The Plan of God is prophesied, revealed and decreed by the Spirit of God and not by men's spirits or by carnal men who knows nothing about the story which God has built in heaven for the present narrative of His ministry and edification by His new name.
The faulty inferences, interpretation, and imagination of men professing to be spiritual based on what is already known and written in the Bible is leading many into perdition.
They being ignorant or unmindful of the works, ways, mind, and manner of God have taught and ministered the words and not the Spirit which is by the voice of the Lord.
The reason why most churches and religion and kingdoms are, so called, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men is because they are using the words written in the Vedas, Quran or in the Bible. These are the words that are revealed to men in the past and not by the voice which is from God by the prophets in the present. They should know that the words written signifies the absence of the Spirit while the voice signifies the presence of the Spirit.
Simply put, these men are living in the past in trying to relive the past and in refusing to live in the present moment which is continually changing unto the world that which is to come, that is, in the Spirit_ the otherwise known as the new heaven and the new Earth.
The plan of God is revealed from generation to generation and from faith to faith and from glory to glory, hence, the plan of God is peculiar in purpose, will, intent, judgment and counsel every time he visits his people.
There was a plan when God the Spirit by the hand of Moses intended to take out his people from the fiery furnace of affliction in Egypt in accordance with His promise to Abraham. There was also a plan by the same Spirit by the hand of Joshua to replace the inhabitants of the land of Canaan being abominable. There was also a plan by the same Spirit for Jesus to die on the cross making himself the living sacrifice to save the lost sheep of Israel. There was also a plan by the same Spirit by the hand of the apostle Paul to save the gentiles by the gospel of the uncircumcision. Today, many churches and religions and kingdoms miss the plan and the present truth of the SPIRIT which is by a voice which is in creation and service. The small picture of the plan is to save a people, a nation, or a generation in his name and the big picture of the plan is to create a people belonging to Him to populate the coming new heaven and new earth and serve him.
Now, salvation is a plan of God to man and not a plan of man to man, therefore, any man who usurps the authority for salvation is both a robber of the glory of God and is selfish for the gift or reward for God is all and in all, saying, it is not by might nor by power but by my Spirit. In another place it says, unless God build the house they labor in vain that build it: unless God keep the city that watchman taketh but in vain. Salvation is an intermediate plan of God to man for the ultimate goal of creating a man in order to serve him in the New heaven and new earth. Yea, service is the sure prophecy and testimony which is the ultimate goal.
Now, if the people that will be going to the new heaven and the new earth are going to be saved by the spirit of grace, and of mercy and of the power of God it can only be surmised that the new heaven and new earth will yet be a place inhabited by a people who will need to be subjected to creation to become holy and perfect. So creation is eternal just as service to God is eternal.
Now, how did it come to mind that man can know God? Surely, because they refer it to the words that are written which they misinterpret according to their own lusty soul coveting for a reward or a prize or a promise (salvation) not even knowing what they are asking.
Salvation is a motivation from God and never the goal that man may continue in the plan for him to be created in his image which is according to the gospel and finally be born into the kingdom of water and of the spirit and be born of God to serve God like Jesus and those who serve God in the ancient times.
Let it be known also that salvation is not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of God. In the words of Paul he set it this way, "for by grace (a spirit from God) are ye saved through faith (a spirit from God) and not of yourselves it is a gift of God and not of works lest any man should boast.
How did it ever come to mind that man will not work the work of God_ when the Bible is saying, be a doer of the work? Surely, this generation is teaching a lie for not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.
Surely, this generation will need a prophet to tell them the truth and to rightly divide the word of truth. The work to do is not the work of a man by his own spirit but by the Spirit of God, hence, it is not of works (of the spirit and might and power of man) lest any should boast.
How will thoughts add up and come to terms with the sound spirit regarding salvation when David of old said that, "Unless God build the house they labor in vain that build it, and unless God keep the city the watchman taketh but in vain". In another place, another witness claim saying, it is not in a man to direct his steps". Again, in another place it said, there are many devices in the heart of a man but the counsel of the Lord it shall stand."
Thus, as God is a Spirit and his ways and thoughts are not of men as it is higher than the thoughts and ways of man it is clear that no man can ever boast. In fact, if a man is filled with the fullness of God's spirit because of favor it makes him humble before God!
Now, it is the Spirit that works in a man which is from God to do the works of God, therefore, man has no right to grab or rob the credit and the glory which is of God.
Now, at the first glance, the interpretation of the whole Christiandom [sic] seem sound indicating that salvation is not of works: but, zooming out of the small picture unto the big picture one can clearly see that by the Spirit of God man has to be a doer of the work of the ministry, the edifying of the church and the perfecting of the saints. Thus, comes in the big picture of the plan for creation and service of man to God by the Spirit of God.
Now, creation is a continuum of destruction, rooting out and pulling down, and planting and building. It is no great wonder why Satan is a key player in creation. He is given the authority to kill, to steal, and to destroy, and to tempt once permitted by God like in the case of Job and with Jesus at the wilderness after he went through 40 days fasting.
Satan is largely misconstrued as the being who would enslave a soul towards hell. The truth is the opposite. Satan is given the authority to try and to test the children of God whether their spirituality is solidly founded on the Spirit and not on the rewards or lust for material things or for own desires.
The role of Satan is clear since the beginning as he tempted Adam and Eve on the soundness of their faith in God at the Garden of Eden. Satan also suggested to God to try the spirit that is in Job just as every man is told not to believe every spirit but to try every spirit whether they are of God. See the dialogue between Satan and God about Job below.
Job 1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
Job 1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Job 1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Job 1:11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Satan is a purifier with the fire to ensure that there is no string attached to the spirit of obedience of man in God. So Satan came burning with fire from heaven and stole the cattles of Job using the Sabeans and the Chaldeans, killed his sons and daughters at one time, and destroyed all his possessions even his very own body but in all those events Job did not sin.
As Satan is renowned to be the deceiver and is possessing individuals with his demons but all these are for the glory of God for in all these ways the name of God is honored and glorified before men. Satan is compliant to all of the words of God when being commanded. Satan is actually a servant of God just as the holy angels are, hence, the kingdom of God is not divided. This is a pill which is very hard to swallow.
And so, it is time to rethink and correct all of the perceptions about Satan. Satan is not an enemy of God. Satan is the enemy of the World and its spirit and Satan is also the enemy of the spirit of man. Hence, it was aptly said, that the adversary of man the devil is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.
Man has been deceived by his own pride and lust which prevents him to zero-in to his own weakness, mistakes, and flaws as the root of all the matters happening in him. Man, like Adam and Eve, will always point fingers at Satan.
Having a defense mechanism with the wrong mindset, belief, and doctrine kept a man from progressing in the spirit. All spirits are God's servants except the spirit of man which is subject to creation and the spirit of the world which know not God and hates God rejecting the knowledge of God. Now, it is clear why man is commanded not to love the world neither the things that are in the world.
Creation is the work of God whose servants are the holy and the profane angels with switching roles that appear abominable and unacceptable (Michael and his angels vs Satan and his angels) to man.
Creation is eternal and it always regenerates things like the new heaven and the new earth. Note, that the angels are not worthy to dwell in the new heaven and the new earth whereof we speak as this is meant for those who will be created in the image of God and have served Him here on earth having overcome the world.
Hebrews 2:5
For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come,
whereof we speak.
Now, it must be understood that the plan of God to mankind is manifold within the continuum of creation. The plan in creation involves the pouring out of the spirit unto man that he may be created in the gospel of God. Keep, therefore, yourself unspotted in this world.
