In my self therapy blog, I get the opportunity to recall the events and insights that have made an indelible difference in my life. So for today I will recall the time I found out about my unbroken intellect. The concept I believe I discovered from an old Watchman Nee book.
.......................................................................................................................................................
How does one so little, thinks he knows so much?
We truly know so little yet act so competent. And when I say we, I mean me as well, the way we speak with such conviction with the authority of one who is all knowing is flibber flabber.
A while back I saw an advertisement where the entire thing was whispered. It was effective and I thought what if presidential candidates could only whisper during their debates, that would be different.
Authority needs not embellishment, truth is it's volume.
Like GOD sovereignty it is position. Pretty much GOD saying "I AM" says it all.
He is the one who opens and no one can close. That closes and no one can open.
GOD created all things by his authority. His Authority is his power. His authority is himself.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, is letting GOD have his rightful place in my life.
I take few steps with my mouth that I don't put the ted spin doctor to.
Remember the prayer " May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing Lord to you."
Bottom line; unchecked mouth=unchecked heart.
Typical ted thinks that since I am able to configure words from my head, I have the right to manipulate the words any way I want to make it most convincing, demanding as truth.
Unchecked mouth, unchecked heart, unchecked head.
Right about now the tune to the little chorus "Humble yourself in the sight of the LORD"runs through my head.
Isn't there within us the desire to communicate GOD the way he desires?
I know I would listen more and speak less. I would see more often what GOD was doing instead of just what I wanted to get done. I would enjoy the small common everyday delights he loves to point out. I would enjoy the freedom and peace of a shared submissive mind. And I would be better able to tune into the needs of others and a deeper relationship with GOD.
Lord forgive me for the multitude times I have thought and spoken unshared with you.
I need to live asking you what do you want said, done, thought, felt, given so as not to miss out watching you.
It's a stitch to see how GOD, when let in ,will change how and what things are spoken.
You often see the fruit of it immediately and you have the joy of submissive obedience in real time.
How do I know how GOD is working in my life?
Just by the way I changed the way I spoke to that person, so it was the way Christ wanted it said.
