I just talked with my dad and done a lot of journaling for a lot of things had come and go. One thing in our conversation had striked me about many Christians in America. It is that we are too independent that we forgot how to be interdependent.
He shared with me about a missionary at Thailand who was a former wrestler and who used to live in Maryland before he became a missionary at Thailand. He shared his frustrations with the Christians at Thailand and the people for they are too independent. Thus their communication was being misunderstood many times, which fractured the harmony within the Body of Christ. He claims that the spirit realm was influenced by Thailand's hundreds years of being a self-govern country. For other countries in Asia had been captured and/or ruled by other country or so. Thus the interdependency was forgotten.
I don't know if the story is very accurate, but it came from dad's memory. But the point is that we all were raised in a culture where we had to be independent in order to survive. We all need to relearn how to be interdependent like the kids. To repair the fractured harmony, we had to be interdependent once again.
"All ate the same spiritual food and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ." -1 Cor. 10:3-4
It's amazing how Israel ate and drank the same spirit through the leadership of Moses. Which came from Jesus.
