The system

Rom. 8:28-30 ‘And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified (NASB).’

The system in these verses above is created to provide a certain outcome, intentionally; God does not make any random acts such as kindness or humility, it is purposeful not accidental. We serve a God who more strategic than we could ever image, and the plan ever so perfect, if followed as it is laid out, we would see the impossible become possible, the unavailable become available, the lost become the found, and love abound. However, we, man, create, develop, build, or become a part of system that results in an outcome not desire because we fight, we let our emotional logic, which is flaw at best, state direct us, the personal preference construct and frame our actions, while our desire of immediacy and gratification shapes and molds us. Only later, too late, to realize we developed a blueprint for the negative, destructive outcome we now receive and live buy into daily. As we live a narrative of crippled truths because we base our trust in man, not God. We do not embrace a ground zero that says, spirit and truth grounds me as it transforms and confirms me, rather we attached ourselves to conformity which confines, and defines itself into stagnation, status quo, and worldly. The system of Christ does not condone in any way, and as Christian, neither should we…2 Cor. 5:17 ‘Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come (NASB).’


See, 2 Cor. 5:17 specifically, instructs, informs, directs us to a system that actually creates the desired outcome because the intent, the spirit is pure, and not convoluted with excess baggage of fear, status quo, or worldly. It creates and speaks a language of success through support and restoration, renewal through replication of God’s truth through the model, pattern found in the Son, Christ. Therefore, it should not be a surprise to anyone that the desire outcome is not achieve, when the system used, followed is flawed, and the one we, Christian should follow in the first place. A system, once understood can be applied universally with outcome we all shall find ‘more than enough’ and more abundantly for our good.
