Title: The Missing Link; Catalog of Heaven's Creation Story

"In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth."
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The creative narrative is a captivating tale. Undoubtedly, God created either heaven or the heavens and the earth. Creation unfolded at the inception, yet the query arises: which beginning marks the commencement of this story and the era of this historic creative narrative?

A missing link exists in the catalog of the creation of the heavens. We remain unaware of the duration of this beginning and the unit of time employed to initiate the count. At the outset, God created two things: firstly, heaven as a mass component, or heavens as a division of realms—first, second, and third.

The Bible does not disclose the state of affairs regarding the condition of the heavens. It leaves us uninformed about the duration of God's creation of the heavens above. The creation of angels and celestial beings is concealed from our knowledge. In fact, it is the Earth whose condition is revealed. The Bible states (Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬ ‭), "The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters."

It is conceivable that the beginning of Heaven differs from Earth's beginning. The time count or measure of Heaven was likely distinct from that of Earth. Even with Earth, what is the beginning before the fourth-day creation of the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night? The Chronos time count may have commenced after the fourth day, suggesting a beginning that extends beyond our Chronos time.

Let's draw insight from John 1, which also speaks about the beginning. The Bible is unequivocal. John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭states, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."

We read about the beginning and what existed in the beginning to initiate the commencement. The Bible asserts that, in the beginning, was the WORD. Before the beginning, the word existed. The existing word was God. Heaven began with God and Himself, the Word. His spoken word was life, and the life became light. The light shone in the darkness, and darkness succumbed to life, marking the beginning of Earth's creation. The light in creation was the infusion of life into the earth, distinct from natural light from the sun, moon, and stars. Thus, the life and light that sustained creation in the beginning may have adhered to a different time count; perhaps it was a spiritual time—a perpetual entity time zone where past, present, and future fuse together as God's dwelling time.

The word is the life and the light of the world."He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation" (Colossians 1:15). Jesus Christ, the Word of God and God of the Word, is the firstborn of creation.

In the beginning, he led creation into existence, the light and life of the word manifesting to confront darkness. Continuously, he sustains creation in its purpose, and the light serves as a display of his life within creation. This light transcends time; it generated time and gave it meaning in existence.

Title: "Navigating Life's Tapestry: Embracing the Beauty of Time"

In simple language, time is a profound mystery, intricately woven into the fabric of life. The Bible tells us that everything has its purpose and a designated time under the sun. Time is not just a ticking clock; it's a crucial commodity, granting us the opportunity to fulfill our life's purpose on Earth.

We cannot hoard time like material possessions. It's contemplative when present, a memorial when past, and imaginative when future. The only tangible reality of time is the present — what you can do with it now. Time holds opportunities, and those who use it wisely discover hidden possibilities.

Preparation, combined with opportunity, breeds success. God has given everyone the same life, time, and opportunities; it's our preparation that determines our outcomes. Wise King Solomon's words remind us that there is a time for everything, and forcing actions outside their appointed time leads to an abuse of time.

”To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.“
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭

Ignorance about time leads to an abuse of time. The abuse of time results in struggles, disappointment, and failure. Understanding the season for each purpose is essential. As Ecclesiastes‬ ‭9‬:‭11‬ emphasizes, the race isn't always to the swift or the battle to the strong; time and chance happen to everyone.

In conclusion, echoing the wisdom from Ecclesiastes, let's strive to make everything beautiful in its time, mirroring the divine order. Time is a precious gift — use it wisely, embrace its beauty, and remember that every moment carries its own purpose.

Title: "Unveiling Divine Power: A Formal Exploration of Its Definition and Manifestation"

Definition of Power:

In the kingdom of God, power unfolds through four distinct expressions:

1. The ability to do: Signifying the capability to take decisive actions and accomplish tasks.

2. The ability to have a desired result: Involving the potential to achieve specific outcomes in alignment with intentions.

