​ Church history

 
            “But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built!”- I Kings 8:27
King Solomon pondered on the reality of the God of the universe dwelling among humans here on Earth. The wises man who ever lived; this very thought “blew his mind!” This was in another time within a different generation. How our philosophies can or will change based on culture through generations. Nevertheless, the Word of God nor God Himself does not change. This very truth of God dwelling among humans has since come to past. The Word of God dwells within the new hearts of human’s moral conscience.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: Jeremiah 31:33 & 34 “ ‘This is the covenant I will make with God people of Iseral after that time, ‘declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘ Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,, declares the Lord, ‘For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.’ “)
What was Jesus’ mindset when He vision His very own ministry? The church; thus, the assembly of believers. This is what the word “church” meant during the day Jesus was walked this Earth? It meant gathering or body of believers within one common belief.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: Acts 11:26- “and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch, So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.”
When the word “Christians” was born, the meaning represented what Jesus had in mind for His ministry. Whereby we know a church as a building, a business, a spiritual community hospital for the spiritually sick… the sinners. Do we all belong to the church?  No. Are we all welcomed to the church? Yes! Why did Jesus envision a gathering of people who all represent a single belief of knowing and worshipping the true God? Why did the Son of God Himself set out on a quest to create a specific identity of culture; one that would not die through the test of time, one that would evolve through generations of wickedness? We cannot put the Kingdom of God in a box. We cannot continue to make it something acceptable today. What is the culture of the Kingdom of God? Answer: We are as salt on the Earth placed in this world to preserve and contain the taste of the goodness of the Lord within His Kingdom. Jesus established this quest through the seed of faith. This seed was created within humanity through Abram, God’s servant who God set a path towards a journey of life while here on Earth. He believed what he heard the Word of God say and this was credited to him as righteousness by God.
(SPIRTUAL REFLECTION: Genesis 15:6 “Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness”)
The Word of God became flesh.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: John 1: 1&2 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning”
And that flesh envision are established church; a culture and assembly of a culture of one people living through the unified conscience of a single belief.

​why the blood on the cross? The force of nature (Earth)

        You have a friend in life that you feel safe to confine into and bare your emotions? Someone who would be worth thousand of dollars as a counselor, however, they listen and are willing to hear your words and understand your heart simply because of their chastity. Such a person can place their hands upon you with an intensity of a physical touch which can bring you to tears as you’re growing through seasons in life with suffering, plus, connect on a level of deep intimacy with a simple hug. My wife when we first were married and we were feeling our aftermath, honeymoon phase, would tell me when I would hug her, she would feel that the demons would flee. People are involved with relationships, plus, live within communities to assist one another in carrying our burdens. Who can measure or compare their pain against their neighbor or someone else? To them (our neighbor) their pain hurts; to us our pain hurts. Empathy is connecting on that level of pain which one can identify. Pain cannot be measured; it can only be felt. Our culture engulfs the meaning of the church to embrace healing within the environment. The healing is market to the ones who are suffering within the community. The church within a culture should resemble the nature of a hospital within a community.
            A hospital is a business which helps the sick, ill and disable. This very concept captures the heart to the “why” of a hospital business. The way to make money is to understand people then find a way to help the people whom you understand. In return you are able to make a profit. The concept behind the flow of currency or the way money is made is that you add value to the world, and you compensated for that value. Everything is relevant when talking about money. People become very emotionally attached. The reason for the feelings is not always good reasons. Human nature tends to bring one’s heart to a darker character when dealing with the nature of money. Jesus says it is more difficult for a rich man to enter into the gates of heaven than it is for a camel to go through an eye of a needle. (SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: Mathew 19: 23 & 24)
Read these scriptures Mathew Chapter 7: 7& 8 then verses 13& 14
            The question to ask is why only a few find the narrow road? Which road is easier to find then travel, the wide road or the narrow road? Answer: the wide road. What is the difference of something that is difficult and something which is impossible? Difficult is a hard task or something which takes much work and/or force to complete. Something that is impossible cannot be done.
It reads in Hebrew 11:6- “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him”
Why only a few find the narrow road? Answer: only a few truly seek it. Knowledge change one perspective of reality. In today’s generation, spiritual maturity, to accept and express simple spiritual characteristics of humanity is demanded among the churches of the nations. The seven churches referred to in Chapter two and three of the Book of Revelation in the Bible reflects the maturity of the first Christian churches. We see from the Book of Acts, Jesus’ desired Christians to cultivate His nature within our relationships and communities throughout the world. This is the only way to win the heart of humanity and overcome evil within humankind. This is the plan; there is no Plan “B”. God desires His name and Word to grow through generations much as you would use and see manure enrich the soil for plants to grow in forest and gardens.
Read this foundation which God established among His people in the scripture in the Book of Deuteronomy Chapter 6, Verses 1-5- “These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me to teach you to observes in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, so that you, your children and their children and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you”
This is the heart of our God. Who will carry the banner for our God?

The Nature of the Cross

             What is the problem with human nature? I honestly feel from the bottom of my heart that the core of humanity is good. I’m not lost… or blind… or in denial. I see the world. I see murder daily; rape regularly, child neglect, child abuse, child molesting lingering in the Catholic church. I know human trafficking is vicious. I’m aware that slavery was real only a few generations ago within our past right here in our great nation of U.S.A. And it is still legal in some parts of the world. We are still presently overcoming racial, gender, religious prejudice within our home culture of America. I know about domestic abuse. I used to steal like a pirate myself when I was adolescence. I also used foul language like a sailor. I know people are sinful to their core. I’m aware of our present state within humanity. However, I also see architecture structure upon the backdrop of spectacular landscape. I see the incredible infrastructure building within the genius mindset of civil engineers. I see the beauty of art within museums, plus within historical monuments as well as classical and present paintings. I hear the amazon sound of good music with multiple genres. I’ve eaten great cuisine among several cultures of civilization. We have great cities and established governments. We’ve built planes, trains, and automobiles. We’ve written literature to fill volume of books to fill libraries by the thousands. The Holy Spirit used the hands of humans to assist in writing the Bible. I feel if the nature of humanity was not worth saving, God would not have made an intend to save us- Where is God’s heart on this matter, within the scripture:
            “To whom can I speak and give warning? Who will listen to me? Their ears are closed so they cannot hear. The word of the Lord is offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it. But I am full of the wrath of the Lord, and I cannot hold it in. ‘Pour it out on the children in the street and on the young men gathered together: both husband and wife will be caught in it, and the old, those who live in the land.’ declare the Lord. ‘From the least to the greatest all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say; when there is no peace. Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush.
                                                                                                                        Jeremiah 6:10- 15
            God also is not blind. He is not in denial. He is not ignorant of sin. What is the heart behind human nature? What does it mean to love; brotherly love unconditionally, plus, have a pure heart towards God as a creator? Who are human to have such a nature. Reflect upon this scripture- 
                        “Therefore the showers have been withheld and no spring rains have fallen. Yet you have the brazen look of a prostitute; you refuse to blush with shame.”- Jeremiah 3:3
What is it for a man to blush in shame? Have you ever seen a grown man blush? Is this actually a masculine trait? Who are we to see God through pure eyes? Who are we to see this world as He gazes upon us. Consider Jesus’ nature:
            “Jesus wept.”- John 11:35
            “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. – Luke 13:34
Jesus is a man after God’s image. Humans were created in God’s image. The core of the nature of God is that God is love. (SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: I John 4:16-21 & John 13: 34, 35) We as humans are commanded to love. This is the purpose of humanity; to overcome wickedness through the force of love. And only through the aid of the Father can we overcome injustice. Consider God’s heart within this scripture about His chosen people; the nation of Israel:
            “Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds. Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that just justice is perverted.”
                                                                                                            Habakkuk 1:3,4
God morns. God grieves and yet has compassion. God force of sympathy goes beyond human compacity of empathy. God is just. He will balance and judge good and evil. He will restart nature and embrace a new Earth. It says so in His Word. What is the problem with human nature. Humanity must come to God on His terms. One who seek to know God must come to God on His term. God is holy and He calls us to be holy.
            “The Lord said to Moses, Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them; ‘Be holy because I, the Lord you God, am holy.” – Leviticus 19: 1, 2
Nature will be in harmony with humanity and God will establish His Spirit to dwell among humans on His terms. This will assist the problem with our present human nature.

