One Voice

[Mayflower]

When I was fifteen and younger, life seemed more simple spiritually. I remember I just LOVED this version of the Children's Bible, and would read it over and over. Mom had to claw me away sometimes. Then I got saved when I was fifteen, and life may have been hard, but spiritually, I felt like Mary, able to just rest at the feet of Jesus.



It seems these days there are so many voices. So many theologies and interpretations. Though I cannot know it all, for I am not Omniscient, Id still like to be like Mary again and rest at Jesus' feet. Does anyone else feel that way? Just tired of sifting through the voices? I know the sheep know the voice of their shepherd. They are just also the stupidest creatures on the planet. Lol. Sometimes I wonder if why I struggle with so many voices is that I am not close enough to hear His still small voice. The battle is in the mind for sure.

Anyhow. Just thoughts on my mind tonight. Seems I am a bit brain fogged. May need to break from forums a little while. Every time I say that, I get back on rather quick. But need a mind rest and draw near to my Father.

I think that stopping and getting into the word for yourself rather than listening to the many voices of every internet teacher is a very wise proposition.

Get rid of the clutter, Amen.

I would just encourage you with this scripture:

Act 11:22, Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
Act 11:23, Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
Act 11:24, For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.

Hi Mayflower, a yielded vessel and the Word are what make a disciple; then, you'll know whether or not the doctrine is of God. Prayer, fasting and dining on the Word are spiritual exercises to condition a disciple of the Lord for battle.

Also, I love the Scripture cited!
