There is a difference between Punishment, Criticism
and Abasement, with ‘ordering around—’
And
Discipline, Correction and Guidance—
with ‘Exampling leadership.’
_______________________________
There is a dire need in Father’s house, heart, and people— to get the understanding out about the difference between these completely separate practices.
Many of us grew up with one set of those attributes and actions, or practices— and not the other.
Now, if you are on the Discipline side, and not the Punishment side— you have been very fortunate, as you grew up with leaders in your parents, family and adults who raised you— where your leaders led by good example.
But, if you grew up on the side of Punishment, versus Discipline— then, you grew up with leaders who did not lead by good example, but ordered you around with no structure, or love and guidance in your raising.
That is ROUGH for a child to grow up in; we need NURTURING from our parental figures when we are young and impressionable. If we don’t get that— a plethora of cascading issues arise within us, and our ‘nature.’
Have you ever heard of nature
versus nurture— from psychology?
Well, I am not going to go into all of that— but let me tell you this— if you do not have real godly love and nurturing growing up, and you are saddled with only punishment, orders, task oriented slavery like work loads— whether it is mental, emotional or physical— you will develop a ‘nature,’ and it will be a fallen nature, or broken nature— because you received not → NURTURING.
Our Father is a NURTURING Father, and he corrects and he disciplines— punishment, is not in his vocabulary for his obedient children— correction is, sow and reap is— but punishment, criticism, abasement and ordering one around WITHOUT EXEMPLIFYING, or giving example by his leadership, standard and way— is not.

_______________________________
Can we see major differences,
and reasons why one ‘way,’ is superior to the other in parenting,
or leadership??
Let’s break down, or compile some example
sentences with proper understanding.
_______________________________
If one grew up with Punishment— with criticism, abasement and ordering around (like a pharaoh), one would experience, and gain a ‘nature’ from…
Parental figures imposing and inflicting a penalty, as a retribution (a payback), through rough treatment, handling— like battering, mistreating, belting, manhandling and other means of harm to one’s person; as well as— one would experience— leadership, or parental figures acting in league with a spirit that indicates the faults of you, in a disapproving way, condemnation, attacking, scornful, deprecating (belittling), vilifying, badmouthing, lay into and skewer, or crucify and pummel you way.
As well as experiencing abasement, which is when one goes through the authority figure over you— behave in a way that belittles or degrades you— humiliates, demeans, degrades, lowers, mortifies, cheapens, disparages, reduces (like —licking someone’s boots); and causes you to feel and see yourself LOWER THAN, or LESSER IN IMPORTANCE and STATURE THAN— them, or others.
And you would have LACKED a good EXAMPLE and TEACHER/GUIDE or Leader.
_________________________________________
If you grew up under Discipline— with Correction and Guidance— with ‘Exampling leadership,’ you would have experienced and gained a ‘nature’ from…
A parental figure who exemplifies the practice of training you to— obey rules, or a code of behavior, by using rebuke (disapproval and reprimand) to correct your disobedience; and you would have gained your activities, or experience— by providing mental or physical training by them.
You would have gained a system of rules of conduct and structure, with ample explanations— that would have helped you gain knowledge and understanding— in a higher education.
They would have trained you up to do things, in a controlled and habitual way; they would have helped you to correct your own behavior out of nurturing you up in the way, in love and support— whilst they corrected, reproved and guided your behavior and character; you would have learned how to discipline your actions, and with the understanding of why.
You would have learned to MORTIFY YOUR FLESH, or as the root definition of disciplines says— ‘mortify yourself by your own scourging,’ or correct oneself in morals and conduct— via ‘instruction and knowledge.’
You would have grown up with correction, versus critically picking you apart to abase you; you would have grown up with parental figures who were attempting to set you free from error— in accordance with facts and truth.
They would have been helping you to meet the requirements of, and most appropriate conduct for— a particular situation or activity, by helping to conform you to accepted standards— proper conduct, character and discipline.
They would have been assisting you in putting right, countering and rectifying previous ill behavior and conduct, to adjust you into acting according to a standard of integrity of behavior and discipline.
Helping you to make adjustments in your person— to allow a departure from common or normal standards— to gain the upright conduct and standard of the Lord; or, as the definition of correct states— they would have been assisting and demonstrating to you, how to ‘made straight and amend’ your person, and to grow ‘together’ in ‘guidance’ of your person.
You would have had parents who were people who advised or showed you the way; they would have advised you, or informed you and aimed you in the right direction to resolve problems and difficulties— by exemplifying the sample, for example— themselves.
