Hi Doctor Green,
What you just layed out there is pretty much a life time of realisations. It can take a person that long to come to that awareness. But when he/she does, there is freedom.
I could take a few words and replace them with a few others and the meaning would be the same but it could be easily used a a sermon about the Law vs. Grace.
A person who is "under the Law", is that person who demands perfection from himself and others. He always turns into a hypocrite, seeing the faults in others,but not in himself.
A person who is "under Grace", is one who has realised; "he is free to respond to whatever power reveals!", as you put it. In fact, that is the definition of Grace; A Gift,..Influence or influx from God or the Spirit.
What you have layed out there is the Old and New Covenants of Scripture in a nut-shell.
To come to this realisation is to open the way to higher realms and powers.
To touch those powers without this realisation will stop you in your tracks.
Great post!
