Created Creators

The concepts of freewill and Yahweh's Sovereignty are not as irreconcilable as you might think. Nor are they answered by such flimsy explanations as, "Yahweh chose to limit Himself." Oh, it's that and so much more!

Yahweh wanted someone who could share in all facets of Him, someone who would know what it is to be a Creator and with whom He could share His Lordship. This is why He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. We are His lords and kings that He created. We are His Created Creators, and we are still creating even now with Him.

In fact, we even partnered with Him to create ourselves.

In order to understand this, we must first understand that time is not a line, at least not just a line. In fact, there are seven different views of time that I have right now, though I know that's only a fraction of all that is out there. I will not speak to all of them here, but just know that in one view of time, everything is happening simultaneously. This is how we are currently creating with Yahweh even though we've also already been created. 


Before time, in the Finished Work, in the Fullness of Yahweh, we wrote and completed a Covenant by faith. This Covenant was finished as soon as Yahweh and we said “yes and amen” together. It happened that Yahweh opened His whole being to us, every possible nuance and point of existence in all of our lives and experience and He gave it to us to choose.

We could choose anything we wanted, for all of it was good and permissible to us. As we chose, advised and cared for by Yahweh, He wrote it into the contract, the Covenant, of our lives. Then, once we had made all of our choices, we said “yes and amen” and the total completion of the Finished Covenant spread out from that point to reach all points in Infinite-Eternity, including the points in space-time.

In space-time, which is a part of Infinite-Eternity, we walk out this Covenant, rediscovering and agreeing to it by faith so that that which as written in the contract and drawn on the blueprints can be manifest in expression and built as a great sign for all to see. Thus the completion of the Covenant is made by faith so that that which is seen reflects that which is not seen.

Yet, because all of infinite-eternity exists simultaneously, the Finished Work exists always, even in the process, and both sides of the process also exist always. Thus that we are even now resting in the finished work and writing the original Covenant and walking out the building and completion of the expression of the original Covenant at the same time.

Due to the fluidity of the workings, all affect each other. That Yahweh’s sovereignty in the Finished Work affects our expression in space-time and our faith in space-time affects our ability to choose from all possibilities what will be in the Covenant, and the Covenant itself affects what righteous decisions can be made in space-time. In other words, by the faith that we choose today, we either limit or remove the limitations surrounding the Realm of Possibility. By our choices in the writing of the Covenant, we decide—with Yahweh—what righteousness looks like in the expression of our individual lives (with key foundational points that are common to all). By the faith that completed the Finished Work, we tap into the sovereignty of Yahweh and ensure the immutability of the Promise in our lives. Yahweh, the Ultimate Sovereign Creator, gave us much power in these three realms.  

The simultaneous nature of these three parts of Infinite-Eternity ensure that:

But oh what is! The finished work
The firmness of Reality
That what is fluid can be sure
All at once what is shall be

Thus that Reality—the original Covenant-writing process, the Finished Work (completion of all), and the process of walking out the Covenant/expression—is both fluid based upon our choices and firm as it is and always will be finished.

Why Creation Isn't Waiting For You to Rule and Reign

There's this idea that creation is waiting for the sons of God to take their places and make the world what it needs to be, this idea that some day out there Yahweh will come back and take us to Heaven and reign from His Throne. Once we remember sovereignty and that we are One with Yahweh, we realize that we are the ones sitting on this throne with Yahweh. We also need to remember that time and eternity are One. Time is the instrument of Our growth, and We actually use it to grow eternity. Once we realize these two things, we can see that We are sovereign in our own lives and ruling and reigning from this throne right now. The instrument of Our dominion is Our choices. This is what Paul talked about in 1 Corinthians 3 where he talks about how we each choose what materials to build our lives with. Some choose jewels, some choose clay. I, as the sovereign in my own life, get to decide what materials to build my life with. However, I cannot judge another's life. As each of u...

Pie

Imagine that all the love, affection, and resources (time, finances, emotional space, etc.) that each of us has is a pie. This pie may be larger or smaller depending on capacity and circumstances in a person’s life. Now, in order to be healthy and satisfied, each person must constantly be consuming an entire pie. But, after eating a single slice of our own pie, the rest of our pie cannot satisfy us or give us any nutritional value. What are we to do? We must give ourselves the first slice of our pie. This is self-love or self-care. That first slice imbues all of the other slices of our pie with nutritional value. But, after we have consumed the first slice of our own pie, the rest of our pie will give us nothing if we eat it ourselves. We must give the other slices of our pie to other people. Still, we must consume a whole pie to be satisfied, so others must give to us as well. In a healthy, functioning society and group, it would look like this: each of us eats our own first slice...

Rocks vs. Sand: Discerning Reality from Illusion

I keep saying that Yahweh is all that there is and that anything that isn't of Him isn't Real. You may well wonder, as I did, why we keep seeing things that aren't Real. Sickness, death, poverty, sadness... none of these are in line with Yahweh's order or character, so why do we perceive them? Some might say that we live in a fallen world, but did not Yahshua finish everything on the cross? (John 19:30). If we are to believe Him that it truly is finished, then we can return to His Reality right now. We do not have to wait until we die to go to Heaven. Indeed, we do not even have to die. (1 Corinthians 15:51, John 8:51, John 3:16, etc.)  If you just looked up those verses and rationalized away that they are talking about not dying after you die and go to Heaven (does that really make sense, though?), ask Holy Spirit to show you His Reality and judge it for yourself. I, personally, cannot now understand why Yahshua would say that anyone who keeps His Word would ne...
