By Jove I think I've got it!!

These past few days sinse getting this revelation of faith, it is like my eyes and everything has been openned. When I hear certain preachers now they resinate, I think, "Yes, I've got it too!" Sadly others, make me realise they haven't got it!! When I hear certain worship songs, they resinate too. It's what they have all been trying to tell me all along!!

God's Spirit is so gentle. He has been telling me and telling me so gently. I could kick myself for taking so long to get it, but then the Holy Spirit is perfect and He decided to take this long for it to sink in!!

A pastor at a previous church used to say that he was in the final revelation for the church! Yet looking back he missed the big one! He wasn't in the "Trust God," nature. He was in the "trust God" words, but it hadn't become his nature. He didn't naturally trust God. He would say, "Trust God " and then act and speak inways that showed he didn't really and fully. Yet there are some many out there who do. The wheat and the tares.

I was watching a guy last night who, my descernment, tells me, has become an expert in impersinating others who have it. That is no bad thing. Pauls tells us to be impersinators of those who have it! That is how we get it. By the continuous repertition of word and action.

How do we learn to drive a car? How do we become the kind of people who drive to the shops and then can't remeber a single thing about the journey? We drive like it is part of our nature to drive. We get there through continual word and action. We start of with the word dril, "Mirror, singal, maneuver!" When say that as we go through the actions. Now we do it with out having to think about it. If we do think about whether we did it right, it becomes scary, "Oh, I wonder whether I checked my mirror!!"

Trusting God, needs to be in our nature, it needs to become automatic. Not automatic in the sense of when it's needed but continuously, like breathing and blinking. I ofetn joke when people say they have pain when they breathe, I say, "Have you tried not breathing, see if that works!!" You can't stop breathing, you can't stop blinking. I really hope that I can't stop trusting God!!
