Have you ever been in a really bad state and looked in a mess but on the inside you are in a glorius state ,What is the longest you have prayed and fasted and have looked a real mess after that and people think in there sensibleness comment that you do not look fine. Even thous you may have not eaten in days before or weeks it is only when you fast or pray suddenl people actually start noticing that you are a mess which but the mess is on the inside and they cant see that. It is like Elisha when all the chariots are surrounding the village and god opens the servants eyes, Elisha can allready seeI think the lack of vision into the faith realm is a major problem in are cultureSeeing things from the Lord perspective rather than ours .John the Baptist would not have been let into most churches if he was around today or even Elijah, A HAiry man dressed in leather who stank and lived on a diet and lived outside most of his life, so he probably classed as homeless as Jesus was and would not even get into church yet he was one of the most powerful christian men who ever lived yet by the sensible minds he would have been considered a rouge!!Jesus also had no wear to stay, did not carry money, The way that christians lived is so comfortable compared to the lifestyles of early christians who had their possesions conviscated.I would rather be a JOhn the Baptist who outside looks like a mess but inside is not a white washed wall, even thou I sometimes feel like it.
