Matthew 8:5-13
A Roman Officer Demonstrates Faith
God does not show favoritism.
Use Universal forces to your advantage.
Universal forces work no matter who you are, where you are, or when you exist.
The Roman Officer is the type of person who realizes their need for God and Christ in their life. The difference between this Roman officer and most other people is that he understands how God and Christ actually work. He knows that even though he may be unworthy, God shows no favoritism and is always there for him. Remember:
“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.”
In the course of human history, there are instances when profound truths are glimpsed through unexpected interactions. One such occurrence is documented in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 8, recounting Jesus' encounter with a Roman officer. This encounter offers invaluable insight into the nature of God and how God's laws operate in our lives. Let us explore this profound truth, an understanding that we can carry into our daily lives to transform and elevate ourselves.
The Roman officer's understanding of the divine deeply impressed Jesus. This unlikely disciple perceived the inherent nature of God's work, which transcends human rules and limitations. God, and His Son, Christ - the embodiment of the Way of God - are not bound to physical bodies nor subject to human law. They are omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent forces that operate universally.
Cause and effect is a principle at the heart of these universal laws. Actions create ripples, influencing the results we experience in our lives. These forces act independently of human constructs like governments, societies, or systems. No "chains of oppression" can halt the effect of these forces; the ripples you create are unstoppable. This unstoppable power of the universe is what I refer to as having "friends in high places."
These universal forces work for everyone and bow to no one. The only obstacle that can hinder the work of these forces is you. Fear, distraction, and ignorance can prevent you from taking the necessary actions that generate beneficial ripples in your life. The world has successfully implemented these tactics on multitudes of people. But why is this the case? Why aren't these truths widely taught or understood?
Regrettably, our parents and teachers, despite their deep care and concern for us, can only impart knowledge they themselves possess. It's impossible for them to teach us these profound truths if they have never learned them. But take heart. Rest assured that God and Christ operate ceaselessly, regardless of human awareness or understanding.
God, the embodiment of Spirit and Life, is impartial. Your identity, location, or era does not influence the functioning of the Way of God. If you live according to the Way, you will undoubtedly reap the benefits. So, as you venture out into the world, remain faithful and continue to do what matters most to you. Apply these powerful forces to your advantage.
Greatness, we must understand, is a matter of philosophy, not physicality. It's in this understanding that the Demigod Code, also known as the Way of God, serves as a bridge between you and God. This isn't a simple dichotomy of you on one side and God on the other, waiting for divine intervention. You utilize the Code, the Way, to become an extension of God, bringing the divine into your realm. Yet, many hesitate to hone this power, to put in the work required to manifest it. The Demigods, however, have no such reservations.
A Demigod is a servant, an influencer of results. The more deliberate and intentional you are, the more powerful you become. God intended for you to be the primary influencer in your life, not other people or circumstances. "Always be influencing," is the mantra to adopt. Continually evoke natural and universal laws in your favor, plant and nurture seeds, and witness the transformative power of these forces.
Finally, it's crucial to understand that the forces of God and Christ are ardent advocates of quality. As Bruce Lee famously stated, "Quality, man, quality. If quality is right, then everything is right." Always ask yourself, "Is this the best quality I have to offer?" Our intentions and expertise's quality evokes God's forces to work in our favor. This power cannot be purchased; it can only be earned and honed through diligent practice.
A master can traverse anywhere, carrying nothing, and yet generate significant results. As aspiring Demigods, we should embrace this understanding without doubt or question. We are always surrounded by power, irrespective of who we are, where we come from, or when we exist.
Take action, and you will find God responding, for this is the very essence of how God works. This understanding, this truth, is the Demigod Code. Embrace it, apply it, and witness the transformation it brings into your life. It's time to transcend the ordinary and step into your destined greatness.
Using Powerful Forces to your Advantage
A human being is a catalyst, for we have the ability initiate and influence results.
A Child of God is a Servant of Life and our purpose is, was, and always will be to manage the Earth. A servant is an influencer of results and influencers are direct, deliberate, intentional.
The more deliberate you are in living up to your capabilities, the more powerful you become; and God always originally intended for you to be the most powerful influence on your life, not other people or circumstances.
I don’t know what everyone else is doing, but this is CHRIST MASTERY! This is what we’re doing!
This is God & Christ Centered.
This is Purpose & Results Driven.
This is your claws and teeth in the fight. This is what you use to survive and win the day; not panic, cowardice, or tantrums, not despair and desperation, not doubt or fear.
Do what everyone else doesn't, so you can actually have what they won't; which is ultimately being the successful, winning individual God intended you to be in the inspiration of your creation.
Being fundamentally sound is the most powerful thing you can ever do for yourself, and this is and has always been God’s gift to you. This is being saved.
Let this wisdom be your guide and support. Let this wisdom keep you going in the world and you’ll be seeing, creating, capitalizing, and seizing opportunities in no time.
Let’s go make things happen!
Godspeed!
