God’s Foreknown Thoughts
and Plans for Your Life.
I believe that God is and has always been present and involved in our lives every nanosecond of time for an incalculable period BEFORE time and history began down through the future {an incalculable period because there was NO time during that era}. His foreknown and predestined plans were for us to become His physical offspring through the natural human process of procreation which can be defined as the natural begetting/producing by a husband/man and a wife/woman of a human offspring during a particular time and place in history under the control and guidance of God the Holy Spirit.
In manufacturing, when man is going to physically replicate the same product/ item thousands of times, he uses a secure “template” {pattern/model} to act as a guide in reproducing the item to ensure that the design and finished product is not corrupted for the run of the product. Think about this! It is guesstimated that God replicated the act of human reproduction over 100 billion times so far in the course of human history. There are TWO Scriptures that states there is a template for human reproduction – it contains the original concept, it has the master pattern, it is the original model, and it produced the first working prototype and reproduces each successive copy for EVERY and ALL future human offspring ever to be conceived and reproduced by the natural process of human procreation. It is the act of sexual intercourse between a husband/man and wife/female producing an offspring/child with the assistance of God the Holy Spirit. Following is God’s “template” for human reproduction:
Genesis 4:1 AND ADAM {as the husband} knew {had intercourse with} Eve as his wife, and she became pregnant and bore Cain {their offspring}; and she said, I have gotten and gained a man with the help of the Lord. AMP
Genesis 4:25 And Adam’s wife again became pregnant, and she bore a son and called his name Seth. For God, she said, has appointed for me {in His Book of Life} another child instead of Abel, for Cain slew him. AMP
ADDENDUM
I have to insert my following thoughts on human reproduction. There are four participants in the above template of every natural human conception – husband/ male and wife/female producing an offspring/child with the help of God the Holy Spirit. This template/procedure has been used by God OVER 100 billion times since God commanded man to reproduce.
Genesis 4:1 AND 1) ADAM knew 2) Eve as his wife, and she became pregnant and bore 3) Cain; and she said, I have gotten and gained a man with the help of the 4) Lord {God the Holy Spirit}. AMP
Psalms 139:13-15 For You {Holy Spirit} did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery] {in David’s mother’s womb}. AMP
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them {Adam and Eve} and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth. AMP
This template has been used by God OVER 100 billion times since Eve the mother of all the living started producing human offspring. Man has tried using technology {Artificial Insemination since before the 1940’s and In Vitro Fertilization since the 1950’s} to corrupt God’s template to reproduce human offspring, and while they appear to be somewhat successful, are they? Can a human technician bypass God’s foreknown and predestined plan found in His Book of Life for a particular human offspring using the sperm from a predestined man and an egg from a predestined woman and a God formed spirit into an unknown {by God} manmade human zygote? Do you think God would relinquish His part in the human procreation process by letting man and his technology usurp Him from the process? ABSOLUTLY NOT!!! ONLY GOD CAN MAKE A COMPLETE HUMAN BEING!!! This is a “tough teaching!!!”
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope {of eternal life} in your final outcome. AMP Titus 1:2 [Resting] in the hope of eternal life, [life] which the ever truthful God Who cannot deceive promised before the world or the ages of time began. AMP
Zechariah12:1 THE BURDEN or oracle (the thing to be lifted up) of the word of the Lord concerning Israel: Thus says the Lord, Who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth and forms the spirit of man within him {at his conception by God the Holy Spirit}. AMP
Humans can only naturally reproduce offspring with human traits that are theirs to replicate – gender, body, arms, hands, legs, feet, color of skin, eyes, hair, and other physical features. I do NOT believe that human technology can reproduce within a human zygote a God formed spirit when they do NOT have access to nor possess it in their physiology/physical makeup!!! People produced through man’s engineering do NOT have a God formed “spirit!!!” I know there are Christians who will not agree with my belief, but this is where I stand!
At the end of Chapter I of this book, I included a prayer for you to receive the “sound mind of Christ” to help you to understand this study. If you have not done so yet, now is the time to pray and ask God for the “sound mind of Christ” as I seek to help you understand Satan’s lying and deceit of man by encouraging reproduction scientists to use Artificial Insemination and In Vitro Fertilization in human reproduction which cannot have a God formed human spirit in a man generated individual human zygote. All such people who are produced in such a manner are BASTARDS – they have NO spiritual Father!!! ALL such “common sense” teaching is demoniacal from Satan!
