“To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.” Do you remember this formula from the Physics class, the 2nd & 3rd Laws of Newton? I still remember the illustration of two balls colliding and moving in opposite directions, one gaining energy another loosing it. Well, that was physics, who cares about it anyway after the school is over?
In life it’s simply: every action causes reaction. Some people’s lives are all about reacting to other people’s acting. Hindu call it karma – every cause has it’s effect. It all makes sense…in the natural world, or how quantum science labels it – “closed system.”
But, in Christ we are called for supernatural living. The wages of sin is death, yet in Christ our actions are cover by His action and we are spared from deadly reaction. We are not in any closed system, not “in a box,” not limited to the limitations of this world. Welcome to the Liberty in Christ!
Here we are talking about paradigm shift, about changing our thinking, about allowing God to transform our mind and to tune our spirit to His Spirit.
By now you should be asking: “How?” How is that possible?
Have you ever wonder about that promise in Romans 8:28 “all things work for good for those who love God”? Does God really mean it? What about mistakes we made, is He able to turn them into some good? You know the answer!!! You Betcha! You’ve been there, made tons of mistake, and know that God does not follow laws of physics, laws of gravity, laws of limitations. He laughed at death as His Son walked out Sunday morning from the Grave! And He is able to make you able too!
A fascinating example of this principle is fighting: boxing vs. jujitsu. First is all about taking punches and giving punches back while managing to stand. Another is all about using and steering the energy of the opponent to guide wherever you need it to go.

Let me give you a few examples of opposing forces that exist in the church:
- Pastor vs. Church Leadership
- Motivation vs. Few Defeatists
- New Enthusiasm vs. Tradition
- Project fundraising vs. Budgetary allocation.