​A new beginning

 
            When the bills are paid; while your kids are getting good great grades, when they are pleasant conversations and laughter among the neighbors- the sidewalks are filled with citizens & their pets… swans and docks glazed effortlessly over the park’s pond, no families quarrel, no community violence while one may rest quietly outside or inside on a hammock or a sofa. When there’s no war and there is peace. Nations needs to fight for this peace. It does not come naturally in human nature… well not yet; our group conscience has not developed to that state, yet, I’m hopeful that one day we can achieve this state of being as a species. I honestly believe humans can obtain the nature to possess peace among humanity.
            Nevertheless, this won’t come without obtaining inner peace. Communities cannot live in harmony as long as inner quarrels are within people. Jesus demonstrates such a level of humanity.
            “All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid, “ – John 14:25-27


What is this peace Jesus speaks about? Simply solitude even when noise fills their air; enjoying the screams of the infants, find the melody of the toads within the swamps. When the car breaks down, however, you do not sweat the circumstances. When you chose to pay the electric bill to keep the lights on then at same time you don’t worry about the empty refrigerator to find the food to place on the stove. This is called serenity. This is also known as Jesus’ peace. The Holy Spirit dwelling within one’s character much like water flows through a living plant. This is the peace Christianity have found as they walk their journey here on Earth, Hell is present but the Kingdom of Heaven reign.
            “What cause fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want so you quarrel and fight? You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures” – James 4:1-3
We have come a long distance from the beginning of time. Humanity have somewhat matured in our spiritual walk with God. We obviously still have a long journey to continue. Last Day, End of Age, Armageddon; humans have much to understand and desire before true peace reaches a solid state in human beings.
            “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus” – Philippians 4:7
Let’s embrace this task together. Like a convoy, let’s travel the distance far from this state of heart we presently obtain; far in the east to far from the west. Let God give us a new heart with a new mind which is set upon Him for a new Earth under the new administration of Heaven for the same purpose of humanity; love, justice & liberity.  

​I WANT TO FLY IN THE SPIRIT; FORCE OF WIND

 
            Only the Lord can perfectly balance justice and love. Knowing God brings understanding the knowing of truth. Is there an absolute truth upon this Earth? What in life can we be certain about? Is faith the certainty of knowing what is real regardless of seeing it physically?
            “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
                                                                                                                        Hebrew 11:1
            You may talk with a girl as a man pursuing her into a deeper relationship. But you know her only after experiencing an intimate relationship with her. The Greek word “ginosko” means to know based on experience. This is a word found in the Bible based on original Greek text. This is the type of knowing before we are aware of faith. Before we become familiar with the Spirit
            “Why does the Almighty not set times for judgement? Why must those who know him look in vain for such days? - Job 24:1
Job knew he had a relationship with God. And Job knew this before he physically saw or heard Him. When do we come to term with being aware of what is right & wrong? Are we born with this talent? Does it come as we reach puberty? … or when do we develop a conscience? What is a conscience? How does this part of the psychic with the understanding of truth and wrong; good & bad, sick or normal, truth and justice? How does one establish a deeper understanding of what is right; how does one know which way one should live? What must one obtain to gain a career? How does one understand what the benefit is in leverage of money? Can this reality of money within the relationship with God steal His fruit of joy? How does one know? One may be able to arrive at a utopia here on Earth. The Bible is the Word of God. In the New Testament it reads “The Good News” of Jesus Christ, the Son of God as the gospel. We can find in the scriptures what is true. It reads through the spirit and mind of humans. When one becomes familiar with scripture it opens the ability to know the Lord. More like a constant memory of good meal. Do you read the Bible?
            Because then I would tell you that all ability to rise in the Spirit and fly to touch the outer limits of the Earth is possible for everyone who overcomes this world. Since anyone who seeks to find a relationship with the creator of the universe will find Him. Anything moving (searching) can be found only after we know ourselves within the presence with a plan to execute a strategy. Not so much an eternal plan but a focus point; a plan still to submit to His Will. The will that we find in Him as the creator of the universe. In the spiritual realm when the plan connects with faith it will ignite into the fire of the Word traveling further than life reveals. When we grow in understanding of this process, we move to know Him intimately and we’re able to understand a better balance of truth and love. The fragrance travels further for the synergy of faith ignites the distance of communication… unto the skies and we know the meaning of seeing God.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: Psalms: 35:1 &2- “Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me; Take up shield and armor; arise and come to my aid.”

​OUR EYES WITNESS WHY…

            You become aware, while watching the news, of a neighbor, middle-aged male who lives alone not far from your home. You learn the police surrounded his home and arrested him. He alleged of molesting several girls in a local school who were around the age of twelve. A few weeks later you see on the news again while you’re at home that the same neighbor was not going to attend trail because he was found dead while incarcerated. You find yourself leaning closer to the television with a curious thought; was he dead because of murder or suicide? The question arrives in your conscious was this considered bad or justice?
            Again, there is a coworker you know, an outgoing but properly polite human being. You rarely speak with the person, but you are aware this person is a homosexual. There is no shame or hiding towards their sexuality; as the expression goes, this person is one who wears their heart on their sleeve. One day you overhear rumors in the break room. Apparently, this coworker body was found in the dumpster. A sick feeling enters your stomach. You definitely question the ethics of justice or the morality of your environment; the vibes of your environment… what you use to find humorous and laugh about together within the break room.
            Jesus faced injustice. We are aware of this fact. Nevertheless, there comes an ah-ah moment within everyone’s eyes when we realize that Jesus was a legit person and not just an idea. Knowing God is a relationship not a subject. Understanding the nature of humanity we’re able to witness that only God balance justice and love. What does it mean to balance justice and love? Justice is the consequences of sin growing within humanity to the third and fourth generations. (Genesis 20:5 & 6) Love endures forever. (I Corinthians 13: 8) God is love. (I John 4:8) Nevertheless, God is a just God. There is a judgement and outcome to one’s sinful nature. However, we should be able to see that we as humans cannot outshine the morality of injustice. One cannot possibly understand the how and why things happen within their life as they encounter the outcome of their fate. We blame karma; question superstitions beliefs, have emotional outburst and episodes, yet, a solid sound answer we never find. Human cannot balance justice and love

​WE ARE IN HIS IMAGE

            Consider a song you like to hum or sing to yourself. Isn’t it easy to reminisce the rhythm or immediately recognize the melody? It is something you know quickly when only hearing a few notes. You would love to be challenged with this particular song if ever you found yourself as a contestant on “Name That Tune”. Or consider one of your favorite food dishes. Something easy to recognize by smell; your saliva connects instantly with your taste buds when thinking about the experience of eating it. Plus, you are brought to satisfaction while eating and become new again to an old pleasure, somewhat like a childhood memory. Now consider the meaning behind this scripture:
            “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me- just as the Father knows me and I know the Father- and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring then also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life- only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”
                                                                                                                        John 10: 14- 18
What does it mean for Jesus to know you? What does it mean for you to know your spouse? Is it possible for another existing entity to be intimate with you? Is it possible for the creator of the universe to really know you so intimately and it still be good? Do you feel good about Jesus knowing you? Do you dance to the rhythm of the music of heavenly angels? Are you comfortable knowing that your Messiah died for you? Do you feel that He needed too? Why… why such deadly blood for the simplicity of pure justice? Who are we to question the audacity of grace? What day will come when all this reasoning will change? How can pain balance the currency of fate? Where does the moral flow? What does it mean to be a God… a creator of the universe? This is what it means to be good.