The would have been an authority figure in your life who lived what they preached and taught— by example— showing you ‘the way to be;’ they would have been directing your motions— advising, counseling, instructing, teaching, enlightening, leading, managing, supervising, handling and orchestrating your paths.
They would have been exemplifying the proper conduct— being the example of— like Yahshua did for all of us, in ‘showing us the way;’ they would have been illustrating, or demonstrating— by example— and would have made an attested copy of the ‘way to be.’
__________________________________________
I hope we can see a HUGE difference in these two ‘ways’ of conducting self, and others; one is in just doing, without regard of what it is teaching, exemplifying, or CONFORMING one into.
The other, is AWARE of what one is doing, teaching and exemplifying to another— as it LEADS in the ‘way to be.’
[Side note— he’s always telling me,
“I’m aware,”
and now this has a much deeper meaning
and understanding to me.
It’s more than “I know,”
it’s—
“I am fully understanding this, and why;
and I have compassion.”]
I say that because one way is full of NURTURE, or ‘raising up’ in the way to be; and the other is DEVOID OF NURTURING, or training in love, and with support of the person ‘inside.’
And I say that— because we have a plethora, or a MASSIVE AMOUNT of people, in the house of God, who need healing in the heart, and to KNOW GOD THE FATHER ‘properly,’ who were formerly shown— ‘an inferior example’ of a GOOD and godly PARENT; and his heart is breaking over this, and his need for A GOOD EXAMPLE— to be shown to his children, so they can KNOW HIM in ‘truth.’
We have a lot of people who are unable to love properly, and to know God properly— because they have had ZERO examples in their lives of humans operating like God, who exemplify HIS ATTRIBUTES and NATURE: and his nature, is to NURTURE his little ones.
His heart is breaking over the fact that his kiddos DO NOT KNOW HIM, as he is— because they have been raised in this fallen world, by a fallen nature; and the fallen nature does not operate in NURTURING.
Folks, as I sit here and write this out, type this out with him—
I am sitting here thinking…
“This is not anything I thought I’d be writing with you today Father; I had no idea you were taking us, THIS ROUTE.”
And I say that, because he has me still on the topic of discipline, and SEPARATION, as that will be the next thing we write on, because he’s taking us into understanding— WHY we need to ‘come out from among them,’ and ‘be separate.’
But right now— he is going over this ‘broken state’ that his people are in, because they have been lacking, and devoid in NURTURING; not as the world coddles people and acquiesces to their EVERY DESIRE— but good, loving and proper GUIDANCE BY EXAMPLE and LOVE— in their lives.
He has been telling me for quite some time that….

A Word from the Father
___________________________________________________
“They have grown up in defunct families, Janet. They are broken down inside, torn up, abased, diminished and flat, child.
They need REBUILDING, sweetheart; you understand this. This is what we have been doing in your very own heart for quite some time now— rebuilding you back into the image I originally made you in, because it was TORN DOWN in many ways, and by many offenders of my ways.
I need to rebuild my children, inside, Janet;
and that is HEALING WORK, child.
Healing work is to go back in, see the offended areas, the mistreatments and the ill example of how I conduct my person toward my children— and REBUILD the ‘proper’ conduct there in those memories— by showing them my person NOW— in proper form as ‘the Father.’
Many of my children want to do the work, but do not know me in my loving, nurturing, long-suffering, non criticizing NATURE; all of my attributes are good, and are easily entreated, child.
But when they have been ‘shown another way,’ they have TRUST ISSUES, dear one; and with trust issues— they have a difficult time coming to me, easily talking with me, being accountable for their errors and wrong doings— because in their ‘pasts,’ with others— and they were PUNISHED FOR TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY, or being ‘found out.’
I am not like this, and I already know all things; I am just wanting them to understand they can come to me with ALL THINGS, and I will hear the matters out, and I will set out to help them RECTIFY the problem areas, and offenses— IN LOVE and SUPPORT.
I am ALL CAPABLE, and I am LONG in PATIENCE and FORGIVENESS— and forthwith in giving UNDERSTANDING; I have compassion for my children, child— as a GOOD FATHER does.
But they need to be ‘able to’ SEE ME as such; I am not a tyrant— that is the ‘other guy,’ and he has raised MANY— who have, in turn— raised many of my babies.
I WANT TO STEP IN, and RAISE THEM UP (and nurturing them is part of that) NOW— PROPERLY— and in LOVE and GUIDANCE, by ‘my’ example.
Because, dear one— many ‘issues’ arise, when one does not know me properly, and does not TRUST ME (which is faith in me) properly; issues like, ‘addiction,’ and ‘self abusive’ ways.
Yes— it is a heavy topic, once again;
but one I need addressed, child.
