GOD’S PREDESTINED PLANS WRITTEN in HIS BOOK of LIFE for YOU
Who makes you unique? How is God directly involved in the engineering of your physical and spiritual uniqueness? Here is a list of some twenty individual characteristics that God foreknew, preplanned, and predestined before time began about you that are uniquely you and only you and your life that are recorded on your page in His Book of Life. These individual characteristics absolutely reveal God’s intricacy in your life i.e. His delicate but very complex, sophisticated intimacy in the details of your life in time, place, and the course of human history.
God first loved you before anything was! Man was and is the focus of and reason for creation. This fact gives you and every man a specific and particular time and place in history. (1)
(1) We love Him because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19) NKJV
(1a) “What is man that you make so much of him, that you give him so much attention, that you examine him every morning and test him every moment? Will you never look away from me, or let me alone even for an instant? (Job 7:17-19) NIV

God had all of your preplanned and predestined days for your life written in His Book of Life before anything was. Christians must realize that God the Father as the architect of the universe has a blueprint – His detailed plan of action – for each person’s life that He put together before time began. (2)

(3) **** God’s intricacy in Jesus Christ’s physical life i.e. His delicate but very complex, sophisticated intimacy in the details of His life in time, place, and the course of history in human events is revealed to us in all the lists of genealogies of His People found in the Old Testament. God also knows your complete ancestry from Eve – the mother of all of mankind (Genesis 3:20) to and through your parents and beyond you to your offspring and their offspring in this time and place in history.
(3a) THE BOOK of the ancestry (genealogy) of Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), the son (descendant) of David, the son (descendant) of Abraham. [Psalms 132:11; Isaiah 11:1.] (Matthew 1:1) AMP
(3b) **** Also see Luke 3:23-38. Again, Jesus Christ is our example to see God’s involvement in every nanosecond of the life of each and every one of His offspring.
God foreknew you by name in your mother’s womb because He foreknew you before anything was. (4)

God numbered the hairs of your head before anything was. In order for Him to “number
the hairs of your head,” God the Holy Spirit had to have been present at your conception to individually place them in your scalp. (9)

(13a) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

(Jeremiah 29:11-14a) NKJV

(Galatians 1:15-16) AMP
God numbered all the days of your life before anything was. (15) He not only knew when
and where you would be birthed (as revealed in some of the following Scriptures) but also knew when, where, why, and how you are going to die and nothing can change it. (16) This is when your spirit that God the Holy Spirit formed within at your conception returns to God. (17) There is Scripture that shows God can be flexible in one’s death date but that extension does not necessarily include God’s blessing. (18)
(15) …………. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. (Psalms 139:16) NKJV
(16) that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.” (Deuteronomy 30:20) NKJV

(18) **** Prayer can sway God to be flexible in the timing of one’s death. King Hezekiah is our example. Hezekiah became very sick and Isaiah informed him that he would die. Hezekiah prayed and asked God for healing and God granted him 15 years of additional life. (2 Kings 20:1-6) But this extension brought grief and sorrow because he lost his family and his kingdom. (2 Kings 20:12-19)

Let’s continue on with your history. You have been born, lived your life, and now you have died. Is there life after death? If so, what part(s) of you is/are still alive? Do you have a soul and spirit? (19) Who determines what happens to you? If it is God, how is He going to determine the end result of the course of your and each individual’s life? How is He going to judge the Believer and True Believer against the Make Believer and the Unbeliever? What is He going to use to confront you in His love with His truth and righteousness as you stand before Jesus Christ for judgment with all of your excuses as to why you did what you did? (20)
(19) And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7) KJV

(19b) Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it. (Ecclesiastes 12:7) NKJV
(19c) For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do. (Hebrews 4:12-13) AMP
(20) Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:9-11) AMP
(20a) And the Father leaves all judgment of sin to his Son, (John 5:22) TLB