​GET IN THE GAME, THE FORCE OF LOVE

            There is a popular saying when it comes to passion or work ethics for a central cause or purpose which is, “it doesn’t matter until you put some skin in the game.” What does this quote mean? Like the thought, “until you sweat blood you have not endured pain.”, when you put your heart or something of personal value within a situation the outcome matters to you. This is the bloodline of evangelism. Until you are able to cry for the lost, you will never work hard enough to save them. Nevertheless, how are we able to judge, in other words, who do we know is saved, how can we condemn one who is lost. Empathy does not happen without action. Sympathy allows one to see someone else’s pain while empathy causes one to be repugnant and do something about the pain they witness. Empathy is the cornerstone of Christianity. We see in the Book of James, Chapter 2 the argument of faith without the proper lifestyle is meaningless.
“What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about the physical needs, what good is it? In the same way faith by itself, if it is not companied by action, is dead.”
                                                                                                James 2:14- 17
If we don’t adopt the proper attitude towards being a Christian, we will never successfully grasp the concept of being a Christian. Love is a verb. It is action. It is a moving force. Read this scripture in I John and allow it to marinate in your heart & mind.
“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgement: In this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fear is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command. Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.”- I John 4:16- 21
Now consider the cross; the single act of love/pain/passion and salvation. Read the scripture in II Corinthians and think about the driving force within humanity based on the love Jesus Christ has for our creation.
“If we are ‘out of our mind’, as some say, it is for you. For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one dies for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.”
                                                                                                            II Corinthians 5:13- 15
Why does one fight to guard the gospel? Where does the journey of evangelism cease? To what end of the Earth are our treasures found? Where are the horizons for our eyes to glimpse into eternity? How are we capable?

​JESUS PROFESSION

                Jesus was a caregiver. We may have become aware of this, perhaps some of us have not. Nevertheless, I want to address the term base on our modern day understanding.
            “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gather her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing”- Matthew 23: 37
Some illustrations from the Bible gives a clear perspective of an image from the spiritual realms. Especially, those dealing with animals- “descending on him like a dove”, “on the hills like a sheep without a shepherd”, “they will soar on wings like an eagle”.
            “The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the cobra’s den, the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters covers the sea”- Isaiah 11:6- 9
In the illustration in the scripture which I am highlighting on for this article (Matthew 23:37) we see Jesus’ heart of compassion for His people; God’s people, the offsprings of the nation of Israel. Here we see an image of the hen’s wings over her chicks, passionately, yet masculine power of protection for His young. Caregivers can experience a noticeable amount of stress; 35% caregivers take care of someone 50+ and reports it being highly stressful, 4-10 caregivers of people of 50+ are highly stressed. We usually don’t picture our Savior and King as a person who was distressed. This missing image of our redeemer leaves a void in the picture. What is it for Jesus to experience salvation without the experience of walking within this life in our shoes? What is it to be human and not understand joy & pain. What does it mean to know God’s heart bleeding for His people and not listen to the lyrics of His songs on Lamentation? Jesus was depressed. Although, he did not remain in this mental state throughout His life. What is the moral of Gethsemane?
            “And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground”- Luke 22:44
Consider Jesus with the professional term “trauma dump” His loved ones, the multiple issues within His personal life as He was going through daily therapy sessions which He heard, plus, he personally felt. Think about it, who was Jesus’ therapist? - Answer: His prayers. Where did His sorrow fall? How was His stress extorted?
            “Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. ‘Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?’, he asked Peter.”- Matthew 26: 40
Consider the professional term “vicarious trauma” when it comes to Jesus’ psychic make-up. We know he was mentally healthy. Here we see how & why our Savior could be an intercessor for us as a human shield…. He has the experience.

