A Touch can Change Everything!

I've been thinking over the past few weeks about how a simple touch from the Lord can completely change your life.  From a seed planted in fertile soil, we spun into existence by the command of our creator in the universe of our mothers womb. Before the first follicle of hair breached our skin, His plan came to pass leaving a cowlick in the back of our head.  Free will was birthed as the spinning seed began the development of our thinking. Soon after our tiny hand pressed into our mother's womb creasing and creating our divine fingerprint.  This is a work of art that has never been and never will be duplicated producing evidence of our uniqueness.  By design, we're unable to choose our race, geographical location, family dynamic, economical status, traits, genes or talents.  That's the proverbial hand that we're dealt.  On the contrary, we all have the opportunity of adoption from the Most High if we simply choose to accept the free gift in Christ.

Babies aren't born racist with political affiliations, ulterior motives or hidden agendas as they're unaware of their nakedness.  Much like Adam and Eve in the garden, it wasn't until the serpent enlightened them with the pathway to good and evil knowledge that they lost their intentional eternity with the Lord.  Many of the filters, lenses and labels we place on people have all been by design or default.  Adam and Eve were covered with fig leaves to remove their shame of being naked when God asked, "Who told you that you were naked?"  That's a great question..... Who taught you to think that way that you think?  What are we teaching our kids by our words, actions or examples concerning discipleship?  Do we realize that our greatest disciples are sitting at our tables?  Furthermore, WHY has the Lord put us on this earth for such a time as this?  Let's dive into this a little deeper.

If a touch from God can change everything and the Holy Spirit is a fire that burns the dross from within us to make us the true living sacrifice, how impactful is our touch?  If numerous people touch something, won't the most recent fingerprint override the ones that came before?  More over, If people have spoke their opinions over your life, am I incorrect by saying, what God has to say about you supersedes them all?   Has your fingerprint been used to identify the evidence of your presence?  If we are all made in the image of the Almighty does He leave evidence when He touches something or someone?  That's a good thought but how could we actually compare our touch with a touch from the Father?

This lesson of Man School will be focused on touch and how a man evolves in significance with his touch.  Children for example can develop a textile learning behavior trait which means they learn better from touching things.  Later in life there should be a maturation transition in the child's thinking concerning the responsibility and impact of their touch.  You can easily see the discipline a man has received or has not received in his life based on the way that he touches things.  This information is very important and can actually save your life.  Let's look at a few examples of how you can unintentionally disrespect someone with your touch.

1.  Imagine walking through a parking lot and touching all of your favorite cars.  Just a careless stroll through parked vehicles while you casually brush up against them leaving a scratch or mark.  Be very careful touching things that do not belong to you, this action could potentially get you killed.  Please understand that there may be a little grace for a child but a man will endure consequences outside the rule of law.  This message should be common sense but "learning the hard way" is not advised on this issue.

2.  Did you know that underground caverns have stalactites and stalagmites growing inside of them?  One touch of the oily human hand can prevent them from growing due to
Walk though the house and touch the walls, TV screens, windows, mirrors and whatever else you can get your hands on.  Since you're already touching everything with your grimmy, greasy and oily hands, leave a mark that will last forever.

3.  Putting your hands on someone in the wrong way can have devastating consequences.  Push someone out of the way, shake them to wake up or put your hand in their face.  If you don't discipline yourself, the world will discipline you, that's a fact! Experts say that relationships between a man and woman are healthier when you have at least 10 non-sexual touches a day.

4.  Being heavy handed rather than displaying gentleness when situations call for it.  Slamming doors, drumming tables and walls.  It's common to hear someone say that money is the rout of all evil.  I personally do not believe that to be true.  Money is a tool much like a hammer.  It can be used to build a great house or can also be used as a weapon to destroy someone.
