For We Walk by Faith, Not By Sight

 The fortitude of our conviction so welcomes the blood of Christ to place the strength that is the Holy Spirit in that very heart we have so opened anew to become the "New Creature" in Christ Jesus. It is in understanding that we don't clearly understand that we employ faith to meet God (Our Father) in that place of His "Promise" (Christ Jesus) to gain more than a Mustard Seed's worth of power, the very Divine Truth of the Gospels just as Jesus had given revelation to those then in His time and even so here, now. It is the Truth that they tried to kill so long ago only to fulfill the prophecy Jesus so gave of His resurrection. It is in the irony of our search to find the switch, plug etc. that we come to realize that the very awe-some realization that "He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world" and that Truly we can say without a doubt the same words Paul did in Romans 8:28-34 – “28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies. 34Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, Who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us." And where else: 2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” In Jesus' Name, amen.

Our current time seems to have gotten focused on the rational and irrational, wisdom and prudence, time and judgement with the weights of a balancing scale shifting. By inventions of man, we find our dependency as it validates wisdom and prudence to define, to compare and to decipher what is the right way and what is the wrong way of doing things.

   It has been said by some that wisdom may be defined as “the knowledge that sees into the heart of things which knows them as they really are. Prudence is the understanding which leads to right action” and that “one is intellectual knowledge; the other is practical understanding. One satisfies the mind while the other leads to right conduct.”

Does that sound current and relevant to you right now?

Do you see this conduct daily?

We think we can comprehend everything.

We imagine we are able build a new world. We imagine we can recompense for our own mistakes. Redo errors that are reflected through hindsight. To compensate as an act of forgiveness. The outline of that act is its half-heartedness. It's a daily basis of putting that forth in action such as” treating others as you want to be treated”. It's not philosophical nor is it imaginative. A wise man told me once, “You cannot think your way into good living, you live your way to good thinking.” That is a truth from one who learned not just from experience and history but from being the headship to God and knowing that he was forgiven of his sins. There are plenty of historians who follow the narrative that “you can pick a subject and then think what you want of it”. We can think about all kinds of stuff. There's medicine to even stop and enable us in thinking. There's a part of science designed to cater to how you think, act, and feel that embodies a form of self-power. There is one thing outside of all our power to do and outside of all our knowledge to comprehend and that is the grace, redemption and forgiveness of sin through our Lord Jesus Christ. No one else can make that atonement and give you forgiveness.

Ephesians 1:10

[10]That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

Dispensation is stewardship aka carrying out God's purpose. Often personalized which twist the true meaning of this verse and has marred history. We are to repent of our sins and keep His commandments and statutes. We have all had time in the past years to slow down and hopefully do a bit of introspection. For us believers in Jesus, Christ bestows a capacity for comprehending something of God's purpose for the universe. For mostly all unbelievers, there is only markers within the cosmic fabric called 'science' to determine it. Not everyone thinks repentance of sin is necessary. Not everyone believes in Jesus Christ. Not everyone fears God and His coming wrath.

Through history God has bestowed gifts to men who were able to gain knowledge in the field of science. A couple that come to mind for me, one man, Albert Einstein, who's formula was later taken and used in a destructive manner other that he intended and another more recent a physician, Dr. Jack Kevorkian as he notably provided aid in suicide to elderly people who were terminally ill. A form of destruction outside of the natural course in life. One thing that stood out to me about Dr. Kevorkian is that he was judged by people for doing what he did while others fought to allow legal abortions, yet he was held on a different merit. Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath to help preserve life. Maybe an example of that is after the great flood, God told Noah that there is a cure for every disease and every ailment in the Earth. Yet, much of it remains a modern mystery to this day. These elements are within the gospel in entirety.

Ecclesiastes 8:6

[6]Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.

God has a secret way of dealing with the world and the mystery is that it is His good pleasure to make it known to all believers in Christ that He may gather them together all in one. Have you questioned anything about Joy? Is it really an emotion like anger? Being fulfilled as He answers in prayer?

None of that Joy is your doing, no it's not an order of man's doing no matter what is imagined.

Ephesians 6:10

[10] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Having power seems to be what is most appealing to the outside world. The power of Christ without belief or power taken for necessity. Taken as an element as if it is a spherical mineral. No, there's much more to it than science and artificial intelligence. AI is just a creation from man alongside with what I am saying to you. It requires might of man. This is not artificial because the Lord has put man in the position to serve God's purpose, not man's.

Ecclesiastes 8:14

[14]There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