The darkness before dawn

 
            Prepare mentally to grasp depth of spirituality and understanding. Not so much that the knowledge is hard to comprehend. However, much like lacking the ability to actually hear the lyrics of a song because of the tempo and depth of the music, we may lose the meaning of words as we would lose the tree in a forest. If you have not notice, I don’t spend much time trying to argue the truth of the gospel. The meaning is simple, and the message is pure. One may have already made up their minds to believe or not believe what I consider (within my opinion) to be true. Similar to this line of thinking the heart behind the philosophy od the Force of Nature does not spend much time explaining the existence or spiritual craftiness of the devil. Nevertheless, Satan is real. And just as much as you cannot try to lose weight seriously if you don’t acknowledge a proper diet and/or course of physical exercise. You really will not grow spiritually if you remain ignorant of Satan. Jesus has already defeated the schemes, stronghold of the devil on humanity. We simply need to submit our will to Jesus’ teachings, testimony, and evidence of His resurrection. The concept I have for the philosophy of The Force of Nature is to sweeten the fruits of the Spirit and enrichen the soil of the hearts as well as build deeper roots within our spiritual walk of salvation. There is some information of spiritual darkness and the will of evil which I will explain to gain a greater depth of knowledge. Consider the environment and scene whereby Jesus battles Satan for the conquest of His Kingdom.
“At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven,’ You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.’ At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.” – Mark 1: 9-13     
Time was scarce in Jesus’ intercession with the Devil. Yes, they connected within the heart of all eternity. Nevertheless, the actual moment of confrontation was considerately short in comparison to Jesus’ life here on Earth. This brings my thought to the first principle of spiritual morality, yet it is the only one which engulfs all aspect towards humanity… time. How time is illustrated for the lifespan of a human is as a detailed work of art (like flowers, snowflakes, seashells, stars) in the vast, of creation (sky, space, seasons, ocean, and daylight)
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: “Mortals, born of woman, are of few days and full of trouble. They spring up like flowers and wither away; like fleeting shadows, they do not endure”- Job 14: 1 & 2
“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.”- II Peter 3:8)
Satan can enter to tempt humans in three ways, although he may not be limit to just these three methods. But for the purpose of our understanding to obtain spiritual growth, I will focus on three which I’ve notice illustrated in Jesus’ 40 days & 40 nights of temptation.        
            “Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, ‘If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. ‘If you are the Son of God,” he said, ‘throw yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone’ Jesus answered him, ‘It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’’ Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor, ‘All this I will give you”, he said, “If you will bow down and worship me.’  Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only. ‘Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.”- Mathew 4:1-11
Satan can enter our minds as we see Jesus’ hunger of food for His stomach force Him to base his thoughts to focus to the rocks on the ground. We do not know why the scares nutrition of food was Jesus, fuel for spiritual strength, but we do see that Jesus knew something to be true at that moment within His life; He should not be eating. Satan can also affect us physically here on Earth. We know of mental illness, physical sickness, and disease which we see humans suffer on Earth. These things did not originate from God. We also notice Satan enhancing Jesus’ eyes upon pride to gain approval of authority. Satan offered Jesus all the splendor of the nations by simply bowing down to worship him. This physical temptation I want to point out link to other wickedness (much as weeds working on the lives of other plants in the garden) The third form Satan use to attack humans for their souls is where I want to focus much of our attention for the next few articles and lessons I write on this platform. Satan will try to enter our hearts and leave seeds of dark emotions. When Satan told Jesus to give up believing His own name and jump off the mountain to prove it, this attack Jesus’ spirit. He knew angels were His allegiance, however, He also understood that to test God for more grace was not good. Emotionally Jesus suffered a deep a pain of sadness. Something that would be within Him as long as He walked upon this Earth. It would remain deep within His spirit until it finally erupted and fulfilled itself in nature of growth at His death. Jesus dealt with depression. I believe this for it read that He was tempted by all measures use upon human within the scriptures. In fact, depression is a very common characteristic within modern Christians’ lifestyle; plus, throughout history within godly walking and godly fearing humans. Consider the prophet Jeremiah and the mighty faithful man of God, Job. Job saw his days of sadness. Depression was definitely not far from him. And Jeremiah wrote the songs of Lamentations, the Book in the Bible which illustrate the tears of Israel as a nation. Where the dark days fits within the matrix of time through history & reveals a new generation then reflects a constant non changing line of communication throughout civilization. There is a central message within humanity; thus, lamenting.
            I want to let this thought lead you as a reader to my original principle of time. I’ve written the concept that the philosophy of one belief system leads them into knowledge which then grows through synergy of likeminded believers who share the same belief system. The best illustration of this process which I see is a seed descending from a tree and after it dies merges within the soil becomes the development of another tree and then to a forest. We have information which is communicated to grow into knowledge then through synergy the rate of growth increases as like technology, and it then forms a new birth within its proper season and new knowledge comes. It’s through this process the pathway of faith is formed. The information I had within my childhood was process at a greater rate than the information my parents were processing during their childhood. My son is growing within a generation today which has information at a much greater rate than I had while I grew up.
            As we look through history, we see the growth of communication. We notice telecommunication developing within the dawning of the 20th century. Society used S.O.S. codes on radars and talked on walkie-talkies. Telephone communication was formed in the late 1800’s This moved through generations of transportation of trains, cars, and planes. Information became available on a television. Today we find information on computers and the internet and business practice operates through Zoom meetings and/or a Team platform. People travel today at the birth of the 21st century with GPS’s. When the Titanic sank, news awakens the force within society to utilize its resources. The administration of the ship sent out a destress signal, however, the closes source to receive the signal was over 4 hours away. By the time helped arrived at the scene the ship had already sunk. People begin to realize that the telecommunication information which at the time only the military were using should be implemented among the community and among common citizens. Whereby more people could have been available and aware of the immediate danger and been able to create the proper channels to save the ship.
            This is as the growth of faith. When we see dark days within our lives our eyes should hold focus on the dawn coming upon the horizon. The danger of looking in the past with uncertainty or fear can cloud our vision of the presence tense. The Christian eyes should be focus upon the goals of the promise future. What we gain in the past has no value to the course Christ has for our lives tomorrow. One should not be dismay by the suffering he/she may witness as life lessons teaches one to persevere. In the scriptures, Paul a man of rich credentials, social status, religious & political knowledge shows his heart for God after Christ blinded him with light then called him to spread the gospel to the Gentiles. As Saints we are to pass the banner salvation from one generation to another. Time reveals its purpose to those who awaits patiently for God to faithfully fulfill its course according to His Will.

​WHERE THE WIND BLOWS… WHY THE FORCE OF NATURE?

                I write. I share my experience, strength and hope simply to embrace the message placed upon my heart. It is a good message. Something which no one would want to keep a secret. There simply is an understanding that the creator of the universe cares and hears my beacon call. Because He loves me, and I desire to do His Will. There is a line of communication as one would see plants such as flowers reach up to touch some force of nature such as the stars. The Force of Nature surrounds its elements of power and submit its character base on this reality of truth. In other words, because I know God exist and He cares, I continuously search out His heart and reach my small hands in attempt to connect with Him. He is faithful and compassionate enough to respond back to me.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us- whatever we ask- we know that we have what we asked of him.”-  I John 5: 14 & 15
            Nothing reveals more peace than to realize that every time I pray in line with God’s Word, He hears my prayer. And if He hears me then based on His promise within his Word, He responds towards granting me the desires of my heart. You may feel this is true based on my opinion and personal beliefs of faith. Or you may realize it is a real grounded fact of biology or physics or psychology based on biblical reasoning and spiritual certainty. The only difference between a Christian and a normal citizen is the reality that a Christian life a lifestyle rooted on searching out for biblical answers and reasoning his thoughts according to the physical evidence of an existing God. Christians then base their belief system on the teaching of God’s son, Jesus Christ according to the gospel found in the Bible. I will continue to write and share what I witness to be good news. I will continue to teach and preach the moral effectiveness and evidence of the philosophy of The Force of Nature. I will continue to grow and feel the depth within my spirit that I am obeying and following the will of God. I will continue to feel these words which He wants you to know.

​Food for the force of nature
One Faith, One Body, One Baptism
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: Ephesians 4:4-6)

 
            We are all given one mother. This person within our lives carries an unique path of characteristics. Much as our father whom this person is within our lives is very key to how our personality develops. Rather a biological father is present or absent within a child’s life builds a significant trait to who that child develops to be as an adult. Our mothers hold a special place in our heart for unconditional love or meaningful words heard and/or felt within our childhood. We should all know what it means to hear our Mom say to us, “I love you.” These words from this specific person gives rare treasure towards our soul for our entire life. We can not replace the spiritual meaning of who are our parents.
            Now in the work industry we hear an expression which is, “Any one of us can be replaced.” There is no position or job that only one person can hold and possess with their life. However, as we just read, this concept is not true as parents. This moral should also be illustrated spiritually with our walk with God. No matter which church we belong to or what religion we possess as our testament to our lifestyle and doctrine, every human being should have a unique and personal experience with God which identifies His presence within their lives no matter what any human may say to us.
(You say,” Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.” – I Corinthians 6:13
This scripture may seem queer to the line of thinking witness within this article. However, I am using it point out a central theme. Give to the flesh what is physical and to God what is spiritual. Much as food is to our taste buds and as animal’s instinct recognize what is natural and understand this desire as to what is good for them and what is bad. We know what food agrees with our taste buds. We also (much as newborns) understand this desire and naturally eat what our body craves. We all know our mother’s breast milk. Likewise, we should all know God is Spirit and naturally thirst for his good nature. When we feed the Spirit, our spirituality grows. When we feed the flesh, our body grows. Our physical body digest, nurtures and transforms physical food to natural energy. Our spirit operates within the same moral process. Understanding this concept is important in reading the synergy of our faith within the light of The Force of Nature.