James 3:11-17 Does a fountain send forth [simultaneously] from the same opening fresh water and bitter? 12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine figs? Neither can a salt spring furnish fresh water. 13 Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then let him by his noble living show forth his [good] works with the [unobtrusive] humility [which is the proper attribute] of true wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry, selfish ambition) in your hearts, do not pride yourselves on it and thus be in defiance of and false to the Truth. 15 This [superficial] wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual (animal), even devilish (demoniacal) {from Satan}. 16 For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices. 17 But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity). AMP
Isaiah 9:6 For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity] {for ALL foreknown predestined human offspring}, Prince of Peace. [Isa 25:1; 40:9-11; Matt 28:18; Luke 2:11.] AMP
At conception, only God can create a complete human zygote/being containing their God formed spirit!!! ALL other human engineered zygotes are from Satan and are without a God formed “spirit!” John 10:10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I {Jesus} came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). AMP
The Amplified Bible uses the term “successive ages” which I believe gives to us a time line for the events of time and history from beginning to end. Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible. AMP
I believe that BEFORE time and history began, God wrote in His Book of Life ALL of the names of ALL naturally conceived humans to ever be conceived!!! Psalms 139:16 {King David sharing with God} Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them {from BEFORE the successive ages of time and history began. This is the SAME for ALL naturally conceived humans!}. AMP
Down through the successive ages, if there are any living people whose names are NOT written in God’s Book of Life from the foundation of the world, we have a problem as to how they came into existence. I believe that they are people who have come into existence using human technology of either Artificial Insemination or In Vitro Fertilization whose name are NOT written in God’s Book of Life from BEFORE time and history began because God did NOT foreknow nor create them! They are a product of human technology/human reproduction engineering that began in earnest in the 1940’s-1950’s.
Revelation 17:8-9 The beast that you saw [once] was, but [now] is no more, and he is going to come up out of the Abyss (the bottomless pit) and proceed to go to perdition. And the inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been recorded in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will be astonished when they look at the beast, because he [once] was, but [now] is no more, and he is [yet] to come. [Dan 7:3.] 9 This calls for {using the sound mind of Christ} a mind [to consider that is packed] with wisdom and intelligence [it is something for a particular mode of thinking and judging of thoughts, feelings, and purposes {of Scripture}]…… AMP
To sum this up, I believe that ALL the human beings that have come into existence through man’s use of technology do NOT have a “spirit” that can communicate with God. They certainly are alive, but my question is, “If they do not have a God formed spirit, can they ever connect up to God to be saved?”
1 Corinthians 2:11-16 For what person perceives (knows and understands) what passes through a man’s thoughts except the man’s own spirit within him? Just so no one discerns (comes to know and comprehend) the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we {God’s adopted children} have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God. 13 And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit].14 But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated. 15 But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern or appraise or get an insight into him]. 16 For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart. [Isa 40:13.] AMPT
The God formed spirit of every naturally conceived person also has another purpose. Upon their death, their spirit returns to God who gave it.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust [out of which God made man’s body] return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God Who gave it. AMP
While Scripture does not share why a naturally conceived person’s spirit returns to God, we must understand that their spirit contains the historical record of every nanosecond of their life from conception to death, therefore it contains all of the history of a person’s life that God will use in His judgement of that person – a judgement that is formed and supported by a person’s own record.
John 3:18 He who believes in Him {Jesus Christ as their personal Savior} [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation — he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe {in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior} (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ’s name.] AMP
The Christian is called to worship and serve God in “spirit and truth” and to live a life that reflects their relationship with Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, Lord God, and Master.
John 4:23-24 A time will come, however, indeed it is already here, when the true (genuine) worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth (reality); for the Father is seeking just such people as these as His worshipers. 24 God is a Spirit (a spiritual Being) and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth (reality). AMP
Romans 12:1-2 I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and {Paul speaking} beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. AMP
1 John 2:15-17 Do not love or cherish the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world — the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one’s own resources or in the stability of earthly things] — these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself]. 17 And the world passes away and disappears, and with it the forbidden cravings (the passionate desires, the lust) of it; but he who does the will of God and carries out His purposes in his life abides (remains) forever. AMP
I pray this Addendum has made it clear that an IVF offspring and some AI offspring do NOT have a God given spirit and are not as complete as a God created human!
