salvation, and that from God. For you have been granted [the privilege] for Christ’s sake not only to believe in (adhere to, rely on, and trust in) Him, but also to suffer in His behalf.
So you are engaged in the same conflict which you saw me [wage] and which you now hear to be mine [vallstill].” Philippians 1:28-30 AMPC.
“The Chastisement I bring is for The Church to be conformed to My image, and not their own idea of who I AM is.
I love My Bride and am making her into MY image step by step. My Judgments are to bring alignment with MY WILL, in this world.
Strongholds of demons are being judged, all that is evil in this world is being judged.
There will be much more shaking and rolling, tearing down of mountains, and raising up of valleys.
There will be eruptions in various places and roaring of seas. There will be judgments on those destroying the land, the food supplies, and My People. All is at hand!
So awaken My Bride and clothe yourself in linen garments, and worship Me, and I will clothe you with My LIGHT and POWER and you will go forth into the nations and bring healing and deliverance to the captives.
Be not afraid of those who say they are Jews but are NOT, or those who say bow to my god or else.
Remember Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
Remember Daniel!
Stand STRONG! For I AM is with you and will be with you wherever you are in this world — and you will be with ME forever.
Remember when it rains, that it rains on the good and the bad — but My Favor is with those who love Me above all else!”
