The Spirit of God brought into the created order new life in the beginning of time. It says that He hovered over creation. The Spirit is the source of our power since the energy that it took to bring about creating from nothing was essential. We see that God breathed into his nostrils the breath of God and man became a living spirit. The Spirit was in the original creation of men, giving the essential energy to exist. There was a free flow of the perfect order which made a much higher consciousness in the original man. Mans awareness to understand the unseen universe in relation to how he view himself and his surroundings was beyond our ability to imagine. Man had a perfect rest since there were no adversarial energy in the working out of all things.

Sin has made it very difficult to live in this world in this continuous restful trust in God. First because sin blinds the mind of a person to the glory of the original creation. It darkens the understanding to have a conscious ability to know that He is God. This whole order of the universe was turned upside down so that we were cast into a conscious reality that was full of uncertainty, having to face an adversarial powers , including forces that are too strong for us, and experiencing a fluctuation in the conscious reality of divine intervention , with the steady decline of the energy to sustain a consistent level of experiencing the strength to persevere.

God has come through Christ who was the perfect man and reversed these tendencies. The conscious awareness of Christ as a man could not be understood, there is no comparison. Christ trusted the Father at all times in the greatest amount of love, with the supreme amount of energy as He confronted His own human frailties. He probably experience His frailties in a more real way than we do since He experienced them with an understanding of being consciously aware of all the workings of the world at all times. He saw the plots and the hatred even tho He was not present in His body. This was also why the experience of His death was unfathomable to us. Not only did a perfect holy sacrifice face the worse depravity, but all of the understanding and feeling about the punishment was experienced in order to be the perfect sacrifice. And i guess you could say that it was unfathomably hard for Him to deal with His own human weakness since He had the understanding of the power from on High.

We are born into trouble. That is why we face so much uncertainty in this world. It is what clouds our understanding of the Spirits presence with us. The Spirit is near since Christ has sent Him to be our comforter. We have such a weak frame to know and understand what we possess. We have a revelation of new knowledge that is from a divine source. The knowledge gives us an understanding of the nature in that revelation. We are made aware of the energy and conscious understanding that God is near. But we fluctuate in the energy, the will, and the understanding because of the curse of sin. This is why we do not like things to be up and down, uncertain, and at times fearful. This is why we long to be free from these forces that are too strong for us. Those things that we experience that cloud our understanding of the peace and joy that comes from His presence.

We cry from this weakness that floods our souls. We are encouraged to come to Him for wisdom. Our conscious level of knowing that He will speak to us is being drawn to Him in the call of His response to our cry. There is an uncertainty that we experience in this cursed blindness we have in our dumbness. I am not even certain that we can avoid this paradigm by our growth in Him. There is a cause of a lack of understanding of the nature of this power and nearness that is within us that we are not completely able to overcome. Yet we have a promise that if we draw near to Him , then He will draw near to us. But then its in drawing near that we experience His nearness. Maybe its not a response as much as Him drawing us by our desire to be near in our prayers. If we could produce this restful paradigm then we could obtain His love by our prayers. But He is promised to revive us in praying in order to pray. I guess we are blinded by the conscious awareness that its a struggle to completely understand His gentle communication.

Here we find rest. We experience His nearness. How can He draw near without changing our understanding to be aware that He is near? For this is why we know of the power to be there in order for us to be confident that these paradigms that are too strong for us that are within us and without us have dissipated in His presence. Here the Spirit effects this design to bring us into a fellowship that is without fear. This is what Gods love is when He is near in His divine unction. Oh my how we struggle with having a confidence that is extra ordinary.
