The Author Of Life

The Author Of Life

Sadly, in some cases, the lives of people become involved in the politics of reproduction, in that they do not know who their father is.  If a person does not know God and who He represents to them it becomes more difficult to explain the origin of their lives, both earthly and eternally.  If we understand that we have a single person responsible for our existence we can then accept that we have a purpose and a goal to reach from that purpose.  Make no mistake, our enemy wants to confuse us when it comes to our origin that we lose all faith in our existence enough to stop seeking the truth about our lives thus delaying or even ending the purpose our Father has given us.  God does not want confusion or anger residing within our hearts concerning this matter or any other matter and until we return to His fold and to His Ways our lives are going to continue to spiral out of control for that is what chaos thrives on and it is the way of the world.

The other day, I was scrolling through a social media site and I came across a post that said something to the effect that I always laugh when I see couples together that I know both have cheated on each other but still fake the idea that they are still in love.  While some may find this post funny others might find it repulsive and even more may find it the truth.  Whatever the case may be, it is a statement that many people harbor within their lives which carry over into the relationships that they deem secure and safe.  But what does this type of union produce?  It may produce a variety at times, it may produce a thrill or a scare at times but mainly it produces a rip into two peoples’ lives that should be joined together as one.  Not only this, but it could produce a child that will be haunted in the future for countless amounts of reasons.

As many of you know by now, I was adopted when I was a baby.  I have known only one set of parents my entire life, but biologically I have another set of parents that actually created me.  That creation was through a union of lies and deceit and after I was born some decisions had to be made in order for my mother to save face within her community.  So, this decision of hers had to be done in secret along with further sets of lies to not only to some of her friends but to my adoptive parents as well.  This may seem like a horror flick or mystery novel in real life but to me, I find it very informative because it explains many aspects of my life that I could not explain as my years on this earth added up.  My parents never kept any of this information from me and told me as much as they knew as I became older.  However, this was not the case with my biological family for I was kept a secret from them for over forty years.  I know this part of my life has been spoken about previously, but here we have a direct setting in a part of my family’s life that still burns bitter without seemingly any hope of reconciliation or restoration possible.  While my life has had its ups and downs throughout the decades the situations that my biological family has endured have grown by leaps and bounds and continues this course today. 

I am not going to go into detail here about many things but as the reunion of my biological family came to be, many unknown and unrecognized questions were answered through the putting together of points of knowledge from different conditions.  When my parents told my brother who my biological father was it sent shock waves through his body for it became known that both he and I shared the same father.  While the process of getting to know you have another family running around is tough enough, it was a complete revelation to my brother who had no clue about my existence.  It is this difference in understanding and knowledge that God wants to share with us today for there are numerous people around the world that have no idea who their biological father may be and they have no idea who their eternal Father is either.  It is this disastrous lack of truth in people’s lives that we see unfolding on every level in today’s societies.  God is still alive and it is possible that we can know Him and give back meaning to our lives that our enemy has stolen.

Genesis 2:7

“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.”

Hebrew

“Then the Lord God formed man [from] the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.”

Once again God gives us another familiar verse, or portion of a verse, to say a vital detail to our lives, one that needs to be placed within the forefront portions of our hearts and minds.  There can be no argument that many people will argue the point and fact that God is the Father of our existence, but at the same time and ironically those same people will contend for alternative solutions about who they believe is the first and creative source of humanity.  They shall spend countless hours trying their best to seek out answers from far outsources in order to substantiate their beliefs that someone else or something else began our existence.  They would rather believe that we evolved from ooze coming out of a miry swamp than believe that we had a Divine Creation with a specific purpose.  Their scientific claims of ooze coming out and spontaneously forming into a complete form somehow are more believable than a single Being making us from the ground. 

To some, it makes more sense to think that the origins of life must be so complex that it is impossible for us to understand the exact manner in which the ooze created us.  But when all is told, we understand why many do not consider God to be the Creator of our lives, for it would prove that the Bible and all of its content is correct and that someday all of us will stand in front of God and give account to Him for the way we lived and believed.  This is the ultimate concept that our enemy wants us to have, and as long as we ignore or do not totally believe in Genesis 2:7 we shall not have to encounter such a standing atmosphere, that our own ways of thinking are good enough to secure any type of afterlife, if there is any, to begin with.  Whether you believe in God’s Word and its authority or not, whether you believe in God or not, whether you believe that you will stand before God or not, each one of us shall be held accountable for our lives in front of God someday in our future.  It would be so much easier for us to believe this verse to be true and seek the Truth about our lives and everything about us through the words and wisdom of God than seek any fallacy from a limited and flawed source.

“And the Lord God” is the opening statement of the verse for this article and it gives a clear direction of who is going to be completing the action within this verse.  There is no other pointed to figure that can be associated with the verse, and there is no other being mentioned at this time – or any other time – that has the ability to create in such a manner from unformed particles.  As we have been shown in the two previous articles concerning this verse, God had a specific plan of action when He made us and through this unique formation put into motion the essence of life that we know as our lives today.  If God did not begin this process of life then there would be no way that any of us would be around to witness anything, for there is absolutely no cohesion that we could have been made without any supernatural guidance, ooze just does not form into humans with complete functioning categories within; the intricacies of the circulatory system alone would be too complicated to form in such short notice and would die before getting started if it took its time.

Furthermore, the original Hebrew words of this first portion of this verse states “Then the Lord God formed”.  Of course, the original Hebrew verbiage is supported completely by the Bible translation that is used here as well; but let us look at the Hebrew words for “Lord God” here.  First off, the Hebrew word for “Lord” is “Yahweh” which means the one true existing God.  The second word here “God” is “elohim” means divine one, one true God, rulers.  This description means that there is only one being that is present when mankind was made, but it also means that all of the Trinity was present at this time which explains why God uses the word “us” when referring to how to make mankind in Genesis 1:26.  A perfect beginning with holy and perfect intentions to be a representative for all life were we created to be.  This type of creation and future existence could only have come from such an eternal and Holy Being, one who is willing to call us His children.  What more of a definition and starting place can anyone ask for?

