What has taken much more time to figure out a deeper insight into the wisdom is thinking out of reality and believing in the spirituality of this world. But more over to listen to my spirit's wisdom instead of my own which my heart is slowly adapting to...
So over the past month, I've been running into a topic of different beliefs. Discernment and the supernatural. Dreams and reality. Exaggerated truths, fiction, miracles, past powers...
Power of healings, resurrections, teleporting, speech in tongues, people engulfed in the spirit, God's electricity, gold dust, flawless gems, angel feathers, walking on water...
Why is it so hard to imagine some of these or, for some of us, all of these when there is a God so big and so extraordinary that it shouldn't even be in question that if it's his will, it will be done.
I understand the view that we are human and so hey, why not belittle ourselves. After all, we shouldn't have a heavenly perspective of ourselves, that we won't be sitting on a throne next to God, that Jesus called us out as disciples because he knew we couldn't follow him or perform the same miracles, and finally, because God didn't make us in his image.
But maybe I'm wrong for having faith in some miracles. Maybe people haven't been raising others from the dead. Maybe I have a foolish, blind faith...kind of like when I first went into believing this Jesus guy...
Either way, when it comes to discerning if a story is exaggerated or if someone is actually "drunk" with the spirit, pray about it. At least the person is seeking God and so hopefully God will reveal the selfishness in the heart.

I liked this very much. Dripping with sarcasm.
