So many put that experience in a future tense, I see it being made available to us in the now continued transformation within us.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630150578438657112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120369.post-31977769134344597912008-10-27T11:46:00.000-04:002008-10-27T11:46:00.000-04:00Rich,Excellent post.

I think, far too often in "Christiandom" the word "phrophetic" is thrown around and used as lingo not only incorrectly and falsely, but destructively and in deception of the Truth about what it is, what it's meant to do, and how it "lives" and "is."<BR/><BR/>Love what you say here: "...the courage to let yourself be spoken. This courage comes only through faith in God, who utters no false word."<BR/>AND...<BR/>"One thing I know for sure, “there is no way we can straight jacket the Holy Spirit no matter how much we would sometimes like to. The Holy Spirit is the bearer of gifts and these gifts are sometimes lavished in peculiar places.”<BR/> <BR/>Good stuff, Rich. <BR/> <BR/>Blessings,<BR/>~Amy :)<BR/>http://amyiswalkinginthespirit.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120369.post-69948381865881948452008-10-26T19:17:00.000-04:002008-10-26T19:17:00.000-04:00Yes your sooooo right , let it be just as you have...Yes your sooooo right , let it be just as you have said !Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04073390714770168329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120369.post-92103603897586052482008-10-26T19:04:00.000-04:002008-10-26T19:04:00.000-04:00Ruth,I so appreaciate how Father encouraged you th...Ruth,<BR/><BR/>I so appreaciate how Father encouraged you through these thoughts, He is so good!<BR/><BR/>The Word of God is being revealed to us in Christ, just as that Word bcame flesh and lived here with us, that Word is being fleshed out in us as us. <BR/><BR/>The message of the Good News aka the Gospel will pursuade no one unless it has so penitrated us that we are transformed by it.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630150578438657112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120369.post-9943690113234166872008-10-26T17:58:00.000-04:002008-10-26T17:58:00.000-04:00HI Rich,Some very good thoughts here and thanks fo...HI Rich,<BR/><BR/>Some very good thoughts here and thanks for your writing of them. <BR/><BR/>I liked the idea that we wait for God to make clear to us what He wants to say through us. (Of if we would all remember this! ) It involves patience, attention, and courage. (and faith too). <BR/><BR/>We as a family a few weeks ago were talking about favorite scripture(s) and mine was this particular one on the demoniac. I remember reading it at the time and thinking, 'wow, Jesus didn't take him with Him on the boat.' That was my initial thought of course ...<BR/><BR/>I believe, even though I am sure he wanted to go with Jesus, and may have been disappointed in that, the fact that this man was truly changed and delivered was the greatest witness to not people he may have never met, but to those whom he had previously lived amongst day after day. <BR/><BR/>We often fail to see value in that truth. We think in our limited understanding that God's greatness is 'less revealed' in our everyday day2day, but there was no denying particularly by those this man had lived amongst, how great this miracle was and truly this was a changed man. <BR/><BR/>God Bless you Rich,<BR/>RuthRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04073390714770168329noreply@blogger.com
