Man’s Plans Without God Are Doomed to Fail

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

By Bud Hancock

God’s Perfect Plan

God has always had a perfect plan for everything. Even before He spoke the words that created everything we can see, hear, smell. taste and touch, in other words, the natural world we live in, He had His plans formulated that would provide everything we would ever need in this life. He created the sources for food that would provide nutrition without breaking a sweat to obtain it.

Everything Adam and Eve could have ever needed was already there for them, or would be when it was needed.  Life could have been, and should have been a perfect utopia, a literal heaven on earth.  That was God’s plan.

All that was required on the part of Adam and his wife was—obedience to God’s words. They were given every blessing that God knew that needed.  Life was truly perfect.  They had been warned by God about a curse that would overtake them if they chose to disobey His words.

Man’s Plan Comes from Listening to Satan

But, before Adam and Eve could experience all the goodness God had planned for them, as well as their offspring that would eventually come, sin entered as a result of their disobedience, and in a moment, everything changed; their disobedience had activated the curse that God had warned them of.

Suddenly, their perfect food supply was cut off.  The requirement to break that sweat to provide their own food was introduced as a part of the curse that was activated when sin entered.  Now, in order to obtain food, Adam was required to till the soil, which previously had only produced the perfect plants designed by God, but was now producing thorns, thistles and weeds. How far man had fallen in a very short time, based on one bad decision.

Just how did man get himself so quickly from a position of perfection, and having authority over all of God’s creation, with his life totally planned by the Creator, into the mess that the world became? A mess that caused him and his wife to be forcibly removed from the Garden of Eden?

A mess where the man was required to toil and sweat to grow their food, an act that had been previously accomplished simply by picking perfect food from a tree? A mess where the woman would suffer anguish and pain during childbirth? He decided, as an act of his will, to follow his own plan, or at least the plan that Satan offered to him.

Having listened to Satan’s plan, tasting the fruit of disobedience that would make them like gods, knowing good and evil, they gave their attention to the evil plan and obviously decided it sounded better that God’s. They willingly turned from God to Satan. That action immediately set into motion the future course of the entire human race, and made Satan their god, instead of the Creator of all things.

Did the actions of Adam and Eve in deciding to follow Satan catch God by surprise, and cause Him to go into panic mode to quickly formulate a new plan? Absolutely not. God has always known the end from the beginning, and he knew that this would occur, but, being the ultimate planner, He was ready with His plan to redeem mankind from the thief and destroyer.

The needed redemption of a lost human race was already a part of God’s perfect plan. We are told in in revelation 13:8 that Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb, was “slain from the foundation of the world.”  Jesus had been chosen to become the Redeemer of lost mankind long before Adam and Eve were created.  He was chosen, sent, prepared and anointed to provide the redemption that would be offered to anyone who would choose to accept it.

God is never caught up short by any attempt of Satan to stop His plan. While He knew exactly what would happen in the Garden of Eden, he was way ahead of Satan and at that time, He prophesied that Jesus would come to bruise his head.  That took place when Jesus was crucified, died and was resurrected.

From the time of disobedience until the arrival of Jesus, nothing could stop God’s plan from succeeding.  He is always in control and will not allow Satan to defeat Him, or even delay His plan.  Man was always to be the recipient of all the good that God planned at the time of creation, but, he still must accept the redemptive part of God’s plan for it to have any positive affect on his life.

By exercising his free will, he can still choose to refuse God’s plan just as Adam did in the Garden.  Throughout the ages since creation, and especially since Jesus completed His perfect work, man has tried to succeed using his own plans, thoughts and ideas.  And, every attempt has been a dismal failure.

The Fix for Man’s Failed Plans

The words of King Solomon declare in Proverbs 3: 5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”  In this Scripture, the Lord is letting us know that our plans will never succeed unless we first place all our trust in Him and allow Him to establish the plan needed for success in our personal lives.

For thousands of years, mankind has tried to do just the opposite and expect God to bless our plans without any recognition of Him.  This is the reason why human government has been a total failure on this planet.  Political leaders have continually tried to institute their plans, using politics, consisting mostly of intimidation, manipulation and human persuasion, to accomplish their goals without first recognizing God and allowing Him to direct their thoughts and ideas.  This process has caused all the wars and other terrible events that have plagued mankind since creation.

Conclusion

Until those who are called leaders in this world finally give up their own ways and allow God to direct their thoughts and paths, human government will continue to be a disaster and complete failure.  Until individual men and women recognize the sovereignty of God in their lives and allow him to be the Lord of their lives, their lives will also end in complete failure.

