listen and wait

Jesus didn’t call his followers leaders, he called them disciples.
If I learn to listen and to wait, I will see a lot of changes in my life.
Isn’t that the foundation for all learning.
In order to learn disciples have to forsake something and forget
about it.
Disciples are not victims who are trapped in somebody’s program.
They are healthy individuals who have learned to trust.
It’s all about agreeing about God’s right to these speedily passing
moments that connect the past with the future.
This is the moment when time touches eternity.
I obey now, not waiting for a more convenient moment.
Human intellect with all it’s complications and incredible
abilities is not capable to deal with the spiritual conflict
that man has been placed in.
Faith and sharing our faith, disregard of the support and acceptance
of our environment and circumstances, are far better tools
to deal with all these mobs of demons that continue
hanging around believers and churches.
“And though this world,
with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed
his truth to triumph through us.
The Prince of Darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo, his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.”
( A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, Martin Luther)
