whats your take on Jesus commanding us to pray on earth as it is in heaven - or when paul says in 1 cor 2:6-16. I read a pretty clear invitation to know what Holy Spirit is doing and to function in partnership with Him. The process of faith is training my brain, emotions and body to get in line with the Spirit of God -
As I do, I actually see in partnership with God - His intentions come about. My faith then has become a place of authority. For example I have seen 100's of people with headaches healed, and I have helped tons of young people destroy depression in their lives. All of that has been a process for me of walking with the Lord and believing (engaging in faith) with things like Isaiah 61, or the Lord's prayer, or Romans 8:11, or Colossians 1:19-20 - these are a few of the promises God spoke to me which engaged my faith which in these two areas has now become authority.
I now am working on expanding my faith in other areas. As Hebrews 11 talks about.
I would also say taking things by presumption is incredibly dangerous and where lots of people get hurt, which I think is what you are referring to in the text in Daniel.
thoughts?
also I been meditating on the Fear of the Lord this morning...specifically Psalm 25:14 is rocking my world
