I repent Father for dreading the refinement and sanctification process. Thank you for changing my perspective that I should see it as a demonstration of love "Because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son."(Hebrews 12:6) I thank you for the privilege to become a vessel for your own special use and thank you for helping me understand discipline, chastening, and correction from God plays a vital role in the process of becoming a mature child of God and partaking in the divine nature, ultimately leading to obtaining the full stature of Christ. Character Development: Through discipline and correction, God shapes our character and molds us into the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). Just as a parent disciplines their child out of love to instill values and virtues, God disciplines us for our spiritual growth and maturity. Spiritual Growth: The process of discipline and correction leads to spiritual growth and maturity (Hebrews 12:11). As we endure hardships and trials with the right attitude, we develop perseverance, character, and hope (Romans 5:3-4), which are essential traits for spiritual maturity. Conformity to Christ: God's discipline conforms us to the likeness of Christ, enabling us to partake in His divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). As we yield to God's refining process, we become more like Christ in our thoughts, attitudes, and actions, reflecting His love, humility, and obedience. Holiness and Purity: Discipline and correction cleanse us from sin and purify our hearts, enabling us to walk in holiness and righteousness (Hebrews 12:10; Psalm 119:67). Through the refining fire of God's discipline, impurities are removed, and we are sanctified for His purposes. Fruitfulness: Just as pruning leads to fruitfulness in a vineyard (John 15:2), God's discipline produces a harvest of righteousness and peace in our lives (Hebrews 12:11). As we allow God to prune away sinful habits and attitudes, we bear the fruit of the Spirit and become more effective in fulfilling His purposes.

What is the difference between a Christian and a disciple? Are they the same? I have been learning through fellowship that Christian and disciples are the same, but different. Jesus called his close followers, disciples. These 12 went out as instructed by Jesus. The word disciple appears around more than 200 times(depending on the Bible translation). The word Christian appears three times in the Bible (years after Jesus's death). For me, all disciples of Jesus Christ can be considered Christians, but not all Christians can be considered disciples. Dissecting this, being a Christian means in broad terms you identify in the world of Christianity and its religion. Being a disciple means you are truly applying and following the Word as instructed by Jesus. Being a disciple means, not being lukewarm, where you have one leg on the Word and the other leg on the world. You are deceiving yourselves if you do. Examples of this is having a bf or gf, fornicating, "open marriage", partying all week where you get messed up, and doing light yoga. Yes, you can say you are a Christian while doing all said, but you are not a disciple of Jesus Christ. Going to service once a week and doing worldy acts all week does not make you a disciple, but yes, you may call yourself a Christian. Any thoughts?