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah). 24 Faithful is He Who is calling you [to Himself] and utterly trustworthy, and He will also do it [fulfill His call by hallowing and keeping you]. AMP
I have checked some IVF websites and can find nothing about the spiritual makeup of an IVF and some manipulated AI conceived offspring! It appears that all IVF offspring and some of the manipulated AI offspring are in reality “counterfeit!”
END ADDENDUM
Now to continue on with my study. My question – How did Eve know that God was involved in her bearing a child? We know that Adam and Eve had a personal relationship with God, and as they walked in the Garden with Him, I would assume He also talked with them as He did after they sinned {Genesis 3:8-9, 16-19}. The possibility exists that God prepared Eve for her upcoming role as a mother and explained to her His involvement in her having an offspring.
I believe the Catholic Priests and Nuns, Monks, other humans who do not want to have naturally conceived children including the LGBTQ community is the product of the spirit of this world Satan who as the deceiver comes to kill, steal, and destroy God’s foreknown and predestined plans for all of His offspring.
1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God. AMP
John 10:10 The thief {Satan} comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I {Jesus Christ} came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). AMP
Isaiah 41:4 Who has prepared and done this, calling forth and guiding the destinies of the generations [{of the peoples} of the nations] from the beginning? I, the Lord — the first [existing before history began] and with the last [an ever-present, unchanging God] — I am He {Exodus 3:14}. AMP
Acts 17:28 For in Him we live and move and have our being; as even some of your [own] poets have said, For we are also His offspring. AMP
Psalms 127:5 Happy, blessed, and fortunate is the man whose quiver is filled with them {children}! They will not be put to shame when they speak with their adversaries [in gatherings] at the [city’s] gate. AMP
And then ultimately for us to become His spiritually adopted children by being “Born Again” ALL at the right time and place in history according to God’s foreknown and predestined plans in His Book of Life through our true faith in Jesus Christ as our personal Savior!
John 1:12-13 But to as many as did receive and welcome Him {Jesus Christ as their personal Savior}, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the {spiritual adopted} children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name — [Isa 56:5.] 13 Who owe their birth neither to bloods nor to the will of the flesh [that of physical impulse] nor to the will of man [that of a natural father], but to God. [They are born {again} of God!] AMP
Ephesians 1:4 Even as [in His love] He {God} chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world {to be His adopted “Born Again” Children}, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. AMP
God started making His plans in His Book of Life for us eons BEFORE anything was! Can you accept this as being true? What picture does the Bible give us about our having a predestined preplanned living and loving relationship with the Godhead in our lives?
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you {written in My Book of Life}, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome {future}. AMP {What is our “hope for our future?”}

Psalms 139:16 Your {God the Father’s} eyes saw my {yet – KJV} unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them. AMP
Ephesians 1:3-4 May blessing (praise, laudation, and eulogy) be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual (given by the Holy Spirit) blessing in the heavenly realm! 4 Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love {God truly desires that everyone be “Born Again”}. AMP
Romans 8:29-30 For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand {before time began}], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the {spiritual} image of His Son [and share inwardly His {spiritual} likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren. 30 And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being]. AMP
Isaiah 41:10 Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice. [Acts 18:10.] AMP
Hebrews 13:5 Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!] [Josh 1:5.] AMP
God lives in our physical lives as the “breath of life” even though we know that it is the plants that produce the oxygen that we breathe. What we do NOT think about is Who and how the plants were designed by to do this, and Who makes them and us continue on.
Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being. [1 Cor 15:45-49.] AMP
Job 27:3 As long as my life is still whole within me, and the breath {Spirit} of God is [yet] in my nostrils, AMP
Psalms 104:29-30 When You hide Your face, they are troubled and dismayed; when You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. 30 When You send forth Your Spirit and give them breath, they are created, and You replenish the face of the ground. AMP
Stop for a few minutes and pray and think about what the above Scriptures are saying. Can you see God’s “hand” in your life and the life of all living things?
Job 12:10 In His {God’s} hand is the life of every living thing {God gives life to ALL parts of His creation BUT especially} and the breath of all mankind. AMP
God’s original plans desire for ALL peoples everywhere to be “saved!”
Romans 2:4 Or are you [so blind as to] trifle with and presume upon and despise and underestimate the wealth of His kindness and forbearance and long-suffering patience? Are you unmindful or actually ignorant [of the fact] that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repent (to change your mind and inner man to accept God’s will)? AMP
1 Timothy 2:4 {God} Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth. AMP