We have been addressing for quite some time now— demonic strongholds within; we have been exposing the ‘seat of satan’ within man, in the hidden places and lies; and like that— I want to expose another ‘place’ that satan can inhabit men and women: The NATURE of man.
Let us define ‘nature’ first; please go grab the dictionary definition child, and paste it below.
[Definition nature— the physical collective,
that is— the carnal material, and the force of its regulation;
the basic or inherent features of something—
especially when seen as characteristic of it.
The innate or essential qualities or character of a person
or animal; the characteristics as an influence on or determinant of personality.
Root definition—
Middle English (denoting the physical power of a person):
from Old French, from Latin natura ‘birth, nature, quality’,
nat- ‘born’, from the verb nasci.]
Can we see, child, that the ways in which we are ‘raised,’ are detrimental, or critical in determining the NATURE in which one will acquire to CONDUCT SELF IN, and WITH??
And what I mean is— if we are raised up in a way that is defunct and deficient in my ways— the child will then grow to be an adult— who is defunct and deficient in my ways— and there is only one other way to go, and that is
→ ‘the way of fallenness.’
One will not have KNOWN MY WAYS, and so, one will fall into brokenness, or fallenness— from being taught up, raised up, and immersed in— the fallen examples of parenting; and in that— they will develop ‘coping strategies.’
This is NOT my desire,
or way to raise my children;
I do not give coping strategies—
I wish to help my children
→ TAKE DOWN THE ENEMY.
Coping strategies are the methods in which the fallen kind love, and those who have grown up without my example or parenting— run to.
Let’s define ‘coping mechanisms,’ from the dictionary, child.
[Coping mechanisms— an adaptation to an environment, and the stress that is based on conscious or unconscious choice— that enhances control over behavior or gives psychological comfort.]
Can we see that this way of ‘being,’ is actually— ACQUIESCING TO the enemy; allowing him to REMAIN, continue to AFFLICT and cause HARM TO my children??
I do not want my children to ADAPT TO THE DEMONIC ENVIRONMENT that has been erected in their lives and persons; I want to ERADICATE THEIR PRESENCE, and VOICE from their lives and person— ENTIRELY.
I do not want psychological coddling—
I want my kids SET FREE, and
‘comforted’
→ BY ME!
I don’t want their behaviors to be
‘controlled by’ controlling forces,
and situations THAT REMAIN.
I want them to be IN A NEW ENVIRONMENT, with a NEW UNDERSTANDING of ME, inside of them, knowing who I REALLY AM, and HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM, and how I did not, and would not have raised them and did those things to them— and I want to show them, and GIVE THEM— ‘another way,’ and by and with— MY PERSON and EXAMPLE of a ‘loving Father.’
And in that— the ‘stressful environment,’ within them— will fall away, along with the voices that speak lies to them, and reinforce the traumas of old that happened to them— will be cast out; as well, the self deprecating voice, of SELF ABASEMENT, or SELF DESTRUCTIVE → WORTHLESSNESS— will fall away as well.
And in this NEW WAY, ‘my’ way— my children will step out of the ‘other guy’s ways’ and nature that were taught, exemplified and endured— and A NEW WAY, and a NEW NATURE of NURTURING, from the ‘Father above,’ will TAKE ROOT within them.
They must go back into scripture, child, and they must KNOW ME for who ‘I said’ I was; and for all the long-suffering stories and examples of my person that I am.
They must go back into scripture and SEE that in all the big stories, I gave many instructions, and with MUCH GUIDANCE— this is LOVE, and this is NURTURING; I need man to partner with me, and I PROMISE— I am faithful to be ‘good’ to man.
I LOVE my children, and I want NOTHING MORE THAN for them to RETURN TO ME; this is salvation, child.
And one of the ways in which I desire for them to ‘return to me,’ is IN HOW THEY ‘know me’ to BE; and especially, how they know me to be— ‘toward them.’
Because, child— I love them; and I desire for them to KNOW LOVE, TRUE LOVE— not the world’s definition of love.
Issues that they fall into, child— addictions of drugs, food, pornography, entertainment, other people, animals and nature, books, music, and any OTHER THING, that is NOT ME— is for ‘escape,’ dear child.
They are wishing to ‘escape’ some → THING, or SOME ONE, or SOME MEMORY, etcetera; and I do not wish for my children to escape to any ‘thing,’ or any ‘one,’ who is NOT ME.
In fact— I don’t wish for them to ‘escape’ into another reality and coping strategy, at all; I wish for them TO COME TO ME, and allow ME— to embrace them, and NURTURE THEM, and PARENT THEM— within TRUTH.
