An Administration Suitable to The Summing Up of all things

First published on Facebook
How as we move into the third Level way of Living literally everything we do now in Politics,Education,Business,Religion will just take on a whole different wineskin.
But more also on the mechanics behind Romans chapters 3-8.
How some grace preaching is stopping short

Is such an administration going to be a reflection of how a rightly functioning brain operates or how genuine Spirit-filled meetings operate?

i have written about the seeming insanity of a two party political system that lurches from the right to the left every 4 years. Or does this simply mirror the way we shift balance when we walk forwards.

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil affects our entire walk. Our education. Our politics. Our business corporations. Sadly our churches.

Let's focus on Offsted. Christine and i have a friend who works as an Offsted inspector. Perhaps more with nurseries. Perhaps the reason Offsted does not work is the reason we don't work as people.

Offsted is Labour's sincere and honest response to inequalities in education up and down our land. If we could standardise the levels of teaching everywhere, then we can ensure that minimum standards of reading writing maths and comprehension can be attained so that later on children can be suitably employable or able to train further in higher education.

As a basic measuring tool it is very similar to the Law. Standards that are measurably kept or not kept.
The part of our thinking that this measuring tool and the law relates to is our step by step reasoning tool.
If we are failing, then measurable steps can be introduced that redress the balance. And, actually, this is much the way we correct any activity and in itself is quite neutral. Neither a good thing or a bad thing in itself. Just a tool.

The Law it says in Romans drives us
to discover our own inadequacies. If the measuring stick wasn't there, we'd never know. The same with Offsted.

But here is the problem with Offsted. And here is the problem with the Law in Labour's government. And the law in the Christian's life.

Schools spend so long and so much energy ensuring the many, but still limited criteria that are measured in the test are complied with, that as a result the school's main function of producing a well-rounded functioning set of individuals can be impaired.The admin takes priority over the job in hand.

This is a problem throughout any Tory or Labour administration. It is a problem in Christian life.It is a problem in our lives together.

Now in the Christian life around Romans 3-5 there is a fundamental disconnect at this point. Perhaps there needs to be something similar in Offsted. The Bible revelation effectively says OK Reasoning, you have correctly assessed that your behaviour before and after becoming a Christian is not meeting the standards...so what we are now going to do is switch you on standby with a particular phrase....
YOU HAVE DIED TO THE LAW. In other words your ability as a measuring stick to actually of yourself produce any change is called into question and in fact firmly judged...SO SHUT UP!

It's here that another device is switched on. This is the internal capacity to Hear the Word of the Lord and Believe it into existence, for which there is a certain amount of lead time that the Reasoning part of us is very unhappy about. Now whether this bit resides in our right brain, our insides, or wherever...it is a spiritual capacity that we were all born with that got switched off in the Fall, about the time that we, as it says in Proverbs 3:5,began to RELY on our own INSIGHT......and not FIRST trust the Lord with all our heart.
So Romans 5 and 6 is all about what is now true of us since the death of Christ, but can only be activated by the apparatus in us that believes things into being. It cannot be activated by our reasoning machine...because that will always feedback real world truth to say "I'm sorry, what you are believing is not here yet." Well thanks a lot Mr reasoning...I could have told you that. It's like looking at a train time table and your brain saying the train isn't in yet. Well, thankyou for being so enlightening Mr Brain, however tomorrow's 3.30 from Waterloo won't be in yet because it's not tomorrow, so SHUTUP please, and let me carry on with my hunt for advance information.

Now Norman Grubb articulated a very interesting additional process that the rest of the Church seems really slow to acknowledge. That having switched on the Faith cooker to full power, and the fan oven of praise which accelerates the cooking procedure, both individually and corporately, Romans 7 switches the reasoning section back on. How strange?

No, not really. The reasoning section needs to be switched on again so we have a measuring stick to tell us whether we have what we ask yet or not. Now at the moment, a lot of grace preaching is in denial about this second switch on. And perhaps, while people are busy switching off their measuring sticks in order to have a fair crack at switching on their faith cookers....particularly blokes...who have a hard time doing two things at once.....perhaps if tha bulk of the church are at this stage, talking about Romans 7 is going to be darned confusing.

So........for you.......pretend we never said anything.....and carry on cooking....or starting to cook....

But for the rest be prepared for a left-brain holocaust as it continually screams "It isn't here yet!".
Thank it kindly, but tell it firmly that your faith is still cooking.

How such a process could be used to improve Offsted, I don't really see yet. But I do note a couple of things.
The Buddhists have the saying "When the pupil is ready, then the teacher will come." Which I have certainly found true in my Christian Life. Jesus said...if any man IS WILLING to do the Will of God....then shal he know whether the My teaching be of God. " Which contains within it a similar parallel.

Secondly. Home schooling. In a small group setting, whether family or extended family...a teacher or parent will find something that their child really wants to learn....NOW....with an inner motivation and drive to propel them forward.

Several public schools operate this way much to the horror of the British traditional learning system.

Coming out of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil has so many ramifications.....I don't think it has hardly hit anyone yet.
