Jamie and this study are one of the tools the Lord used to reel me back into obedience. Prior to this study, I was unable to see that although I was on my face begging for forgiveness and mercy (total anguish), I was just chasing my tail. Because I never looked up long enough to see that in order for me to receive those requests, I had to be obedient. Meaning, I had to stop picking up what I was laying at Jesus'feet! I had to feel some discomfort (obedience) in order to feel the forgiveness and mercy. Sometimes, I think we move so much that we never sit still long enough for Jesus to heal us. We allow Satan to keep us in panic and chaos mode, never really slowing down and shutting up, to allow the healing process to begin. It can be a painful process, but a necessary one. Jamie and this study made me slow down and shut up, so I could actually hear what my Father was saying. Once I crawled (with the Lords help) to obedience, I began to hear my Father again. I guess I ran too far away to hear Him. Now I am back! Thank you Jamie for allowing the Lord to use you in mighty ways. You are a blessing!
