An Intro

Throughout my life I have had a passion for God and His word but that passion was many times without understanding.

When I just came to know the lord, when my eyes were opened and I saw His glory and splendour for the first time, I was without religious mindsets. All of this was new to me. In all of that ecstasy of being filled with the spirit and being baptised I experienced the closeness of God in such a way that I cannot explain. Somehow things made sense. Everything made sense in a weird spiritual way, that was hard to understand and explain with my mind but my spirit seemed to bask in the simplicity of it all.

It was only later when I started to listen to teaching and read the bible (without understanding) that the information that my mind received started to conflict with my spirit. I became burdened. Maybe you have become too.

It is sad how our minds start to override our spirits. We trust rather in reasoning and and intellectualism than the spirit of God.

Later in my life, when the bliss of the holy spirit wore off and I was starting to get bound by religion again I would now and again hear a “truth” preached. A preacher would say something and my spirit would leap alive and sort of shout out : “That’s the truth!”. These “Truth”experiences would then start to lay the foundation mentally. The more my mind started to become renewed by Spiritual truth, the more I would be in syncronization. Mind, spirit and emotions all synced to the truth of God’s word.

It is to be noted that I do not seek to establish my own doctrines or views bases upon my own spiritual experiences but I rather want to show that the views held are in line with the bible in its correct context. Ill discuss the context of the scriptures some other time.

I have gone from being burdened to being free. And that freedom has produced a deeper love for God from where the fruits of the spirit flow effortlessly. I do not have all the answers, and certainly did not come up with all that will be shared here by myself but Im sure as you read, and ponder you also, along with many others will be impacted with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

So sit back, relax, have a read, make a comment and "Release your River"!