​His kingdom; Jesus’ kingdom of heaven

            In this generation, the early stages of the 21st century, we are able to witness the transition of dynasty of power. In one of our mother lands of America, England (not to ignore the two other recessive cultures of America’s origin; thus, Africa & Native Indians). We witness the transitions of the queendom of Queen Elizabeth to the kingdom of King Charlse. Here we able to witness the transfer of power, government realms, political ethics, and administration leadership. It makes sense to us to know the difference of rulership base on a change of king or queen as we witness it within physical and pollical power within our Earthly human system. Why does it seem so confusing to understand the same moral within the spiritual realms?
            The birth, death, resurrection, and testimony of Jesus Christ reveals the transition of God’s Kingdom here on Earth. In the scriptures within the Book of Mark it reads:
            “The time has come, ‘he said. ‘The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news.” – Mark 1:15.
Now this message is also written in the Book of Mathew: “and saying, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” – Mathew 3:2
Then again in the Book of Mathew: “From that time on Jesus began to preach, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” – Mathew 4:17
If we look carefully, we will notice two terminologies given, “the Kingdom of God”, and “the Kingdom of Heaven”. However, within either interpretation we witness the same central concept. God’s Heavenly realms is being transfer and incorporated in Earth physical realms of moral authority. God’s administration is dominating and transitioning to human’s regime. Now I choose to use these specific scriptures to illustrate this concept purposely for one scripture reads God’s Kingdom and the other reads Heaven’s Kingdom. Nevertheless, I feel it is a waste of time and beneath the central point to emphasize the technical meaning within translations. Regardless on how you choose to read the words it is clear that upon Jesus’ arrival, and upon His time of overcoming Satan temptations and/or authority, all forms of leadership upon central administration here on Earth was given to His Kingdom (the Kingdom of Heaven of God’s Kingdom). As we study out scriptures and read deeper into the meaning, we realize that Jesus’ Kingdom is eternal, spiritual, overcoming physical characteristics and transitioning through time, life & death, plus, dominating good over evil. We see through these scriptures that Jesus Kingdom (much as we witness transitions of kingdoms within human’s culture here on Earth) changes the administration of Earth from the time of B.C. to A.D.; thus, God’s covenant with humans changed.
            This illustration of change of authority is keen, however, this concept which I feel is important within this article is the nature of this information. God’s Kingdom is moving. Much as you would believe that a government administration would continue to grow based on a transition of kings so does Heaven’s Kingdom here on Earth continues to grow, move, evolve and expand in identity here on Earth. People often think the Kingdom of Heaven as a destination or a resting place which transpires spiritually after they pass through this physical realm here on Earth; thus, die. Often it is not a mentality to understand God’s Kingdom as a present administration here on Earth which is growing in creed, moral & ethic power to enrichen our lives, souls, and spirit here on Earth. Often people witness the Kingdom of Heaven as some type of utopia in the future, not a presence moving force within their present live now. However, I challenge your thoughts on this matter, consider Jesus’ Kingdom within the same manner as you would witness a dynasty or administration of a kingdom transitioning here within your present generation. I’m sure this mentality will open doors towards your faith to power within the spiritual realms beyond what you may not presently imagine.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: Ephesians 3:20-21)

NEW BIRTH FROM THE ORIGINAL SIN



            There are seven churches which Jesus’ testimony addresses within the premise parts of Revelation. There are seven central cultures forming the fruits which create the forest of the central belief system of the Church. Revelation is a book written to illustrate the generation of the last era; Armageddon, or the philosophy of our second judgement. Are these seven churches addressed in chapter two and three in the Book of Revelation the outline of the entire culture for Jesus’ church during the last days? Much as you would see a seed (Jesus’ live) die and then multiply a 100 times (His Apostles, and then follower of believers; the disciples) to create one forest you must see faith grow and produce fruits which grow within the proper soil, spiritual water, and within the proper environment of sunlight (in this case spiritual light is used as a metaphor to sunlight).
            The Force of Nature is this process in real life and in real time. Much as you see philosophies mature into knowledge and then technology over an era of time and generations. So, you can read the synergy within the spiritual realms of what transpire to give humans eternal life. Upon the consequences of the original sin, we see our creator reaction to curse humans (as well as all life form here on Earth) with the outcome of death. This process is then outshined through the testimony, death & resurrection of our Savior and Messiah, Jesus Christ. The Force of Nature gives a single interpretation of this concept. Much like as a family of fruits or plants (such as the citrus family or melon family) the original seven churches reflected with the premise of the Book of Revelation outlines characteristics of our present era and social culture. What you read is an illustration of what to expect as well as who we are as a people. Through understanding the fate of these churches, we can see God’s heart towards His nation of Iseral. Curiosity towards the revealing of God’s heart is the key to receiving longevity, happiness and peace.

​The Art of Salvation; THE FORCE OF WATER

            A relationship with Jesus Christ, this is the goal one must obtain, not a sinless life or a righteous heart. These things we cannot obtain without Jesus. And it is through the growth of a relationship with Him that we understand this point. I am in the business of sales. Actually, I’ve worked many trades within the labor force lifestyles. However, sales is the mindset of financial income, I plan to retire into as a career. I’ve learned the art of communicating and listening to people. It does not matter what product or service you sale, it all follows the same process. There is a need, or problem, and then one (a salesperson) offers a solution or answer to that need or problem. This solution is then tailored so their product or service fits the customer’s lifestyle. It doesn’t matter what product or service you’re sailing; all sales process moves through these steps. Rather it is a computer, a car, a phone, a pair of sneakers, or a pet grooming salon, a restaurant meal, a cleaning service, or a gym membership;  a customer express a need or desire to obtain a reason to fix a certain problem then a sales person offers their business to meet that solution, a monetary value is discussed and agreed upon and a trade of good and/or service is made ( a contract).
            The words used to communicate this process may change depending on the situation, however, the theme is still the same. Much like a sci-fi theme, or romance story or even a western, we have a central theme; the story, plot, actor, characters, scenery may vary in detail or (with sales) the monetary numbers or scenarios, but the mindset of the contract is still the same. What it takes to make a sale process is a standard theme tailored made to fit an individual customer. This philosophy is also true in the moral of salvation. The theme of Christianity is a relationship with Christ. The reason the words are the same is because the theme never changes from one soul to another. One human seeks salvation because their soul thirst for spiritual water, thus one realizes their soul needs to be saved. They seek an answer to feel that void within their lives and the only true answer for that need is Jesus. Now the moral of counterfeit answers is saved for another argument. For now, the focus is the destination for all humans’ paths is to reach the same goal of eternity in Heaven. The moral of who is God or why is Jesus is the right answer or even why can’t Satan justify humans’ need is spared for another discussion and conversation. Really, this is not going to be entertained at this moment because it had already been fully revealed within previous articles and passages, I’ve written on this website. At this point of lessons, the basic concept of Jesus is Lord is deeply understood or eternally lost. People did not want to accept the Son of God as the Savior for humanity over 2000yrs ago. Where’s the evidence of why we think we grew wiser today. We have been given the gift of freewill. If we choose not to follow the path of salvation wisely, we forfeit our souls. It is no mystery. It’s no surprise. At this point of comprehensive one can focus on enrichening the soil of the heart to develop sweeter spiritual fruit.
            “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”- I Corinthians 1:18

