A friend of mine gave me this book and while I agree with the scriptural content I did not agree with what she told me to do......she said if I prayed that prayer everyday that I would begin to see the manifestation of it in my life within 30 days.
Well I prayed that prayer for 3 days then I finally just said Lord, this man prayed this from his heart because this is what he needed in his life and had faith to believe for. I have faith for those things as well but it isn't what is in my heart....what is in my heart is to draw nearer to you, to die to self, to increase in my walk of obedience, to be used by you to help others. He said EXACTLY! I want you to speak to me from your heart!
That is when I realized that we each have our own personal path to walk and the Bible is a tool to teach us the best way to walk it......but each of us reaches a revelation knowledge of it at different times so it can't be a "one-size-fits-all" at a given place in time. So what I am basically saying is we all work out our own salvation with fear and trembling and as long as the Holy Spirit is guiding us we all will reach our predestined calling and place in our life in HIS TIMING.....of course we can hinder our growth at times but it really is all about a personal relationship with our Father and with our willingness to let Him mold us and make us into what He intended us to be.
So with that being said.....I am just gonna love all you guys no matter what we may disagree on....it's a personal thing between you and God.....and where He has you is where you are meant to be. (with the exception of false teaching of course) because we are all one in Christ!
