INTRODUCTION

Us little humans simply don’t have capacity to even imagine – let alone see or understand – the sheer Almightiness of God Almighty. He really is God Almighty - Eternal Creator – of everything.

The NASA Hubble photo on the cover and flyleaf is a small portion of a very large photo of deep space between one and ten billion light years distant. There are around ten thousand galaxies visible in the full photo – which is of Creation beyond optical telescope range. That is 10,000 galaxies like our Milky Way, extra to what we knew about. Almighty Creator God has been at this a very long time.

We of the human race are faced with absolutes – lots of absolutes – and all are based on the fact of God Almighty and what he has done – what he is doing – and what he has set up for eternity – and our involvement in that. All the problems existing on Planet Earth are the result of ignoring these simple facts.

The “absolute” foundational fact of Existence is that God Almighty is Supreme Sovereign Potentate of all Creation – and everything else - he is The King of the Kingdom of God. He is World Governor of World Government. He is in fact – ultimately – “Absolute” World Dictator.

I try to help us understand that the God who has the ability and power - and longevity - to have produced all Creation – is the same God who set up humans on this Planet, and he did so for the simple reason that it is part of his long-term project.

God the Father is not just a religious concept - he is El Supremo. In fact - God doesn't "do religion". He tried it once and it didn't work. All religion actually achieved was to produce generations of very frustrated and confused people who quite simply could not follow the plan. So he abandoned religion and replaced it with life.

To be able to do this, God the Son became the man we know as Jesus Christ. This also is not religious fantasy. That’s what happened. And Jesus doesn’t “do religion” either. Instead, he took measures so as to be able to provide life for dead people. Further into this material we talk about how that happens.

God the Holy Spirit is on Planet Earth right now. He is here to direct the attention of people towards Jesus and Father God and he is the member of the God Family who infuses the life Jesus provides into the dead people who need it and who ask him for it. He has the assistance of small groups of people who work with him. These are folk who have come to recognise that Father God is indeed God – that Jesus Christ is indeed God who assumed human form for the specific purpose of getting humans reconciled back to Himself.

It is imperative we recognise who and what God is – what he is doing on Planet Earth. Why he made people. That the whole world understands that something of enormous consequence occurred at Bethlehem those many years ago – to the point that human history is divided into BC – Before Christ – or AD – Anno Domini – the Year of our Lord – or, “the years since Lord Jesus was born”. The whole world knows that something of ultimate significance happened on Skull Hill just outside Jerusalem in 33AD. That Jesus was crucified on this planet – the motive behind that. That the death and resurrection of Jesus is the most historically attested event in human history.

When God Almighty set up the human race on little Planet Earth – he knew what he was doing. Even when he gave humans capacity to reason and think and make decisions and take action and disobey and rebel and generally make idiots of themselves – he still knew what he was doing. In this day and age when the whole world is wallowing in confusion and with very real evil let loose everywhere you turn – God still knows what he is doing.

The fact of the whole matter is that everything that exists and everything that happens on Planet Earth and with humans, is part of a project that has been in progress since for ever. We are the new kids on the block, but we are very much part of it. We are built to be part of it. Father God deliberately designed and custom built humans and set us up on this planet for a specific purpose. He set in motion the processes that make things work. He told us how to do it. He made provision for us to be able to get back on track when we get off it.

We all know something has gone wrong. This material is intended for those men and women who are tired of the mess we have got ourselves into and who know something vital is missing from the way things should be.

What I have attempted in the pages that follow is to take us way back to before there was a human race and from there, discover what God had in mind when he said – “Let Us make a man.” The “way things should be” starts there.

I try to get us to catch a glimpse of the magnitude of the amazing, humongous, majestic magnificence of what we humans are intended to be and are destined to be part of.

Then I have to sadly say that we, whether Christian or pagan or anything in between, right now, are missing what God intended by a very long country mile.

We can’t get away from God – from who he is – from what he is. Try as we might, we can’t get away from Jesus and his crucifixion and resurrection. I know it is political correctness all over the world right now, to proclaim vigorously that God Almighty no longer exists – to remove his commandments from court houses and to outlaw prayer in schools. Governments across the globe have run him out of the country. Schools and universities everywhere are pounding into our youth that God and Creation is a myth. Society all over the planet is getting along nicely with no God to interfere with their lifestyle. So watch the TV news tonight to see how that is working out.

