"Spiritual truth is learned by atmosphere, not by intellectual reasoning. God’s Spirit alters the atmosphere of our way of looking at things, and things begin to be possible which never were possible before." Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest
I reason a lot of things, even the spiritual. I used to be very pentecostal and atmospheric and things often got weird. I learned of the systematic study of the Bible and began a systematic walk with God and things got rigid. There is a time, place, and measure for all things. I am trying to masquerade a pastor and a happy, functional, spiritual family and it is not and will not work. I am still willing to be made willing, but for now, the mask is cracked and cracking. Jesus was transfigured before his disciples, Wiersbe says that was the opposite of masquerade, change from the inside out.
Lord, I pray that you would transfigure me into a good, spiritual, Godly man. Help me to stop masquerading, yet help me to walk in faith so that I may walk on water by your enabling. Change me from the inside out and make me more and more like you. That I would be my best when no one is looking and when things are at their worst.
