If they hear and serve Him, They shall end their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. I can live with that. In the Greek dictionary ploutos(discipline) ( ploo'-to

In my previous blog "Rights of passage to becoming a King Priest Warrior" we see that God does discipline His sons. Hebrews 12:4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood. and you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son. Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating me as a son. For what son is not discipline by his father? If you are not disciplined ( everyone undergoes discipline). then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. more over, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! Our fathers discipline us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

One of first thing that a man or woman endeavoring to walk as KPWarrior or QPWarroir must do is to discipline their mind and control the thoughts that come to them, thoughts are going to come from three sources God, yourself and satan. Discipline starts in your mind first, then all else will or should follow. Most of us have had someone say to us" what where you thinking" to do something like that, were did that thought come from in Philippians 4:8 Finally brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,whatever is right,whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things. It takes practice controlling your thoughts, with time it gets easier. Controlling your thoughts is a combination of speaking out of your mouth "I refuse to think like that or I resist that thought in the name of Jesus" you have to stay with it till it becomes a first response. You cannot cancel a thought with a thought..go ahead try it...see.. ok as I said before this is what you have to do. Romans 10: But what does it say the word is near you , in your mouth and in your heart-(incomplete verse) 2Corinthians 4:13 But having the same spirit of faith according to what is written, "I believed, therefore I spoke," we also believe, therefore also we speak;(incomplete verse) Ok this is a start for those who want to walk, this earth as an KPWarrior or QPWarroir. There is more to come until then. Read about my experiences in my e-book Angels:Heavens Bodyguards at www.tai-health.com
