| Thoughts, Words, and Deeds Thoughts, Words, and Deeds When God created Adam He put him over all the earth: over every living thing from the smallest virus to the largest whale. God brought all the animals to Adam to see what he would name them; whatever Adam named them that was their name. I do not know if Adam called an elephant an elephant, a horse a horse, or a cow a cow or not; but I know that there is a very great depth to this passage not immediately apparent. I believe Adam reach inside his being taking out of his own nature a portion for each creature God brought before him to name; therefore man and nature are very intimately related. One animal may have difficulty relating to a different animal; but man should be able to relate to all animals. Man is so intimately related to animals that everything a man thinks, says, or does effects every living thing on the earth and the greatest effect is to those closest to him. When Adam fell all created beings on earth fell with him; not only so but the whole earth fell with him. Shortly after the fall, the sons of God through the line of Seth lived very long lives because they had a very close and intimate relationship with God; but as man’s sins became greater man’s and more numerous man’s lifespan became shorter Man’s sin is what brought on the great flood. Man’s sin brings on earth quakes, floods, tidal waves, tornadoes, hurricanes, and etcetera. Man’s sin brings on cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and every other abnormality that he faces. One evil act toward another person is passed on by the other person to even another person and so on all around the world; by the same token every kind and loving act one does to another person also goes around the world. All thoughts, words, and deeds are cumulative: the more people thinking evil thoughts the more abnormalities and the more people thinking good thoughts the more healing. The more people that think the same thing the greater the effect and the effects affect both the children of God and the children of the devil; but soon God will put a difference between His people and the Egyptians that He might bring judgment on the world. God will bring judgment to the world separating away those who reject Him and bringing all the rest into His Kingdom. All creation was made by God for Himself and He will bring all of it into His Kingdom except that which rebels. He wants His creation doing what He created it to do; though many will be in a lower position than He first chose them for. Everything we do should be with confidence in God. We should never be in a hurry, fidgety, upset, or unruffled. When around other people never do things to gain the advantage over another: zipping in and out of traffic; taking the biggest serving; and etcetera. Wherever you go, go with the idea of spreading love, joy, peace, and whatever will contribute to the happiness an wellbeing of others; always be instant to be a servant to all you meet: a cup of cold water a kind word will go on forever and reap eternal rewards. When I get groceries at a local variety store there is a young lady there who has special needs; but she spreads sunshine into everyone life with greetings, sweet words, and kindness; I expect to see her closer to Jesus than even many Evangelists when we get to heaven; our good works will have a greater effect and reward than we can even imagine right now. Even our thought life has its eternal effects; we can not think a thought for long till it begins to be translated into actions in our lives. Solomon says in the Proverbs, curse not a ruler in your heart for a bird of the air will tell him. If you do not like a certain ruler (boss or foreman), it will be seen in your countenance and actions; you can not keep those things secret for long. What you think, say, and do in your life is more important than the greatest of ministries. The only little people in the Kingdom of God are those who do not cultivate good thoughts, words, and deeds. Good thoughts, words, and deeds also produce great faith; for they all come from the spoken word of God the source of great faith.
