Your article reminded me of an instance when I recieved a word on Living sacrifice in 2021 and it continued coming back till 2023, until i understood and laid certain things down. I believe that's how God deal with us so gently and patiently. He meets us there, where we are in our faith.
Thank you, Jason for the wise caution you have presented. My daily reading plan today took me to Gen 34 headed "The treachery of Jacob's sons". But, in defending their sister's honour, it was also about how they compromised with the basic idea presented by the Hivites to intermarry, trade and thus prosper materially. Then Gen 35 showed one of the early consequences of that in Reuben's actions with Bilhah. :-(
The writers of the New Testament so often repeat a word in their writing on purpose, the purpose of emphasis. Seems you've found this to be true in your thematic writing as well. Good for you, and it's a valuable lesson for all of us to heed.
Good to know that you, too, seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit in your writing, and that you see you're writing as a way for God to work in you, as well as in your readers.
