Gelassenheit =
The Lost Art of Listening and Lassening to God
We are all Daniels in various lions dens of difficulties, but God is in the center of them all waiting for our faith to let His glory shut every lion's mouth. GELASSENHEIT knows that the seed of Christ is pulsating at the center of every circumstance we face, waiting to be activated by our faith's perception of Him. As we perceive the Lord's imbedded presence in all events and circumstances, we are then able to help harvest that presence to sprout blessing, power and love into the current need.
John Wesley believed that God's delivering presence had to be catalyzed by the prayer of faith before He could openly manifest upon the earth.
However, the prayer of faith is not accomplished by the will power of men but rather by the willingness of GELASSENHEIT.
This concept is really just another word for meekness. But this is not mousy meekness as it has been taught in Sunday School lessons about being good little boys and girls. No, this meekness is virile, brave and unflappable. It is gutsy abandonment to robustly yield every fiber of our being to God. It is the type of muscular meekness which Jesus said would inherit the world.
