LAW GRACE GLORY
John 1:3
All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything
made that was made.
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning (Time) God created the heaven (Space) and
the earth (Matter).
Everything in the material universe falls into these 3 categories:
Time has past, present and future
Heaven has height, width and depth
Matter has protons, neutrons and electrons
So all the great works of God–everything He does that is
manifest to us as humans, He does in the three arenas or
environments.
He is a master at dealing with time, space and matter.
So God works in all these things,
Romans 8:28 (NIV)
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those
who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Psalm 86:8
Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord;
Nor are there any works like Your works.
“GOD IS GREAT, GOD IS GOOD”
The Greatness of God and the goodness of God is something
you have to be willing to think about and engage in.
Anything we look at that has to do with time, space or matter
Anything that has happened or we think is going to happen
Anything that is spiritual or covers big territory
Anything that is real and tangible, we have to view those things
through the lens of the Lord God.
We have to accept the responsibility of how we look at things.
Matthew 6:22-23 KJV
The light of the body is the eye: if there- fore your eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy
whole body shall be full of darkness…
THE LENS WE VIEW EVERYTHING THROUGH SHOULD BE
THE GREATNESS AND THE GOODNESS OF GOD, FROM
THE WORD OF GOD AND OUR OWN PERSONAL HISTORY
WITH HIM.
The Goodness of God
I often highlight the Goodness of God and its actually a theme
of my life. It’s something the Lord stirs in my spirit and uses to
keep me passionate and steadfast.
Psalm 27:13
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see
the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.
Romans 12:21
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
THE GREATNESS OF GOD
Luke 18:27
But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are
possible with God.”
Remember Psalms 86?
Psalm 86:8
Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord;
Nor are there any works like Your works.
First, from verse 8 the greatness of God makes him greater
than all the gods. “There is none like thee among the gods, O
Lord.” I take this very seriously.
1 Corinthians 8:5 says that there are many gods and many
lords. Paul means that there are demons, evil spirits (1
Corinthians 10:20). Satan himself is called the “god of this age”
(2 Corinthians 4:4) or the “god of this world” (John 12:31).
Therefore I take David to mean that God is greater than all
angels, demons, evil spirits, principalities and powers, and
world rulers of this present darkness, and all spiritual hosts of
wickedness in the heavenly places.
1 John 5:19 says the whole world lies in the power of the evil
one.
But 1 John 4:4 says,
1 John 4:4
“He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”
And 1 John 3:8 says that “the Son of God appeared to destroy
the works of the devil.” And Jesus said,
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. GO
therefore and make disciples . . . “
IN CONCLUSION
When God created all things and joined His creation to time,
space, and matter, He programmed its DNA with components of
hope that cannot be altered.
Anyone can access hope to all things past, present, and future
because anyone can access Jesus in any way they perceive
time. It’s all part of the beauty and genius of God.
The sweet redemption of King Jesus is meant to be discovered
and experienced without measure. Our key to the power of this
beautiful marriage between the Lord and His bride is simply
never being able to imagine any part of our lives without first
thinking about our life with Him.
That’s the key to any beautiful marriage.
So, in wrapping this up, let me remind you that you still have
time. Your past time is still your past time and Jesus wants you
to discover Him and experience Him there.
Psalms 139:7-9 (Passion)
Where could I go from your Spirit?
Where could I run and hide from your face?
If I go up to heaven, you’re there!
If I go down to the realm of the dead, you’re there too!
If I fly with wings into the shining dawn, you’re there!
If I fly into the radiant sunset, you’re there waiting!
Jesus is literally waiting in your past to redeem it! He wants you
to tap into this revelation of Redeeming Your Timeline.
Your present time is your time with Him to live and breathe His
life more abundantly. Your future time is ready to be the room
where Jesus is.
Unveiling His glory in new prophetic upgrades and green lights
of joyous discovery and adventure.
Jesus is thrilled at the opportunity to live life with you in the
dangerous places of time, space, and matter. His heart longs to
find us thrilled at the same opportunity to live with Him in those
same places.
When we find Him there, we find He is not afraid. He is
victorious and full of hope. He is full of appreciation and love of
life. He is willing and ready to confront evil, and bless every
place with transformation and His Kingdom dominion.
He wants to find us in those same places exactly like He is. He
wants to make us be as He is because we see Him instead of
seeing our slave master in time.
The promise of the Word is that when we see Him, we will be
like Him. Now that is redeeming time.
1 John 3:2
…but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him,
for we shall see Him as He is.
Hope for every time and season. A cross for every time and
season. Redemption and exchange of life for death for every
hour of every day.
So, now it is time to accept the invitation, permission, and
commandment to change your measures of time to places
where King Jesus rules from His throne. He wants to bring His
Kingdom and save you in every way a person can be saved.
Our Redeemer lives and is not subject to time. Time is made
subject to Him. Redeeming time says the salvation of your
past,
present, and future is not behind you or in front of you. The
Great I AM is ready to bring your redemption and salvation to all
things past, present, and future. He is ready right now.
For He says:
2 Corinthians 6:2
“In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of
salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time;
behold, now is the day of salvation.
Peace to you!
