Obedience

Obedience

Not law, rule, duty.  But in the Lord it is freedom.

It is the way we are wired, the way we are built.

It is an act of worship.  It is the way to God’s best.  It is not a fact-based decision, but a faith based decision.

Saul choosing to offer the sacrifice.  Saul choosing to spare the king and the best of the spoils.

Walk by faith not by sight.

Boils down to trust!

“The very best proof of your love for the Lord is obedience, nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else.” – Chuck Swindoll

Obedient life is for the warrior, not the wuss-bag!  Requires strength and stamina.  That is why there aren’t as many champions as there should be.

Disobedience

Will not get breakthrough

Will not grow, leads to death.

Can be disqualified.
