God’s Plan included a splendiferous Earth as a baby room for infant humans, the ideal place to learn to grow up.
Indeed, God gave humanity their marching orders to increase the population via family socialization and rulership over the planetary resources to benefit all its inhabitants.
This socialization and rulership is training to become Kings, Queens, and Priests and rule on Earth.
(Transform Your Mind, Upgrade Your Life. Chapter 4)
I want the God-Intended meaning of Scripture
There are two ways to rule:
- God’s plan and way is established in His Word, the Bible.
- Anti-God’s plan and way, i.e., all other ways, meaning according to the imagination of the human heart.
Humans are made in the image of God, Who is a Family and Ruler of the Universe. His ultimate goal in training humans as sons and daughters is for them to join Him and become integrated members of His Ruling Family.
Christ Prepared to be The Leader of Socialization and Rulership
Jesus Christ followed this schema of God’s Plan. He came to Earth engendered by the Holy Spirit as the Son of God and the son of man via Mary, grew up learning socialization with His father, brothers, and sisters, and learning rulership/management via His building profession of carpentry. All this was prior to His unique Ministry of 3 ½ years, followed by His Crucifixion and Resurrection.
That preparation led to the Son of God, Christ, sitting on His Father’s right hand
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God [the Father]:
Yes, the Father has given His Son Rulership over humanity and Earth to prepare His brothers and sisters (all of humanity) to join Him as Kings, Queens, and Priests, to rule Earth with Him on His Return.
27 For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued to him, then shall the Son also himself be subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Hebrews 2: 17-18
17 Wherefore in all things it behooed him [Christ] to be made like his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Christ alone is qualified and prepared to Transform Humans into Leaders to Socialize and Rule. The question is, how do you give everyone an equal opportunity to qualify? If you were an All-Powerful God trying to increase your family with the best possible sons and daughters, how would you go about it? Christ knows the way, the best way. We are going to elaborate on God’s Plan to transform humans into Kings, Queens, and Priests who rule on Earth to bring real, everlasting peace to this planet.
The Original Mind Transformation into Opposition of God’s Plan
Let’s go back about 6000 years… In the beginning, God created Earth (Chapter 2 of Transform Your Mind, Upgrade Your Life) and placed the created couple (Chap. 1) on it to grow their family and care for their homestead (Chap. 3). This was their training ground to learn to develop relationships and manage their belongings.
This family-oriented God wanted the couple close to Him so He could instruct and cherish them. He built a unique home headquarters, the protected Garden of Eden, in which He placed them. Adam and Eve could cook and eat anything their eyes and stomachs craved except one tree.
Guess what? They were drawn to it, and after a convincing conversation with a stranger, they ate the forbidden fruit. This flip-flopped their reasoning capacity and minds forever; instead of incorporating God’s instructions, they wanted to follow their thoughts. This is corroborated in Romans.
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
God decided to let them follow their heart – or, in modern language, follow their inner voice or follow their intuition.
We must pause right here and now and deeply grasp what happened with what led up to and followed the eating of the forbidden fruit. Adam and Eve rejected God (glorified Him not) and gave priority credence to their vain imaginations, resulting in a darkened, obscure, confused heart.
This reversal of reasoning is a crucial turning point in history. From this point onward, humans became jumbled in their thinking, introducing all sorts of ideas from voices they hear in their heads to dreams and, in particular, their overflowing imaginations and intuition.
Do Not Follow Your Heart, Inner Wisdom, Intuition, Voices, or the like.
Here’s the first and probably the most critical lesson in this book. Do not follow anything or anyone that promotes looking into your heart for inner wisdom, intuition, voices, or the like. This is the opposite of knowing and glorifying God and looking into His Word. Here’s Bible corroboration.
To the law and to the testimony (God’s Word): if they speak not according to this word (the Bible The Explanation is quoting from), it is because there is no light in them.
No light means such godless teachers have darkened hearts and transform light into darkness.
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan (the stranger in the Garden) himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
The Serpent transformed itself into an angel of light. Following such a transformation is DOWNgrading your life—that’s what Adam and Eve did. We want to avoid this downslide at all costs; it is the cause of our individual and societal problems.
These are hard sayings, I know, but if you want to know God’s Plan to Transform Your Mind, Upgrade Your Life, you must know God’s Plan from the beginning, the first five minutes. What we must transform our minds from. From darkness, the voices in our heads, our intuition, and the imaginations of our hearts.
The Result of Rejecting God’s Word, His Glory and Way.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate (G96) mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Adam and Eve and, subsequently, their descendants were no longer on God’s wavelength; they could not incorporate God’s spirituality into their reasoning process.
Humankind obliged their Creator God to teach them a lesson: You cannot disobey without consequences. He put them out of the Garden and padlocked the gate. Adam and Eve were now in the world with their jaded, hiding in the trees from God frame of mind.
ἀδόκιμος adokimos ad-ok’-ee-mos; From G1 (as a negative particle) and G1384; unapproved that is rejected; by implication worthless (literally or morally):
KJV: – castaway rejected reprobate.
This is what happened to Adam and Eve and, subsequently, all their descendants’ minds
καταφθείρω kataphtheirō kat-af-thi’-ro; From G2596 and G5351; to spoil entirely that is (literally) to destroy; or (figuratively) to deprave
KJV: – corrupt utterly perish.
Read Romans 1:21-32 at UnlockBibleMeaning.com to see their corrupt depravity. Then, compare it with our society today. The similitude is striking. Corrupt minds lead to depraved behavior.
The second critical lesson from this book is that God left humans with twisted minds. Humans wrongly reason that God is good and wouldn’t let someone innocent suffer. God is good, but first, we are not innocent; we’ve rejected Him. Second, the reason He left people with corrupt minds is twofold.
He wants humans to realize that their imaginations, intuition, and hearts lead to destruction (the forbidden Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil that leads to death). Secondly, only when humans have exhausted all possible experiments, inventions, and conceptions of their depraved minds will they come to their senses, realize they don’t have the solution, and turn to their Creator in all humility with a sincere God help us.
