I knew that the plant applications were not the most popular thing I had ever asked of anyone but I was not aware of just how much people actually disliked it. This weekend Ann Marie asked me to attend a Prayer Room Directors Meeting in Orlando. I did not want to go but we did. She told me when we got there that she was believeing I would hear something that would encourage me or give me direction or just a God thing for my life. I did and thus brings the release of everyone from doing anything else with the plants. No I am not quiting. I will continue to learn thoroughly. The speaker while waiting on people to open their Bibles said that too many Christians are chugging down the milk of the word and never get to the meat of the word. My inner man was stirred immediately with that's what I had done with Galatians 6:9,10 on Friday. I had chugged it down and moved on to the next thing. I will spare you the details but I should not and do not want to be on milk. I want the meat of the word and that translates into learning more thoroughly for me.
I came in this morning and asked God for a confirming word to my thoughts. I played roullett and opened my Bible to Hebrews 5 and verse 13 was already circled. For everyone who continues to feed on milk is obviously inexperienced and unskilled in the doctrine of righteousness, that is, of conformity to the divine will in purpose, thought and action, for he is a mere infant not able to talk yet! But solid food is for full grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to the divine or human law.
He also said that we need to admit that we don't believe before we can believe. I touched on this briefly in a previous blog but I guess forgot to admit it. If I truely believed I would not be uneasy, anxious or worried or have soulish days. Maybe a moment or two but not days. So I admit that I don't really believe. I can't promise to finish in the time frame some are expecting. For me I must stick with it til I chew these verses enough to get all the flavor they hold. Jesus repeats His thoughts too many times for me to give it a lick and a prayer and call it done.
APPLICATION- Say Goodby to your plants and we'll plant them in one of the planter boxes so that they remain as part of the story of Onething.
Well, I was liking it a lot, I wish i hadnt come in so late, I feel kinda cut short, Would it be ok if i kept going?
