God's Plan.

Perhaps we should have a peep into God's plan. We don't want to be misled or caught in a web of deception as to what the real deal is. What is happening? Why are we here?....Well, God's big plan is the reason creation still runs. What God is doing here is what really really matters.

*"Those He foreknew, them He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, THAT HE MIGHT BE THE FIRST AMONG MANY BRETHREN.."* Romans 8:29

God wants a family where His Son is the first born and where He (His Son) has many brothers. This is the inspiration behind creation; the very history of the Heavens and the Earth. It was all a quest for Family expansion.

God had a Son who looked like Him so much. This Son captured His personality totally - " _....the express image of His person.."_ Heb 1:3. He was also the _brightness of His glory,_ according to the same scripture. He was the validation of His Fatherhood. God's heart melted and His breasts milked. From then on, He entered into a craving for Sons; the kind that look like His first Son. And God chose His Son's image as the trademark because of how perfectly it already captured His own.

Then, for God to have His Fatherhood further validated, His Son must become the first born, and not the only-born. And to achieve that, His Son needs to have brothers. Still, they must look like Him; exactly like Him. This, friend, is the project God is managing. This is the real thing going on in creation.

This is why it is powerful to allow God work in me to conform me to the image of His Son. I thereby enhance the Divine Dream. " _...that He might be the firstborn among many brethren._ "

God's work is all that He has been doing since Adam to realize this plan. The Bible simply traces the progression of this plan and records those who contributed to it for about 4000 years; those who plugged into God's purpose. ".. _.the called according to His purpose."_ History traces the rest of it. Every man and generation of men has been assigned a quota to contribute to this project.

My truest relevance is where I come into this picture. It is where i fit into this whole architecture.
Acts 13:36.

Happy New Month!

Conscious and Guidance

John Hagee  00:00 John Hagee - Conscious and Guidance.mp3 Download  Audio  |  Video What is Conscience? Conscience is a God-given instrument so that we can determine right from wrong in a spiritual matter. Conscience is the lamp of God, saying, this is the way: walk in it. Conscience doesn't say, well, I need 4.000 people saying, "This is the way". You only need the Word of God to lead you, to say, "This is the way". Conscience is the compass of the soul. Conscience is God's umpire that's in your heart. And when you violate the law of God, your conscience hounds you. It will turn your posturepedic bed into a bed of hot coals. Your conscience will do that. A quiet conscience can sleep in thunder. A clear conscience is like a mighty fortress in the day of battle. What made Adam and Eve hide from God in the garden? Conscience. They knew he said don't eat this forbidden fruit. They did it, and they ran, a
