RHEMA 11/13/06 CORRECTED FOR BETTER CHOICES

HEARD:  We stand corrected.

PIX: I saw someone underline a sentence that said, “As if it were YOU.”

HEARD:  Repentance.  What it must have been like.  Death to self.  To want something so badly, then let it go.  Comfort My people. 

WORD TO PONDER:  CORRECTION, THE WAY TO RIGHT LIVING  11/13/06

Yes, when I shine My light upon a crooked place, it hurts to see the truth.  It hurts to see what choices caused such pain and it hurts to see the ramifications of all that has happened as a result.  My love, the purpose of correction is not to leave you in groaning pain, but to inspire you to make new choices.  New choices is simply turning your back on the old ones that were wrong and did not work.  New choices IS repentance.  As you confess the wrong choices and turn away from such, this is death to self.  It is releasing that part of you that does not line up with My truth and My image, and allowing Me to set you free to walk in a new liberty.

Heb 12:10-11 AMP

He disciplines us for our certain good, that we may become sharers in His own holiness.  For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems grievous and painful; but afterwards it yields a peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it [a harvest of fruit which consists in righteousness — in conformity to God's will in purpose, thought, and action, resulting in right living and right standing with God].
