Road Map to God's Way |
This road map describes the process and pattern by which God is going to bring about the Manifestation of the Sons of God and establish His Kingdom. God's Process God has a process that we must follow in everything we think, say, and do. God's process requires God's pattern--the two are interdependent. We must do everything in the Name of Jesus. When you do something in the Name of Jesus, it is Christ in you doing the work.
First, you listen and wait with reverence and honor toward God until God gives you direction. When God speaks (1 Corinthians 12:3, Romans 10:17, Isaiah 48:17, Matthew 4:4), you hear and submit yourself to His words (Proverbs 1:33, John 6:28-29, Hebrews 3:15). (some caveats about hearing God's Voice) When God leads it is always an unveiling of Christ in you, and His leading always gives you a better understanding of who you are in Christ (James 1:22-25, 2 Corinthians 3:18, 1 Corinthians 13:12). As you hear God, you see yourself as a member of Christ the Body joined to Christ the Head. You recognize your dependence on Christ the Body and Christ the Head. If you are to do anything in the Name or Jesus, you must take your place in Christ the Body. When you hear the voice of God in this way, faith fills your heart--the faith of God as opposed to rationalized faith (Romans 10:17). Faith then gives you access to the grace of God (Romans 5:2). When grace (the free gift of righteousness) flows, the love of God is shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Ghost (Romans 6:13). It is actually Grace Who does the work or prays the prayer through you (1 Corinthians 15:10, Romans 10:3, Hebrews 12:28b, Romans 5:18-21). You are changed whenever you stand in His presence. You are transfigured to some degree by the experience. This is called holiness and redemption (being set free from the slavery of sin). Whatever is not of faith is sin. It is possible to pray an unrighteous prayer or do other unrighteous religious things. Whatever God did not tell you to do is sin. God's PatternGod has a pattern. His pattern requires His process. See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. Hebrews 8:5 God has a pattern for every aspect of your life, for your home, for the local Church, and for the Church universal. His pattern includes all the orders mentioned in Scripture, all the Offices mentioned in Scripture, all the Ministries mentioned in Scripture, and all the Gifts mentioned in Scripture. His pattern is vital. There is nothing of permanent value that is established outside of the pattern and process of God working together. When the first temple was fully built according to the pattern, the glory of God filled His temple--a type of the Manifestation of the sons of God.
