Breaking Free - Chapter 46: The Display of Satisfaction and Peace
1. Why do unhealed old wounds serve as flags showing the enemy our areas of vulnerability?
Beth compared it to a golf course, big green meadows with little holes, marked by flags so that the golfers know where to aim the ball for. When we have unhealed wounds, they act like those little flags saying to the enemy, "Here, over here! This is a weak spot; this is the where they will be most easily distracted."
2. In what way can a satisfied believer display God's splendor in a way that no other can?
A satisfied believer, will be so satisfied, that they cannot help but pour the overflow, out of their life, into others. They will be the most compassionate people around!
3. What would God have us fast from so we can reach out to the oppressed?
Our own comfort!
4. What might the peace of God in the soul of a person look like at its most beautiful moment?
Joy! Deep joy even though the circumstances may be dire, the peace of God fills their lives and brings with it a pure deep joy!
