Serbia, allow Me to give you the future

When the Lord interrupted my wedding plans and asked me to allow Him to set the agenda, it was a lesson with a wider application. As I have told before, the wedding became more creative, more enjoyable, more memorable more enriching than the event we planned for ourselves. Yet it was not unlike it either! It was more a case of being all we had wished for and more, because the Lord is so much more positive than anything we can be when we stand alone.


So with Serbia and so with us all: keep an open mind, be ready for the creatively unexpected:
"Allow Me to give you the future
I want you to have"
Hear the Lord in this, and you surely will not regret it!

Suspended Disbelief

Since religious assertions are not objective items but subjective persuasions, nobody should swallow them uncritically. On the other hand it it not wise to reject them out of hand, either.
In the New Testament the principles are: "believe not every spirit". Test them to see if they are of God. Only when they are proved genuine should you take them seriously.
Therefore no one should simply take my word for it that I have had some communication from the Lord, misled people with strongly held and wrongly held religious convictions are two-a-penny. In fact, you have no proof that any of this ever happened. I could be simply inflating my own feeling of self-importance.
Keep an open mind: "you shall know them by their fruits".
