Some days I wish to cry. Like today. I have an overwhelming urge to leap into depression. I have no energy to do anything. Yet in all of it, I hear God speak. In the previous post, I wrote about salvation. He gave me a title to something. I don’t know if it’s another writing or a message for a group of people I am to speak to. The title is “The Mechanics of Salvation”. I told this to my wife and she said it sounded somewhat sterile. I said that I agreed, but perhaps not totally.

I tried to research the consensus of salvation, but I keep getting actions that occur during salvation, but not the “how” of what causes the actions. If you are an auto mechanic you can understand that when you actuate the starter by applying an electrical supply you will get an action that rotates the engine while the electrical system supplies spark inside the combustion chamber. The explosion sends the piston downward converting up and down motion into a rotational motion with the crankshaft. The turning of the crankshaft rotates to the wheels on the ground giving the vehicle forward motion.

What I’m after is the “spark” that makes all the actions following it happen. The spark is the only part that doesn’t have a body like the parts of the engine. It comes and goes.

It’s God. That spark, I mean. The engine can and will lay dormant until that spark is applied. I want God. I want that spark. I want to know what, where, and how that spark initiates the life of the believer. Man, being a tri-part being, has one part being dormant in his fallen state. Man can go nowhere in life without that spark. Man can only follow the leading of a fallen soul through the body. It is without purpose. The purpose lies within the spark. God.

When God is applied to the dormant spirit of man it resurrects the third part of man. This reconnects the man to God in what is termed in Christendom as fellowship. Fellowship starts the engine of man. I’ve been told that God cannot lead a person unless they are moving, so this spark starts the man. He starts moving and God leads the way.