Plus, how would God be eligible to say that He is everlasting, holy, true, and our Father through these descriptions if He alone did not Create us in the first place?  The world would love to convince us that God is dead by saying He is a liar and that we do not have any need for Him in our lives.  Similarly, that is exactly what the world says to us by quoting objections for the need of physical fathers as well.  Satan did an excellent job of separating the family from God in the Garden of Eden and he is continuing that feat today when he exemplifies this plan through another divorce.  Satan does not care if you are German, Irish, Hungarian, Russian, Chinese, Sri Lankan or ANY other race, all he cares about is to divorce you and separate you from God and the Truth about our origins and who Created you.  It is easy for us to contemplate such sly activity from the world but how should we deal with it when this type of activity comes from the Church?  Do we even understand that this type of belief lies within the Church?  Both questions have been directed by Satan long enough that we must contend that this belief and teaching does exist within our hearts deep enough to make it a policy of life in those who consider themselves members of the Church.

Anytime someone says to themselves or to another that God is not the Father of the human race, doors are opened for Satan to rush in and take over the heart.  Our heart is a fertile soil and ripe for planting, the only problem is that many times we open our fields up to the wrong planter and the seeds that are sown into our hearts produce nothing but spiritual concrete.  When someone has such a lie as their standard, unity can never be in line for your inheritance or inhabitance.  It does not matter how hard one tries to unify yourself and others it shall not happen simply because of the source of your origin is divided from the Truth.  The Church is supposed to be the leader of such truth when it comes to God and who created us.  Unfortunately, we cannot say that this is 100% the case, for there are those ministers, leaders, and congregants who protest this fact and proclaim their own submission to their truth and not the Word of God.

It is a no brainer to think that the people of the world will challenge such wisdom and origins of humanity, but it is this aspect of our hearts that we must overcome well enough to minister to these wonderful people.  In no way should we ever degrade them or bring them down in any way, for the world has done a fabulous job at completing that task and if we continue to do this horrific act then all we are doing is helping Satan with his goal.  It is our job to listen to their complaints, their arguments, their anger, and their hurts so that we understand why they refuse to know God and His authorship of our lives.  Yes, it is frustrating to hear such lies being repeated but we can guarantee that they have heard those lies for a lot longer than you and I have been talking to them.  It is not the desire of God that anyone should perish and leave His presence, but if we are to stop this eternal death separation from God we must be out and about talking with those people that need Him.  I can also guarantee that if we open our hearts to the people who are willing to listen to our voices that we will see that their lives have been thoroughly ripped apart by the world and are naturally lashing out by the only way they know.

It often amazes me of how confusion and misdirection have become a “normal” part of our lives, so much that it seems like we cannot accept a short and straight path as one that represents the truth.  It is this verse that proclaims this truth about who holds our origins intact and in place, thus giving anyone who accepts this truth a solid foundation of who they are and what their mission and purpose in life is.  Ever since Adam and Eve were created God has had His representative present on this earth ones who are unique and separate from what the world offers, the true presentation of God and how we really should live.  Many leaders of the physical world have done their best to permanently silence God’s people but every one of them has failed, for God is eternal and He finds a way to provide the truth to all.  This is where the Church should be leading the charge in spreading this truth about the author of life to those who do not know Him.  Yet, for some reason, we have selfishly divided ourselves over worldly matters that we have faddishly accepted as our truth.  When we allowed such lies to penetrate our hearts it gave Satan the authority to split the truth about who is our origin and thus create an ineffective desire to speak the eternal Truth.  It was this same invasion of Adam and Eve’s hearts that won the day for sin and Satan and then made things more complicated for those who wish to follow in his pathways.  See, God is a clear, precise and simple God, One who likes to ensure that no misunderstanding is present at any time.  It was God who had one simple rule for mankind to obey, it was God who created mankind and it was God who put Adam in one place.

If humanity would stay focused on the Truth concerning our origins, our lives would be so much easier to live simply because God likes to keep things as easy as possible for His children.  When we begin to listen to our enemy it is at this time when our troubles begin to emerge.  Adam and Eve had no problems in their lives at all before they disobeyed God nor did they have to move out from their perfect living space because of such disobedience.  Their entertainment with the enemy led to the eventual downfall of their existence and placed them, and all of the future generations, into a category that is filled with lies and temptations.  Complications and adjustments were not in the plan of God when He made humanity, yet we tend to thrive on these terrorizing settings each day of our lives.  Why do we do such mannerisms, for they only bring us problems and issues that many of us steer toward to rid instead of fix?

Our origins are of a simple and complete nature formed by One eternal Being that continues to love us today.  He is not a father that will run away when times become difficult nor will He abandon us during times of joy and happiness either.  We do not have to deflect the truth about who Created us because our friends say it is foolish to believe in God nor do we have to completely admonish ourselves from what God has given us as well.  In all things, God began our existence and in all things God gives us freedom to glorify His name.  God is the author of our lives and of all life and when we live in this eternal Truth there can be no better way to take each breath.  We can cut out all of the ignorant and ridiculous mountains of options and follow the one True God as our foundation and mentor.  Church, let us return to this teaching of Truth and eternal Hope for those who need guidance in their lives.  The world shall always lead people astray and we need to be the messengers of eternal light to those who walk in the confusion of darkness because as long as we walk in this confusion there will be no True author of Life and no completeness either.
