Greetings @barski ,
Thank you for dropping by...appreciate your kind complimentary words with regard to the still life photography....maybe a painting someday..^__^
So very true....Stand still and watch the deliverance of the Lord...
However, we have the Apostle Paul exhorting believers to press on toward the high calling of God...and this is the context of how I would apply doctrine to this Principle. We are also mandated to Grow in Grace and in the Knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ....many times in the Epistles....that being said in order to do so...we must take in the Word and that is done sitting down...being still and yet we are growing...pressing forward as we do so.
Perhaps another way of looking at it...The Ecclesiastes concept of time could be applied here...as in there is a time for standing still and a time for pressing forward.
As always, dialogue with regard to the Principle is appreciated.
Thinking of you and your family,

Sometimes, such a concept as movement, even within the Church, is perceived somewhat... you need to find a delicate word so that no one from other Christian denominations gets offended, lol... let's say this concept looks like an underfed rabbit.. Have you seen such rabbits?
Not fish and not meat, skin and bones, there is not enough meat in it to slaughter, but there is no point in feeding it, this is how what we understand in the word movement, based on the Apostle Paul, may look like. He, I believe, primarily means the movement of the Holy Spirit, and if its manifestations are not taken seriously by someone, to put it mildly, then the movement that we observe is a hysterical throwing of a rabbit around the cage in the hope of getting his carrot and not ending up overboard this ship. :)
It is impossible to accept the gifts of the Holy Spirit deliberately, because either you rule over the Spirit, or you let the Spirit lead you, otherwise, you will not receive most of the gifts, there are no gifts, there is no movement that Paul spoke about, but there will be movement in such a matter as literalism, and the letter and the Word are different matters in such a process as movement and they may not intersect at all :)
In a nutshell... so. !BEER !LOLZ !ALIVE
