20Sep09 Ephesians One
Last week we began this study entitled:
Spiritual Relativity: the purpose of life.
Our life has meaning only as it is relative to the purpose of God.
I used the idea that Einstein’s theory of relativity E=MC2 which helped the world discover nuclear power is an analogy that if we could unlock God’s purpose for our life we might discover an equally life changing power.
And so I am excited to unveil my equation for Spiritual Relativity.
P=HKC Purpose = His Kingdom Come
In every situation of our life our Purpose is to choose the action or attitude that demonstrates His Kingdom Come into our lives…
The Purpose of God and the purpose of life is to make what is a reality in the Eternal World a reality in the Earthly World.
Last week we talked about The Principles of Spiritual Relativity.
Principle #1 We live in a multi-dimensional world.
We concluded that the great conflict in which we all live is the struggle between the human purpose to make everything about us and the purpose of God which is to unite all things in him.
The conflict is between what we see in our mind and what God sees in His.
It occurred to me this week that there is in most people a great struggle between several versions of us that exist in our own mind and the version of us that exists in God’s mind.
There are so many versions of us… for example…
In our relationships
…husband…Dad…preacher…friend…
In our self awareness…
The version of us with all the dysfunctions created by our past wounds that we don’t want anyone to see…
The version we want to be and want others to see.
But the version I need to focus on is the version that God sees me as!
Which brings me to :
Principle #2 The way we exist in the mind of God.
This is the application of the equation
P=HKC [Purpose = His Kingdom Come]
In these verses Paul describes our existence in the mind of God…
READ VERSES 1-10
“In the heavenly places” means that there is a version of us that exists in the mind of God.
“In the heavenly places” we are God’s intentionally created object of His affection.
Instead of unwanted I am chosen
“In the heavenly places” we are holy and blameless.
Instead of wounded and disgusting I am holy
“In the heavenly places” we are predestined to be adopted…
Instead of alone and unwanted and aborted…I am adopted!
“In the Heavenly places” we are lavished with His grace to make up for all of our wounds and wickedness.
Instead of being eternally separated from God…nothing can separate me from the Love of God in Christ Jesus!
From eternity past God has had us in His mind and how He was going to love us and what he was going to do for us and what He wanted to accomplish in our lives and that is His purpose.
That is the power of Spiritual Relativity - P=HKC
The Ultimate question is have you by faith embraced the version that exists in the Heavenly places?
Do you know Jesus Christ as your Savior, Redeemer and Lord?
Which version of you is dominant in your life?
Are you ready to make it the purpose of your life to bring to earth what exists in the heavenly places?
Then get alone with God right now and invite Him to make real in your life the Purpose of His Kingdom Coming into your life!

Einstein was right about the shortcomings of Quantum Mechanics and so therefore String Theory is also the incorrect approach. As an alternative to Quantum Theory there is a new theory that describes and explains the mysteries of physical reality.
While not disrespecting the value of Quantum Mechanics as a tool to explain the role of quanta in our universe. This theory states that there is also a classical explanation for the paradoxes such as EPR and the Wave-Particle Duality. The Theory is called the Theory of Super Relativity and is located at:

This theory is a philosophical attempt to reconnect the physical universe to realism and deterministic concepts. It explains the mysterious.