Jesus said he would “build his church” – which is the small groups of people mentioned a couple of pages back - to be the force he would use for getting the affairs of Planet Earth back to the way Father God originally established – but I have to say that our existing Western church does not bear ANY resemblance to what Jesus was talking about. What was intended to be the representation of God Almighty on Planet Earth has pretty much degenerated into being just a clergy dominated, platitudinous, recovery and maintenance operation. And in many cases, it is not even that. Simply a motivational lecture or entertainment venue. We talk about how that situation can be fixed.

I talk about what will happen when the Church really becomes the Body of Christ – and that’s going to happen – enabling Holy Spirit freedom to move into the Church with you and out from within the Church with you into your communities and secular world and government.

I say things for which the Establishment would have had me burnt at the stake not many centuries ago. Some of you will be terribly disturbed with what I say about the Bible, but which is the checkable, historical fact of the matter. We have been fed a very great deal of religious tradition this past several hundred years, and we have come to believe the traditions must be the fact. They are not.

I advise folk to stop gazing into the heavens looking for Jesus to come back and take us out of this mess. It’s not going to happen. When he comes, it will be to claim his Bride. The Bride is supposed to be making herself ready. He is coming for a Church that is without spot of wrinkle.

Right???

I don’t expect he’ll be coming back any time soon.

I say it’s up to us to get the conditions fixed that will enable Jesus to return. God commissioned us humans to be responsible for the affairs on Planet Earth. We have made a right royal mess of it. It is our job now to get the mess cleaned up.


Chapter 1

WE START HERE

They call it a “Zygote” – a Greek word meaning “joined or yoked”. It is a human cell about 50 times smaller than the diametre of one of your hairs.

Of all the wonders of Creation and of Eternity – in the Heavens or on Earth – the Zygote stands supreme. You need a powerful microscope to be able to see it – yet here is the pinnacle of Creation – the ultimate revelation of the heart and soul of our Creator.

This is a human female egg cell which has just invited a male sperm cell to come in for coffee –and an out-of-this-world-getting-to-know-you party is in full swing. These two are made for each other. In just moments, the 23 chromosomes the male sperm has brought with him are reaching out and pairing off with the 23 chromosomes the egg cell had ready waiting for him. Within just minutes – we are no longer dealing with sperms and egg cells – we have a brand new living person packaged up in a bundle you can’t even see. The egg cell and the sperm cell have now become one completed cell – not two. They call it a Zygote. They are well and truly “joined”.

When God made our prototype parents in the garden so very long ago – he built into them the capacity to make more people like themselves.

Father God set up this arrangement so that what he built Adam to be on Planet Earth would continue to be down through the human race for as long as Earth remained. Six thousand years later – the system is still working fine – but humans have made a real mess of it.

That Zygote in the opening paragraph has within it the same capacity as was built into Adam. As we say further into this material – when God breathed himself into Adam – that is what he did. He actually breathed the essence of being God Almighty into Adam. The intention being that Adam and the whole human race, would continue on being the “likeness and image” of God Almighty.

The stupendous fact is – that when God Almighty built our prototype in Eden, he was made to the same specifications as God himself. God Almighty made Adam in his own “image and likeness”. Adam was made a duplicate of God Almighty. The human race was designed and built to be the same as God is, to be sons and daughters in the family of God, friends of God, co-workers with God, governors with God of everything involving this planet. We are unique. There is nothing like us in all creation.

SO - WHAT WENT WRONG?

What people think or don’t think, believe or don’t believe, has nothing to do with it. The FACT is that God also gave Adam a no-brainer – and Adam blew it. His instructions were – you can eat anything you like from all these thousands of fruit trees on these many square miles of orchard – but there is one tree from which you are forbidden to eat. Just one tree. You must not eat any fruit from that tree over there in the middle of the garden. This is a serious matter – take it seriously – because the day you eat anything from that tree – that day you will surely die. The original words are “die-die”. A very emphatic statement.

The plain recorded historic fact is – Adam did eat that fruit – and he die-died.

But the Bible tells us he lived on for another more than nine hundred years. Do we have a contradiction here? Did God make a mistake? Was he exaggerating?