The Reasons for the Season; THE SEED FOR THE FORCE OF NATURE

 
            What does it mean to submit ourselves to the order of God’s authority? Well pertaining to the Heavens governing Earth, this mindset will sustain for God being in control… if you follow this philosophy. But how do we develop the right heart to obey God? Are we born naturally to disobey? Without much argument about the truth of this point, we know that all humans sin and fall short of obtaining the glory of God.
            “There is no difference between Jews and Gentiles, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”                                                                                                                           Romans 3:22- 25
Nevertheless, rather it is our personal fault for this defect in human nature we need to accept that it is real. Regardless of how hard we try or how much human effort we put into accomplishing this goal, we will not be able to save ourselves from eternal condemnation. It is for this reason Jesus was born, came upon this Earth, grew into manhood, was brutally beaten and crucified (for no convicting moral reason) and was resurrected and raised from the dead after three days. It is for this very point everyone needs Jesus. Humanity needs a Savior. If Marvel or DC Comics ever were mindful enough to create a reality superhero, the Son of God would fit this profile. I’ve spent much time expression this philosophy behind Christianity known as The Force of Nature. I explained that sin was not the reason for the dark side but the product of it while an unfaithful mentality fuel the energy to create such a product. Nevertheless, you still may feel a little shallow, you see the information, but the meaning has yet to settle in; much as new falling snow that melts once it hits the surface of the Earth never compacting or building layers of growth,
(Read this part of the scriptures- Colossians 1:15- 17)
Jesus is the reason. Why did God create a world. He created one for His one and only son, Jesus. What does it mean to serve God…it means to know His son and obey a lifestyle which pleases Him. Knowing God is what it takes to develop the heart to serve Him. When you get to know Him (God) and understand His ways you will want to fall in a relationship with Him. It is the natural order creation.
Reflect on these scriptures here as an afterthought of this article:     
            “This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches. But let the one who boasts boast about this; that they have understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight.” declares the Lord.”
                                                                                                Jeremiah 9:23 & 24
​

​ONE CONSUMING FIRE; THE ENTIRE FORCE OF NATURE

          Psychologically spirituality affects us as humans within two different plains of reality; the relationship one has within themselves and the relationship one has with other people. As we witness one another lives we can see how one views themselves within the world, but, only through the outside. One has a relationship vertically with their creator (human to God) plus a relationship horizontally with their fellow humans within their environment (human to human). When one considers the relationship, they have inside or inwardly, they are referring to their understanding vertically (man/woman to creator). This reality can only be witness by another person outwardly. No one can know for a fact the inner judgement a person has with God. We can only see the fruit of their spirituality on the outside.
            “A good tree doesn’t produce bad fruit; on the other hand, a bad tree doesn’t produce good fruit. For each tree is known by its own fruit, Figs aren’t gathered from thornbushes, or grapes picked from a bramble bush. A good man produces good out of the good storeroom of his heart. An evil man produces evil out of the evil storeroom, for his mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.” – Luke 6: 43-45
Nevertheless, one must understand their horizonal relationship (themselves and others) as well as their inward in order to operate the will of The Force of Nature.
            The Body of Christ consist of the church or the relationship of the Saints as a whole. The unity of the army of the Saints; those who are physically here on Earth praying in unison to the Lord united with those who have passed on and are witnesses in Heaven worshipping the Lord (the first will be the last and the last will be the first). The unity of the Body of Christ is as the human body being aware of its limbs, organs & parts. How would the hands operate if they were unaware or not connected to the sense of the eyes or sense of smell? What would the movement of the legs react too if they’re not link with the sense of hearing or the organs sensation of the lungs, the breathing as well as the heart rate?  How does the head operate without the body? There is a universal connection of this body. While we’re here on this Earth we should feel this unity of the body. There needs to be a sense of urgency, of danger, of wanting to be saved. One has to feel that their soul is in danger, of their fate being destine to hell. This is illustrating the same universal truth all tears will be wiped away; all witnesses will see Jesus in the air.
            “… and there will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and His servants will serve Him. They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. Night will no longer exist, and people will not need lamplight or sunlight, because the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign forever and ever.” – Revelation 22: 3-5
            “Then I heard a loud voice from the throne: Look! God’s dwelling is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will exist no longer, grief, crying, and pain will exist no longer, because the previous things have passed away.” – Revelation 21: 3&4
When Jesus addresses the seven churches within the chapter 2 & 3 of Revelation in the Bible, he is addressing the entire body. It’s practically impossible for one to witness the synergy of faith at work through only witnessing the work of the Holy Spirit within their own lives. There is a heart of love one human must have for themselves as well as others in order to see the Spirit of Jesus operate and save people. It is witnessing the harmony of this within all humans that the Body of Christ is formed.

​ON OUR KNEES BEFORE GOD

            The relationship aspect of communicating with God is vertical. There is a concept of horizonal behavior towards our fellow man. Nevertheless, the understanding established when approaching God is creation towards creator. His ways are not as our ways. His viewpoint in life is greater than the perspective which we see in life. He does not change to accommodate with us. We need to change to comply with His way of thinking. This is the main point for most people who miss the mark of commune with The Force of Nature. Because His ways are higher than our ways. We must adopt to His mannerism if there is going to be any level of communication.
            “For My thoughts are not your thoughts and your ways are not my ways’, This is the Lord’s declaration, ‘For as heaven is higher than earth, so My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts’”- Isaiah 55: 8&9
It is because one is wanting God to comply with them that they are not praying with the proper mental intend.
            When we think of right and wrong, we do not see the entire picture the same way God does. Our finite mind which knows that two plus two must be four is compliance to the logic of numeral value. However, the same meaning of seeing something as pure or clean or knowing it to be long and/or eternal we miss the mark to put the proper value within the message. Our words only weigh as much as our perspective of using them. If we do not understand from this depth of perspective, then by nature we miss the mark of completing ourselves before God. We are not going to connect with the Grace in knowing Him. By default, we must pray for mercy. It is the only reasonable way to approach the creator. Within this mindset of thinking we start comprehending in a higher level of consciousness. It is important to pause and address God in due respect which He rightfully deserves. This perspective in life gives way to open doors or proper communication between humans and their creator. Then we are able to grasp the depth of being resurrected with the destiny of eternal life within the gated of Heaven

​What is the force of nature?

