     Obedience heals the soul.
     God's Word is consistent in reminding us the importance of obedience. There
are no excuses.  
      Your circumstances do not provide an exception to obedience.  If you think 
you are entitled to be offended, resentful or stubborn, you are comparing the
situation by sight to the Word of God.
     There is no comparison.
     Why is it that so much of the deepest work of the Holy Spirit seems to take
place during the hardest times? It is because when the Soldier of the Cross
chooses faith rather than sight, obedience is the result.
     Obedience does not happen by mental assent, but by a choice based on faith;  
a choice made when the flesh is screaming to be in control.
     The obedient Believer has a wise tongue.
     The obedient believer is calm.
     The obedient Believer has sight.
     The obedient Believer recognizes the Presence and deliverance of the Lord.
     The obedient Believer walks in health.