Until the Church gives up its own plans, created in the minds of so-called Church leaders, the Church will struggle to be what God intended it to be-Salt and Light. God’s plan was for the Church, the Body of Christ, to take His message to all the world, but only after “trusting in the Lord with all their hearts and then allowing God to direct the paths.

It is up to the Church to get the message of God out to all those who have been struggling for their entire lives, trying to make something good happen without any input from the Creator.  Until God is allowed to be God in the lives of people, whether a government leader, a pastor, a lay person, or the unsaved, the plans of man will continue to fail. It is time to let God’s plan take over and finish what He started in the beginning.

      123’s of true Christianity v popular & damnable heresies
      (simply because you “confess” it does not mean you actually are, the devil has deceived many of his own children to believe they are Christians 2Tim 3:5)
      #1 “ONE” not triune: THE ANTI CHRIST….WHERE? WHERE?….EVERYWHERE!!! …..IT”S YOU O TRINITARIAN!

      “WHO” it was (what person) that came “IN THE FLESH”, IS THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE “ANT-CHRIST”! Even Islam claims Jesus was the Jewish messiah/Christ who was to come in the flesh) they all deny “WHO” it was (what person) that came (to be the Christ) in the flesh!?!…….To deny the father is to deny the son because they are one and the same person that came in the flesh! https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/part-6-anti-christ-where-everywhere-allen-daves?trk=mp-reader-card

      JOHN 14: 8-20 where Christ specifically identifies himself (his person as the person of both the father and the HS; the only distinction is in “location” and “method of manifestation” …….Note Isaiah 9:6. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: …: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, … the everlasting Father ….The son, father/Holy Spirit are all the same person, NOT like two different persons working together even as “one flesh” ….The “oneness” between Christ and the father is not comparable to a man & his wife, for only a fool would say “When you have seen me you have seen my wife, how sayest thou then, Shew us your wife?” Notice they asked to see THE FATHER and the response was Jn 14:9 ..“HAVE I BEEN SO LONG time with you, and yet hast THOU NOT KNOW ME, Philip…..Now image some fool trying to claim that statement if you asked to see his wife!?!!? You want to see the FATHER but have I been with you but you don’t know me!?!?! https://www.scribd.com/doc/305367608/The-Trinity-Heresy

      Jn 14 continued….…………..17. Even THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH; (Jn 14:6 I AM the way, THE TRUTH,) whom the world cannot receive, .. for HE DEWLLETH WITH YOU, (present tense/standing next to them in the flesh) and SHALL BE IN YOU… (future tense “In them”) 18. I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU (future tense “In them”) Note: The spirit of Christ is the sprit of God and the holy spirit that is why Christ said “I will come to you” (to comfort them, because Christ is the comforter). The spirit was standing next to them in flesh… ….latter it would come to them to be inside of them (inside of their flesh as the spirit we are given)…..that is why. he would send the spirit…… However, Jesus himself here makes the point that the same person who was the HOLY SPIRIT that would come was standing next to them but lets them know “I will come to you again to be Inside of you”

      The whole point to Gal 3:20.a mediator is NOT A MEDIATOR OF ONE, (HEIS) but GOD IS ONE. (HEIS) again, point blank, identifies the number of persons of God! The “but” points out the contrast between multiple persons in a mediation party v the “one” of God. God is not like a mediation party with multiple different persons. …..”the express image of his person” ( the person of God; singular not plural).Any attempt to lay claim otherwise is willful ignorance and delusional nonsense https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/part-1-echadechadmy-godgod-echad-allen-daves?trk=mp-reader-card

      NOTE: don’t be that one in prov 26:12 over my use of the word “fool” here prov 18:13 (https://www.scribd.com/presentation/322007258/Fools ) “But but, the gospel of John…the Gospel of John …look look…” which is quite ironic since the gospel of John does not leave ANY room for multiple different persons of Jesus and father. However the gospel of John does leave a few verses that facilitate God’s promise in 2 Thess 2:11/ Isaiah 66:4 (take note of “HAND” in verse 2,14..You just can’t make this stuff up…God is surely laughing at these fools; Ps 2:1&4)

