Eddy was a friend of mine. In the Bible study, when Matthew 25:36 was read, Eddy closed his Bible, stuck it in his back pack and got up to leave. Nick asked him, "Eddy, what's up? Why you leaving?" Eddy said simply, "The text said "... I was in prison and you came to me." I'm going to a friend in prison.
So what I have a tendency to do is say, "Wait, wait, wait, you need to go through this training, have this teaching, get a special clearance, etc." Then I have to remember that Peter was IN jail and got out without human permission. Paul and Silas sang so that God shook the place and released not only them but everyone else. So if the Spirit of God has said, "Yada, yada, yada," is that enough? Is there some other authority for which we wait.

Woah, nellie. You are invoking chaos, confusion.
Maybe I just need to get moving.
I love it. I remember days like that... I need to get moving, too!
Love this!
Thanks, brother!
