In this quote C. S. Lewis speaks to the reality of the supernatural:

For me the Christian doctrines which are “metaphorical” - or which have become metaphorical with the increase of abstract thought - mean something which is just as “supernatural” or shocking after we have removed the ancient imagery as it was before. They mean that in addition to the physical or psycho-physical universe known to the sciences, there exists an uncreated and unconditioned reality which causes the universe to be; that this reality has a positive structure or constitution which is usefully, though doubtless not completely, described in the doctrine of the Trinity; and that this reality, at a definite point in time, entered the universe we know by becoming one of its own creatures and there produced effects on the historical level which the normal workings of the natural universe do not produce; and that this has brought about a change in our relations to the unconditioned reality.

The resurrected Jesus Christ sent as He promised the Holy Spirit to indwell believers in repentance, bringing “a change in our relations to the unconditioned reality,” to the Holy Spirit, to God the Father, by His grace through Jesus Christ.

This quote from C. S. Lewis’ book, Miracles, speaks to the unity of Jesus Christ, the Son, the Word, to the Father God:

The title “Son” may sound “primitive” or “naif.” But already in the New Testament this “Son” is identified with the Discourse or Reasons or Word which was eternally “with God” and yet also was God. (John 1:1) He is the all-pervasive principle of concretion or cohesion whereby the universe holds together. (Col 1:17) All things, and specifically LIfe, arose within Him, (John 1:4) and within Him all things will reach their conclusion - the final statement of what they have been trying to express. (Eph 1:10)

Human minds, then, are not the only supernatural entities that exist. They do not come from nowhere. Each has come into Nature from Supernature; each has its tap-root in an eternal, self-existent, rational Being, whom we call God. Each is an offshoot, or spearhead, or incursion of that Supernatural reality into Nature. (C. S. Lewis, Miracles)

If Naturalism is true, every finite thing or event must be (in principle) explicable in terms of the Total System. . . . But if Naturalism is to be accepted we have a right to demand that every single thing should be such that we see, in general, how it could be explained in terms of the Total System. If any one thing exists which is of such a kind that we see in advance the impossibility of ever giving it that kind of explanation, then Naturalism would be in ruins. (C. S. Lewis, Miracles)

I will be sharing a number of selections taken from C. S. Lewis’ book, Miracles: How God Intervenes in Nature and human Affairs, on my blog site. Each that is included gives substantiation to interaction between the Holy Spirit and the human spirit, soul and body/brain. Though Lewis died before the most current findings of neuroscience that I cite in my two books, his comments are prescient for what we are now beginning to understand about this interaction.

. . . we do not know in advance that God might not bring two Natures into partial contact at some particular point: that is, He might allow selected events in the one to produce results in the other. There would thus be, at certain points, a partial interlocking; but this would not turn the two Natures into one, for the total reciprocity which makes a Nature would still be lacking, and the anomalous interlockings would arise not from what either system was in itself but from the Divine act which was bringing them together.

In The Final Battle Hal Lindsey shares from the Book of Revelation, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me,” Jesus tells us in Revelation 3:20. The door symbolizes your will. If you right now invite the Lord Jesus into your life and receive His gift of pardon, He will come into you to stay. He will begin to give you new desires that are according to His will. Through His presence in you, He will give you the power to do these new desires as you moment by moment depend upon Him. He also promises, “ . . . For I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5) These words from Jesus and by Hal Lindsey give eternal hope in these End Times through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

In his book, Hal Lindsey states, The Bible says that every believer is an ambassador for Christ, “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him [bold type added] we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20-21) As I have pointed out in a previous blog the indwelling Holy Spirit works with the believer to bring about sanctification, or righteousness.

“The West,” explained Alexander Solzhenitsyn, “has been undergoing an erosion and obscuring of high moral and ethical ideals. The spiritual axis of life has grown dim. (H. Lindsey, The Final Battle)

First, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: America has been inviting judgment on itself for a long time. Most of the world has, for that matter. But the United States of America, founded as one nation under God, has truly betrayed its heritage in many ways. We have become a nihilistic, hedonistic, self-centered, humanistic nation. The Lord has blessed this nation so greatly, and because of those blessings, we have a profound responsibility. If we continue to push God out of our public life, He is going to withdraw His blessings. (H. Lindsey, The Final Battle)

I will be posting a series of blogs taken from the content of a book by Hal Lindsey, The Final Battle, in which he discusses elements of the biblical End Times prophecies. He teamed up with Joseph de Courcy, a respected intelligence analyst, so that the book is based on Scripture and his colleague’s secular evaluations of global history and the future days to come. We see that we are in these times now, watching biblical prophecies fulfilled before our eyes. Lindsey looks into the future and sees it as a disturbing and terrifying time, but it is also encouraging to those who accept the reality of the living Holy Spirit in repentance, sent as promised by the resurrected and glorified Jesus Christ, to restore direct communion between the Holy Spirit and the human spirit and soul. The Rapture, tribulation and millennium are discussed based on Scripture, and he acknowledges that there are varying interpretations given to these topics by theological scholars. The reader is able to discern the central theme through these events that gives Hope for eternal life in the presence of Jesus Christ in the New Creation and Age to come.
