Understanding Power

I’ve constantly heard about this spiritual battle between good and evil, or rather between God and the devil. I’ve heard about evil powers of satan and the righteous power of God. But how is it that there seems to be two separate sources of power when we know God to be Omnipotent? Omnipotent is supposed to literally mean, “all power” or “all powerful”. So, if God is ALL powerful and all power in the universe is in Him, how is it that satan has power as well?

Here is how it was revealed to me.

God’s transfer of omnipotence happened regularly in the garden of Eden.

Everyday, Adam would download the newest software updates from the Internet onto his computer hard drive so that he could carry on his duties at the office. His Boss, who was a great Boss, told Adam he could go to any website and download what he wanted except for one website, badfruit.com. The Boss knew badfruit.com was full of malicious software containing viruses which would only cause breaches in communication and the ultimate crash of Adam’s hard drive. Adam knew he shouldn’t go to the website so he didn’t. He relayed the message to Eve, his co-worker and friend.

However, one day, Eve was surfing the Internet [she was probably slacking off at work] and she got a pop up on her screen that read, “Be Wise in Your Own Eyes! Click here to visit website.” So she clicks on the ad and she realizes its badfruit.com. Just when she is about to leave the website, she gets another pop up that says, “But Wait! Download our software now and receive FREE Anti-Virus software. Your computer will never crash again!” Well, I guess Eve didn’t realize she didn’t need antivirus software, but since she heard FREE…why not?, I mean, who could pass up free anti virus software that you don’t really need? At this point that Eve downloaded the software onto her hard drive. In fact, she told Adam about badfruit.com and he downloaded the same software as well. I’m not sure why Adam downloaded the software even though he knew the Boss told him not to-Personally, I think Adam had a thing for Eve.

It was at this point that there was a breech in the Omnipotent power stream from God. Apparently, Adam and Eve downloaded software with a virus attached that left secure ports vulnerable allowing the devil to intercept the flow of God’s power through these ports. By intercepting the data at the port, the devil could manipulate it and then re-route it to Adam and Eve’s hard drive. However, this new data was malicious. It was corrupt. And, it eventually led to the crash of their hard drives.

Oh, but it gets worse. Because of Adam and Eve’s sin, we all have the same virus. [I know, but it’s too late guys, they’re both already dead]This malicious ‘virus’ is what led to the “perverted knowledge” that exists in the world today. For example, psychics, astrologers and all the like, have podcast subscriptions to this perverted data and made a business out of it! They download the latest podcast from badfruit.com everytime they do a reading and then they charge you for it. This is why they can only tell you some things, some of the time-their podcasts aren’t in a continuous stream; more like a here and there kinda thing. And even though the data might seem accurate to a certain extent, you have just downloaded another virus because you can’t transfer infected data to another computer hard drive with out infecting the hard drive where the data is going to. You are now loyal to this manipulated data instead of the Truth from the originator.

Do you know why you don’t know your purpose in life?

Do you know why you can’t seem to progress?

I’ll tell you why. You’ve got too many viruses! Get rid of them!

When Jesus died and rose again, He created a new website for us, called eternalfruit.com. From this website, we can actually download the truest anti-virus software that removes any viruses we have and gives us access to the very same software on Jesus’ hard drive and our updates come directly from Him! No more intercepted data, no more breeched ports, no more lies filtered in with truth-nothing but the Truth directly from the Omnipotent One Himself, God our father.

If you’ve never downloaded the mind of Christ, I’m telling you, you are living a lie. But don’t take my word for it, hear it from Jesus Himself.

Interesting assessment. I like the correlation to corporate office relationships. If I may add, Adam and Eve got a stern speaking to in the CEO's office and were given an immediate reprimand for their actions. God instituted a new firewall to protect the dream job, revealed Satan as the in-house auditor and labeled the employee handbook "The Holy Bible".

God then implemented a teams called "management" and instead of granting all perks before the work was done, required that work must be done before any perks, raises or resources showed up.

To iniquity to injury, God then said "Adam, since there was no manual, here is the basic gist of life: you've got the responsibility and authority on earth, and Eve's got the influence to change your mind. I'll be with you, but keep minutes on your mobile. Now, go till that soil."

Nice addition Mr. Wong. Applied a few of your concepts to my newest blog, "Speaking With Power."

Always interesting to read your comments. Thanks again.
