Into the Deep #56: The Spiritual Combat – Ch. 45-52 & 59
Episode #56. Ever-effervescent. No chance for that hoped-for brevity. Suggestions not requirements.
Fundaments. 1. Yes. 2. No. 3. Not at this time. Those are the three answers to prayer. Garth Brooks? Weird Al? Petitionary prayer is good, but we ALSO need meditation; and we have to know what we’re meditating on. The Passion of the Christ. Resurrection people, yes; but you can’t get there without going through Good Friday. The Prodigal Son? How about his big brother? Yeah. Sensible devotion and dryness. A segue, nailed. The artifices of the devil. That’s cuz you’re so SMART. Suh-Mart. Smart. It was almost like, well… like a supernatural event. Heh. Set aside any notion of consolation. A divided heart. Loving ourselves through God… the Tony Robbins Prayer Plan – NOT. Hilarity ensued.
