Sometimes people can't tell the difference. And in their quest for intimacy, they open themselves up to weird teachings that lead them into lunacy. I have seen it more times than I can count. Shawna,

There is intimacy, and then there is lunacy. Sometimes people can’t tell the difference. And in their quest for intimacy, they open themselves up to weird teachings that lead them into lunacy. I have seen it more times than I can count.

Don't you think that Jesus would want to come back for a passionate bride. One that is ready and eager to receive her groom. A bride that is happy, not an old maid trying so hard to adhere to strict wedding protocol that she completely misses the joy of her day. And how about joy? Where does it play a part? I believe that people are making coming to God more difficult than it really is. All God said was come as you are. And the more you fall in love with Jesus, I mean really fall in love. To where He is the only one you think about all day. It really is like a first crush, but so much more. I KNOW that I am special in His eyes. Its not spiritual infatuation at all. It's a revelation of the Love that God has for me, Shawna. I am the apple of His eye. It's a personal revelation. I am having so much fun with the Holy Spirit right now getting to know Him and learning His voice. It truly is a relationship. How much are you willing to surrender? Not just lip service. I want to see the miracles that Jesus did. He said we could and would, so why aren't we? Is that spiritual lust, wanting to see God's word come to pass. Sounds to me like its just simple belief. God said it, boom, its done. I want that kind of faith. Literally faith to walk on water, heal the sick and lame and blind. Is that spiritual lust to want what God said that I could have. Jesus said that He only did what He saw the Father doing and said only what the Father heard the Father saying. I'm just brave enough to believe that I can have a fantastic relationship with the Holy Spirit, seeing and hearing, and that I can believe God's Word for what it said. I believe that God said what He meant and meant what He said. I don't see anything wrong with simply believing God at His Word. If that is spiritual lust, then give me some!!!
