Okay, so I was just in "quiet time" or whatever you would like to call it with the Lord, and He has shown me quite a bit. First of all, I feel as though right now im coming out of the dip (referring back to Craig's sermon on Habakuk). My spiritual life is growing, and I'm just really becoming closer to the Lord. I know I am not at the top yet, but that is where I'm headed. Not only can a dip be the dip in life, like things just NEVER go you're way, but it's also a dip in spirituality for me. But like Craig said, embrace the dip, and wait it out. It's totally worth it.
So now I'm on the starting line to climp that line up to reach the top right? Well let me tell you, I'm a little nervous. God has set up so many things in my life, and I want to execute them for Him! I just want to follow that path that He has set, so I can get to the destination as He would want me to. Well for this, I simply need one word: GUIDANCE. Who's basically the KING of GUIDANCE? That would be God :]. I mean I just pray to give the right advice, to say the right things, and live for Him as He would want me to. I'm human, sure I'll make mistakes, but HE'S inside of me, so that should help a little ;]. I just ask for prayer that as He takes me into this season, I would not hinder Him but grow in Him and live for Him!
The second thing is, as I was worshiping, I prayed yet again that I could remember WHAT I was worshiping for. It could be so many reasons! But for tonight, it was just mainly focused around Jesus DIEING on the cross for me. So i worshiped to a song called "This Man" by Jeremy Camp. Here are some of the lyrics:
Would you take the place of this man?
Would you take the nails from His hands?
The King, was placed, for all the world to show disgrace
But only beauty flowed from this place.
Now see, I got this vision when that 3rd line came up. It was kind of a modern realization, and it was the cross, and Him hanging there, but in a T.V. screen. Because now days, almost the whole world it seems has a T.V. or computer. And He was placed on this cross in front of the ENTIRE world to show disgrace. That just ripped me up. That everyone was seeing Him, and so many were laughing, tearing Him down. Wow, thank you Jesus. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
The other part of the vision, was Satan RUNNING. Running away from Jesus for He knew that this was NOT the guy to mess with, and that he was toast by Jesus' love. I can see him running inside a cave where its dark, and he can grow. Just like sin can, as long as its in the darkness. I finally understand that sin DOES grow in the dark. so LET IT OUT INTO THE LIGHT. The LIGHT can kill it, it's CHRIST!!!! :].

Wow, that's... I have no words for that. I've been in a spiritual dip for such a LONG time, and I'm still there. But I think God is trying to teach me PATIENCE. Yours, Haleys, and Sheridans latest posts had at least one thing to do with patience. Being away from home, as much as I love the people I've been with, is sooo hard. He's teaching me patience. Thanks for the great post Alec!
way to go alec! going for the top!
but as I was reading this I was thinking, is there really a top? because the way I see it is we can grow in our relationship with God as much as we want, but the thing is our lifetime is too short to even get close to the top.
And another thing. Jesus dying on the TV. Isn't that what He wanted? For them to see it with their own eyes?
I dont know, something to think about. But GREAT post!
That's what I was trying to say. There is no top! haha.
very strange vision though, but I liked how you interpreted it. :]
Wow...you've got some deep stuff inside of you. Go take a spiritual gift test, I really wanna see what you have. I'm in a life dip right now, but my walk with Christ is incredible!! Thanks for the thought!
that's some awesome stuff you are learning alec.
i love that song btw.
