There is something about brothers and sisters of the Spirit being together. I spent 24 hours in Pacific Grove talking and praying with my friend Diane.
We did not pray with our eyes shut but in conversation. There was a sense of the spirit talking between us and it was not a "wouldn't it be neat if..." kind of conversation but one that continued to build between each other. I cannot explain it very well but it was more than great encouragement, even though it was, but more of listening and speaking truth to one another. It was not profound thinking but more like revelation. Glimpses.
Tonight, I was able to hear Rudy Carrasco speak in Fresno. The same thing took place. It was not just what he said, even though it was great, it was that a new thing was being revealed. A Glimpse. Again it is hard to explain. Not just an interesting idea, but a new way of seeing.
Jesus said, "consider the Ravens..." There is something to considering. It is of the Spirit. Stop and think. More than think but consider. Listen. Watch. Learn. Correlate. Contrast. Understand. Consider. Leave your doctrine for a second and allow the words to be fresh. Consider. Listen to the words. Forget all you thought you knew. Consider. Move from the place you always sit. Consider. Consider. Don't be religious. Consider. Try on a new shirt. Consider. Let the waitress order for you. Consider. Listen to a new radio station. Consider. Hang out with a person you don't like. Consider. Go to the Traditional service. Consider.
Rudy and Diane are catalyst for considering... They have had a huge impact in my life this week.
Hmmmmm?!!??!?!
