Listening to God will give you sound thinking.

Nancy Lee-Demoss says the opposite is also true.

Listen, disobedience, unbelief, rebellion will make you crazy.

It will make you irrational.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Tuesday, September 15, 2015.

Nancy's in a series called When You're Under Stress, a study of Numbers 20.

Well, we're continuing today in this short two-day series that I'm sharing out of,

If you missed that session,

you can go to revive our hearts.com. You can read a transcript. You can listen to the audio.

Israel, the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zen in the first month. This is the first

month of the 40th year of their wilderness wanderings. And the people stayed in Kadesh. The next stop is going to be the

promised land, finally, at long last. But there's some sad things that happen before they get there.

And we see the first one here in verse one. And Miriam, the older sister of Moses, who'd been with
