I have often reflected on how a less powerful or 'virulent' strain of the gospel can seem to strengthen our resistance to the real full-strength gospel.<br /><br />I also find myself wondering what kind of radical things the Spirit might want us to do as a wake up call to those who have been inoculated. <br /><br />Thanks for posting your thoughts.

Many people are "inoculated" against the Gospel having heard it so often. If things were similar in Israel, that might be why some of the prophets were called to do shocking things like walk around naked for 3 years or marry a prostitute.

I am encouraged when I read that Jesus seemed to have the same challenge but addressed it head on by getting away frequently to pray through the night. His time with the Father was a tremendous source of strength. I am working on scheduling and making time for listening and experiencing His Presence in my life. It is not easy for me, but when i focus and ask for help from the Holy<br />Spirit, it becomes a reality more frequently. I'm not close to being there yet, but I'm cultivating.
