Freedom, Glory, and Vulnerability

   This week in CDT1 (Cornerstone Discipleship Training level 1) is about "Touching God," and today I learned about hearing God's voice, and illumination.  At the end the assignment was this: "Let's begin to experience 'illumination' right now.  Turn in your Bible to 2 Corinthians 3:17-18.  Ask the Holy Spirit to come and teach you about this passage - not only what it means, but also what it means to you. Write down the random thoughts which come to you as you reflect on this passage.  Discover the power of the Scriptures, as well as the meaning, by praying over its word for you."  This is what Holy Spirit showed me.
  • Freedom -  only where the Spirit of the Lord is
  • Unveiled faces = nothing to hide, revealing our true selves
  • We reflect the Father
  • When we make ourselves vulnerable, His glory shines through
  • We are transformed to be like Him
  • When we are living in the freedom that comes from Him, we show others more and more of His glory
  • We can't do any of this - it comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit
