note for later:
as I’m going to sleep last night I think to myself randomly (I was reading a Stephen Lawhead book with nothing to do with heaven & hell) if heaven/kingdom of God is going amazing – beyond our wildest expectations and hell is like the opposite, far worst than anything we can imagine, perhaps if we toned down heaven and it wasn’t as good so that Hell being an equal opposite wouldn’t be so bad for those there. As soon as I have gone through thinking a thought interjects itself in my mind. It was in my mind but I didn’t think it. It was not a reasoning thought along the lines of which I was thinking and it interjected itself into my mind with such force that it surprised me. It really surprised me and this is the thought:
“I don’t agree”
I’m stunned and didn’t think anything for a while, and I start to rationalise where did that thought come from, so i ask God the question “why don’t you agree”
the response wasn’t a forceful as the first thought but it was there all the same, it was much more gentle and more difficult to distinguish from a normal reasoning thought and it simply went – “its never the way I intended it.”
The main point here is not so much the theologically correction but the way God can speak to us – so naturally. My ‘theory’ is that the more we train our spirit and feed it the more senstive we became to hearing God’s voice. The spirit needs God’s word. As our spirit becomes stronger perhaps it is able to function better within us and it can naturally move in faith and love and get god’s thoughts into our brain. If we never feed it, it can never function properly
Needs more thought.
