How Does God Intervene Without Breaking His Laws?

May 072008

Though God seems not to intervene in man's affairs, the Truth is that He does, though in ways mysterious and profound. God does not leave us without hope or without Light. Althroughout history, the Bible tells us of countless interventions by God, a God who performs the initiative and seeks out His people to show them the way.

I believe that not one of those interventions however, were ever accomplished without a chosen messenger or vehicle with which His plans shall be accomplished. I call them TRANSMUTERS, the instruments of change used by God to intervene without breaking His own laws of the universe.

Remember Elijah and the power of shutting down the heavens so it will not rain. Remember Moses and the plagues and the parting of the sea. Remember Jesus Himself who performed countless wonders and miracles, God Incarnate who came to us to show us the way.

Such is the mystery of God's intervention. He does not shout all of a sudden from heaven, frightening us all to believe in Him. He does not arrive from some alien ship and preach a good news we couldn't possibly understand. God Himself was born as a child like you and me. He came to the darkness where we are and dwelt with us. He became man, and being man like us performed miracles, healed many and performed the Ultimate Sacrifice of Love we wouldn't have known had He not done it exactly the way He did. God, the "Ultimate Transmuter of All", has transmuted Himself and gave us a mystery we couldn't ponder for all eternity.

Do you ask now why so that no miracle had been happening today right where you are? Do you still ask in anger how a God so Good and Merciful does not intervene in the affairs of man?

You are the vessel. You are the TRANSMUTER of every wonderful miracle that can be borne out of Love. Are you willing? When are you going to start?

Why doesn't God intervene in man's affairs?

One of the most common questions asked about God is this- If God is good, why doesn't He intervene in the affairs of man? This is especially so when there is suffering or an evil that should have been stopped by a good God.

What might happen indeed when God intervenes:
· God stops us from getting sick
· God stops us from dying when attacked by others
· God stops us from sinning
· God stops others from sinning against us

As we might note, if God intervenes, He must consistently do so also in order not to be deemed as imperfect or as evil. And when He does, the Laws of this world He has created shall all be broken by the very One who created it. Freedom and freewill shall no longer be, and He will infringe upon the dignity of the man He has so created in His very own image.

The source of suffering in this life comes from two things-
1. Suffering of the physical body
2. Suffering of the spiritual self

To what suffering then must God intervene for us all that we may deem Him Good and Perfect?

· As to remedying sin (cause of suffering of spiritual self), Love cannot be forced
· As to remedying physical illness and death (cause of suffering of physical body), it would be a curse to give immortality to those who have not learned of love.

The Lure of the Bright Light

The occult may not be evil in itself
for there are many truths that can be found therein
Truths that have been concealed
from many
In order to be used
for the benefit of a few

But the evil therein
that lurks behind its splendor
is the blinding light that has lured a whole many
away from the very love of God

They have turned away
and exchanged the warmth of His bosom
for the luster of gold
the mystery of the moon
and the brightness
of the stars