      ……Mark 12:28…Which is the first commandment of all? 29. …Hear, O Israel; THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD: 30. And ………..this is the first commandment….. 31. And the second is…..
      JESUS IS GOD AND IS THE FULLFILMENT OF ALL THE LAW AND PROPHETS SO IF YOU CAN’T GET THIS “FIRST OF ALL COMMANDMENTS” RIGHT, ALL THE REST OF YOUR “FAITH” AND PREACHING ON SIN IS MOOT

      TRINITARIANS CONFESS JESUS /THEY ARE NOT POLYTHEIST BUT ARE MONOTHEIST LIKE A LIAR & THIEF WHO “CONFESS” THEY DO NOT LIE OR STEAL The simple fact is that just because you confess or deny that you are in an adulterous relationship and denounce all forms of adultery has nothing to do with whether or not it is in fact adulterous! .. …A rose by any other name is still just a rose AND calling it a water lily does not change the definition of what a water Lilly or a rose is either!…No, Trinitarians confess & preach literally …”ANOTHER JESUS” 2 Cor 11:4

      https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/part-2-pgs-91-101-chapter-eight-lets-talk-us-allen-daves?trk=mp-reader-card

      - Like a thief in your house caught stealing your things insisting he was not there stealing “I CONFESS I am NOT stealing”. You just do not “properly understand” what he is doing/saying. Further, since you never had a “proper understanding” of what he is doing/saying you have no business accusing him since you do not even know what you are talking about in the first place. It is with and in your own ignorance that you base your “false accusations” & “ad homonym attacks” against him…… Ridiculous of course it is ……2Thess 2:11; Titus 1:16; 2Tim 3:5;

      - A Favorite tool for pathological liars is to use incongruent definitions or create oxymorons out of synonyms such as “a person” and “a being” so as to claim that your god is THREE DIFFERENT PERSONS but ONLY ONE BEING: Which is (1) no different then trying to claim that “THREE DIFFERENT CARS” is “THE ONE VEHICLE” (2) blatant demonstration of the dishonesty & sorcery these children of hell will employ with “a strait face” (which is in part what it means to be a pathological liar)
      ……but, ah i remember how this game is played… “God is three in one” (or 1in 3 or 3in one et al) should have given you a hint, harking back to Satan in The garden…God said you will die…Satan comes along and states no you will be more WISE……today .God said He is one; but Satan’s children come along and say no three is more WISE and humble in the face of God’s grandeur only “a mystery” that can be understood “in faith”. God uses head and right arm to explain the distinctions between father and son.. However, the Trinitarian heretics say to the effect: “NO, that is just a figure of speech, or that is not what God really means. What God is really saying is that God is three different persons”. Fools, hypocrites and blind guides, God said he was One and by your traditions and vain imaginations have taken the words of God and made them of no effect, refashioning God into your image!

      #2 SECOND COMING Thou Fool! “I come quickly” so “Hold fast
      till i come”… NOT …“in another 2000 yrs I might be coming soon any time now, so hold fast”!?! …those that deny the second coming of Christ in the war of AD70 are practicing a damnable heresy in denying the lord that bought them ( 2Peter 2:1-2 ;2Tim 4:8/ you cant love an appearing you deny& the context is the 2nd coming not the first)… Mat 7:23..”I NEVER KNEW YOU” …..Mat 10:33. But whosoever shall deny me before men……..sound familiar?…. If I said I am coming to your house in this generation when these things happen but no one knows the day or hour what fool would think I might be coming in 2000 years latter!?!? ..2 Tim 4: 4. And
      they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be TURNED UNTO FABLES.
      2Thess 2: 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

      #3 There is a sharp contrast between THREE groups :

      (1) “PREDESTINED DAMNED” who were NEVER written in the book of life ………..Rev 17: 8 WHOSE NAMES WERE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, …as contrasted …EPH 1: 4. According as he hath CHOSEN US in him BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD

      (2) “MANY CALLED”= ONLY and ALL SAINTS (those who come to Christ) are written in the book of life … Philippians 4:3… ……Rev 21:27; (Only saints are Called and elect; Rom 1:6-7 et al) This is THE CHRUCH and ONLY these can have their names blotted out of the book of life ….….Heb 12:23 to the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn … WHICH ………are WRITTEN in heaven,

      (3) THE FEW CHOSEN: Those saints who were alive in group #2 who are now physically dead. They died “faithful” these are the FEW that were chosen faithful…….Rev 3:5. ……; and I
      will not BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE, (Ps 69:28) …. These are the FEW that are CHOSEN and now that they have died and are saved then “once saved THEY CAN NEVER BE LOST”