3. The ability to be in control: Denoting the authority and influence to govern and direct situations.

4. The ability to demonstrate or showcase: Allowing for the manifestation and display of one's capabilities.

Power is manifested in the kingdom of God through:
- The ability to do what must be done.
- The ability to possess what must be possessed.
- The ability to attain intended consequences.
- The ability to be in control.

The significance of power acquisition is highlighted in the Bible when Jesus instructed his disciples and believers, "Wait Until You’re Endued with Power from On High." The biblical reference in Luke 24:49 underscores the waiting process as a means to receive divine power: "Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high." Waiting is presented as a crucial step in obtaining power.

The concept of receiving power, as depicted in Acts 1:6-8, cannot be overemphasized. The passage conveys that it is not within human knowledge to predict specific times or seasons, but the assurance is given that individuals shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon them. This power, in turn, empowers individuals to be witnesses in various regions, as articulated: "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." The waiting period, therefore, is integral to the reception and manifestation of divine power.

In conclusion, the concept of power within the kingdom of God and elsewhere encompasses a multifaceted dynamic, involving the ability to act decisively, achieve desired outcomes, exert control, and showcase one's capabilities. This divine power is expressed through the fundamental capacities to do what is necessary, possess essential elements, attain intended consequences, and maintain control.

In essence, the power deal within the kingdom of God revolves around the transformative waiting period, leading to the reception and manifestation of divine power. This power, once acquired, equips individuals with the spiritual fortitude to fulfill their purpose and be impactful witnesses in their communities and beyond.

Title: “The Three Laws of Life.”

There is an interplay of three basic laws should all the laws in the universe be grouped, These laws encompass spiritual, natural, and man-made principles, each influencing the others in a complex dance of existence.

Spiritual, Natural, and Man-Made Laws are the essence of life, offering a higher latitude of power and authority to those who comprehend their functions.

Insights from Biblical Characters Introduction:
In the intricate dimensions of existence, these laws shape our understanding of the world: spiritual, natural, and man-made. Each law is interconnected, with one imposing its influence on the other. This article explores the definitions of these laws, how they originated, their interdependence, and how faith, exemplified in biblical characters, operates within the realm of spiritual laws to bring about excellence and exercise dominion.

1. Spiritual Law:
"God's spoken utterance is the edict of the sovereign King," as stated in Genesis 1:1-3. The divine command to darkness to produce light illustrates the power of God's spoken word as a spiritual law imposed on the universe. Faith is paramount, as emphasized in Hebrews 11:3, where belief creates and forms the world.

Defined by a higher, transcendent force, spiritual laws govern unseen aspects, associated with morality, purpose, and divine order. Faith, a fundamental aspect of spiritual law, operates as the driving force behind these principles.

2. Natural Law:
Natural laws are derivatives of spiritual laws, as God spoke nature into existence. These laws manifest in the physical world, dictating regularities and patterns observed in nature. The dance of cause and effect intertwines the tangible reflection of natural law with its spiritual counterpart.

3. Man-Made Law:
Man-made laws are crafted by societies to regulate human behavior and maintain order, a response to the superimposition of natural laws.

Galileo Galilei one said that "Nature is relentless and unchangeable, and it is indifferent as to whether its hidden reasons and actions are understandable to man or not.

Inspired by spiritual or moral principles, these laws provide a framework for justice, governance, and societal harmony. They arise from the necessity to structure life in response to the celestial order, as depicted in Genesis 1:14-19.

Hence, there exist spiritual, natural, and man-made laws.

These laws are not isolated; instead, they derive from one another and impose upon each other. Spiritual laws set the moral and purposeful foundation, influencing natural and man-made laws. Natural laws, in turn, reflect divine order, while man-made laws uphold moral and ethical standards inspired by spiritual principles.

