The Alteration of Natural Order
The law of nature stands as an eternal rule to all men, binding upon legislatures as well as others.
The fundamental law of nature is the preservation of mankind, no human sanction can be valid or good against it. ...men would not quit the freedom of a state of nature, and tie themselves up under a government, where it not to preserve their lives, liberty, and fortunes, by stated rules of right and property.

God created a wonderful world. He created it with an amazing order. Things happen for a reason, and there is a cause and effect relationship for everything that occurs in the world and in our human lives.
Though we may not know specific causes in every instance, we can discern certain laws of nature.
They help us to understand how the physical world works, and to use those laws of nature to build a better life, to provide more food, higher-quality shelter, improved transportation, and so on.
Human society is also subject to a certain amazing order. While human relations and events are not strictly predictable in the same sense that the trajectory of a flying object is predictable, they are subject to some simple laws which have not changed throughout human history.
If that was not so, chaos would continually reign, planning would be futile, and society would not exist. Rather than chaos, however, there is a fairly high level of predictability in our daily lives.
The future is truly unknowable, but there is normally a certain regularity we can count on around which to build our lives.

While we have been provided with a beautiful place for our existence here on Earth with abundant provisions for our needs and pleasures, this can all seem to be overshadowed if we fail to understand His desire for us to remain free with liberty.
But who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer that forgets but a doer that acts, he shall be blessed in his doing. James 1:25
Be not ye the servants of men.” I Corinthians 7:23
Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty with which Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1
While such directives sound simple enough to do, remaining free with the liberty that our Creator has provided, and not being servants of, or in bondage to men or corporations, is not such an easy task these days.
If another can demand payment or anything of value from you, or claim to have the power to lock you behind bars thereby taking away your liberty, then you might wonder how did this occur? Perhaps it is the result of the implementation of an unnatural order of things. If we do not understand the natural order of things, then how can we know when the natural order is altered to establish an unnatural order?
From the Bible, in Genesis, we see that God created man, and man has dominion over the other creatures of Creation. Earlier in the history of this planet, the family or blood relations was the normal situation where numerous people lived in the same general area.
As man moved out of the family domain, there remained the desire to live peacefully in the vicinity with other men and women, and this brought about villages, communities, towns, and states. Since there would arise common functions that might prove beneficial to the people of the area, a committee of representatives of the area could come together for limited helpful purposes.
In time, the concept of a state-developed with a corresponding government. While it was known that such a government was limited in its scope of activity, it was soon understood there are some upon this planet who seek to control as much of it for themselves as possible.
This may be done overtly or covertly; therefore, a constitution for a government limiting its authority was deemed to be the expedient method of restraint. The natural order of things follows the flow of God in creating man – man creates a state with a constitution, which establishes a limited government with only delegated authority. Historically speaking, it is when a government begins acting as though it has inherent sovereign powers that we find the natural order converted to an unnatural order of things.

The natural order relies on the people remaining in control of their creatures, and not allowing a presumption of state or government supremacy over the people.
Both the first president of the United States and Ghana have clearly advocated on the reason to run a free state. George Washington, in his Farewell Address, warned the American people of situations that may arise by design to usurp the control of the government to the detriment of the people.
In one such instance, he describes "a small but artful and enterprising minority" that may organize "an artificial and extraordinary force” Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, on the declaration of independence stated that "OUR INDEPENDENCE IS MEANINGLESS UNLESS IT IS LINKED UP WITH THE TOTAL LIBERATION OF AFRICA" to mean that these delegates of state conventions are considering the state inferior contrivances with the virtue that individual should consider the state a subordinate of the people.

In the science of politics, there has been a strong current against the natural order of things; and an inconsiderate or an interested disposition to sacrifice the end to the means... Even in almost every nation, which has been denominated free, the state has assumed a supercilious pre-eminence above the people who have formed it yet individuals are blind enough to see cancer in the disposition to run a free market the system with reasons of an uncontrollable state which is likely to be maimed by crime and disorder
The concept of an unnatural order springs times of chaos or war when people might seek refuge and protection in walled cities.
In this situation, the visitors were foreign to the people of the city and the authority of the city from which they asked protection.
For this benefit of protection, the visitors might be required to compensate the City in the form of a tax, and to obey the man-made rules of conduct prescribed for them while in the City. Here the visitors might have their freedom and liberty diminished.
Outside the City, they functioned according to the laws of nature. Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbour has fulfilled the law
