Jesus said not to rejoice over our power, but rejoice over our position--that "our names are written in the Lambs book of life." Great blog, great topics. Thanks for the inspiration and reminders about how the scope of pastoral faithfulness goes beyond the "checkboxes" in Timothy and Titus.

That really struck me because it reminded me of the rush of physical adrenaline we also can become addicted to. There is a tendency to feel that God cannot move without us...... This whole story has disturbed me deeply for many reasons but perhaps because it reminds me so much of myself and my refusal to take a break when I needed to.

It is so important. I like the thought provoking question at the end. Most supernatural things many times seem so natural that we can miss them. I believe that God uses us in supernatural ways almost every day. Most of the time we just don't know that He is, (probably ego related) because the work is being done in a person's heart and the fruit is not produce right away. Supernatural manifestations of the Holy Spirit that is quite different. I believe if we are connected and walking with Jesus the way we should be then we know we are dust and that the manifestation of the Spirit has nothing to do with us and everything to do with God. I am sure that the accolades that come from the people during such movements have got to be difficult not to absorb causing pride to rise up. I have been praying for Todd Bentley that true repentance would be in his heart and that he would confess publicly his offense to the Lord and the body of Christ. Keep up the good work Paul. It is a blessing. Veronica Joy Hi Paul,
