The Cosmic Criminal

We become cosmic criminals when we sin against the empowering power of grace, limiting God. Grace can be defined as the divine influence of God upon our hearts. As it flows, we are then able to tap into God's limitless (cosmic) powers and we become unstoppable; that is, until God's grace is disrupted. Then, it becomes a case: a legal process that must be litigated by scripture. And, because cosmic crimes carry cosmic ramifications, they affect our divine destiny. That is, they inhibit our ability to access the grace needed to crucify fleshly wisdom. We are thus confined to the natural, sight realm--where we lean to our own understanding.

In this book, you will find seven processes that keep us in the grace of God. Each process shows a unique facet of God's grace that is available and how certain influences hinder its flow.

More importantly, you will see that when grace is received, destruction is averted. However, when it is not received, devastation is inevitable.

You will also find, throughout this book, select scriptures that I refer to as: God's Alerts. These are scriptures that depict a directive from the Lord: an instruction telling us what, why, and how a particular virtue is to be performed. These scriptures are designed to keep us on course.



What: refers to the wisdom of the scripture. Why: gives us its understanding How: is the knowledge; it tells us how the scripture is to be applied.



Each alert ends with a commentary on the thoughts and intents of God's heart that can be seen when wisdom, understanding, and knowledge function as a whole.
