Wisdom

Andrea

In the end after everything it all comes down to walking in Radical Dependency and Wonder despite ALL appearances and circumstances - HIS Word stands forever and WILL generate radical change in every situation.

This is why I sometimes give people in whom I recognise real Prophetic and Pastoral potential, a Regula Fide - it is a form of Prophetic Declaration into their Ministry, Destiny and Purpose - I can see past all the masks, the pretenses, the theatrics, the soliloquies, the "enter stage left" 'sackcloth and ashes' routine and the constant fascination with the metaphysical, surrealism, delirium, madness and misrule...to the real person and I just speak the WORD AND RADICAL CHANGE WILL HAPPEN!

Lots of Love.

Mark

Mark,

I pray that 1 Cor 13 will become more and more substantially real in me every day. That I will become Love so that all competition, vain thoughts, anger, insecurity, defensiveness, and disunity will flee away from who I am.

Love

Andrea

Andrea

I find YOU very real, very substantial in spirituality and what I really like is that YOU shine and I can see it.

So I guess Sanctification, [Trans] Substantiation and Serefinication are all furiously at work on your DNA and in your Devotional Life.

I just really like your approach to Christology, Soteriology and Eschatology - very HERE and NOW, very kinaesthetic and tactile and very immediate, earthy and no nonsense - mature in Christ and NOT always whining and whinging and full of introspective self pity......just VERY REAL and actually a real Spiritual JOY to be around - Full of Faith, Vision, Agape LOVE and increasing Spiritual Wisdom.

Lots of Love.

Mark

Real is good!

Thanks Mark.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow. And your devotion to Christ and commitment to His Life have been a vivifying part of my spiritual development. For that I thank you, too.

Being REAL is essential - it is one of the Essentials.

You chose the better course and I was prepared to be poured out....

You have poured yourself out....this is Agape LOVE, the poured out Life!

Lots of Love.

Mark

I wanted Abundant Life, and I asked you to help me because I was a bit stuck. And I helped you help me by believing in the Life in your words, and running with what you said as I was able to match it to what I knew from the Bible and other Christian testimonies. And as I applied and prayed through things, more was revealed to me where I felt I needed to focus, and you helped me work through that too. It was amazing how it all worked out, and I praise God.

I let you help me. It was cooperative, and I believe, inspired.

Life is synergy! Pneumatological Synergy!

Lots of Love.

Mark

1. Synergy - The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects.

Pneumatological Synergy leading to Incarnational Synergy which will be transformed into Resurrectional Synergy from ages to ages.

You have said (now in your blog!) that if you see Jesus walking on the water, you are seeing the substance of things.

This reminds me that in Genesis 1, the Spirit hovers over the waters, and then I was thinking how Jesus is one with the Holy Spirit and that is why He can walk on water.

We walk on water by and through Faith and Faith is.....

Hebrews 11:1 The Substance of things hoped fopr and the evidence of things not seen

If Jesus is walking on the water[s] of your Heart then your Faith is increasing...

Lots of Love.

Andrea

YOU already have a POWERFUL impartation to increase in Spiritual Wisdom - do you need an Anointing and Impartation for increasing Faith?

Lots of Love.
