The Drunken Prophet

All my bones shake.
I am like a drunken man,
And like a man whom wine has overcome,
Because of the Lord,
And because of His holy words. (Jeremiah 23:9, NKJV)
wow. here's Jeremiah dude, hearing the holy words of the Lord, trembling, because he sees His righteousness, and our wickedness. he hears the Lord proclaiming judgement upon the false prophet of the day....

today, those who purport that we can become 'drunk' when we are filled with the Holy Spirit are all too often those who are accused of being false prophets. well, Jeremiah dude was not a false prophet!!! and was like a drunk, because of the Lord and His holy words.

ach, i've been reading tonight about how critical people are of this 'movement' of the Lord. if they don't like it, why don't they leave them alone? they are not the ones to judge. why make life a pain for those who are honestly seeking God, just because they don't agree? don't judge another man's servant! only God can see the heart.

anyways, here's a link to John Scotland's website, and his testimony in particular. it's always encouraged, ministered, and challenged me. how far will i follow God when i hear Him? will i hold back? will i fear man?

Lord, may i be the sweetest, most aromatic banana tea You ever served up. amen!

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