Faith as the Driving Force:
"Mimic God; create by faith," echoes the principle observed in the interplay of these laws. Faith, rooted in spiritual law, serves as the catalyst for excellence and the exercise of dominion. It transcends natural and man-made limitations, embodying the unwavering belief in the unseen and adherence to spiritual principles.

In conclusion, the interplay of spiritual, natural, and man-made laws unveils a profound tapestry that governs our existence. Indicated, these laws are intricately connected, with each influencing and imposing upon the other. The insights from biblical characters, such as Daniel, Samson, Moses, and Jesus Christ, exemplify the operation of spiritual laws to achieve excellence and exercise dominion.

The spiritual law, originating from the divine utterances of God, sets the moral and purposeful foundation. Faith, a fundamental aspect of this law, becomes the driving force that transcends limitations and manifests the unseen. Natural laws, derived from the spiritual, reflect the fundamental order of the universe, while man-made laws, crafted in response to the superimposition of natural laws, provide a framework for societal harmony.

The interdependence of these laws underscores the intricate balance that defines our journey through the seen and unseen realms. As we draw inspiration from biblical narratives, we are encouraged to initiate our acts by faith, mirroring the creative power demonstrated by God. In the dance of these three laws, faith emerges as the catalyst for excellence and the exercise of dominion, offering a higher latitude of power and authority.

Ultimately, understanding and navigating these laws provide profound insights into the fabric of existence, urging us to embrace the transformative power of faith and align ourselves with the principles that govern the universe.

Title: "How to operate spiritual laws and harmonize the others."

Unlocking the potential of spiritual laws and achieving harmony with them is a transformative journey we'll explore. Mere dissemination of knowledge and self-pride falls short; our pursuit transcends into the realm of spiritual insight.

Echoing a wise activist's words, we affirm that imagination surpasses knowledge; a sentiment shared wholeheartedly. Elevate and refine your personal growth by effectively applying spiritual laws to your advantage. Navigate the powerful and incredible laws of the spirit to overcome life's challenges. Understanding that true knowledge aligns with the flow, combining knowing and imagining propels us to a higher grade in the three laws of life.

Demonstrating skill and mastery lies in your readiness to translate understanding into actionable steps. Cultivate passion and unwavering drive, fueled by a shared desire for success in life. Indeed, true winners persist, refusing to quit or accept defeat. The Bible provides a foundation of wisdom to lean on and glean insights from.

Illustration through Bible Characters is of great relevance to the practice of faith and power. Several biblical characters exemplify the operation of spiritual laws through their unwavering faith, leading to excellence and dominion: let's look at a few of them who achieved extraordinary things in the name of God’s mighty power and followed their example of faith.

Daniel's faith is laudable. He silenced his accusers, overcoming death at the mouth of angry lions. Do you know why? By faith in God, he tamed hungry, angry lions in a den by superimposing the law of the Spirit against nature – hungry lions. By faith, Daniel courted the presence of the lion of the tribe of Judah in the den. It's known that Lions act upon the instruction of their head. So once the chief commander hasn't commanded his pride, they starved, and Daniel survived premature death through the operations of spiritual laws. Ultimately, God positioned him as a prominent figure in the Babylonian empire, showcasing the influence of spiritual principles on earthly affairs. Remember, he was a foreigner living in a foreign land. It resonates in my ears.

Samson's extraordinary strength, a result of his consecration to God, illustrates the supernatural manifestation of spiritual laws in the natural realm. He killed a lion with a jawbone. Think about it! Samson ran after 300 foxes, caught them single-handed, by one, and tied their tails together, setting their tails ablaze against the farmlands of the Philistines. How can a man tame nature and use it as a weapon of war if not in his ability to trigger into action a higher functional law? Just think about these exploits by a mere man. If it isn't an operation of a higher law, how could he do those exploits?

