14LHDVD11-1 - Nickie Pinson - DELIVERANCE THROUGH CHASTISEMENT - Donation $6.00 - Psalm 119:67 “Before I was afflicted, I went astray, but now I’ve kept your Word.” God knows what He is doing when He afflicts us. He brings deliverance through chastisement, out of His kindness and great love for us. Affliction allowed by the Lord is His chastisement and it will deliver us from the error of our way. The purpose of chastisement is to get us back on the straight and narrow path. We have become unprofitable and we are sinners. Until we become honest and confess our sins, evil spirits will never come out of us. So how long are we going to put up with our sins? It’s time to get something done here because it’s just going to get worse. We need to get violent about our deliverance. The wimpy do nothing more than complain and feel sorry for themselves. The longer we attempt to cover up our sins, gloss over them, or make light of them, the longer we will be afflicted. Church, chastening puts us into a position to partake of God’s holiness! When the Lord chooses to use chastisement as a means to bring us into holiness, the key is for us to reverence and be in subjection to Him. We need to have a broken and contrite spirit, humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God and get free from bondage to sin.
