Historic plans

I advise you to recognize to that you are living and experiencing your life in accord with a plan that has been put in place for you by God. Even secular scientists now affirm that the physical universe in which we all live has an intelligent plan as its operating controls that give it order even in its smallest and frequently implemented details. Nothing happens in our lives by any random accidents. The initial plan that God put in place for the implementation of His authoritative will in what He would reveal about His nature and glory is known as Creation. The report of its implementation and operation is contained in the documents of Genesis 1-2 that are available to us human beings in various printed versions of God’s verbal work of creating and controlling this universe and our world in which He placed His human beings who were commissioned to cooperate with Him in its operation (See Genesis 1:28 and 2:19-20) When that Creation plan was hampered by Adam’s choice to disobey God’s commandment against seeking the knowledge of what would be “good” or “evil” in their daily lives (See Genesis 3:1-7 and 8-24), God implemented a new plan for His work of Redemption that He put in place that would implement and control the operation of the physical universe and its human beings in their daily lives. You can learn about this plan and study its details by going to this statement on this website: https://www.christianityetc.org/redemption.php. I will be glad to answer any questions that you may have about this Redemption plan in this Blog or in personal email inquires to me.

My historic plan

When I became independent enough in my own personal life, I decided that it would be “good” for me to have access to a female human being who would give me sexual pleasure when I wanted it, regardless of any laws against such activity in the Redemption plan that God had in place for my life. I was able to bring such a female into my life. We produced a family of three sons and engaged in good jobs of secular and Christian service for twenty five years. That went on until I decided to divorce her because she was not giving me the sexual pleasure that I wanted when I wanted it. So I continued to implement my very selfish plan for marriages with females who would satisfy my addiction for sexual pleasure. I was able to do this with three other women over the course of the next forty-one years. The first two marriages in this series of relationships ended in rather quick destructive divorces by the women. The last marriage with a very special woman, Betty J., lasted for thirty-one years, and it was ended by her peaceful death in the living room of our home. It provided many experiences of God’s blessings in our lives, but we also experienced the consequences of our human selfish wants in our marriage. This only demonstrates that none of us human beings are wise enough or strong enough to implement a consistently “good” plan for the operation of our daily lives in accord with God’s standard for what is “good” in our personal choices.

My new plan

When Betty died on the last day in December 2022, I was left to choose a plan for the operation of my life that would be ultimately “good” for me and protect me from the “evil” consequences of my selfish personal choices in my daily life. One of the blessings that I received from God in my marriage with Betty was that I could live in a “good” satisfying relationship of marriage with a female partner in which I did not require the pleasures of sexual activity. Her devotion to me and my ministry enabled God to free me from my addiction for sexual pleasure in my human relationships. This means that I can now give the attention of my thoughts and personal choices to the qualities of “good” loving that are present in God’s Redemptive plan that operates on the holy principles for unconditional (“agape”) love that God is now seeking to activate in my life.

This means that I am now seeking to build a network of personal friends in my life after being a shut-in with Betty as I tried to take care of her in her helpless condition in our home for the last four years of her life. I have resumed to participate in the fellowship and service of a local church where I am being blessed by encouragement of these “brothers” and “sisters” “in Christ as I learn how to trust the Spirit in my heart and mind for His wise and transforming power in my life. The details of this operation of trust are being expressed every day in my personal choices, even as I write this Post in my blog in the platform of the website that the Spirit has given to me. I am amazed by how this new Plan is working in my life! I am finally learning how to love God with all of my heart, , soul, mind and strength and to love my neighbor in the same way that I love myself (Matthew 22:37-38 and Mark 12:28-31). The process of implementing this Plan in my life is not easy or automatic. There is a battle going on in my heart and mind between God’s will for His Redemptive plan in my life and the ongoing selfish wants of my “flesh” that are still present in my mind. I am encouraged in this process, because I continue to experience the transforming wisdom and love of God in my heart every day, so I know that God is not yet through with me. I am really excited to clearly see what God has planned for me in the next role of service that He is preparing for me at this “old” stage in my life. I do not think that it is going to include any more marriages to any female human beings, which is fine, because I’m still not wise enough or strong enough to handle such relationship very well.

What Plan are you seeking to implement for the daily operation of your life? Whom are you seeking to trust in your personal thoughts and choices every day, the Spirit of God, your own selfish will, or the Devil’s “evil” temptations?
