Living on another level

 Is 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

 

Gods ways are HIGHER than our ways. His ways is on another level. Down here on earth there are many different ways. Every way leads in different direction. But no matter what way you will choose in life, they all end up at the same place. If you start walking in one direction, and never turn, you will eventually end up at the same place. If you then turn to the left and start walking, you will still end up at the same place. No matter direction you go, you will still end up at the same place. This is because of gravity that drags you down and so when you have walked around the earth, you end up at the same place.

The same is true about your Spiritual life. No matter what life philosophy, religion, or valuesystem you choose to follow, you will still end up at the same place called hell. Its because something called sin that drags you down to this level, and make sure you end up at the same place. 

But Jesus is not just another direction. While Buddah says, go this way, and Muhammed says go this way, humanism says go this way, and your lifecoach says go this way. Jesus say I AM the way. And my ways are on another level. They are HIGHER than your ways.

 

God will not come down to our level, but he invites us up to his level. He will not be part of our plans, but he invites us to be part of his plans. When we walk in the Spirit, we are walking on another level. The Devil has no access to this level. That’s why he always is trying to tempt us back to the carnal level where he can attack us. If we walk in the Spirit, we shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Jesus said it this way: The Son of man which IS in heaven… He was walking on earth, but at the same time he was in heaven. He was on another level. So he wants us to walk on another level. My friend was born again while in prison. This level told him he was bound, and in prison, while the other level told him he was free. This level might tell you that you are sick, while the other level tells you that you are healed. This level might tell you that you are worth nothing, while the other level tells you that you are valuable. This level might tell you there is no hope, while the other level tells you about the blessed hope we have. 

So we can choose. What level do we want to live on? This level with all its misery and attacks, or Jesus level where the enemy can’t reach us?