            The Force of Nature is the resurrected of Christ. The fact that an innocent man was brutally murdered on a cross and as the result of his life was resurrected from the grave and embrace eternal life, changes the perspective of our humanity. Without this phenomenal truth the entire Christian religion would be faulty; meaningless. The fact that we as humans connects our sins to this extraordinary event givers a deeper understanding to our psychic make-up. A true Christian think differently than the rest of the world. A disciple of Christ does not live within the limitations of this physical realms. Literally the laws of biology, psychology, spirituality an even physics bends and yields to the will of the force which brought Jesus Christ out of the grave. The Holy Spirit is the most powerful spirit in Heaven and on Earth. Understanding this Spirit and adapting our lifestyle to live in obedient to this Spirit is the key of understanding the doors of faith plus eternal life. As a Christian we believe we will inherit eternal life (as adopted sons & daughter of Christ heirs to Jesus) and when we die, based on the forgiveness of our sins, we will be transformed into a spiritual body; A body which will resemble a body like Christ who have been resurrected from the dead. The body we will have in the resurrection will be different body than the one we have here on Earth. It will be adopted to the environment of Heaven. This belief system behind this philosophy is the secret found in the Force of Nature. As followers of Jesus Christ and disciples who lives according to His teaching, we believe we are forgiven from the wrong we’ve done in our lives here on Earth, because Jesus has forgiving us and we will be heirs of His kingdom when He returns to claim His heritage on Earth. Jesus’ heritage on Earth is the kingdom of Heaven on Earth. For those who follow the religion of Christianity believe in the second judgement found in the book of Revelation with the Bible. This book expresses a final battle between good and evil, thus Heaven and Satan. And Satan will be eternally bound out of Heaven, plus his captives he has who are humans which he condemns here on Earth, will be freed to roam, and dwell for eternity in Heaven as Jesus family. This war between Heaven and demonic spiritual world is expressed as harvest for a King’s son (God’s son) as a wedding event. Heaven’s unity with the Saints on Earth (Jesus’ saved disciples) is as a marriage between Heaven and God’s church (known as the body of Christ). This battle of Jesus’ triumph over the physical realm is revealed with Jesus’ return to judge Heaven and Earth. The environment of His return is spiritual… where is His body?
            “Then I saw ‘a new heaven and a new earth’ for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and he their God” – Revelation 21: 1-3 NIV
            Simply put our resurrected body will be different from our present body with the ability to adopt to our new environment Heaven plus Earth. As a plant grows and leans towards the sunlight and builds roots to search for water, the plant survives being able to adopt to its environment. We are not verifying a matter of facts; we are verifying a matter of faith. This unlocking of beliefs in our thinking connects all matter of faith as an atom collects together to form molecules. Our thinking no longer operates as true fact one plus true fact two equals one new faith. It operates as true fact one multiplies with true fact two bringing forth a new product. When Einstein discovered compound interest, he said “Compound interest is the greatest mathematical discovery of all times.” The moral behind the Force of Nature is similar to the same.

The Fire Within the Darkness

 
            Before humans discovered electricity, one would use fire as warmth and light when it was dark, and the sun had set for the night and there was no more sunlight for the day.
PSALMS 121
I lift up my eyes to the mountains- where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord. The Maker of heavens and earth.
He will not let your foot slip- he who watches over you will not slumber;
Indeed, he who watches over Israel will
The Lord watches over you- the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm- he will watch over your life;
The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
 
            Okay, what does it mean to be saved? It means that your life was in danger, and you have been rescued from the threat. Salvation is not a matter of winning an argument between good and evil. As humans we are already doomed and condemned by the forces of evil. Salvation is a plan established within your life to save you from this condemnation. It is important to realize that by our very human nature we do not deserve to die and go to Heaven. Read the words of King David in Psalms 121. I do not often allow scriptures to simple speak my message in my article alone by themselves when I post in this blog. Because I feel you are searching into my philosophy within my writing for a deeper understanding of spirituality. However, I truly believe if your heart can not embrace the emotions bleeding through David’s words now illustrated as God’s Words within this scripture, you are totally lost and the simple concepts of Christianity will be meaningless to you. You need to recognize the fact that alone, by your human nature, you are in a confused world and the forces of the dark side are laws of mental strongholds to keep you confused and in the dark…. lost, bewildered, in pain, without a shepherd, destined to find no salvation and desire to live a life of peace, no pathway to find compassion towards one another which is the very nature and lifestyle our Lord calls us to live. This is what the story of salvation is all about.

​WHAT SHADOWS THE IMAGE OF THE FORCE OF NATURE?
 

 
            God refers to His people, the nation of Israel in the Old Testament as “stiff-neck people” (Exodus 32:9 & 34:9). He says this because, His people were stubborn in wanting to live their lives the way they wanted to regardless of any rules or laws or proper standard of behavior which the Lord desired to establish within their lifestyles. When we also take into consideration the type or people Jesus saw while He was on Earth- “sheep without a shepherd” (Mathew 9:36) we begin to realize that at a whole; we as a people of God are a gathering membership of lost souls. A nature of rebellious attitude towards authority and/or disobedience of living a lifestyle with laws and rules regulated by a supreme being.
            Okay, I will be transparent. I am a man who is all for anarchy. At a very young, teenage period of my life, I saw myself as the black sheep within my family taking pride in being a prodigal son (which today I see the wisdom of not glorifying such a lifestyle). So, the mentality of “I want the freedom to do what I want to do” runs very deep within my character. Nevertheless, the desire for me to see myself righteous before my Lord runs a deeper path. The path of The Darkside of the Force of Nature is history and science without faith. We believe only what we can physically see and prove with our senses and/or our conscience. Faith is the evidence of things which we cannot see (Hebrew 11:1). The mentality of the Darkside is the exact opposite of this definition.
            There is a level of respect when it comes to us as humans who addresses the Lord (our creator) Regardless of our personal beliefs or opinions, feelings, attitude, justification, doubts, worries & fears; God is God, and He is supreme and the creator as a being. If He sees fit to give us rules, laws, and commandments for us to live by, we as humans are bound buy a level of respect to obey this premise; no more than what we as parents would expect as household respect from our children. Evil is not the dominant outcome. The agreement to follow this disobedient will is what causes the condemnation of sin. Throughout generations such a mentality among humans have limited the spirit of faith to grow and prosper to bring a positive harvest.
            “Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.”- Isaiah 59:1&2
The beliefs which support the philosophy of the Dark Force leads to a solid end of history or science base on a level of acceptance of faith. It is a belief system base on facts and principles outside the concepts of spiritual, logical, principles supported by faith.
            It’s important to realize the moral I am illustrating. The pathway to the Darkside of the Force of Nature is a mentality. One who has such a thought process is not in themselves sinful. The fruit of sin has not yet developed based on the attitude of rebellious. The nature of sin is explained in the scriptures.
            “When tempted, no one should say, ‘God is tempting me.’ For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempting when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown gives birth to death.”
                                                                                                                                    James 1:13-15
Although I’m not going to write the scripture out within this article, Romans 7:1-20 also gives us a clear picture of the nature of sin. It will do you good to read this scripture.
Our lack of respect to try to live a lifestyle based on rules and regulations is the path that causes us to walk away from God’s Hands and establish an unrighteous lifestyle. We are not condemned by the nature of wickedness. We are bound by our weakness of our flesh to establish a life against God when we follow a pathway against God’s standards or nature or will. God does not punish us because we sin against Him. God establish the rules and regulations whereby that forced which grows against Him is judged and then convicted. Our freewill decides which side of that conviction we live our lifestyles.

​WHO ARE WE TO BE WORTHY?

 
            Where does the desire to do good come from? A more impactful perspective to this question is what does it mean to know what is good in order to be able to perform the task… or develop the correct attitude in life, or be willing to cause the proper actions to happen? So many of us make mistakes. For examples- the error of conceiving love when one is not experiencing a healthy relationship, the sickness caused upon someone because one fails to understand good moral ethics, the sadness of lost while all intensions were good. One cannot be saved because one sincerely wants to do the right thing. This brings a level of sorrow to the dawn of our creation.
            “It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart. – Ecclesiastes 7:2
This brings another matter to consider when experiencing the course of salvation. One should “care” enough to want to be “good”. What light does this statement bring? We are not the creator of ourselves. We did not make the blueprint of life. One should consider their purpose and why it’s important to be successful for whatever reason they were put here to live. Consider these words within the scriptures.
            “… so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way; bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthen with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience.                                                                                                                                     Colossians 1: 10&11
In other words, our purpose for being here on Earth and given life at all was simply to bring glory to our creator; for it pleased Him to do such a thing. And we should care enough within our lives to want to do this. This moral brings all the colors into life. Otherwise, all reality will be black and white, then God would be no more than a subject Himself, whereby, we can judge, analyze and bring opinion to base our limited and meek understanding of knowledge of right and wrong.
            Our course in life to be righteous before God comes from a deep human desire to want to please our Lord in the life we live. What more purpose is there to have? In considering the pain in life, plus, the light verses darkness of fate which we witness as we experience salvation, one must grasp their minds around a central purpose of judgement, some sort of conclusion to all this matter. We can look upon the conclusion given within the good book, God’s Words itself, the Bible. We can glance through the pages of Revelations. When you understand the institution of marriage and consider the reality of this being the mirror image of the Book of Revelations we see deeper in the meaning within God’s Word and His plan for human’s salvation. Then we consider the vast pit of death itself whereby one finds resurrection of life through the passing experience of life here on Earth. Well, at least the ones here on Earth who embraces a relationship with Jesus as an acceptable pathway for them to follow and honor their lifestyle. One can glimpse into eternity and witness a sound reason for a purpose when they consider their lives being a pillar of growth, birth, pain, jubilant, victory, sorrow, death, outshine, resurrection and then and only then glance into forever to worship to an all powerful being and creator. Who else are we to be considered worthy of all this humility?

