Use the Force

I’ve been thinking about the power of God and the state of people. It’s very interesting in the light of Newton’s laws of motion. God told us to “GO” but we know that it’s not possible without force.

Newton's first law:
“Every body persists in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight forward, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by force impressed.” Wikipedia

We will persist and exist in the same state until we are compelled to change by force. God’s grace is a spiritual force which when yielded to can radically and dramatically change our course. Not that we’re forced to change but we have the Force to change if we choose.

Newton's second law:
“Newton's second law states that the force applied to a body produces a proportional acceleration” Wikipedia

So if we want to “GO into all the world…” or “GO into the highways…” or “Arise and GO your way…” or “GO and sin no more…” It’s understood that God provides the power when we yield to the force. The acceleration and manifestation of our salvation and transformation is in relation to the quality of our communication and its application.

Newton's third law:
''To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction: or the forces of two bodies on each other are always equal and are directed in opposite directions''. Wikipedia

God’s grace is always greater than our weakness but He will not force the force upon us. He gives us the privilege to receive it. The forces of good and evil are constantly pressing upon us. Good is greater but is a result of choice and evil will manifest in the absence of that choice.

Rom 7:21-22
21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.
NKJV

Rom 12:21
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
NKJV

2 Cor 12:8-108 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. NKJV
Grace is not just some used bandage that we use to cover our mistakes. It is actually the supernatural force of God to change and heal. It’s the power and ability of God to GO and to be and all He created us to be. We will accelerate, succeed and maintain our momentum in proportion that we receive and yield to God’s grace. We were made to GO FAST! But you know that if you don’t continue to apply Force that it won’t last.

PIE90 Scripture:

Rom 5:17 - For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. NKJV

Bonus:

Matt 11:12 - And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. NKJV
