And this is why I think: is that I have the burden of pride in my character. Thus, I don't recognize when God is really trying to discipline me. Sadly, I can't even think of a time when God has tried discplining me. I am glad to have read this post because now I must be consciously aware of Him before myself....all the time! I really DO want the discipline!

The Lord takes each case on an individual basis. Some situations require some discipline, even after repentance, the reaping of consequences, even though forgiven (as with David). Other situations may be not require it. None of us get what we deserve, thanks to the grace of God which is so great and abundant. For those who love the Lord, we must remember that discipline is for all the good things mentioned in Heb 12, rather than the very narrow definition of punishment.<br /><br />I have not had contact with any of the "manifest sons" people or doctrine for many years. But I do know that when I did encounter it I heard things that to me were strange and un-biblical. At that time I met with a major leader to ask him point blank about some of the things I was hearing and he confirmed my apprehensions. The fellow I spoke to at the time did not believe that Jesus Himself was coming back the way He left, but that He was coming back in His people. This led to some twists of truth that I was very uncomfortable with.Billy Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739420756402743057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318245630918980101.post-5301191836176959192009-06-22T21:18:15.037-04:002009-06-22T21:18:15.037-04:00Billy,

I know David was confronted with his sin before he repented. On another note, do you have any insight on the "Kingdom Now"or "Manifest Sons"doctrine?
