YOU’RE NOT NATURAL (NORMAL)

FOUNDATION SCRIPTURE MARK 4:14;

PROVERBS 4:20-27 THE SOWER SOWS THE WORD

THE ‘GOD’ OF THIS WORLD HAS BEEN BANISHED FROM THIS WORLD HE ONCE RULED (USING ADAM’S AUTHORITY) AND BEEN EXILED TO THE HEAVENLIES.

BUT BY HIS POWER (OF SUGGESTION ONLY) HE HAS COMMISSIONED A COUNTERFEIT TO BE WORSHIPED AS GOD. AND HER NAME IS ‘NATURE’.

IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE SHE’S A GOD, READ HOW THOSE THAT DENY THE GOD OF CREATION EXPLAIN HOW ALL THE ORDER, DESIGN AND PURPOSE THAT WE SEE CAME FROM CHAOS.

‘MOTHER’ NATURE ‘CHOSE’ CERTAIN SPECIES AND CHAINS OF EVENTS TO PRODUCE THE ‘APPEARANCE’ OF A DESIGNER. ROMANS 1:16-25

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL. WE HAVE BEEN LED TO BELIEVE THAT THE SOLUTION TO THIS EARTH’S PROBLEMS IS THROUGH THIS GOD OR ‘NATURAL’ MEANS.

WELL, GOVERNMENT, RECYCLING AND SAVING THE WHALES WILL NOT SAVE US OR THIS PLANET.

WHY? READ ROMANS 8:19-22. ALL CREATION GROANS (TRAVAILS) FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS (CHILDREN) OF GOD. THAT’S US.

AND WHAT’S THAT GOT TO DO WITH ‘THE SOWER SOWING THE WORD’? MARK 4:14…EVERYTHING.

LET’S READ VERSE 13…And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER IS THE KEY TO ALL PARABLES. IN OTHER WORDS: TO UNDERSTANDING THE WORD OF GOD…AND THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS IN PARTICULAR THIS ‘ANSWER KEY’ MUST BE UNDERSTOOD.

AND HE DIDN’T TEACH ANYTHING ‘NATURAL’. EVERYTHING JESUS TAUGHT WAS IN THE SPIRIT AND BY FAITH. IN OTHER WORDS ‘SUPER-NATURAL’

WHICH, VERY SIMPLY, IS WHY THE CHURCH HAS MISSED IT FOR SO LONG. WE’VE TRIED TO BE THE ‘GOOD GUYS’ OF THIS PLANET INSTEAD OF THE OWNERS.

ADAM WAS GIVEN OWNERSHIP OF THIS EARTH FROM IT’S FIRST OWNER, THE GOD OF CREATION. WHEN ADAM CHOSE A NEW ‘GOD / FATHER’ BY HIS TREASON HE SIGNED OVER THAT TITLE DEED TO HIS NEW ‘LORD’.

THINGS REMAINED THAT WAY UNTIL JESUS STRIPPED THE DEVIL OF EVERYTHING HE OWNED…AND HAVING SPOILED PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, HE MADE A SHEW OF THEM OPENLY, TRIUMPHING OVER THEM IN IT. COLOSSIANS 2:13-15

HE TOOK BACK EVERYTHING ADAM LOST. AND WE ARE HEIRS OF GOD AND JOINT HEIRS OF JESUS. WE’RE THE ‘GOOD GUYS’ TO BE SURE…BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY WE HOLD CLEAR TITLE AND SHOULD BE OPERATING AS OWNERS WITH STEWARDSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES.

THE ‘BLESSING’ ON ADAM HAS NOW COME ON US THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it [in Love]: and have dominion [ruling by Love]over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. See Romans 4 and Galatians 3.

THE SUPER-NATURAL SHOUD BE OUR NORM.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:7; ROMANS 8:1, ROMANS 16:19-20;

MARK CHAPTERS 10, 11; 1 JOHN 5:4,18;

1 PETER 1:3,4,8,9,19; 2 CORINTHIANS 2:14; 4:13; 5:17-21

JOHN 14:3,12,13,14,17,23,27; JOHN 15:7,16 (CHOSEN)

JOHN 16:1,13; JOHN 17:20,22,23,24,26

THAT’S A LOT OF SCRIPTURE…SO HERE THEY ARE…

I’LL LET YOU CONNECT THEM…

For we walk by faith, not by sight…

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (senses), but after the Spirit (faith)…

For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. And the God of peace shall crush Satan under your feet shortly…

You’ll have to look up those 2 chapters in Mark on your own…Nothing in there is ‘natural’ (possible).

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
