Thus, in the Psalms, we witness Christ praying earnestly within the framework of this Absolute reality. He engages in heartfelt supplication against formidable foes, wielding the absolute power to pronounce both blessings and curses in any given situation. We must not allow ourselves to be swayed by external circumstances; rather, we stand firm in the knowledge that we are in Christ, who possesses eternal dominion over all creation. We receive His absolute declarations, which serve as a framework for the ideas He presents to us. Given that we utter blessings and curses in abundance, we are empowered to dominate all that Christ has rightfully achieved. In this perspective, the events of the world only hold significance when they align with our favor. The standard is that those who know Him experience joy in His presence; they can continually affirm that the Lord is indeed working for the benefit of His servants. Is it not true that He prophesies goodness over us because His grace ultimately prevails? This grace, which always triumphs, underscores the hope we have as we navigate the complexities of life, anchored in the truth of God’s unwavering love and purpose for us. Everything we endure in this life is absolute before it materializes; it exists in the divine realm before it becomes evident in our reality. For those who find refuge in Christ, the curse of sin no longer holds sway over us; we are considered absolute friends of God. His perspective of us is not contingent upon our successes or failures. Instead, He sees us through the lens of His grace, even as we stumble or sin. How many of the chosen truly engage in sincere prayer when they are accepted without critique? God has equipped us with the same authority He bestowed upon His Son. Our struggles often originate in the metaphysical realm, where profound spiritual battles manifest in our lives. Given this context, how can we accurately discern what God has to say about us when there seems to be a vast conspiracy aimed at undermining Christ? Christ himself wisely remarked that if they have acted against him with such impunity, we should not be surprised when they do the same to us. This acknowledgment serves as a reminder of the weight and significance of God’s declarations concerning our lives. His pronouncements are unwavering and absolute. We find ourselves in one of two states: either we are vilified or we are blessed. There are no alternatives; we are either on a path leading to destruction or securely held in the hands of God. Does God view us as incomplete, even when we believe we have reached a state of completion and have been bestowed with extraordinary gifts in advance? I have been reflecting on this notion repeatedly for quite some time, emphasizing that the Christian life cannot be adequately regulated or confined to our limited understanding. I recall a time when I was unusually young and found my vision impaired; I struggled to see the truth that surrounded me. There was an abundance of objective reality in the world, yet I couldn’t comprehend why my personal perspective felt so utterly insignificant. I managed to hold on to a few aspects of my life that I could control, but ultimately, the essence of the Christian existence is that it is rooted in a divine reality that transcends our earthly limitations.
