“And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.” God starts from the top, down, not from the bottom, up. Everything originates with God, and trickles down to us.
For example, we begin with the local church, move on to the Body of Christ, from there to God’s Kingdom, and finally to God Himself. Using this method, most never get past the first or second thing. A few advance to the third, but hardly any ever reach God, the reason being that they stop short, and spend a lifetime enjoying and emphasizing one, or possibly two, of these particular entities.
The mistake lies in the fact that they do not start from God and work down. All these things come out of God. We start at a tributary and never seem to be able to work our way back to the mouth of the river. What we need to do is start with the Origin, and then follows the flow downstream. This, I believe, is common sense. Anything else, to me, is nonsense.
God doesn’t work to the source; He is the Source.
