I can't beleive a week has gone by and I haven't posted yet. Well on Sunday we went to a friends house to watch the Game but it was boring so we played xbox. As we got ready to leave I became very ill and was laid up in bed for 2 days. I didn't go to the gym until today it was good to get back and get a workout in. Thats about it for this post. Later
When talking about being a one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and a three dimensional person it makes me think of us as fallen humans. As created humans we are born with three dimensions body, mind and soul. I would categorize people into these dimensions
Body=one-dimensional, Body and Mind=two-dimensional and finally Body, Mind and Soul=three-dimensional.
The one-dimensional individual is a carnal individual that only thinks of him or her-self only what is pleasing to self .For this will invariably lead to self destruction and a life of unhappiness and no real satisfaction in life. They are constantly looking for the next high what ever it may be. Many unsaved and saved individuals live in this cesspool of life and will never find fulfillment and purpose until their focus in on Jesus than themselves.
The two dimensional individuals who live in this realm have the mind and the body are working in unison. Morals and values are the key to this individual thinking. Doing what is right in situations. But yet their foundations for thinking are set on shaky ground. They are fine with things of this world as long as it doesn’t affect me.
The three-dimensional individual is one who has surrendered his life to the one true Savior and Lord. His body and mind are led by the Holy Spirit which dwells in him. There is great fulfillment to his life and to others around him. Self does not exist here, only the light Christ shining His light through the individual.
So how does this relate to being a vessel for God? Where is your thinking self or God. When we are focused on Him He uses us in ways we never knew were possible. Plus we were created to worship Him. It is pure joy when we focus on God and pure hell when we focus on self.
I came across this sticker while in California on vacation. It says so much to what the Community of Refuge believes and wants to be about. Community is about building strong lasting relationships with people, not trying to live the rules of organized religion. The Community of Refuge seeks to tell people about Jesus Christ through their lives and the way in which we interact with people and nature. Jesus Christ is our example of how to have relationships with people. He knew what people needed and listened to them and provided for them. Many people have only sought others for what they can receive, but Jesus sought so that He may give. In a relationship we are to give of ourselves so that people will grow. Religion is man made it can not fully comprehend the wisdom and knowledge of God. Only when we are in an intimate relationship with Him will this be revealed to us. For example a husband and wife share a special bond and relationship with each other. They know the entire intimate details of the others life and this gives them an open door to their thought, dreams hopes and fears. God wants to share Himself with us and He wants us to share our life with Him. Religion will only get us so far and frustrate us. We can go so much deeper in life if we open the fortresses that we have placed in our lives and learn to be in relationship with people nature and God.
