WATCH THE TWO MINUTE MESSAGE HERE:
The
power to move an object, or the capacity to do work—is called ENERGY! ENERGY may be electrical or mechanical, nuclear
or kinetic—but you can be sure of this—WITHOUT ENERGY NO WORK IS ACCOMPLISHED. Energy is invisible—but the effects of energy
are seen throughout our world and our universe.
IF
ENERGY is what we call the power that moves the PHYSICAL UNIVERSE, what might
we call the power that moves the SPIRITUAL UNIVERSE?
HI,
I’M PASTOR RICK JONES, and I have about a 2 Minute Message for you to think
about.
Christians
believe that God made the universe.
Materialists believe that the universe made God.
We
believe God made everything—not that God is everything.
We
believe God holds everything—and that He upholds everything—
We
believe God is present in time—and that He was present before time, and that He
will be present after time.
We believe that the seen and the unseen
universe—the physical and the spiritual universe—are ordered by God.
Just
as the Physical universe operates according to the laws of physics, the
Spiritual universe operates according to Spiritual laws.
The
Bible teaches us that “Things that are seen are temporary… things not seen are
eternal…” That means that Spiritual
universals are more permanent than the physical universe.
If
it is energy that moves the physical universe IS THERE A FORCE OR ENERGY that
moves the spiritual universe? THERE IS.
It
is the force that moved God to create humanity and then re-create lost
humanity…
It is the force that brought Christ to earth, moved Christ’s compassion, and held Christ to the Cross.
It is the force that compelled the Apostles to sacrificially give their lives for the spread of the Gospel…
It
is the force that compels God’s people to “go the extra mile” to “return good
for evil,” to “sacrifice willingly to help” and to “joyfully honor and obey
God.”
THE
“ENERGY” OF THE SPIRITUAL UNIVERSE IS LOVE.
This
energy… this force … this love is INFINITE,
This love is SPIRITUAL not sensual
This
love is SELF-LESS not selfish
This
love is LOYAL not
WHEN
GODLY LOVE ENERGIZES—OR IS IMPARTED TO US—WE ARE WHOLE AND HOLY!
WHEN
GODLY LOVE ENERGIZES, We find the
POWER
to do what we ought to DO
WISDOM
to think as we ought to THINK, and
WILL
to BE as we ought to BE!
GOD
LOVES YOU!
OPEN
YOUR HEART TO HIS LOVE…
HE
LOVES YOU AS YOU ARE, BUT HE LOVES YOU FAR TOO MUCH TO LEAVE YOU AS YOU ARE.
PRAY,
LORD GOD, FORGIVE ME FOR NEGLECTING AND
REJECTING YOUR LOVE… I AM SO THANKFUL YOU LOVE ME AND THAT YOU HAVE NOT GIVEN
UP ON ME. I PRAY THAT YOUR LOVE WOULD
FILL MY HEART, AS I YIELD MY WILL TO YOUR WILL.
I PRAY THAT I WILL ACT, AND THINK, AND LIVEK ENERGIZED BY YOUR GREAT
LOVE. IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.