​WHO JUDGES THE RIGHTEOUS? WHO RIGHTS ARE WRONGED?

 
            There’s a certain level of intelligence expected for an adult to be considered normal. Society can measure an exact level or normal reasoning for an average person. There is also a certain level of emotional maturity in an adult’s judgement to be considered morally right. This concept can be argued and often is argued. We have mental intelligence and emotional intelligence. Without even focusing on spiritual enlightens let’s look at our society profile here in the United States of America.
            In this country it is not considered a human right to have food and/or shelter. Now, I’m not stating an argument for the homeless, however, this human right is not agreed equally globally. In other countries it is considered a human right to have food and/or shelter. Yet, here, in the most military powerful, and riches land which globally leads nations, this right is not considered legal. Why bring this point into view? We do have legal rights to choose or change gender as well as vote politically before a legal drinking age, plus choose to practice abortion before a legal age to consent. These are issues we politically fight about. This is not a statement to voice an opinion on rather abortion or the legal drinking age is morally acceptable. However, when scoping the grand scheme of priorities, I have to say that I feel our country here in America has missed the mark.
            We can overlook the emotional intelligence it takes for one to be sexually active then choose to abort the outcome by killing their child. Nevertheless, the mere necessity of food and a place to dwell from the elements of this Earth is overlooked or not considered a priority. We think this way as a nation. I specifically pointing out the right to choose sexually to make a point. When our emotional intelligence is lower than the average standard of moral reasoning it makes it hard to balance a righteous judgement. Although, I may say that this country of the United States does not carry a psychological profile of the right for food and shelter, we do promote the freedom for the right to work or find a fair wage job for the ability to independently support ourselves. This is not to point out fault to our neighbors or fellow citizens. This is to express my level of commitment when it comes to me being a part of the whole. We can not have social justice without economic justice for they are both one and the same. Where I stand on my right to vote illumes a needed decision in the grand scheme of human rights.

​THE LAWS OF THE FORCE OF NATURE
 
            If we pray according to His Will, He will hear us and our desire will operate with His Will.
            “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us- whatever we ask- we know that we have what we asked of him” – I John 5: 14 & 15
            Meditate on this concept for a minute… this is the key to unlocking the door to the potential powers behind The Force of Nature. Yes, faith is the principle used to ignite the power, but unless our faith is aligning with His Will it will not prosper successfully.           
Let me take the time to explain this scenario to you. You may be praying to God about something until you’re mentally obsess. You may become confused, plus, frustrated on why the scenario you’re praying about is not processing in the manner you feel it should go. The problem may be that you may be blind to the reality that your fate is not being true to your destination. It may not occur to you as a principle that you are not focusing down the path the universe desires. Okay, let’s examine this clear fact. First, there is a predestine moral connected to everyone’s fate designed based on the purpose of their existence; thus, you have a direct reason for being here. Even if you don’t like the idea of a God creating you for His desire and will, you can not ignore the reality that you’re here in this existence for a central reason. Now let’s entertain the theory that God is real; He does love you (as well as everyone) He has a design plan for His creation and life. And you gather an understanding of this blueprint for your fate in the Bible… what value will this theory bring to obtaining the knowledge of His Word to determine your fate?
It says in the scriptures that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. (James 5: 16b) This is His Word. God can not lie. If you find yourself righteous before God, then the conversation you have with Him has meaning. Nevertheless, if you get the feeling in life that you are running into walls, doors close upon your dreams, and you can not seem to fulfill your plan. Then you need to question the fact of rather your plan in your life is aligned with His Will.
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”                                                                                                                                                                         Proverbs 19: 21
This may seem to be a simple concept, nevertheless, the size of raindrops does not clearly reveal the amount of water accumulated in a storm, or hours of rain, or a burst of a cloud. In other words- if God can not lie and He promise to hear us with an attitude to give us the desires of our hearts. If we’re not finding ourselves satisfied in this life, it based on the simplicity that what we are aligning our wills to guide us in our lives does not agree with the purpose our wills were designed for in life. I really want you to think about this, because, literally speaking, we can simply pray to an all-loving & all-powerful God, and we can get what our hearts desire. But if we don’t know what His desire are or what we should be praying for our will and spirit can diminish. The full verse found in James 15:16 reads- “Therefore confess your sin to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” What is the concept of confessing sin? What are these relationships within our lives we need to have in order this intimacy of confession. Moreover, like the Force within the movies there is a dark side of the Force as well as the light. We need to be familiar to both because they both correspond towards the purpose of this creation; this world- this planet Earth. Our destiny and fate lie right in the path of this coercion operating within this universe.

​HOW the force of nature is balance?

            At this point in my life, I’ve been married about 18yrs. I’ve known my wife for over 20yrs. In all this time I’ve been familiar with my wife she has had some kind of medical condition wrong with her. Over the years, I’ve learned the secrete of being more compassionate about her suffering to love her. This knowledge is a cornerstone to the foundation of endearment towards my wife. Loving my wife involved a deep sorrow and empathy for her suffering. It’s not my body in pain. I don’t need to understand what her suffering entails in order to see it. I see my wife’s tears at time because of the physical suffering she is going through. It’s not my job to fix my wife. It is my job to care, embrace intimacy and lead a loving profound relationship totally entailing to her character. Her personality has chemistry with my manhood. As Jesus saw fit to die to cover all the sins he saw in the church, so I offer myself to serve my wife in carrying her spiritually through all the suffering which I witness in her physically.
            As Jesus used His body to meet the church physical needs; it spiritually opens a door towards eternal salvation. However, there was a point of pain. There was nothing joyful about the cross. When we’re at the foot of the cross we see the hard choses that had to be made to grant our salvation. In one of my earlier articles before I launch the idea of The Force of Nature. I wrote about the important for the Christian nation to laminate for the hundred and thousand of preceding years of suffering. There needs to be a generation of suffering preceding His return. Our humanity started off wrong. We cause corruption in God’s beautiful garden, yet He still showed us grace. Nevertheless, God is a just God, there was a need of an atonement for the wrong which He saw done. This atonement was in fact the crucifixion of His beloved son. Yes, there is forgiveness, but there was still suffering. A balance between the suffering and forgiveness gives justice to the church to establish salvation for His flock. We are as sheep. However, we must understand both lament and grace properly to rejoice in the freedom of Christ. This is the vision behind understanding the Force of Nature.
