Amen. Jesus never chose or decided anything, but simply followed/obeyed the leading of the Father, in submission to Him. He never even did anything but what He saw the Father doing. If we reckon ourselves dead already, what decisions and choices can a dead man make? We are to be emptied of all that belongs to our old man, and be emptied/cleaned/sanctified vessels for the Lord to inhabit and live in and use at His discretion....no longer "I" who live but Christ who lives in me.....surrendered to His will, rather than doing what seemeth right to us. you are right sister . And if JESUS is doing the leading , we would be HEEDING all instruction that HE gave and the apostels gave . And our bibles would be open and we would LOVE , NOT just every page , but every word even . WHEN GOD puts HIS LOVE IN US , rest assured , ITS LOVE FOR TRUTH and from that , ALL ELSE WILL FLOW . Amen. I would even say we need to get the word off the pages and engraved on our hearts because that's the only way His word can change us...the entrance of His word gives light. Some might wonder how do we do that, get the word engraved on our hearts and finding entrance into our hearts....well the only way I know of is that we be pierced. Who falls on the Rock will be broken...the fellowship of His sufferings...if we suffer with Him we shall also reign with Him. Not physically pierced (necessarily), but like Mary (type of the church), a sword shall pierce our hearts.

Not physically pierced (necessarily), but like Mary (type of the church), a sword shall pierce our hearts. Its real simple sister . HE ALONE PUTS that LOVE OF those words ON OUR HEART . HE PIERCES OUR HEART BY THE SPIRIT TO LOVE EVERY WORD OF GOD . NOW LEAP UP , AND PRAISE THE KING .

This is one of my favorite Michael Combs songs. It was never singled, so unless you have the album, you likely never heard it, but I thought it would go good with this topic.

"Jesus of Nazareth. He knew we all carry inside us an innate love for stories, so that was the medium He consistently used to communicate His good news" The story tellers, the actors on the stage of life, use interesting or compelling or persuasive type stories to woo the listeners, but Jesus never did. Jesus never chose a medium, nor determined in Himself what to say or to tell, nor how to, apart from the Father Directing Him Personally, Intimately, same as with the Apostles later, when they learned to know the Father and to know Jesus in spirit and in truth, not after /in/ the flesh. Amen. Jesus never chose or decided anything, but simply followed/obeyed the leading of the Father, in submission to Him. He never even did anything but what He saw the Father doing. If we reckon ourselves dead already, what decisions and choices can a dead man make? We are to be emptied of all that belongs to our old man, and be emptied/cleaned/sanctified vessels for the Lord to inhabit and live in and use at His discretion....no longer "I" who live but Christ who lives in me.....surrendered to His will, rather than doing what seemeth right to us. Amen. There is a way that seems right to men,
and the end is the path to destruction.
