ENCOURAGEMENT

Oil - by Dean Chicquette

5/20/2020

Comments

 
From Major Ian Thomas's teachings.

God to a man is as unconditionally necessary as oil is to a​n oil​ lamp.​ ​Without oil in the lamp, we have an oil lamp​,​ but it won’t function as ​a lamp. Likewise, if you detach a human from God, you will still ​have ​a human​ form,​ but it won’t function as ​a human.

The only thing needed for ​an oil lamp to function as a​n oil​ lamp is ​to put ​oil in it. Then too, the only thing left for a human to act like a human is to put God within it.​ ​Oil in the lamp doesn't ask the lamp to try harder. Likewise, God​, back in a human​,​ isn’t so that humans might try harder. 

Oil is only in the lamp so the oil can be oil, functionally. And God put back into a human is so God can be God, functionally.​ ​In other words, the spiritual new birth is designed to let God ​so function ​through a human that everybody recognizes that God is home. 


Now God is in business, God Himself in the human, being.
