The Pianoist III Contd.

"Well seriously now", I continued, trying to bring seriousness back. "Our souls comprise of our will, emotion and intellect, it's the interface between the physical and the supernatural and our thoughts and attitude derives from paradigms that reside in the soul."
"You wanna have me believe that I am defined by something resident in my soul?" Larry asked.
"Exactly! Replied Lynn. "You are the product of thought patterns and systems absorbed from your environment. You begin to release these things you have inside as time and circumstances permit." Lynn continued.
"This is what Jesus meant when he said that it is out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. He was talking about the abundance of the paradigms residing in the depths of your soul. Apostle Paul calls it 'the spirit of the mind', I said.
"This still sounds spookey to me. I should be leery of you guys, you all talk like you've been hypnotised", came Larry's confused remark.
Yes he was confused now but we were willing to see this through no matter how long and hard it took.

The simple truth is that Larry sees things the way he does because of the paradigms embedded in his soul by his environment. These pararigms repose in his soul and are staired to the surface by circumstances. Thoughts that derive form these paradigms are powerful and can influence a man for his entire life. They can styme his growth and deny him his life's fulfilment. This is the bottom line of Larry's battle, this is his challenge.

Oh Lord, I seriously need some help with this guy, I feel his time has finally come and as you have appionted, this is the season for his liberation by the renewing of his mind. Let me reach into him, melt his stoney heart and let him acknowledge his most pressing need. I prayed silently in my thoughts. Larry needed a massive paradigm shift and I realised this one meeting was not enough to achieve this. "Teach my son" came the authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit, "use your experience and how you overcame. He can relate to this since he shared in most of it."
"Yes!" I exclaimed. I pulled Lynn to a corner and told her what had just happened.

watch out for chapter IV...

Secrets of Divine actions.

This is a sequel to the last post on The Ways of God. I laid some foundations that are necessary to thoroughly understanding this teaching. You can read up THE WAYS OF GOD to catch on. God the Father is the most important revelation the new testament believer must catch. This revelation is the very core of the ministry of Jesus, while he was on earth and today in the lives of believers. The gospel has one objective which is to reveal to us the person and character of the Father. A man may be introduced to a child as being his father but it takes more than an introduction to have a family relationship. The child will only begin to relate well with this person the more the child comes to know this person. My emphasis being on the Word PERSON. I posed some questions in the concluding part of my last post. We will use them as a line to guide us to our destination. God bless you as you undertake this journey of the Word with me. I celebrate you. What drives God's divine actions is wh...

Orbis Unum

We witness a display of man's tendency for a unified system in the Babel episode as recorded in the book of genesis. Here we see man uniting and making himself mighty in a "one world" government. I want to answer two questions that arise from that episode: Was man's crave for a one world government (and that crave is still unsatisfied) an accident? Also, was God's refusal justified? "Orbis Unum" is the latin for "one world" and this has been the direction that world politics has been heading. From the time of Nimrod, to the Pharohes of Egypt, to Nebuchadnezzar, to Dairus, to Alexander the great, to Julius Ceasar, the list is endless. The primary motive that drove the manifestation of their dominion was Orbis Unum. Believe it or not, the Roman Catholic Church joined the party and Islam is about Orbis Unum.Why then is this drive towards a one world system? Understanding this will give insight into the direction that world politics is heading to...

The Owner of the Office knows best.

Earlier this evening I decided to cook for the family. I wanted to prepare a local delicacy popular with the Enugu people of Eastern Nigeria. It is called Okpa. It is a pudding made from the flour of bambara nuts with palm oil, pepper and a little salt. You can add pepper to taste. My son is particularly fond of it. Well, my wife is the manager of the kitchen and the store. She went to church for clean up, leaving me and my boy at home. I decided to give her a helping hand. It was she who organized the store and it was she who really knew where what was kept. I invaded her office with good intentions. But you know how that saying goes that good intentions are not enough. I had never prepared Okpa myself but I have watched her do it several times. I can learn by observation so I knew what to do. I entered into the store and got the flour I used, combining it with the other ingredients and seasoning it to taste. It was going to be delicious and I felt proud of myself. I put it on the ...
