John 2:5

2:5 "His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."
2:7 "Jesus said to them, "Fill the waterpots with water." And they filled them up to the brim."

I never realized this before, but today as I read it over again, this revelation hit me... these verses are about OBEDIENCE!

"Whatever He says to you, DO IT!" - It's that instant obedience to do whatever He asks of us right away. Not a week or two later, a month or year, but right away when He asks us to do something...for we are now God's slave of righteousness (Rom 6:18,22)

And we see how the servants obey right away when Jesus tells them to fill up the waterpots (2:7)
We too, as servants (NASB)/ministers (NKJV) of God, must have this willing obedience that obeys instantly. I long to get to that place of RADICAL OBEDIENCE that never questions, doubts or compromises.

LORD, GIVE ME RADICAL OBEDIENCE~!



* Side-Note: This is the 1st recorded miracle that Jesus performs (turning water into wine)

Study of John

5/1/11- God tells me to read, study, meditate on the Book of John.

I've been disobeying His 1 yr. word to "BLOG IT"...
I cannot ignore it anymore.
I know I am to teach and share the revelations He has been giving me.
* P. Daniel once shared his story: he knew he was going to teach the Word one day and he really wanted to teach, but had no listeners.
So he created a blog and wrote everything he received, faithfully stewarding all revelations he received.
God honored his faithfulness and now he's sharing/teaching all that he had blogged and stored up over the years.

I must honor His word and obey now.
I cannot expect to keep asking God for what He wants me to do when I haven't obeyed what He's already asked of me. I need to steward and honor His revelations faithfully first.
But I fear teaching...(James 3)
