Comments on: Again, can you hear the still, small voice? http://surrender-all-jessie.com/2010/02/05/again-can-you-hear-the-still-small-voice/ "After surrender - what? The whole of the life after surrender is an aspiration for unbroken communion with God."

I know we have chatted at length about this and fully come to the conclusion that we are to "be the leaf in the wind of the Holy Spirit" for Him to blow us where He will. After our chat, I have been thinking a bit more. When you watch a leaf being blown in the wind, it kinda just goes wherever and whenever the wind blows it. It obviously does not turn to the wind and say, "What are you doing and where are you blowing me and what are you blowing me for?" :-D You know what I am saying, and it sounds totally absurd for it to do that. Surely it sounds absurd for us to do the same with the Lord - it guess it is another version of the absurdity of a pot asking the Potter what does He think He is doing to shape it then break down when it is not quite to the Potter's making... :-D Bless you :-D Hi John :-D

Something I am learning right now is not to involve myself in what is His 'business' and what I mean by that, is after He has led me to speak to someone, not to then go away and then fret and focus on myself about the conversation and how 'I performed' for want of a better expression, but to leave it completely in His hands and know that He will do with it whatever He chooses and pleases. It is His glory. Such joy! Diane :-D The Lord will indeed give us the right words and the time in which to say them.

Even this morning, my pastor preached on the Gospel of John (posted it on my blog if you want to listen), where he went into detail about this issue. He pointed out how Jesus mentioned a number of times prior to chapter 13, how His time had not yet come. And yet in chapter 13 He speaks of His hour arriving. How wonderful it would be to be so in tune with the voice of the Spirit, that we would be able to discern not just between good and evil, but between good and perfect! God bless, John. :) Hi Steph,

I can very much relate to the woman in the bible study story you shared. I attend a women's bible study group and sometimes wonder why I even go...but I do not feel I am to stop going. There are not a lot of times I share what is on my heart, although I want to, but the timing does not seem to work out. Last Tuesday I was able to share for about a minute on The Good Shepherd and how He will not lose a single one of His sheep. Some of the ladies had questions on losing their salvation. I wanted to go on for about a half hour...but I just got that little bit of time. My flesh wants to think that was not good enough, nor thorough enough, but you are right in that we must trust God that He will not only give us the right words to speak but the amount of time in which to do it. Thanks for this encouraging word! God bless you. Hi Steph!

The glory to the Lord and the wonder of it is that you are open and ready to see yourself when HE shows you. It is in the attitude of heart towards Him and what He is doing with us, that we win battles. In His love, Steph Bless you dear brother.
