What is ‘Normal’?

October 26, 2020 by 
 

These days, many of us long to “go back to normal”. But in spiritual terms, the condition of our lives isn’t – and never was – normal at all.

This realisation came for me when I started thinking about God the Father, his Being, his Nature and his existence before the Universe (not an easy task!!).

However, one positive result of thinking about God, and Heaven was this: before mankind existed, and before things went lopsided with the fall of Lucifer, there was a state of PERFECTION. Perfect love, unity, order, direction, understanding – perfect everything. And THAT my friends is NORMALITY.

Heaven is the Only Normal

Heaven sets the baseline for what is (or used to be/should be) our intended normal.

What we experience day by day isn’t normality, by any stretch of the imagination. We are familiar with this earth and all its limitations, think of that as normality, so we tend to think of Heaven as something beyond that, greater than, or additional to our earthy normality.

It’s not really like that at all! It is WE who have crossed over the line into ABNORMAL living! This life isn’t as God intended at all.

It’s a bit like being a fish out of water – fishes are intended to live in water although some can exist outside it for a while, but it’s not in its natural habitat at all, until it finds the sea or a pond.

Raise a wild animal in a home or a zoo and it knows nothing else. It has base instincts but they are thwarted by its unnatural environment, and getting it back to the wild take a certain amount of re-training and encouragement.

So we are creatures created by God to be perfect, living in a perfect environment, and then Satan tricked us into accepting less, much less. Now we can hardly even remember our home or the way we were intended to be.
