So one of my favorites to ponder has been Eph 3v10. It has really opened my eyes to the reality of significance God has give the church to really make difference in the spiritual realms. I am not just talking about the prayer aspect of spiritual warfare either, but the context is about unity of the church. Think of what that means, the way that we as a church relate to one another actually changes things in the spiritual realm. Also I think that it has really challenged my perception of our purpose. I used to think that the "rulers and authorities" in the spiritual realm knew far more accurately the things of God that we do. But what is it then that they are to learn from us.

Just a little tidbit of an interesting one to me. Let me know your thoughts.

Ooh nice one, you're a thinker. Very well expressed~! I didn't think you had it in ya. How dare I underestimate my new fav camping friend...
Yah your right, the way we respond & react to people, really makes a big difference. Experimenting with social dynamics... its like Christian Psychology. Can get a little crazy. But Eph 3v10 is an awesome place to begin.

I'll have to have, find & then share one of my favorites one day. If your lucky. :)
Keep up the good work~!

Isaiah chapter 20. By the looks of it it seems God told Isaiah to go and prophesy against the king of egypt BARE BUTTOCKED and bare footed... for 3 YEARS!!!

Must've been one of those "Is that really You, God?" moments...

There are quite a few, but one of my favorites is the story of Eutychus -- he is sitting on a window ledge on the third floor of a room, listening to Paul... it's hot, Paul keeps talking past midnight; Eutychus falls into a deep sleep and falls off the window, the fall didn't kill him, but the ground did. Read Acts 20:7-11 to find the rest of the story.
