Joel Osteen-Activating Faith Instead of Fear Pt. 2 from mistyedwardsmusic on GodTube.

[haveliz]

I have been thinking that God might be likened to a burning furnace from which a small spark flies into the soul that feels the heat of this great fire, which, however, is insufficient to consume it. The sensation is so delightful that the spirit lingers in the pain produced by its contact. This seems to me the best comparison I can find, for the pain is delicious and is not really pain at all, nor does it always continue in the same degree; sometimes it lasts for a long time; on other occasions it passes quickly. This is as God chooses, for no human means can obtain it; and though felt at times for a long while, yet it is intermittent. In fact it is never permanent and therefore does not wholly inflame the spirit; but when the soul is ready to take fire, the little spark suddenly dies out, leaving the heart longing to suffer anew its loving pangs. No grounds exist for thinking this comes from any natural cause or from melancholy, or that it is an illusion of the devil or the imagination. Undoubtedly this movement of the heart comes from God Who is unchangeable; nor do its effects is resemble those of other devotions in which the strong absorption of delight makes us doubt their reality.

Disciplines such as prayer, communion, etc. are modes of enjoying God, not methods of appeasing Him.—  John Crowder

I’ve been listening to this on repeat for months. It answered so many questions I had about the life of faith for a believer, and commonly misunderstood Biblical references concerning how one receives salvation if their heart is hardened and impenitent.

"In the play Saint Joan by George Bernard Shaw, Joan of Arc insists that she hears voices that come from God. She is informed by skeptics that the voices come from her imagination. Unmoved, Joan replies, 'I know, that is how God speaks to me.'"--Celebration of Discipline by Richard J. Foster

The Cloud of Unknowing

Let not, therefore, but travail therein till thou feel list. For at the first time when thou dost it, thou findest but a darkness; and as it were a cloud of unknowing, thou knowest not what, saving that thou feelest in thy will a naked intent unto God. This darkness and this cloud is, howsoever thou dost, betwixt thee and thy God, and letteth thee that thou mayest neither see Him clearly by light of understanding in thy reason, nor feel Him in sweetness of love in thine affection. 

And therefore shape thee to bide in this darkness as long as thou mayest, evermore crying after Him that thou lovest. For if ever thou shalt feel Him or see Him, as it may be here, it behoveth always to be in this cloud in this darkness. And if thou wilt busily travail as I bid thee, I trust in His mercy that thou shalt come thereto.

Humility is, in fact, filled with power to bring forth life. The word itself comes from the Latin humus, which means fertile ground. “Humility,” writes Anthony Bloom, “is the situation of the earth.” In one sense humility is nothing more than staying close to the earth. The earth, Bloom reminds us, is always with us, always taken for granted, always walked on by everyone. It is the place where we dump our garbage. “It’s there,” continues Bloom, “silent and accepting everything and in a miraculous way making out of all the refuse new richness…transforming corruption itself into a power of life and a new possibility of creativeness, open to the sunshine, open to the rain, ready to receive any seed we sow and capable of bringing thirtyfold, sixtyfold, a hundredfold out of every seed.

It’s interesting because the songs that are difficult to write always end up being less interesting than the ones that just kind of come from some crazy sparks of creativity. A lot of the songs on the album that I’m most proud of are ones that I got an idea and just kind of rolled with it and went with it, and 20 minutes later I had most of the song done. So I kind of have been following that. I’ve been following the idea that if you get a really crazy lightning bolt idea, then that’s the one you should chase and the one that you show follow. If it’s a little bit harder to get into the groove with a song, then maybe… it’s just not as good of an idea.
