"He wept over them... He was with His disciples... He was making Himself vulnerable before them... that is the vulnerability that you share with your intimates the disciples and they then are experiencing your heart and did they not have the same heart when they went on in the ministry?"

"But those two verses basically share that both child and parent are under the same master. In other words, they're under the same creator, but they have different roles. The role of the parent is to shepherd, to train, to teach. The role of the child is to obey. You don't know any better, you have to learn. You have to be a pupil, you have to be discipled, and then, when you grow like an apprentice and a master, you start learning the tricks of the trade and the master's gonna teach you. And then you get to be as your master, or like as your master. Well, you can do all of those things on your own, but children are called to obey their parents."

"When you're parenting, you have to be prepared to swim upstream, because our culture is not on board with our authority And our culture sometimes can be in the body of Christ, our family members. You know my mom and dad. My mom was a disciplinarian, but I heard from the kids thank God I didn't hear this one. I was dealing with the kids, but their nickname for me was drill sergeant. My parents named me that towards the way I treated the kids. Yet the comment was always that our kids were very well-behaved."

"But did you catch what it said afterward? And the fear of the Lord came upon them all. Because they saw God's not playing. You can't do that in front of God's face, in front of everybody, and think that God is not gonna deal with you and have you get away with it. No, he's gonna make an example out of you. If he has to, he will make an example out of you. That's why sometimes it's good for the children to know in your house that this child got disciplined for this reason. Now don't you guys go do the same thing, or the same thing is gonna happen to you. That's the way it should be in your home."

"The quality conversations not only take up quality time. They take up quantity time. They take up time. We have to recognize that the time requires flexibility, because if they don't share their hearts on a demand schedule. In other words, when you want them to share your heart, their heart, they're not going to do it on demand. And since they're not going to do it on demand, we as parents have to be flexible. We have to be flexible because there are times where your son or your daughter Is going to come at you at a moment that you were not expecting and if you're too distracted and busy with something else that's going on in your life, you might miss that opportunity to talk with them when they're ready to talk with you.

"There's a lot of people, maybe half of America, that have a problem with capital punishment. I have a problem with capital punishment because it's not executed in the way that it was told to execute. It said because a sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily. It means immediately. Well, what happens? The heart of the sons of men are fully set to them to do evil, because when you execute discipline speedily it acts as a deterrent. But if you elongate that process and they're waiting two, three, four, five, six, seven years, who's gonna be afraid to to to break the law? Nobody!"

"If we remain in the circle of honoring and obeying our parents, this circle of submission to parental authority, then we're good, we're safe, we're going to thrive, we're going to have long life, we're going to have promises fulfilled. But if we go outside that circle of submission to parental authority, we're going to find difficulty, we're going to find hardship because we're being disobedient. And if children can grasp that understanding that if they remain under the shadow of His wings they will be blessed, they will be cared for, they will be protected when they were attacked and didn't know they were getting attacked. But when they walk out from under that submission they're basically saying God, no, I want to do it my way. And when you do it your way, you run the risk of suffering the consequences for what it means to do it your way."

"When children are little, we fail to engage them in significant conversations. Why? Because it's easier. It's easier to just say something and be done with it, not wait for a response from your child, not try to have a dialogue about it. It's easier to just say to your child blub, blub, blub, blub and that's it. It's a lot longer, it takes longer, it's more involved to actually dialogue with your child and try to get a significant conversation going. You know, and sometimes our children they answer with the uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh and they don't want to have a dialogue about it because they're probably just upset, that they just got paddled and they don't wanna hear you or listen to you. But sometimes you gotta come back later, when things have settled, when the dust has settled, and then have the conversation. So sometimes we had to learn that."

"If we're not interested in them when they're young, if we don't care really what they think or what they have to say when they're young I'm saying it to all the listeners here what do you think is gonna happen when they become adolescents or teenagers? If you have been kind of ignoring their thoughts and feelings on different matters, or maybe you've been ignoring their questions where they were really wanting to understand why, why, why, if you've been doing it for 13 years of their life and then they become teenagers, if you haven't been listening to them, they're not gonna wanna listen to you.