Moses, guided by faith, led the Israelites out of bondage, demonstrating the impact of spiritual principles on the liberation of a nation. By the way, remember the history of creation was written by Moses. Experts state the records were written after 3500 years of creation. If not the operation of spiritual law, how could Moses download these historical records? The partition of the Red Sea is one powerful fate. A rod pointed to the waters to be divided as a passageway? Think about these things! Every miracle is possible by a trigger into action a spiritual law, and faith is the only key that sets in motion laws of the Spirit. A natural act triggers a spiritual act.

The life of Jesus Christ epitomizes the harmonious interplay of spiritual, natural, and man-made laws. His teachings and miracles showcased the transformative power of faith on the human experience.

Conclusion: Understanding the dynamics of spiritual, natural, and man-made laws provides profound insights into the fabric of existence. Through the lens of faith, as demonstrated by biblical characters, one can navigate these laws to achieve excellence and exercise dominion over the challenges of life. The interdependence of these laws serves as a testament to the intricate balance that defines our journey through the seen and unseen realms. Acknowledge the existence of the law, investigate it, firmly believe in it, practice it, and live by it—let this guide be your compass as you consummate yourself in the intricate balance of the seen and unseen realms.

Title: "The Enduring Power of Hope; The Best Is Yet To Come"

Hope is the anticipation of better days ahead, grounded in a promise of goodwill. Consider the story of a young soldier, Griffits, a member of the U.S. Army's special forces during the Iraq invasion. Faced with overwhelming opposition and an ambush in the desert storm, he was the lone survivor. In an emotional interview, he credited hope for his survival, emphasizing the desire to return home and enjoy his dad's cooking. Whether coincidence or providence, hope played a crucial role in his resilience.

In Jeremiah 31:17, the Bible echoes the sentiment: "There is hope in your future, says the Lord, that your children shall come back to their own border." Growing up in Africa under the influence of a single parent and foster parenting, the absence of a father figure was a challenging experience. However, the confidence of hope became a source of strength, emphasizing that the best is yet to come.

Embracing finite disappointments while maintaining infinite hope is essential. Rejoicing in hope, being patient in tribulation, and remaining constant in prayer, as Romans 12:12 advises, emphasizes the importance of hope in the midst of challenges.

The passage in Romans 5:1 underscores that through faith, there is justification and peace with God. Romans 8:24 reminds us that true hope is not in what is seen but in what is yet to be attained.

Key Points:
1. Hope is an enduring force that should never be lost.
2. Confidence in hope is a source of strength.
3. True hope is derived from a connection with God.
4. Hope endures despite challenges.
5. Hope believes in the unseen possibilities.
6. True hope is imaginative and resilient.

In embracing hope, we recognize that it is never lost, even in the face of life's challenges. Confidence in hope becomes a guiding light, providing strength and resilience during difficult times. True hope, anchored in a connection with God, offers a profound source of endurance, enabling us to navigate the uncertainties of life.

The biblical passages in Romans emphasize the significance of hope as a foundation for peace with God through faith. They remind us that hope is not merely in the present or the past but resides in the unseen, challenging us to aspire for what is yet to come.

The numbered points underscore the multifaceted nature of hope – from its enduring quality to the confidence it instills, and the belief in unseen possibilities. Hope becomes a driving force, inspiring us to persevere and imagine a future that transcends our current circumstances.

As we face tribulations, the call to rejoice in hope and maintain patience is a reminder that hope is not contingent on immediate fulfillment but is a continuous, steadfast companion on our journey. The inclusion of Thomas Aquinas's insight further elucidates that hope thrives in the realm of possibilities that are both challenging and attainable.

In conclusion, the article highlights the transformative power of hope, weaving together personal stories, biblical wisdom, and philosophical reflections. The essence of hope lies not only in anticipating a better future but also in embracing the challenges along the way, knowing that the best is indeed yet to come.

Thomas Aquinas defines hope as born from the desire for something good that is "difficult but possible to attain." This perspective highlights that hope thrives when there is a realistic yet challenging path to our aspirations.
