The Pain of Discipline Over Pain of Regret
WHEN YOU Series pt. 3
INTRO: All 3 areas we’ve been discussing require DISCIPLINE
A] Throughout Scripture: He disciplines us – then we DISCIPLINE our bodies.
Psalm 94:12 Blessed is the one you discipline, LORD, the one you teach…
Jack Hayford, “You can’t cast out the flesh or discipline a demon.”
John MacArthur, “True faith is never seen as passive – it is always obedient.”
RECAP from 2017: We cannot be filled with the Spirit and always giving into fleshly desires – it makes us very weak spiritually.
B] The message of self-denial is not POPULAR, but it is powerful.
Tom Landry – The job of a football coach is to make men do what they don’t want to do, in order to achieve what they’ve always wanted to be.
C] This message will set the stage for FASTING – lean, mean, fighting machine.
Failing to equip in this area, would be like the marines failing to equip soldiers.
D] We can’t go right into fasting without the FOUNDATION: Concrete before Wood.

Scriptural Support – ON THE SCREEN – Romans 6:16 NASB “Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death [regret], or of obedience resulting in righteousness [discipline]?”
Either way, we are slaves – “The pain of discipline over the pain of regret.”
2 Timothy 1:7 NIV For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
Yield to the Spirit: “I feel this desire coming up. I’m going to say NO, and yield.”
Titus 1:8 NIV Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
John Wesley required fasting so that leaders disciplined their appetites.
Wm. Penn, “No man is fit to command another who cannot command himself.”
1 Corinthians 9:26 NIV …I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
DISQUALIFIED: ineligible for an office because of infringement.

FASTING: Now that the stage is set, let’s present the Main Attraction –
Important Doctrines are always attacked – the Holy Spirit, inerrancy, holiness…
When Jesus tells us to do something, the outcome is good – More at WCFAV.org.
1 VERSE – Matt. 6:16 “Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. [Luke 5:35 – “they will fast”.] For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting.
