Week 15 | God Draws Outside the Lines

This week Steve and Diana discuss Tradition vs. Cornelius’ brave faith: If we don’t listen to the Living voice of God, we will adhere to our traditions rather than living by the leading of the Spirit, in agreement with the Living Word. Peter can’t even fathom the meaning of the vision he’s just had. It took a display of the Holy Spirit to reveal to Peter what God was up to. A new mission movement: Barnabus and Paul partner in evangelism and they head out on the first missionary journey. The developing church has old thoughts with new dialogue. Jesus wasn’t meant to be the introduction of Judaism but rather the fulfillment of Judaism. There’s a sweet heart-posture the epistles will unlock this week. What translates us out of the striving we’re in? The Word of God, which reveals our hearts, does. Who’s in? Who’s out? What fruit am I feeding on? You can’t fake it; your heart is telling on you by your actions. If we live by the Spirit, we keep in step with the Spirit. He then becomes the provision of the fruit we are trying to acquire through our need. Being in the Word daily gives our hearts a new opportunity to hear His voice. When we encounter the Lord in His Word, there’s going to be a change in the way we respond to Him, how we see the world, how we approach life, and how we treat others. If not, we may need to ask ourselves, “Am I just reading the Scriptures to confirm MYSELF?” Or am I yielding in every situation? Just because God told me to do something one time doesn’t make it right every time. Nor can I just cast it off as a one-time thing. Am I agreeing with myself, or letting myself be known by the One Who gave me life to know me and be known by me?
