I am your Father who has given you gifts and a calling. I have a desire to see you walking in them.  It is My joy to bring you up into maturity. You are delightful to Me. Your spirit is strong and wise, but there are some places in your soul where you are still a child. These places were places taken early by sin and abuse, they have been locked away and unable to learn and grow. I have redeemed you, all of you. I have been bringing you through training and teaching your childish places to learn to behave. I am calling them up so that you can contain a fuller measure of My Spirit within you. Don’t despise My discipline, for I discipline the one I love, the one I delight in.~God

Hebrews 12:6 for the Lord disciplines the one He loves and punishes every son He receives.

Proverbs 13:18 Poverty and disgrace come to those who ignore discipline, but the one who accepts correction will be honored.

11-19 (1 of 1)

Even from your childhood, you have been attacked. But you are still standing, still seeking Me. I have not allowed them to prevail against you. They have made deep impressions in your mind, trying to ruin your life. They have hated you because you are Mine. But I have saved you and cut off their hold over you. Turn into Me now, for with Me, are redemption and salvation. In your new freedom, you may be frightened but I want you to calm and quiet yourself and walk beside Me in confidence and trust. ~God

Psalm 129: 1-4  Since my youth they have often attacked me, but they have not prevailed against me. Plowmen have plowed over my back; they made their furrows long. The Lord is righteous; He has cut the ropes of the wicked.

Psalm 131:2 Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself like a little weaned child with its mother.

2 Samuel 22:3-4 You save me from violence. I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I was saved from my enemies.

Prayer from Stormie Omartian’s book “Lead Me Holy Spirit”

Led to Be Separate from the Enemy of Your Soul

Lord, show me anything I need to see so that I can separate myself from all evil. If I have unknowingly aligned myself with the enemy of my soul, help me to “abstain from every form of evil” (Thessalonians 5:22) Make me aware when I am not clearly separated from evil the way you want me to be. If the things I am doing, seeing or saying are supporting the enemy, help me to recognize that and walk away from it. “I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies” (Psalm 18:3) Thank You that You will never leave or forsake me but will always deliver me.
