Jim, you said, “Joy, the reality of it, is the Spirit, Himself, which is producing that deep sense of it.” Yes! I love it! Things that I’ve shared on the Shack around January/February of last year, i.e., circumstances, loved ones with minds/emotions/actions gone awry would have caused me to despair beyond life itself, had I not known this miraculous reality…and sensed it deeply in my Spirit. It was the very realness of it that kept me! I very much felt sadness and loss in the midst of that time, but always the joy was residing there, and it brought me through. The beautiful conclusion to this audio were Adam’s words “Hold fast to the grace of God, in every situation while you’re here in this world.” What a comfort. It completely warmed my heart!:)

i just got a chance to listen to this particular audio yesterday morning while i was working in the kitchen. it was so much fun to listen to you guyz! and so encouraging!  :) i too believe that emotions are neither bad nor good. i believe they are indeed expressers, reactors, responders, communicators, etc. we suffer so much agonizing discomfort from all the various fears we learn from the mind of the flesh, and can be so influenced by that reasoning. it is so refreshing to hear you guyz talk about how we have the mind of christ - the spirit of the living god, and we have no need to fear what the world fears in all its various religious superstitions, rules, laws, unrealistic expectations, etc. … fed and supported by the all too generous and persistent demands of and from the mind of the world that no longer has anything to do with us. (not sure i worded that very well) jesus christ himself is the fulfillment of the law of god …jesus christ himself who is our life. we have no need to try to keep the law, for it is fulfilled in us by the very life of christ himself. very encouraging to no longer have to fear emotions built into us for the very purpose in which they were designed … to express, react, respond and communicate accordingly. enjoyed this very much, along with everything else i have been able to listen to thus far.  :) looking forward to more! :)

Random Shovelquote: Positional Truth (view all shovelquotes)

Positional was simply a theological way (as in Systematic Theology) to hold to the teaching of our new life in Christ without actually believing it. Source
