“Human nature” can be a dastardly distraction.

God-centered Life

When you are surrounded by God- loving people who constantly support one another in their faith, in accordance with . . . .
Hebrews 10:24 KJV
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: . . . .
does your enthusiasm, your excitement, and yes your faith go through the roof? That is, until you are alone again? And then, do you kind of crash?
If so, you’re not alone! It’s human nature!

I for one I think we should be less and less enamored with human nature! We need to learn to maintain the same level (awareness) of faith that we had before we started listening to the incessant yammering of the carnal mind once again!

The fleshly thinking is always wrong. Period. When we are fully tuned in to God, we are always right – and right is a great place to be!
Consider Moses, who actively endured the wrath of Pharoah by focusing on God:
Hebrews 11:27 KJV
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

Raising-from-the-dead kind of power

Application of Scriptures

WHAT KIND OF POWER DO WE HAVE OVER SICKNESS AND DISEASE, AND EVEN DEATH?
Ephesians 1:19-20 KJV
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, [20] Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
WE HAVE RAISING-FROM-THE-DEAD TYPE OF POWER IN US !!

IF YOU DON’T GLORIFY GOD, IF YOU DON’T REALLY ESTEEM HIM, IF YOU AREN’T THANKFUL AND DON’T MAGNIFY THE VICTORIES AND THE GOOD THINGS GOD HAS DONE, THEN YOUR IMAGINATION HAS NO OPTION EXCEPT TO BE NEGATIVE.
Romans 1:21 KJV
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

WOULD YOU JOIN ME IN AN EXERCISE THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR (AND MY) LIFE? MAKE A QUICK LIST (IN YOUR MIND IS OKAY) OF ALL THE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS YOU’VE ENTERTAINED RECENTLY. FEAR . HATE . JEALOUSY . REVENGE . ETC . ETC . . NOW , LET’S RECOGNIZE THAT ALL OF THAT IS FROM THE CARNAL MIND – READY TO RE-EMERGE WHENEVER YOU’RE DISTRACTED .
<> OR, YOU (AND I) COULD CONCEIVE (IMAGINE) [yetser = Hebrew] DIFFERENTLY, DISMISS THE WORLDLY THINKING AND TURN TO GOD.

Raw quantum power of God

Quantum world

I have been hit so hard by the raw power of God that I have been knocked to the ground in ecstasy. This has happened far too many times to count.
Phil Mason
Quantum Glory

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

Quantum Entanglement

The reason He raised you up into the heavenly Places is for you to see things from His perspective. When you know that you are seated with Christ in heavenly places your view of this world will change.

E n T a N g L e M e N t … had always conjured up a highly negative connotation in my life – something I’d want to avoid at all costs. But, as we observe God’s precious kingdom unfolding, we know we must revisit this construct with ever greater vigilance.
Can we see God’s presence in Gregg Braden’s definition of Entanglement as it applies to quantum mechanics? Is Jesus anywhere to be found? Braden argues,

….. “Quantum entanglement suggests that once particles are connected, they remain connected on an energetic level, even when they are physically separated from one another. And the really interesting thing is that whether the separation is only a few millimeters or an entire galaxy, the distance doesn’t appear to affect the connection. Quantum entanglement exists in the real world, but we can’t see it. We can feel it, however, once that filament of connection is forged.”…..

I must confess that I am striving – for the life of me – to glean precious knowledge about our uni-verse without losing track of the fact that God – our God – created all of it. Jesus alone is the way, the truth, and the life and it’s all in there: connected in a divine entanglement!
