Chapter VIII
God the Holy Spirit Implementing His Plans
for You in His Creation.
In Chapter I, we studied God’s foreknown and predestined plans found in His Book of Life that He had formulated for ALL of man from BEFORE time began. In this Chapter, we will be studying God the Holy Spirit’s work in history in bringing you into being at THIS time and place in history {2017}.
I believe that God the Holy Spirit was also present at the very beginning of creation, and I believe He had with Him God the Father’s plans found in His Book of Life for the successive ages of His creation. Because God the Father and God the Son are seated on their Thrones in the third heaven, it is God the Holy Spirit’s work to be the administrator of ALL of God’s creation to bring it to fruition/make it work according to God the Father’s plans and the Son’s creation. Please be aware that the Bible’s focus is on man and to some extent the angels offering Christ’s salvation to us/them and does NOT give a lot of detail pertaining to the rest of creation in general.
Genesis 1:2 The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters, {and He had with Him God the Father’s Book of Life containing His plans for ALL of His creation.}. AMP
Psalms 104:30 When You send forth Your Spirit and give them breath, they are created, and You replenish {to make new/to become full} the face of the ground. AMP {The presence of God the Holy Spirit brings order and purpose to all life in God’s creation.}
Job 34:14-15 If [God] should set His heart upon him [man] and withdraw His [life-giving] spirit and His breath [from man] to Himself, 15 All flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust. [Ps 104:29; Eccl 12:7.] AMP
The absence of God the Holy Spirit will destroy the order and purpose of all life of God’s creation. This is what makes me very concerned about the absence of God the Holy Spirit in the processes of Artificial Insemination (AI) and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Does this contrived “test tube human being” made through these man made processes have a spirit? It is the “work” of God the Holy Spirit to put the right sperm from your father with the right egg from your mother and to give you your “spirit” at your conception. While man can produce “test tube” human babies, I do not believe a man/scientist can put the right egg and right sperm together along with infusing their “spirit” into the zygote/embryo to form the foreknown and predestined human offspring as found in God’s Book of Life!!!
God’s Book of Life contains ALL of the names of humans who are to be conceived using God’s template for the natural procreation process during man’s history. It is God the Holy Spirit creating you here at this time and place in history {21st century} and putting your spirit within you at your conception so that you can commune with Him during your life from your age of accountability – the youngest age at which you discerned right from wrong – through serving God in your foreknown ministry:
Ezekiel 36:26-27 A new {spiritual} heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you {which will enable you to communicate with My Spirit}, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh {so you can help others}. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall heed My ordinances and do them. AMP
Psalms 139:13-15 {David speaking about God} For You {God the Holy Spirit} did form my inward parts {putting my spirit within me}; 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] {Man and animals are made from the elements of the dust and the ground [Genesis 2:7, 3:19 – dust for man; 2:19 – ground for animals}. AMP
Zechariah 12:1 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: AMP
Proverbs 20:11 Even a child is known by his acts, whether [or not] what he does is pure and right. AMP
Romans 14:12 And so each of us shall give an account of himself [give an answer in reference to judgment] to God. AMP
Let’s move along. You have passed childhood and the age of accountability and now have developed into a young man or woman. What are the next stages of your life? Biblically speaking God created Eve to be Adam’s wife through marriage.
Genesis 2:21-25 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam; and while he slept, He took one of his ribs or a part of his side and closed up the [place with] flesh. 22 And the rib or part of his side which the Lord God had taken from the man He built up and made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23 Then Adam said, This [creature] is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of a man. 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall become united and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. [Matt 19:5; 1 Cor 6:16; Eph 5:31-33.] 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not embarrassed or ashamed in each other’s presence. AMP
Husband and wife are now a family unit which includes their naturally conceived offspring. It is very interesting that Eve understood God’s involvement in her bearing children! How did she know this??? When Adam and Eve were walking and talking with God in His Garden {Genesis 3:9}, did He share some of these things with her? I believe she was “spiritually wise” in her faith in God way beyond our understanding!
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them {Adam and Eve} and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it …….AMP
Psalms 127:3-5 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. [Deut 28:4.] As arrows are in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth {Children are an integral part of a marriage}. 5 Happy, blessed, and fortunate is the man whose quiver is filled with them! They will not be put to shame when they speak with their adversaries [in gatherings] at the [city’s] gate. AMP
Genesis 4:1 AND ADAM knew {had intercourse with} Eve as his wife, and she became pregnant and bore Cain; 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 another child instead of Abel, for Cain slew him. AMP
