So...people are built in a trichotomous fashion much like the way the trinity is set up

prayer.. acting in faith.. acting based on the word of God.. operating in the gifts of the Spirit (and if you don't have them, seeking them).. praying in the Spirit (intercession, speaking in tongues etc.)... and I find that just sitting in silence and "listening" is something that encourages spiritual growth...
thats what I think... :o)

Do you ever journal what you hear in the silence?

[wellwmysoul]

Oh yes. Lately, my patience has gone down and I haven't been listening so much as I've been "pondering" or "meditating" on things... its something I KNOW I need to start doing again.. but yes, I usually have written that stuff down.. I remember a particular time where I KNEW it was God 'cause a word came that I didn't know.. I had to look it up.. things like that.. its pretty neat. :o) I should have added yesterday, though, that I think even some things like studying the Bible and stuff that we would consider exercising your mind... are inseparable from exercising the spirit.. I really think they're intertwined when it comes to things of God sometimes.. :o)