Because you see, it is when we EMBRACE TRUTH, and that is me— I am TRUTH— we can be SET FREE from the LIES, or the ‘inferior,’ and ‘corrupt,’ that has set itself against us— and desires to take us DOWN TO THE GRAVE, in one way or another.
I AM LIFE— and
I AM LIFE ‘more’ ABUNDANTLY.
That is to say, come out of ‘death,’ and the death WAYS; come out of those FALSE REFUGES that promise to ASSIST YOU,
→ but they DO NOT, and they WILL NOT ‘nurture you,’ even if they promise you some ‘distraction’ and momentary ‘escapism.’
In the end— it leads to the grave, either figuratively/spiritually— or literally/physically.
Children— I desire for you to BRING IT ALL TO ME, and I will help you all sort these matters; I am GREATER than ‘he,’ who desires to lead you in the flesh, and fallen brokenness.
I promise you that.
I desire to SET YOU FREE, and that— comes through KNOWING ME; literally— by knowing who I am, what I bring to you, and how powerful that really is, to have ME— in your lives, and in your minds and hearts.
For I will burn out every ‘other thing’ that tries to LIVE THERE WITH ME; I share an abode with NO ENEMY, ONLY THOSE I AM IN LEAGUE WITH (that is covenant with), and children— it is the enemy that ENSLAVES YOU— not me.
I am FREEDOM FROM the enemy—
and his torment— that comes when one is
‘in league with’ → him.
Addictions to things and people and deeds— are escapism— and escapism into the ‘arms of another.’
And that breaks my heart dear children— as I watch my ENEMY, take your hand, LIE TO YOU, and DESTROY YOU continuously— in one way or another.
And all because you have ‘been through’ a lot, and have ‘endured’ a lot, and wish to LEAVE THAT STUFF, and the MEMORIES OF IT ALL— behind, and HEAL; BUT— you do not believe, that I BELIEVE → you are ‘worth it.’
The thing is— ‘he—’ cannot help you with that, nor will his methods, long term— but I WILL HELP YOU with GETTING RID OF HIM, and HIS INFLUENCE; in fact, all those coping mechanisms, are you EATING OFF HIS TABLE STILL, that’s HIS COUNSEL and METHODS— and that, dear children— is a SPIRITUAL LIABILITY.
{Liability— a legal, responsible debt; a PERSON’S PRESENCE that is a hindrance, disadvantage, an impediment, or obstacle.}
It is spiritually in alliance and league with him, and his options still— and we have to BREAK YOU FROM HIS GRIP and INFLUENCE; and in that, the only place you will find yourselves— is in MY ARMS, and MY PRESENCE.
For I am the ONLY ONE who is ‘opposite of’ HIM; and in me— IS YOUR FREEDOM FOUND.
His ‘ways of escape—’ and conduct → bring BONDAGE, children; my ways of ‘holiness, love and guidance,’ with ‘reproof’ and with ‘correction of path—’ bring FREEDOM and WHOLENESS.
And ‘that,’ dear child typing this by my Spirit— IS WHAT I AM AFTER: ‘wholeness,’ or BEING COMPLETE IN CHRIST.
That is salvation from all the bondage— that is ‘coming out of’ EGYPT; that is leaving satan, and his ways and coping strategies of ‘how to do life—’ BEHIND; and that is— TAKING THE HAND OF THE FATHER OF ‘lights’ once again, and WALKING A NEW PATH: the path of righteousness, with ME.
Please release this, Janet— in both a written and recorded format; I wish to get this to my children— for I desire to DELIVER many.
There are those who are READY to do the work with me, INSIDE— and ‘face off with’ the enemy— and with me, PUT HIM OUT.
I need them to know ‘how they do this with me,’ is by GETTING THE TRUTH IN, and living WITH, and BY the Truth— which is me; it is ME— at my innermost core of who I am— the truth about my person, nature, and my desire to reunite with my children and KICK OUT THE ENEMY, within them.
And he is all coiled up in their memories, and worth-less-than I see them; he’s in their thoughts and perceptions of themselves— and he wishes to TAKE THEM OUT with and through → ‘coping mechanisms,’ of addictions and strategies that are NOT my ways— and fruits of iniquity— sin, at that.
I SEE THEIR PAIN, and
I SEE what all they have endured—
but, child—
I have ‘a better way.’
That better way— is to live in TRUTH, and WITH ME— and ditch that guy, and his ways— and plow that tough path, that tough ground work with me; for I am lowly, humble, loving, long-suffering, compassionate, strong, able and WILLING.
I love them—
and
I WANT THEM BACK.
He has ‘had them’ now, for far too long; and the way back, dear children— IS THROUGH THE TRUTH, and facing the truth of things, and the PAIN— ‘head on’ with your GOOD Father.
