The 100% God (Bible Matrix Reloaded)
DOC LYNCH
How much of living is me? How much God?
50-50? 70-30?
If this is the level of philosophical/theological meandering we have
gotten to in 2,000 years plus, then it's the reason why the entire
shebang is in trouble.
We ask the wrong questions. We worry about the wrong stuff.
Want to wrestle with something? Then wrestle with the Truth.
The Truth is it's 100% God and 100% us.
God works within the parameters and reality that we do. He works
within what He has CREATED (CREATING).
See? There is the rub. We have all been more Deistic than Spirit led.
We really haven't understood God at all because we can't even grasp
the Reality of His own Creation.
Deists (which some of the founding fathers were, i.e. Franklin,
Jefferson, Paine, etc.), believe in God as a Creator, but not as being
involved. They were very "entropic" in their understanding of God.
Creation of the Universe and everything in it has been winding down
like a battery ever since. Should they need God He would be invited
into a situation (like the formation of a Revolution against Great
Britain), with no true guarantee he would show up.
The Church today is more like that than we think. Contemplate that a
moment. How have you viewed the first two chapters of Genesis? Six
days and done, and one day to take a breather? Then how do we explain
the continuance of the Creation as we watch trees die and new ones
appear? A baby being born, living 80 years and dying, and new babies
being born?
A built in cycle that is operating within the greater framework of the
larger project eventually just petering out?
OR…a God Who has injected Himself into the very pores of existence
100% all in?
What He (Jesus) has Created He Sustains?
Well…actually, we have to believe that because as I proved
yesterday, it is the Word of God.
And just Who is that Word? Who is that Creator? It's Jesus.
John 1:1 (AMP) – "IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word
(Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself."
It would (should) shock us to realize how many believers are going to
be surprised upon reading this that Jesus actually, 1). is God, and
2). that He is the Creator of the everything.
John 1:2-3 (AMP) – "He was present originally with God. 3 All things
were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not
even one thing made that has come into being."
That alone shows us that Jesus didn't stop after seven days, that
even 4,000 years past that He was still involved in Creating
(Incarnation, Death, Burial, Resurrection, Ascension) that even today
manifested in His intercession from the throne of Heaven, and in the
CREATING of new Creations in Christ multiple times daily (2 Cor.
5:17).
Most of us haven't looked at it like that, or even more mind blowing,
His involvement in the breakdown and recreating moments in our lives.
This is the stuff that keep the eggheads awake.
Continuous Creating is the very nature of Who Jesus/God is.
Hebrews 1:3 (AMP) – "He is the sole expression of the glory of God
[the Light- being, the out- raying or radiance of the divine], and He
is the perfect imprint and very image of [God's] nature, upholding and
maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word
of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing
of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the
divine Majesty on high."
Remember? From yesterday? This is Matrix stuff. What Jesus Created
He has Sustained. How can He sustain it but by His moment by moment
continual creating? NOT just recreating the human spirit, but continually creating, as real
as Genesis 7 day creating.
Brain hurt yet? Don't just set it down or refuse to engage it. It's a
revelation to His love and dedication and care for you as His crowning
glory of creation. He made you. He continues to sustain you.
HE sustains you. Can you believe that? Not just with water, but Living Water. Not just bread, but Bread of Life.
Hebrews 11:3 (AMP) – "By faith we understand that the worlds [during
the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and
equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what
we see was not made out of things which are visible."
I did mention this was "reloaded" correct? That's because I want you
to get the most important issue.
Jesus sustains you. How He does that is deep, mind blowing, brain challenging.
That's why Paul says we need to understand by FAITH.
We have not struggled with an ancient Creation that took 7 days, but
we will balk at the momentary second by second, day by day sustaining
of that Creation by which every conceptual understanding of grace,
healing, salvation, etc. is predicated.
Jesus created and sustains. In there is your healing. Your loved one's
salvation. Your very eternal life.
In there is why Paul says God's grace is our sufficiency.
If you can wrap your brain, but most importantly your faith, around
that today, you will soar to new places.
