🔥 Revi’i 19, 6027 AA 🔥 – Not Denied, Just Disciplined

Scripture Focus: - “And you shall remember that YHVH your Elohim led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart…” — Devarim (Deuteronomy) 8:2

The remnant has heard “not yet” more than once. And many mistake delay for denial. But the truth is this: the desert is not your rejection — it is your refinement.

YHVH disciplines those He loves — not to destroy them, but to prove them. He’s not just giving you the promise — He’s preparing you for it. And that preparation sometimes feels like famine, fire, and silence. But it is love.

Discipline is Covenant Care

If He left you alone, you would crumble when the weight of purpose lands. But because He is faithful, He walks you through fire before entrusting you with rain. You are not being denied — you are being strengthened.

The wilderness was not to kill Israel — it was to expose the heart and crush Egypt’s residue. That is what He’s doing in you too.

The Delay is Prophetic

Delays are not random. They are timed. They are crafted. They are precise. When the moment comes, you will look back and realize: the waiting shaped you more than the answer ever could.

So don’t resent the delay. Don’t despise the fire. He has not denied you — He is disciplining the warrior within you to carry the Kingdom ahead of you.

Call to Action:

• Accept the discipline — it is covenant love in disguise.
• Stop interpreting delay as rejection. It is preparation.
• Let the fire remove the Egypt you didn’t know you carried.