"As parents, God has given us a duty to perform, and we are to bring commandments that they're not familiar with. We are to bring reproof of instruction regarding their way of life. But one of the things that some parents falter in this area is that they recognize God has given them a duty to perform and they want their child's endorsement. The child's endorsement is not necessary. All a parent needs to know is that this is what God requires of me as a shepherd over our children."

"Again, one of the misguided conceptions of parenting is that disciplining should be a time when mom and dad manipulate their children through outbursts of anger and displays that cause the child to fear Because you can, and you can easily do that with children. You can make children very afraid very quickly, easily as a parent, and that's not something you want to do. We're not. Parenting is not trying to establish a fear of man in children, because that is only going to produce performance again. It's not about performance. And if a parent does do that in a misguided way, what that teaches the child is to learn to fear man and not God, which is actually opposite of everything that shepherding a child's heart is about. We're trying to teach them how to fear God, and let fearing God be what motivates them intrinsically to do what that thing. That is right.

"You're trying to discipline, to bring your child back into right relationship with God And you're bringing about a restoration, because anytime anyone sins and you're separating themselves from God. So you want to do it in an attitude of restoration of your child back into right relationship with God. So discipline is, then, remedial. It's designed to move the child who has disobeyed God back into the path of obedience, which brings restoration And that brings about righteousness, That brings about peace, because you've rescued them from the path of danger and destruction and you've brought them onto the pathway of holiness or righteousness."

So we choose where we end up, and that's something else that he really highlights, which will get into as we continue on in this is that we can neglect that we choose. We are an active agent in what goes on in our life. So when mom and dad set boundaries and say you need to work within the confines of these boundaries or else something is gonna happen. Well, that's on you now, because you clearly were were told, hey, if you stay under the shadow of our wings, favor blessing. You know You're gonna have all the things you do.

"There's too much stuff going on where your children are going off in a direction that you never, ever, thought they ever would. It was not even on. Like if you made a list of a hundred things that you were worried about. It wasn't even on that list and all of a sudden, your child went into that because you didn't stop something that you knew was going to be detrimental. You have to and then explain it to the child, and it doesn't matter how you explain it to the child. More than likely your child, already being addicted, will not care what you have to say and will not take into consideration what you have to say and will probably be resented for a long time.

Sometimes I still have to check myself now and again. But having not, if I have not had that experience firsthand, it probably wouldn't hit so hard home, but it does for me because I know, yeah, it can happen. It happened to me and I was, I'm, and I was A student. I was very responsible in my academic. That was actually an argument she made, like I'm an A student and I'm doing this and that.

"But when we truly repent, when it's sincere and when it's genuine, it's because it has this element or this attribute, an aspect, as I read it "in meekness, instructing those that oppose themselves. If God, peradventure will give them repentance." What? "To the acknowledging of the truth." That's right. Maybe because sometimes you hear ,and I'm just using my kids because it's a great example you hear the sorry, you hear it, but then they keep doing it over and over again. Well they weren't really sorry! They're sorry, they got caught. But if they were really sorry, even if there were tears of remorse, if they were really sorry, like a sorry is really meant, they wouldn't do it again. Because they would recognize that what they did is what caused the offense, the hurt, and so they were... They would try their best not to do it again. But that's the same way with God.

The following was presented to lay a foundation concerning the importance of an individual's response to the gospel of the kingdom of God. There are those with a heart like the wayside ground, others like that of the stony ground, others like that of the thorns, and those precious few who are of good ground. It's imperative for us to understand what makes us the type of individual described by each ground, so that we may discern and decide which type of individual we desire to be. These teachings are intended to nurture, instruct, and help you understand what the Lord has said in His Word that you may walk in the manner worthy of your calling in Him. We pray that you are blessed, not merely in the hearing, but more so in the doing. Simply put, our utmost desire is to be in the Father's heart, to know the Father's heart, and express the Father's heart to you. For more information, please visit https://www.ourfathersheart.org/ .
