WHAT IS TRUE CHASTENING & SPIRITUAL CIRCUMCISION? Ps 69:10 - When I wept, AND CHASTENED MY SOUL WITH FASTING, that was to my reproach. HOW DOES ONE TRULY CHASTEN ? .............. WITH FASTING. THIS IS HOW YOU SPIRITUALLY CHASTEN OR SCOURGE YOUR FLESH TO BECOME A CHILD OF THE FATHER. THE APOSTLE EXPOUNDS IN HEBREWS 12 ...... And ye have FORGOTTEN FORGOTTEN AND YE HAVE FORGOTTEN THE EXHORTATION which speaketh unto you as unto Children, My son, despise not thou the CHASTENING of the Lord, nor Faint when thou art rebuked of him: (Prov 3:11) Hebrews 12:6 - For whom the Lord LOVETH HE CHASTENETH, and SCOURGETH EVERY SON whom he receiveth. IF ye endure CHASTENING, God dealeth with you as with SONS; for what son is he whom the FATHER chasteneth not? But if ye be WITHOUT chastisement, WHEREOF ALL ARE PARTAKERS, Then ye are Bastards, AND NOT SONS. I WAS UNAWARE THE HOLY APOSTLES SPOKE IN SUCH A MANNER. I UNDERSTAND IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF CHASTENING THE SOUL WITH FASTING. ALL OF US WANT TO BE PART OF THE FATHERS FAMILY, THERE IS NO DOUBTING THAT. And THE SON stretched forth his hand toward his DISCIPLES, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! MY FAMILY. In the Gospel of Thomas ... The Son said, If you do not FAST from THE WORLD , you will not find the Fathers kingdom. REMEMBER..... Job 23 : 12 - Neither have I gone back from the COMMANDMENT of his lips; I have esteemed the WORDS OF HIS MOUTH more than my NECESSARY FOOD. REMEMBER THE SON ... On His 40th day of his chastening or FASTING FROM THE WORLD. The first thing He was tempted to do was eat .... and He recites the command ..... Duet 8:3 - Man shall not live by BREAD ALONE, but by EVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of GOD. REMEMBER THE SON said, Moreover WHEN ye FAST, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to Fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. I SHALL GO ON ..... AND SPEAK A PARABLE OF THE WISE. CONSIDER ABRAHAM ... AND HOW THE MARK OF A TRUE JEW IS THE REMOVING OF THE FLESH.HOW DO MEN STILL TAKE IT LITERALLY? IT IS CLEAR THE APOSTLES ARE SPEAKING IN TONGUES. THEY ARE USING SYMBOLISMS,ANALOGIES, AND METAPHORS TO COMMUNICATE. COINCIDENTALLY THE BOOK OF HEBREWS SAYS THE HEBREW FAMILY PARTAKES IN THIS CHASTENING, NOT THE OLIVE COLORED SKIN, AND LARGE NOSE HEBREW. THIS IS THE FATHERS FAMILY, AND FLESH AND BLOOD WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. THERE IS NEITHER GREEK NOR JEW, NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE, BUT WE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST. IN HEBREWS 12 THE APOSTLE SAYS WE ARE ALL PARTAKERS, A TRUE CIRCUMCISON OR TO SPIRITUALLY BE A CHILD OF THE FATHER, IS TO REMOVE THE FLESH THROUGH FASTING IN THE SPIRIT AND TRUTH .... JUST LIKE OUR PAST EXAMPLES ABRAHAM, DAVID, THE SON, AND ALL THE APOSTLES. ALL GLORY BE TO GOD. THE APOSTLE PAUL EXPOUNDS WITH MORE DETAIL. Rom 2:28 - For he is NOT a Jew, which is one outwardly; NEITHER IS THAT CIRCUMCISION, WHICH IS outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the HEART IN THE SPIRIT, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Colossians 2:11 - In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made WITHOUT hands, in putting off the BODY of the sins of the FLESH by the Circumcision of Christ: Galatians 2:13 - But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ , that they might bring us into bondage: Galatians 6:13 - For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the TORAH; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your FLESH. Philippians 3:3 -For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the SPIRIT, and rejoice in Christ , and have NO confidence in the FLESH. THE APOSTLE TEACHES US THE CIRCUMCISION OR CHASTENING TO BECOME A SON IS DONE THROUGH THE SPIRIT & TRUTH .... NOT THE OUTER FLESH. CHRIST OUR SAVIOUR EXPOUNDS Matt 3;9 - And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham as our father: for I say unto you, that the FATHER is able of these stones to Raise up Children unto Abraham. John 4:23, 24 - And The Son Said, But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE Worshippers shall Worship the Father In Spirit & In Truth .... for the Father SEEKETH such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him In SPIRIT & In Truth. 1 Samuel 16:7 For the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the HEART Jeremiah 4: 4 - Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your HEART, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. Duet 10:16 - Circumcise therefore the foreskins of your heart, and be no more stiff necked