It is not easy, or pain free—
but it IS— LIBERATING WORK.
Please, come and co-labor this life you have been given, with me— because → I FIND YOU ARE ‘worth it.’
And → I love you.
I have always loved you— even if no one else has; and I always WILL LOVE YOU— no matter what you bring to the table to sort out.
I will help you; I will guide you, and I will do it all by my example. I will demonstrate MY CHARACTER, and MY ATTRIBUTES toward you— as you bear all before me.
You see, if we ‘hide from’ one another— the enemy remains in our lives; I am no one, that anyone needs to hide from— EXCEPT MY ENEMIES.
Those who desire to KNOW ME AS I AM— will find me in my love, support, long patience, kindness, gentleness and counsel; I promise this.
I loved you so much— I found, and MADE a way for you to return to me; and I desire nothing more than— for you to RETURN TO ME.
Ditch that other guy, and all his bondage of coping mechanisms he brings with him, because in the end— it's there to take you down; and come to me— and we will ‘lay it all down,’ for my load— is light.
I desire to TAKE THESE THINGS FROM OFF YOUR SHOULDERS, and bear them myself; this is why my Son came and did what he did— to ‘make this way,’ possible for you. For you to be ABLE TO— reconcile with me, your Father— and help you with your LOAD, and LOT IN LIFE.
Janet, thank you— we are finished; I just want them to understand my heart— and that NOTHING is TOO BIG, TOO HARD, or OUT OF LINE for me to help them with— NOTHING.
I desire for them to BRING ALL BEFORE ME— and I wish to SET THEM FREE, by living the TRUTH, with THE TRUTH— and that is me, child.”
–your GOOD Father
______________________________
Wow y'all— I was typing and typing, and he just kept speaking his heart toward you all in this.
He really does want to help us all with this deliverance, this being set free from the grips of satan— and y’all— it’s all coming from his heart to RECONNECT WITH US ALL.
He’s wanting HIS KIDS BACK— and he’s wanting TO TEAR THE GRIP and arms of satan— OFF OF US ALL; this is how we do this folks.
We live ‘with’ him, ‘under’ him, in the ‘truth,’ and we don’t run to ‘escape’ anymore, in coping mechanisms— we MEET HIM WITH IT ALL, and we CHOOSE…
BY AN ACT OF OUR WILL, to UNITE with him, and HIS WAY of conduct, character, discipline, attributes— and HIS NATURE, and when we do that— WE ARE SET FREE by ‘the truth,’ and his PERSON.
He really is more than capable,
and he is WILLING.
Will you be willing too?
Will you come to him, bring it all, lay it at his feet, and sort it all out— BRAVELY with him??
Because all it requires is that you REALLY want to KNOW HIM, ALIGN with HIM and HIS WAY of ‘living,’ and face things now— and → LET GO OF SATAN’S HAND and ways.
It’s not easy— he didn’t say walking with him, in this fallen world run by satan— would be easy; but he did say, HE WILL HELP YOU, and that it would be WORTH that RECONCILIATION, that reconnecting with him.
Because there is ‘freedom’
in that → in him.
He, his person— brings BONDAGE BREAKING; and so, we need to come to the MOST COMPASSIONATE and UNDERSTANDING ONE there is— God Almighty, True and Loving.
He is more than capable— hence Almighty; he is more than relatable— hence Understanding and Compassionate; so please— REACH OUT TO YOUR FATHER WHO LOVES YOU ‘today,’ and reconnect to TRUE LOVE.
And folks— I mean not only REAL LOVE, not as the world loves us, or the undisciplined in HIS WAYS…
But I mean, a ‘true’ love—
in FIDELITY.
He will not cheat on you, or forsake you, or break up with you; he will HOLD TIGHT and STEADFAST TO YOU— in his love and loyalty.
Now— isn’t THAT— a GOOD lover, Father, big brother, Savior and FRIEND → that you WANT TO HAVE; and who will ‘have your back??’
That’s the One I ran to, when I decided to FACE UP, and FIGHT FOR MY LIFE, ‘with God,’ and not against God any longer; I wanted that impostor/fool out of my life, heart, mind, emotions, flesh and DEEDS.
I wanted God holy, loving and true— and I wanted to RESEMBLE that guy; and I wanted to RETURN TO HIM, for real.
If you do as well— just reach back toward him, he’s already knocking on your heart— to show you he’s willing, ready, and able.
HE WANTS YOU BACK!
Will you come to him, and bring it all??
Because he’s WAITING TO ‘receive you;’ he’s given you an INVITATION to ‘come, and see the King.’
