ROMANS 5:17 AMP For if because of one man’s trespass (Adam’s original lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God’s] overflowing GRACE (unmerited favor) and the free GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS [putting them into right standing with Himself] REIGN AS KINGS IN LIFE through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
IF GOD IS
ALL-GOOD & ALL-POWERFUL,
AND WE ARE KINGS,
WHY _____________?
LAST WEEK:
WHY DOESN’T
GOD INTERVENE???
THE ANSWER COMES BY UNDERSTANDING
God’s Practical Sovereignty
The Origins of Evil
God’s Process Laws
WHAT ARE PROCESS LAWS?
A series of events that takes place in any
given circumstance with unvarying uniformity.
PROCESS LAWS
Gravity
Lift
Electromagnetism
Thermodynamics
Biogenesis
Chemistry
Planetary Motion
Mathematics
Logic
Uniformity of Nature
INTELLIGENT DESIGN & PROCESS LAWS
Organized
Structured
Systematic
Ordered
Harmonized
Standardized
Precise
Interpretive
Methodic
Predictable
Accurate
Definite
Concrete
Observable
Analytical
Scientific
BUT… WHY DOESN’T GOD INTERVENE???
God designed the universe so that even DIVINE MIRACLES WOULD BE EXPERIENCED through the predictable and organized execution, or management, of SPIRITUAL PROCESS LAWS
FREE CREATURES are FREE to be IGNORANT, DISREGARD or FAIL TO ACCURATELY EXECUTE spiritual process laws, removing the probability of miracle-intervention
Miracle interventions are therefore CATEGORICALLY IMPERSONAL and INDEPENDENT of any INTERPRETATION OF GOD’S ACTUAL WILL and LOVE for His free creatures, removing the possibility of God’s negligence
The GODHEAD is CATEGORICALLY PERSONAL, providing HELP, GUIDANCE & SUPPORT for human execution of miracle interventions
SPIRITUAL PROCESS LAWS
Unresolved Sin
Low Word Feeding
Pride
Unforgiveness
Bitterness
Wrong Motives
Bad Attitudes
Rage / Criticism
Lack of Honor (Spouses)
Sowing / Reaping (Sparing)
Disobedience to Generosity (Tithe – 10%)
Inattention to God's Spirit
Lack of Serving God's Kingdom
Lack Seeking God's Kingdom
5-Sense Domination
Unbelieving Talk
1. HEART
2. BELIEVE
3. DECLARE
PROVERBS 4:23 AMP KEEP and GUARD your HEART with all vigilance and above all that you guard, FOR OUT OF IT FLOW THE SPRINGS OF LIFE.
MARK 11:22-24 NKJV So Jesus answered and said to them, "Have FAITH in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not DOUBT in his HEART, but BELIEVES that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, BELIEVE that you RECEIVE [them], and you will have [them].’”
JAMES 1:5-7 NKJV If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally … and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in FAITH, with no doubting, ... 7 For let not that man suppose that he will RECEIVE anything from the Lord;
“[Blood flow] Daughter, your FAITH has made you well.” (MARK 5:34)
“[Lepers], your FAITH has made you well.” (LUKE 17:19)
“[Bartemeaus], your FAITH has made you well.” (MARK 10:52)
“[Blind] According to your FAITH let it be to you.” (MATTHEW 9:29)
“[Paralyzed] When Jesus saw their FAITH…” (LUKE 5:20)
“[Epilepsy] If you can BELIEVE, all things are possible...” (MARK 9:23)
“[Paralyzed] As you have BELIEVED, so be it done to you.” (MATTHEW 8:13)
“[Son Died] The man BELIEVED the word that Jesus spoke...” (MARK 5:34)
“[Sick] The prayer of FAITH will save the sick, and … will raise him up.” (JAMES 5:14)
“[Failed Deliverance] Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, ‘WHY COULD WE NOT CAST IT OUT?’ 20 So Jesus said to them, ‘BECAUSE OF YOUR UNBELIEF.’”
“[Fear of Storm] But Jesus said to them, "WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?" And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, "Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!” (LUKE 8:25 NKJV)
“Now JESUS COULD DO NO MIGHTY (MIRACLE) WORK THERE, except that He laid His hands on A FEW SICK people and HEALED [THEM]. 6 And He marveled because of their UNBELIEF.” [“Jesus did not many might (miracle) works there BECAUSE of their UNBELIEF”] (MARK 6:5-6 NKJV; MATTHEW 13:58)
MARK 11:22-24 NKJV So Jesus answered and said to them, "Have FAITH in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever SAYS to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not DOUBT in his HEART, but BELIEVES that those things he SAYS will be done, he will have whatever he SAYS. 24 THEREFORE I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, BELIEVE that you RECEIVE [them], and you will have [them].’”
2 CORINTHIANS 4:13 NKJV And since we have the same SPIRIT OF FAITH, according to what is written, "I BELIEVED and therefore I SPOKE," we also BELIEVE and therefore SPEAK…
HEBREWS 11:3 NKJV By FAITH we understand that the WORLDS WERE FRAMED by the WORD OF GOD, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
