IT IS HELPFUL, ESPECIALLY TO ONE LIKE ME. I AM NOT A SCIENTIST, AND I HAVE BEEN BAFFLED BY THE MYRIAD ANGLES TO CONSIDER WITH ALL THE THINGS "COMING UPON THE EARTH"…I HAVE FOUND MYSELF SWEPT TO AND FRO WITH ALL THE RUMOR, AND DEVELOPING AN APPETITE FOR THE NEXT DREAD THING…VERY, VERY DRAINING, DISTRACTING AND DESTRUCTIVE TO MY REST. SO, IAM REGAINING A MORE AUTHORITATIVE TRUST, AS YOU DESCRIBE IT, TAKING HOLD OF MY RESPONSIBILITY TO WEIGH WITH WISDOM ALL THESE FACTOIDS FED TO ME. THAT SCRIPTURE OF ISAIAH 8:11-12 BROUGHT ME BACK TO READ THE WHOLE CHAPTER IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. INTERESTING.
SO IAM A TRUSTING CHILD;TRULY ATTENTIVE, INQUISITIVE, AND YET NOT DOUBTING MY FATHER'S GOODNESS.

As I mentioned in a previous post in this series, God created man to be a tri-part being. Regenerate man consists of spirit, soul and body. It is the Father's will that we employ all of our being in the pursuit of truth.

I have laid much emphasis in many of my teachings on the necessity of hearing God's voice. This is very important. However, it is quite unrealistic to suggest that a man's powers of rational thought and critical thinking, do not have a role to play in arriving at truth. Spirit and soul and body all work together, for we are integrated beings.

If you would patiently review many of the things you believe as truth today, I am certain you will discover that a large portion of them cannot be ascribed exclusively to a word of revelation from the Spirit of Christ. Your rational mind has been a useful tool that is employed in this process.

May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these days.
