How you doin? I'm a little better today. I feel a bit more rested. I'm still having trouble coming out of the state that organizing conferences puts me in. I still feel like I need time with Him and only Him. My relationship with Him is the most important thing. When I'm in right relationship with Him my life produces fruit. I did make the mistake and asked someone how they liked the message on Sunday. He ripped the message apart and basically said it was worthless. Ouch!!!!!!! Take that for asking. One of these days I'll learn NOT to ask. I'm still struggling with the book of Job. I'm not sure why God has us here reading this book. It seems extremely redundant.
In the first five verses Job rips his friend a new one. That part I get. It's the rest of the verses that I don't get. In the NASB verses 6-22 are titled "Job Says God Shattered Him". As I've said before, we have the benefit of reading about God and Satan's dialog in the beginning of the book. Though God allowed this to happen, it's Satan's hand that's causing the damage. God still put restrictions on Satan both times He allowed Satan to afflict Job. Here's where it feels redundant. I'm not sure what I'm missing. There are 22 more chapters of this. I'm praying that I get it. Whenever there's an issue with understanding or making sense of the Scripture, I always look at myself.
I've heard from Doug Addison via text message Sun, Mon, & Tues. More is being revealed about the weekend. For those of you who read this email and attended the conference, please email me any testimony you have. Healing, deliverance, revelation, understanding, etc. Stacey and I, along with Doug, would love to hear about it. I know some people that were in attendance aren't on this email list. If you talk to them, please ask them to email me as well.
I do feel as though I could burst. I know that God has a great work in me and in us as a couple. The anticipation is at a boiling point. Know that God is good today.
PS After talking with Stacey this morning, we both feel that the conference released freedom and acceptance for us. Freedom to be in our identity and destiny in Christ. Acceptance by God. Acceptance by God to be His children. I think that I'm dealing with some 4th day stuff. I feel like the heavy weight of rejection is on me. The rejection of those who didn't attend the conference. The email I received about the message on Sun. and more. I know that Satan can only counterfeit or do the opposite of what God does. So it makes sense. I received acceptance and now Satan is hitting me with rejection. I keep thinking of Dan Mohler's message. If I'm being hurt by other people it's my problem not theirs. Rejection from people has NO business speaking louder then acceptance from God.
