BGO

Trying to keep up to Aaron I have single handedly (yes, it is difficult for me even though riding my mountain bike on ice isn't) loaded my ipod with nothing but brain food. I have the Book of Luke, two sermons from Bad Boy Bill Johnson and the third teaching on the Song of Solomon from Mike Bickle.

This is all I have since I can't stand trying to figure out where on my idpod shuffle resides such and such a teaching. So I keep it to five or so and don't have to look long.

If you thought I was smart before, look out now, this is the equivalent to mainlining dope. The effect is similar too, since your brain expands to new levels of glory, only to forget most of it within a day. But I'm going with the 'volume' theory, just like the one that says if you listen to tapes when you sleep your subconcious actually learns and retains. I figure if I ram enough volume brainward some will surely catch on the odd neural protrusion.

Last night was the Healing Room and I had another of my BGO's. That stand for 'blinding glimpse of the obvious'. We were praying for a person with diabetes and I suddenly saw/felt all the ways the enemy had used to steal from this person via this affliction. Everything from stealing years of life to stealing hopes for marriage and children, hopes for normal physcial existence and hopes for joyfulness again. I saw how sickness truly steals, kills and destroys at all levels, not just the physical.

It was a BGO, but it enlarged my awareness of sickness and the roots of it. I think it clarified the fact that sickness just isn't OK in the life of the believer and that my response to it couldn't be nonchalant. One thing about the devil is that he is true to form - lies, stealing, destroying, killing, and one thing about God is that he is true to form too - truth, restoring, redeeming, giving life.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow.
