The Answer 5

"Let’s talk about obedience to God, because you believe God is God.  Obedience, because in His presence you are overwhelmed, subdued, sobered, awestruck, transformed, empowered, renewed, re-directed, restored, re-instated, revived, reassured, awakened.

You are stopped - silenced - emptied in His presence.

In God’s presence we are revealed. 

Your physical senses are reduced - lessened and diminished.

Your spirit is enlivened - uplifted - rejuvenated - regenerated - refreshed and exhilarated. 

The Holy Spirit of God in you is filling you with His truth right now.

The Shekinah glory of God encompasses your being - to the extent that nothing else is apparent.

The Holy Spirit is pleased with all truth, and the truth about obedience will be confirmed by the Holy Spirit within you, this day.

The kind of obedience you are going to investigate, transcends self. 

This kind of obedience is not about making deals with God to get some disproportionate return.

This kind of obedience is about your recognition of who God is and what He has done for you. (Period)
