Have you ever been REBUKED by the Lord?
I remember as a teen being rebellious and not wanting to go to church for a special service one day, and didn't. My mom went on ahead and minutes later, I got a call from pastor's wife. She wasn't rude, she didn't yell...she just talked and asked me why I didn't come. By the end of the call, I was bawling so hard my eyes got swollen and I walked to church and got there in time. I know it wasn't her who did the rebuking ..
Later on in life, a few years ago, I was visiting another church. Got uppity in spirit and wouldn't praise with every one. I just sat there, looking at folks, forgetting I was in God's house. It wasn't MY church so I didn't "join in". Well, right after the congregation calmed down and the preacher started preaching...the Holy Spirit moved and my heart was POUNDING and fire was in my belly so that I couldn't sit still. I was a bit embarrassed and tried to play it off. Yeah, riiight.... I starting praising and crying all by myself. After my lil "praise break" I opened my eyes and saw the pastor nodding and smiling as if he expected the "interruption". Church as silent for a minute. lol I knew I got rebuked in the spirit and since that day never operated in that way in service....
Anyone ever got rebuked by God, through someone or a memorable event?

Re: Have you ever been REBUKED by the Lord?
@ Laela It's good for you that you didn't get 'knocked' out lol,
temporary hijack:
I remember my mom said she didn't know about all that dancing if it's 'really' of God well chile like you, the fire of God touched her and I NEVER saw her move like that, she didn't know what to do with herself, when God was was finished her wig was twisted, lol.... Not another question about the dancing really being of God...
Now back to the question...

Re: Have you ever been REBUKED by the Lord?
A few years ago my mother-in-law told a bold faced lie on my mother. The lie was so obvious that my husband told his mother flat out that he didn't believe her and called my parents to apologize for his mother's behavior. When I approached my mother-in-law about the lie the conversation got out of hand and I told her that she was a rude, nasty and disrespectful person. Well, she said she feels the same way about me, told me to have a nice life and hung up the phone. The next day I was ok and convinced in my mind that I was right, she was wrong and she should pay dearly for making my life miserable and lying on my mother. The day after that....smh....I was sitting under the hair dryer at the hair salon and the Lord was dealing with me to the point that all I could do was sit there and say, "Yes, Lord." My heart was pounding and I felt so uncomfortable. I knew that something had to be done. That night she and I talked on the phone. Initially, she was very cold, but I got her talking. During our conversation she was justifying her actions towards me over the years. My flesh wanted to tell her that she was wrong, but the Lord wanted me to be silent. So, I was silent. I listened to her and at the end of our conversation I knew that I had been in the wrong. For years I had been bitter and I resented her and my feelings towards her was hindering my relationship with God. I had been waiting for God to do something grand to show her that she was in the wrong, but God told me that just like he had been patient with me, he had to be patient with her too. Going forward I have been more mindful of not letting bitterness and resentment build up and of not thinking of myself as being a better Christian than she is.

Re: Have you ever been REBUKED by the Lord?
Yes I have been rebuked and it's quite embarassing. I try and live life as good as I can but there are still issues within that bubble up to the surface and rear their ugly head. I incident here as I don't want to go to deep on some my of rebukes have really made me grow. Sometimes I have the tendency to say things that I forget can be taken a different way. Well in recent something was taken in a way I didn't want it to but I guess if I really look at what is in a woman's heart will come out and it hurt someone a bit. God dealt with me because I desire never to hurt anyone. I had to think why do I feel this way and it's because of pride. I hate to see that but it's good in order to grow.
Another incident was I was told I was a mean person. It really made me dig deeper as I know I'm not a mean person but I it checked some of my attitudes and presentation. Both rebukes is and has helped me to change my mind and be more of what God wants.

@ Laela - I will repost it. I am very hesitant sometimes to post on the forum. I am never sure how my posts will be received.

Only post what you feel comfortable posting but don't worry about what people will think about you. I know its easier said than done but you are free. No people bondage.

I read your post before you deleted it and you have nothing to worry about. I found it to be a blessing to see other Christians grow in Christ.

Re: Have you ever been REBUKED by the Lord?
here is one that is similar to Laela's
a while back at church, my pastor was ministering to people and everyone who she prayed for was falling to the ground including the ones she didn't touch, I was like I'm not falling to the ground if she prays for me ...well she got to me and as she layed hands on me I immediately tensed and stenched and squared my feet (though she wasn't pushing me) I wasn't receptive to what she was saying it showed in my posture ....
after she prayed for me came the rebuke she made an announcement, please don't quench the spirit you are not going against me but the spirit of God ...everyone that night experience a move of God except me whether they fell backwards or not. And I was angry at myself for 'missing' out I got all fleshy God showed up and because I wasn't open to him I left that service wanting and angry at myself...
I repented and promised God that I would never do that again, that I would be receptive to his messenger and however he wanted to show up I would never leave another service without experiencing Him ...
