Enduring the Test-Pit of Pain.
BROTHERS !!
When Yahusha reveals his loving kindness to us we are left engulfed and swooning from this experience. As He hooks our hearts He draws us into His sweetness, we respond to His offer of salvation (deliverance) and eternal life with a YES PLEASE, save me from myself dearest Master. It is pretty obvious Yahusha died for the sinner and not the righteous (or those who think they are). We who acknowledge the hopelessness of our state in sin, need the Physician of cleansing deliverance. We realise we have done such a bad job of handling ourselves, all we can really do is hand our lives over to the One who died for us in a cruel and undeserved sacrifice. This was the price He paid to buy us from Ha Shatan. It is so very important to understand, that we don't own ourselves anymore, but are owned by our new Master Yahusha Messiah, Who wants to train us into His ways (behaviours), so that we will survive to bear the fruits of righteousness.
ENDURING THE TEST PIT OF PAIN
Heb 12:7-8 "IF YOU ENDURE THE FLOGGINGS DISCIPLINE AND REBUKES FROM YAHUAH, HE IS TREATING YOU AS SONS".
Do you think that Yahuah is cruel to put us through such agony? It IS real agony, because we feel as though the pain of our stubbornness against His righteousness will kill us, unless we surrender our behaviour, to conform with Turah. This is how we bear righteous fruit and for our sakes Yahusha won't give in causing our own agony. Or should Yahusha just accept our unrighteous behaviour? Wouldn't this be what they call religion, because this is what they do, leaving people in heartache all the time. If we endure we shall overcome. To pass Yahuah's Test we must endure the pain of facing our own wickedness against His word. Yahuah will mirror our behaviour so that we understand He has every right to test our commitment to Him. After all every bridegroom wants to see that His Bride is truthful, faithful and loving. No man wants a bride who behaves like a whore.
8.BUT IF YOU ARE WITHOUT DISCIPLINE,OF WHICH ALL HAVE BECOME SHARERS,THEN YOU ARE ILLEGITIMATE & NOT SONS.
Verse 8 is the main point we want to pick up in this post. What would it be to refuse to enter the Test Pit of Pain and yet say you are a believer? What would it be for the believers to have someone amongst them who is pretending to be having the Test- Pit of Pain Experience but their behaviour never changes and they still have the same problems they always had. There is no change or growth and consequently no love from them, because they cannot tap into the source. Yet they remain amongst you, WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT ?
Tell me brothers is Yahusha discarding these people that are amongst us? How does Yahusha treat these false worshippers? Tell me, if we will not enter The Test Pit of Pain, will we be treated as sons and will we receive anything from Yahusha?
Is this part of our endurance test or should we say something ? Does refusing discipline make you no son ?
Imagine continuing the whole journey, overcoming, bearing the fruits and reaching the new millennium . . . . . By Chris Hilton . . .
VICTORIA HILTON WROTE: Hey, everyone would experience this, whether believing it or not. Only those who endure and face the truth about their behaviour will get through to the other side of the test pit to the swooning love of Yahusha. Truly, it is a painful journey, but so worth it all!
