It is so obvious to me you have exchanged your life for the life of Christ. I looked up the book you suggested and have a link for anyone wanting to look at it, reviews or buying options on Amazon: http://bit.ly/N2h34 Looks great-how could any book on Isaiah be much else? "...a time of greatest risk and greatest reward" is really a theme in my blog, but especially this week. Thank you for articulating it so well. I keep hearing this morning in my mind's ear, "Wake up, little children!!" Bob Thank you Kirsten for the wonderful comment. It is so obvious to me you have exchanged your life for the life of Christ.

Sometime it may not appear that way. Yet, we sense their presence and see their works in all manner of things............. this is truly a dynamic period...a time of greatest risk and also of greatest reward. Would like to suggest a book by James MacDonald GRIPPED BY THE GREATNESS OF GOD! Thank you Bob for serving the Lord with passion! We are all the better for it, and I for one am most grateful for your words of encouragement. Will return for more comments at another time. Be blessed! May you always have His peace. Kirstin Please see Job 33:28-33

I am not talking about the wonderful capacity of our minds. I am talking about the clear difference in God's way of doing and thinking and man's worldly approach. I believe in order to change we must consider three things at least in this little unit of thought: <strong>1)</strong> 1 Sam 16:7; "The Lord sees not as man sees, for man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart." <strong>2)</strong> "For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, 'He catches the wise in their craftiness',” I Corinthians 3:19. <strong>3)</strong> "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9. The redeemed mind comes through a process of transformation to think more like God. One person commented, but not on this blogpost, that this story reminded them of times when God tested this in them and they felt they failed. However, the test made them ready for the future. It related to angels visiting disguised as homeless or unkempt people who are not attractive. The world tells us one thing in that instance, worldly wisdom, and God wants us to pray for discernment, to think like Him. So, that is what I was meaning. You might still not agree. I am not trying to get everyone to agree or to disagree. In this case I was mostly telling a story and giving my own growth experience. Each experience like this has caused me to change the way I think, so that is the "insult" I am speaking of-the insult meaning the way Jesus spoke to the men who criticized John the Forerunner for eating strangely, wearing "weird" clothes and living in the wilderness; yet the same men criticized Jesus for dressing nicely, eating and drinking in public places with anyone who was hungry for God, people considered sinners. That sort of crafty thinking was an insult to God on the other foot. Jesus was angry at those men and told them they could not have it both ways. I hope all can see more clearly what was the spirit of my blog on that. Also, I am really grateful you read and commented. Perhaps you could tell your story someday on my blog. I have found that a surprising number of people encounter angels but rarely if ever speak of it to anyone. I also have found people love these stories. You or anyone can send me a story to bahamabob@mac.com if you are interested in seeing it posted either as a guest blogger or some other way. I edit or decide without any comment-there are many reasons to post or not to post a story and I would decide. I hope you tell your story somewhere! Hi Agnes,

However, I can't agree that the Father "...often insultes our intelligence..." He gave it to us. If we are bragging or proud or using it with malice, He will let us gain our reward from those actions, but I don't think He insults us.

It seems what the internet has offered us is a surprise. We seek and sometimes find intensely personal connection on a screen! I am glad we can do this. I think this story confirms that we are around millions of angels all the time but need to learn to recognize them and learn how to look for them. Then we need to know why they are there. I think there must be more on this particular one, but we shall see. Bob Thank you Virginia for your kind remarks. It seems what the internet has offered us is a surprise.

We all need to open our eyes and hearts to the blessings God is showering us with. So many times we're too busy to hear His voice or to look for the angels. The scriptures tell us there are thousands upon thousands of them. Our prayers release them. Your itimacy with the Lord is something we all hunger for. God bless you for boldly sharing your visions and dreams. Thank you for posting this beautiful and extremely personal story.

I felt really happy when reading this post. It reminded me of God's unique love towards us. Thanks for sharing, Bob.
