The Power and Wisdom of God

The power and wisdom of God

Can you imagine having access to the power and wisdom of God?

What would you do with that? A lot, right?

That is exactly my goal here, today. Come with me!

This is how Jesus Christ showed divine wisdom and power and, as incredible as it may seem, the Bible reveals this mystery, but this revelation has been covered up again by our religious practice.

I have the ambition to uncover this mystery again, and the great challenge is to do it in few words. So remember and stay alert, because our mind lies to us, words are necessary but insufficient; only the Spirit of God is necessary and sufficient. So let us trust that He will guide us in this very precious revelation.

In summary, because I have already detailed this in other articles, right here on this blog, the Holy Bible records.

The beginning of creation and the fall of the human being

In the beginning God created all things and saw that it was good
When God created man He saw that everything had become very good
And God placed man with authority over the Earth
Man was deceived and handed the authority over to Satan
Then we began to see deaths, wars and destruction on the Earth
And history records centuries of men striving to reach God, without success
The one who had taken dominion of the Earth was the most cunning of the creatures God had created, deceiving man in every way. And the earth fell into darkness for centuries and centuries

God begins the restoration of the human being

With Jesus, God began the process of restoring man's original condition, when everything had become very good
God did this by sending his own son, in the same human limitation that you and I find ourselves in today, to reveal the way to us
He came as Jesus, an ordinary human being, and received the Holy Spirit when he was baptized
Then a confirmation was heard from a voice from heaven: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”
And, later, the voice confirmed: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!”
After the baptism and receiving the Holy Spirit, Jesus began to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, saying: “Repent, the Kingdom of God has come, the Kingdom of God has arrived, the Kingdom of God is near”
I will try to explain the message: you are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God. Change your mentality, change the way you think. The world is in darkness and under the power of the Evil One. The human being is evil. His natural inclination is only and solely toward evil. The devil is not God's adversary because God is Almighty. The devil is man's adversary, and he keeps deceiving you. I am bringing God's dominion back to be placed in man's hands, but this will be an individual choice that one cannot make for another
Jesus explained in detail: whoever is not born again cannot see the Kingdom of God. And whoever is not begotten anew, by the Spirit of God, cannot enter the Kingdom of God
But those men loved darkness more than light and killed him, they killed the Son of God. And this was expected

God completes the restoration of the human being

Then, Jesus reappeared after being dead and sent his disciples throughout the world to preach the gospel to every creature
But he also told them, before that, to wait to receive the power of God, distributed by the Holy Spirit, whom he had promised to send, and to see that he would be with those who follow him until the end of time
Back with the Father, Jesus Christ sent the Holy Spirit upon all people as announced by himself, and also by some prophets of old
Thus Jesus concluded his work
From then on, God's action on Earth upon men became the work of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ

Jesus taught many things, gave us a New Commandment, the only one we have today, to love as he loved us. And he also said: “If anyone wants to follow me, wants to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me”.

The explanation of the disciples

Matthew began the New Testament revealing that Jesus is one generation and that Christ is another generation, by the Spirit of God
Peter began his work and confirmed Matthew, saying that God made Jesus both Lord and Christ
Paul defined the Kingdom of God, announced by Jesus, as righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit
Paul continued the work of Jesus announcing no longer the Gospel of the Kingdom of God because Jesus completed that, but the Gospel of Christ
In this Gospel of Christ he deals with the powerful transformation that the Spirit of God brings about in the human being, taking the case of Jesus as an example
And he states categorically: you are not under the dominion of the flesh, but of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. And, if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.

The revelation of the mystery

Paul defined this transformation as a mystery that was hidden for ages and generations, and was being made manifest
He presented this mystery as Christ in us
He said he suffered birth pains until Christ was formed in us
And he strove so that we, strengthened in our hearts and united in love, might reach all the riches of full understanding, in order to fully know the mystery of God, namely, Christ
Because in Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and  knowledge
For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God
He declared that, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature, a new creation
And also that Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God

What has blocked our access to the power and wisdom of God

I prefer to avoid controversial discussions. However, the learning process requires some deconstruction. This is necessary, but not always pleasant. I am always open to dialogue to review my concepts.
The foundation of all Christian religions is, and should be, the Holy Bible, because only in it is the whole record of the history and the revelation of Christ. However, the history of Christian tradition is permeated with deceptions, with wars, deaths and destruction, in the name of God.
To a large extent, these deceptions continue to occur because Christian tradition ignores or despises the warning at the very end of the Bible about the risks and consequences for anyone who removes or adds anything to what is written. And Christian tradition has done this by the heap
Christian tradition continues to see Jesus Christ as a single generation, without realizing that Christ is a new generation in Jesus as well
Christian tradition speaks only of Christ in Jesus and ignores the need for the formation of Christ in us
The word Lucifer does not exist in the Bible. It means bearer of light and should refer to Jesus and not to Satan
The Bible states that God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. Therefore, the expression God bless you makes no sense for a Christian. That expression does not even exist in the New Testament
The kingdom of God has once again become misunderstood
Christ has become a mystery again
Tradition killed Jesus, the Son of man, Son of God. Christian tradition continues killing the children of God, now in us, in me and in you

Conclusion

Following tradition, purely and simply, without seeking the revelation of the Holy Spirit, is to remain in ignorance, under the power of the Evil One. It is a lack of wisdom and understanding
The Evil One does not mind granting us some success, according to the standards of this world
Perhaps that is why Jesus said it is very hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God
Also, what good is it for a man to gain the world and lose his soul?
Perhaps there is no place in the kingdom of God for those who think they are good, or think they are doing everything just right. Jesus said: “The tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the Kingdom of God ahead of you”
Tradition will persecute and lie against everyone who announces the biblical truth that is always different from the teaching of men, because tradition keeps conforming to the world. But Jesus said to rejoice greatly when that happened
Paul said that God chose the foolish and weak things of the world to shame the wise and the strong; and the insignificant things, the despised and the things that are not, to bring to nothing the things that are
No pastor, priest, bishop, apostle or Pope can save us, because the only way to reach God is through the man Jesus Christ; he is the way
Bible schools and Theology schools, at all levels, will only make sense when they lead the human being to the practice of transformation by the Holy Spirit, until the formation of Christ

Final reflection

And now:
Shall we keep ignoring the work of Jesus and walking toward the same old abyss?
Or shall we repent and seek, first of all, the kingdom of God and his righteousness, so that God may add to us all the other things?

Jesus also taught: if you, who are evil, know how to give good things to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him, will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.

Shall we carry our cross, so that Christ may be formed in us?

Remember: Christ in us is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

The Lord Jesus Christ showed us the way: Christ, the ordinary human being transformed and guided by the wisdom and power of the Spirit of God, experiencing and proving the good, pleasing and perfect will of God.

Just imagine what the world would be like with many Christs, with 8 billion Christs and all of them loving one another as Jesus Christ loved us.

You can, and should, question me: “And you, Mr. Know-it-all (lol), how are you dealing with this?”
I believe what Jesus said: “First we see the Kingdom of God; then, we enter it.
It is an eternal process in which we will face many challenges.
I can already see, and it is by faith that we enter.
Faith comes by hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit, and faith works through love.
Can you already recognize the voice of the Spirit of God?
Jesus said: “Behold, I am knocking at your door. If you open, I will come in”.
Knock, knock! Listen! Someone is knocking. Knock, knock!

Shall we open it, together?

Let there be light! Peace! Amen!
