Want to live “unstuck”? SHIFT YOUR SYSTEM! (part two)
YOU ARE A WONDERFUL “SYSTEM” REFLECTING HIS GENIUS! Psalm 139:14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.
Some complex systems are “chaotic.” Chaos is not the same as disorder. Chaos has its own pattern, a peculiar kind of order. This system is known as a strange attractor, because the chaotic system seems to be strangely attracted to an ideal behavior.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
WISDOM IS A SYSTEMS THING! Wisdom finds patterns in the chaos! Wisdom helps the “OVERWHELMED”! “Comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God”! ---And we could add--into our own lives! GOD GIVES WISDOM!
Remember God’s SYSTEMS THINKING: Romans 8:28 And we know (“see it”) that all things work together (synergize—join energies) for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose and design!
TO SHIFT YOUR SYSTEM, SOMETIMES YOU MUST BE WILLING TO LET GO OF THE “BIG” RESULTS AND ACCEPT GOD’S “SMALL” BEGINNINGS! Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. Or, “Results beyond our thoughts will arise from these beginnings in which we now participate.”
Sensationalism: BEING DETERMINED THAT GOD WILL ONLY BE IN THE EARTHQUAKE, THE FIRE AND/OR THE WIND, rather than the still, small voice! (I Kings 19:1-13)

CHAOS is “SENSITIVE DEPENDENCE ON INITIAL CONDITIONS” IN A SYSTEM!
Charting whole Hurricanes from A little tiny Oscillation Somewhere strategic (Sometimes, just quit rounding off!)
I Corinthians 2:16 For who has known the Lord's mind, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Romans 11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! He knows what makes my life TICK! Read the rest of Psalm 139!
“CONTROLLED DEMOTION” The explosives are just the trigger for the demolition. It's gravity that brings the building down.
The Holy Spirit knows your blueprint! He knows just where to place the charges to collapse the structures of bondage that have been built in your life down into their footprint so they are no longer habitable! He knows how to take down the high rises AND the ancient ruins! II Corinthians 10:4-5 For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but divinely powerful toward the demolition of strongholds, We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
THE POWER OF THE SMALL: If God gave you the seed, He gave you the TREE! I Peter 1:23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
What is a SEED but a little protected packet of strategically placed DNA?
REMEMBER YOUR BIOLOGY? DNA is amazing!
FRAMESHIFT MUTATION: Shifts the “reading frame” so that entirely different proteins are made!
You might need to shift your reading frame back! You might be reading some things wrong about yourself and making the wrong proteins! (Manifesting the wrong things!) IF THE ENEMY HAS INSERTED CONDEMNATION, OR DELETED ACCEPTANCE, YOU NEED A REVERSE FRAMESHIFT!
THE LOVE OF GOD WILL SHIFT YOU TO THE PROPER READING FRAME! WHEN YOU ARE NOT FULLY LOVED, YOU WILL MAKE THE WRONG PROTEINS! I John 4:18 There is no fear where love exists. Rather, perfect love banishes fear, for fear involves punishment, and the person who lives in fear has not been perfected in love.
Your DNA is a generator of your “life story, but if you read it wrong, you might be reading the wrong story! GIDEON was doing that! He was hiding in a wine press (threshing wheat) when an angel said to him, “The Lord is with you, O mighty man of valor!” (Judges 6)
You are only as happy/fulfilled/joyful as your STORY! If you don’t like your story, ask God for a new one! New God-stories are handed out at the throne! You don’t have to change your DNA to change your story! Just let GOD (not man and not religious condemnation) show you how to read it in the Ephesians 2:10 way He intended it to read!
LAW (GUILT, CONDEMNATION) WAS A FRAMESHIFT—BUT YOU CAN SHIFT BACK TO SPIRIT (WHERE GRACE READS IT ALL)! The message of Christianity is that there’s a WELCOME--not a “WHIPPING”--at the center of the UNIVERSE!
