I too remember this harrowing day. And the long days after. This is what resonates with me;
Real authority doesn’t need force. But unhealed weakness will use it.
Silence is authority. Prayer is strength. Following the Spirit’s leading brings God right in the middle of the chaos and peace reigns. Victory is assured. Our ABBA has shown up. You choose Him at a time I think I would have brought out the big guns. 😂 But you choose wisely.
Brother, thank you for picking out that line. Doesn't surprise me that you did.
That was the one line where I had to stop writing and ask myself — do I really mean this? My old self would have given a very different answer. I'd be fibbing if I said I still don't get a knee-jerk reaction when I think about it. Like a bubble of air rising from somewhere deep — it comes up fast, hits the surface… pop. And then things settle back into alignment.
I think that's why God tells us to grab hold of Him fully. One hand off the grip is all it takes to get grabbed by something else.
You were there. You saw what it cost. That means more than you know.
govern my heart. Awe Brother Greg, this one sank, I remember when this happened and remember the posture of Marty and you. Your heart truly governed by Jesus led the Quiet Alpha to speak volumes. Thank you for modeling, it is here were your mentorship has been the greatest. Love you my Friend
Joanne — you saw what I saw. That day could've gone a dozen different directions. Most of them ugly.
What I remember most is how fast the room changed when I stopped trying to control it.
You said it right — He shows up in the chaos. Not after it settles. In it. That's what ABBA does.
And yeah — the big guns crossed my mind. 😂 Glad I left them holstered.
Nobody said walking in His authority would be easy. They just said it was worth it. G ~
