What Might You be Missing?

(Part 2: Freewill)

 

 

Here’s an Easy Concept:

What happens when you end up breaking relationship with someone?

  • Is there a chance at reconciliation?
  • What does that look like?
  • How does that happen?

If a person is walking in darkness, what will it take to bring them into the light?

The Freedom to Choose … It’s a basic human right. Take away that right and you and I are no longer human. We’re just robots.

We have been given the power to choose to Have a Real Realtionships or Fake Relationships.

No one can force us against our will to have a genuine relationship with someone, if we don’t want one.

Not Even God can force us. That would go against his will, his plant, and his design. That would break His Will and his covenant. That would destroy his ability and our ability to enter into a mutual honoring relationship of love, acceptance, respect, and free will offerings (on both sides of the relationship).

Without freewill offerings there really is no real relationship with God. Why? Because there is a huge gap between Him and us. Mankind as a whole chose to break covenant, and ended up breaking relationship with God–for eternity. That is something God has dealt with, but is something we have to deal with also. That’s what makes it a relationship. In every relationship, there are two sides and two parties involved. In order to have a true relationship, both parties must mutually agree, honor, respect, and literally enjoy the wholeness of the relationship, or that relationship will begin to deteriorate and ultimately fall apart.

God has made His free will offering towards us. His offering goes along way into repairing our relationship with Him., but our relationship with him cannot go anywhere, not even one step forward, unless there is a mutual agreeing to receive the offering that God himself has made.

We are the ones who created that gap in our relationship with God. God is the one who closed the gap by his own free, will offering, with the aim to mend the broken relationship. By doing this, God displays the depth and breath of his honor and his value in having an eternal relationship with his children. But even this will not be enough if the child refuses to enjoy the relationship God is offering.

Just like an often modern day relationships, children choose to value their peers far above their own family, especially their parents relationship. They burn their bridges and go their own way. The show they deeply despise the parents world and sacrifice is made for them. They believe they own the future and have no debt to the past. But they show their ignorance and their immaturity that the only reason they have blessings on their lives is because of the people that have gone before them have created those foundations for which they were able to experience any blessings in the first place.

 

But ungrateful children tend to turn to their own peer group for guidance and values. Thus destroying the foundations that were laid with heavy cost upon the parents and the generations that have gone before them.

 

These are just some of my thoughts of how ungratefulness and the lack of honor, and the lack of maturity brings the disease of selfishness into the life of a family, community, nation and world. These are the very things that our father in heaven addresses throughout his Family government.

But these are also the very things that those who receiving the blessings of His government despise. Not realizing that the blessings they are experiencing are coming, not from themselves, but those who lived before them, and sacrificed great things in order to provide for the generations to come.

But the modern generations that reject the sacrifices and the love, faith, hope, strength, grace, power, and authority properly utilized to create the vast amount of blessings experienced today, will throw them away in one generation and ultimately destroy the goodness that was provided for them.

……………..

Why did God give us free will? That’s a great question: here’s a good answer.

 

 

Here’s the problem: If you have not personally made a decision to enter into an honoring, respectful, mutual, genuine, loving, caring, self sacrificial relationship with God, chances are good you don’t know Him. You won’t know His Character, know His Nature, know His Thoughts, His Will, His Ways, or His Word.

If that is the case: You will most likely disregard Him, disrespect Him, do dishonor to His Word, and reject His Counsel, and position yourself as an enemy of God.

This confirmed Atheist below, who worked closely with Richard Dawkins (possibly today’s most vocal and respected Atheist), started to make choices for himself.

 

He decided to stop following the crowd around him.
He decided to look for a new crowd, one that value things that he valued.

He and his atheist wife and atheist child, moved to Texas to homeschool his daughter after experiencing the chaos in Portland, Oregon, during the riots in 2020. This guy looks and talks a lot like someone I knew previously.

 

 

 

A passage that captures waking up to a new reality, seeing one’s former ways—darkness, sin, and even old relationships—as evil rather than admirable—is found in Ephesians 5:

Ephesians 5:8, 11-14 (KJV):
For ye were sometimes darkness,

  • but now are ye light in the Lord:

Walk as children of light

  • And have no fellowship with the unfruitful
    works of darkness,
  • but rather reprove them.

For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.” 256

These verses stress:

  • Spiritual awakening: “Awake thou that sleepest… and Christ shall give thee light.”

  • Recognition of evil: Encouragement to reprove (expose and reject) the “unfruitful works of darkness.”

  • A shift in values: What was once hidden or accepted is now “a shame even to speak of.”

  • A clear division: “Ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord.”

 

Also, Romans 13:11-12 (KJV):

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” 46

These passages vividly describe the transformation of perspective: becoming aware of the darkness of one’s former lifestyle and now perceiving it as something to reject, not admire, because Christ’s light has revealed its true nature.
