Any time we replace old beliefs with new ones there is the
potential of inner tension, a trickle-down effect which takes place as
other, yet unchanged beliefs are challenged by the new. This I believe is what
John is experiencing/expressing. Hence it does not necessarily have anything to
do with some sort of God-sent anxiety on John's behalf, nor need it
be interpreted as "red flags" by you; it is just the normal
process Christians go through when taking every thought captive to the
obedience of Christ.Blessings, Bill
Bill, my personal
experience (FWIW) has been that when I have anxiety or “tension”
over a new concept it is because I am trying to incorporate something that is
not of the Spirit of God. Thus the concept and the Spirit are at war;
conflicted. Whenever I come into true revelation of a new concept I experience
peace and joy. Izzy
