Discipline is a part of God's plan in our lives. Progress and growth in the Kingdom is rewarded by pruning and discipline. (John 15) Pruning and discipline does not come out of bad circumstances, it is His voice. His voice brings healing and wholeness. The purpose of His discipline is to bring us into His holiness.
You need to draw near to the voice of the Lord for your sake, not to minister to others. In 1 Kings 18, Elijah humbled himself before the Lord in prayer and seven times asked the servant to look for a cloud as a sign of God answering his prayer. On the 7th time, there was a cloud the size of a man's hand, but that was all the encouragement Elijah needed. Elijah was leaning into the Lord and didn't need great signs to believe God.
We need to find a realm in life where there is no cloud in the sky and then become possessed by promise!
