Isn't it shocking how much of the New Testament we use as a rule book when what the Lord wants is for us to truly sit at His feet and listen to Him? Do we refuse to do this because it's easier to read what the letter says than wait for the still, small voice speaking His Rhema and then obey?
How many times have we shut our ears from hearing His Voice speaking to us personally, because we would rather fill our minds with knowledge from the Bible, when this has never really changed us internally? I know I have - countless times. This has been my journey for the last three years. It is still ongoing and will most likely never alter. There is so much to unlearn. May He give us His grace.
There are few friends on the Way to freedom; most people would rather endure comfortable bondage in the arms of the System in the wide valley far below than experience the danger liberty offers. There, on the narrow path on the mountain it just keeps getting narrower until we have ditched every burden that drags us back and spend more time crawling on our knees than we do walking.
