Herod = Pwned

Name: Chad
Scripture: Acts 12

OAP: This is Peter's jailbreak. Last night what stuck out to me was obeying authority, keeping to the law. Here God commands Peter to disobey the authority set before him and leave prison. I have talked a great deal about rules and guidelines, exceptions to those rules. I want to break isolation, to go to day7, to beat up on Josh at brawl, to just hang out with people. I don't want to continue simply for the sake of continuing, turning this experience into my own good, which it has not been for the past two weeks. I cite "breaking the rules" on Sunday, simply talking with Christine on the trail, it was good. This chapter in acts almost serves as a temptation for me, that God sets rules, (again the word rule is incorrect) but then intervene when they should be broken. God did that on Sunday, he made it clear to me that the expressed guidelines should not be followed. I think that I am trying to hear that again, when it is not there.

God, if you have an angel lead me out of my house, I will follow. I will follow if you choose a more subtle method as well. Give me the discernment to recognize your voice if yo choose to speak. But it would be worse for me to speak instead, to hear what is not said, to speak as Herod did and claim to be the voice of God. Let me be completely passive in this God, a silent receptor of your will.
