Praying Gods Word on Discipline
Scripture Prayer
Father, I want to thank you for loving me enough to show me when I am headed in the wrong direction. When I apply your word in my life, I will have peace, joy, hope, protection, healing and so much more.
Your word tells me “ Loving discipline is knowledge.” For the moment, discipline seems unpleasant, but it yields peaceful fruit of righteousness as I accept your training.
Your word is breathed through your Holy Spirit and you have made it profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training. You discipline me when I am wrong because you love me so much.
You have given me a spirit of power, love, and sound mind (self-control), we need never fear. Your word is living, active and sharper than any two-edged sword and it will pierce my heart and soul and joints. Your word also discerns the thoughts and intentions of my heart.
Because I respect you, your word fills me with knowledge, so when you speak to me, help me have listening ears and a receptive heart. Your word gives wise instructions and keeps me on the right path! Thank you Jesus! Thank you Father for your Word! Amen
God disciplines us because He loves us!
Bible Scriptures on God’s Loving Discipline
Proverbs 12:1
Whoever loves discipline
loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.
Hebrews 12:11
For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness
to those who have been trained by it.
2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power, love, and self-control.
Hebrews 12:6
For the Lord disciplines the one he loves and chastises every son whom he receives.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing
to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 8:33
Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it.
How do we deal with critisim??
Taking Critism is hard!
Weather it be constructive or other wise outright mean and vengeful.
I am learning, that being able to own up to actually "being wrong" can give me an oppourtunity for spiritual growth. I hope this jpeg flyer will help you think of a
positive way to deal with this matter.

Opportunity Acronym
Habakkuk 1&2
I received this verse today and I made it personal to me...... I have never read Habakkuk before. You never know why God leads you to read something; when you get there, then you oftentimes (like today for me) realize He had a word waiting for you: just for you - just for today!.. Thats how God works. He is awesome!
1 I will stand at my watch –and there I will WAIT; I will look to see what he will say to me,
2 Then the LORD replied: “Write down the vision-and make it plain on tablets(my - bfc- paintings and PowerPoint Lessons) so that a runner (me - bfc) may run with it.-3 For the VISION awaits an appointed time; -it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it seems to be slow, WAIT for it; it will certainly come and will not delay. Habakkuk 2:1-3

Word and Vision for 2022 -LOGO- We are His Workmanship-Ephesians 2:10
Excited!
I was praying about what to work on today, this last day of 2021 and wanted to share a few things with ya'll.
1. I give God all the praise for increasing our viewings on this website in the very last month of the year, and even during the holiday season. I try to keep track of visits every so often, not for numbers so much, as seeing that God is using it to my amazement! Last year we had almost 35,000 hits on the site. Thank you Jesus! Total since beginning is 125,000.
2. As I commented prior this posting and on our Private Women FB Page, the painting that I newlty started in December 2021 has something to do with His plans for me, just did not know what all of it entales at this time.
3. I received the foundation verse and a start on the logo for the year (Picture you see on this posting - rough draft for now). Its a work in progress, as is, this entire growth process for 2022. I pray, a lot of you will come along side me and take this "new growth" journey.
4. I am also posting a PDF for some great articles and verses I found that builds upon this verse and 2022 vision for growth via using art.
Join us for zoom bible studies in the book of Acts starting 1-20-22 every Thursday evening at 7 pm and I will do my best to finish by 8:15 and no later than 8:30; I know most of you work and I understand you are tired when getting home.
You can join our private ministry FB page if you ask me to be your freind on FB, then I will invite you to our group.
