Obeying the lord does not translate to cowering down and waiting for someone to perform a “miracle”, nor wait for some other brave soul to save your life while you sit around and make excuses for inaction.
Do you actually comprehend what I am attempting to get across? I am not so much disagreeing with you as I am trying to point out that if you want to obey the lord, get off of your soapbox and take matters into your own hands, in his honor.
Understand?
I’m pointing out that the prayer and spiritual focusing should come FIRST... otherwise you have just courted chaos
And I think you are trying to backpedal over some pretty ridiculous spiritual statements without admitting that you have.
The SECOND step in waging a war is not to go to your Commander. The FIRST step is.
And, the most important thing about the process is that you might find that you might have to just squarely lay down what you thought were your wonderful plans, and pick up something different. You think you puzzled it out? You thought the Lord wanted you to go to an eye surgeon and you plotted that all out, clear down to the insurance policy and the hospital, when He had washing in Siloam in mind?
Same goes for your “fear based” philosophy. That’s why you were so ripe for the rebuke that the only fear that matters is that of the Lord.
