The purpose of this brief document is
to illustrate how God - in the Person of the Holy Spirit - works
through His human
children in harmony with our free will.
DETAILS
For quite some time we have wanted to better express how God
works through His human creatures. miguel de Portugal has had a very
clear mental
picture of it for quite some time yet, he could not express/describe it
properly. Now we have found a picture through which, symbolically, we
may be
able to transmit the information.
As you may see in this image.......
......there is an enclosed/isolating box with fitted gloves. This type
of equipment is used in laboratories where the technician needs to
handle the contents of the box without directly touching it nor
becoming in direct contact with the enclosed environment.
In the laboratory, the purpose of this type of box is, for the
technician, to avoid: (a) contaminating himself with whatever he is
handling; or (b) contaminating any of the contents of the isolation
box.
The technician introduces his hands inside the gloves, which are fitted
to the isolating box, and then he can work with whatever is
inside the box without direct contact, yet, yielding the desired
results.
Now, imagine that Creation is the inside of the box, we are the gloves
and God is the laboratory technician.
If those we are as pliable as the gloves in the laboratory
equipment and allow ourselves to be used by God, He can work marvels in
Creation without breaking His own rule, that is, without
direct
contact/intervention. He is working the marvels through us.
The more pliable we are, the more good God can
accomplish in His Creation.... through man. When we offer
resistance to be used, as if we were gloves with a non collaborating
will, there is very little God can do through us.
Now, Jesus said:
Amen,
amen I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do; and greater than
these shall he do. Because I go to the Father [John
14:12]
That is, the more we truly believe in Him and His Word, the more
pliable we are to His Will, thus the greater
will be our abandonment to the Will of God and the more He can
accomplish through us in
harmony with our free will.
Jesus also said:
If
you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you
will, and it shall be done unto you. [John 15:7]
Such abiding condition will make it easier for Him (symbolized by the
lab
technician) to grant whatever we request while, at the same time,
correcting what godless man has done to His Creation as He
easily works through us (symbolized by the very pliable gloves) in
harmony with our free will.
Why will we do "greater works that these" - that is, greater than
the ones that He had performed
then? Primarily because He has gone to the Father Who is greater than
He is. Once He is with the Father, the Redemption cycle has been
completed and the power that the invocation of the Holy Name of Jesus
wields is now greater than when He walked amongst men.
That is why He also said:
...whatsoever
you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father
may be glorified in the Son. [John 14:13]
Once again, the choice is ours. To what degree are we willing to allow
God to work through us? The more we allow Him, the more He will be able
to accomplish through us in His Creation, thus the better we will be
able to serve Him... and for our own benefit.
