The Spiritual Framework of Life

UV 4261/10000 The Spiritual Framework of Life By faith ( that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God) we understand that the worlds ( universe, ages) were framed and created ( formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. Hebrews 11 v 3 The physical world operates within a moral and spiritual framework set by the word of God. Hence, good management of the invisibles necessarily precedes good management of the visible. The best return on investment we can get by focusing on the invisible and the eternal that determines the shape and dimensions of the physical. Hence, issues like longevity, endurance, productivity, our holistic health are determined by the invisible principles and precepts embodied in the word. If we want a change in the physical realms, we need to start with the spiritual, the invisible realm ruled by God. God spoke the universe into being. Hence, the spoken word is powerful, effective, active and it impacts our lives in more ways than we can understand. The spoken word of God can be used to heal, to deliver, to save, to bless, to inspire, to encourage, to equip, to empower, to enable. The word enables us to find and achieve the purpose for which we are created. It releases the embedded power of God in us to pursue and attain that purpose in our lives. The frame work of the word will keep us getting side tracked by the enemy of our souls who makes his presence felt through his power, folly and evil. The enemy tries to frame us, blame us, shame us while the Lord delivers us through the framework of the word. The word is needed for leading a victorious and successful life in the most holistic usage of the terms success and victory. The word of God that we speak, share, teach, meditate on in full faith is the hook by which the Lord makes manifest His wisdom, power, goodness, love in our lives. Without the word and faith in it, our lives would be like drift wood on the ocean of life. We would be moving hither and thither without meaning, direction, purpose or power. The word spoken in faith is a spiritual trigger to release the unseen dimensions of the power, love and wisdom of God in our lives. The word acts as an anchor, a helm, a moral compass, the keel, the rudder, the sail and rail of our boat of life. It comes alive or becomes real in our day to day practical situations, in the crisis points, in the highs and lows of our lives. It provides the spurs to action as well as the brakes we apply to stop something negative or harmful to ourselves or others.