Adam did die the same day he deliberately disobeyed God Almighty. The God-life that had been breathed into his nostrils the day he was made – was withdrawn. God Almighty does not even attempt to co-exist with rebellion and disobedience. Adam the man lived on. He fathered a large family. But the God-life that had made him complete was no longer there. He was now incomplete. He could no longer function as he was built to function.

That state of incompleteness has been passed on through all the generations of people – right down to us. We are automatically born dead. We need an infusion of life so we can live life as we were designed and intended to live.

However – with six thousand years to practice the skills until we have rebellion and disobedience and defiance of God Almighty down to a fine art - the whole world has become a seething cauldron of confusion and violence and fear and extreme wickedness in high places. The world is a crazy mess. World leadership is a crazy mess. Nations are a crazy mess. World finance is a crazy mess. Families and people are a crazy mess.

However - like it or not - believe it or not – God Almighty IS God Almighty – and he is still in charge. It is because the whole world has chosen to ignore this fact, we have all these crazy situations.

What Creator God set in motion in the garden is the way things were intended to be – and at the end of the day – that is how things are going to be.

And the instrument Father God has established to get things back to where they are intended to be - is – wait for it – THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

We in the Christian Church were told the crazy mess was coming, and now it is here. This is not a trial run. It’s on now. So, throughout the Western world, we would expect to see the churches and the Christian people getting into their combat gear and lining themselves up to take out this satanic invasion - as we were told to and are expected to.

But it’s not happening. Church is still waffling around in a thick miasmic – means: “it stinks” – pale blue fog. The ministry is still waffling around with whatever their particular beef is. The Western Church is a non-event.

This is a huge problem – so let’s fix it.

In spite of the “amazing humungous majestic magnificence” built into Adam, we have gotten so far off course, us humans have degenerated into being what would have to be the most profoundly, stupidly, unintelligent species of Creation ever to have existed.

We decided we don’t need God.

Without God - vital function cannot operate. Minds stop working. We live in a dream-state - reason switched off. For instance, we all know we can die at any moment, and in any case are most unlikely to live for even one hundred years. We KNOW there is “life after death”. I don’t care what brain washing you have exposed yourself to – or what you have talked yourself in to or out of. You KNOW there has to be a Creator behind all that Creation.

We know that sooner or later we are going to find ourselves face to face with God Almighty. We know Eternity stretches ahead of us forever – and just look at us.

And all the time, we were set up to be sons and daughters of Most High God. To be as he is. To live eternally as a member of his household with all the rights and privileges that go with it. It’s time for some really serious thinking.

The rest of this book is aimed at getting you back to where God intends you to be. You need to read it all. There is a lot of eternally vital, life changing information for you to get your teeth into. So, let’s get into it.


As a race, we have developed such a casual attitude towards God Almighty - and that goes double for church folk who at least know – or should know - what is going on. Eternity is forever, and we only have our few years here to get our act together concerning Eternity and God’s intentions for us humans.

HOWEVER - regardless of the mess we have got ourselves into, there is something that very few folk ever come to grips with. In spite of everything - GOD LOVES YOU. He is not out to “get you”. God’s love for you is unconditional. Your sinning saddens him or even disgusts him – but does not surprise him - and does not in any way alter the deep love he has for you. And he is yearning for you to love him back.

The reason for the empty feeling that plagues most folk is that we have ignored the fact that God loves us. So many folk live with that gnawing discontent – the vague emptiness inside that has them grasping for something – anything - to make it all go away. And, let’s not kid ourselves – we know. The knowledge is built into us.

Every man, woman and child on Planet Earth KNOWS God is.


We humans are designed and built to be a union of life with God Almighty, and when he is missing from our lives, we just plain cannot be at peace with ourselves - or anyone else.


That “God shaped hole” inside every one of us cannot be filled with anything except God and it is impossible for you to find fulfilment or to be content with anything if God is missing from your life.

It is like epoxy glue. It comes in two tubes – a white tube and a red tube. The material in either tube is quite useless alone. The same amount of paste from both tubes must be thoroughly blended until it becomes a homogeneous - means: “uniform” - compound that can’t be separated. The adhesive from tube “A” must have the same amount of catalyst from tube “B” added, or the adhesive won’t work. Neither of the two parts can function independently. Both need each other to be able to fulfil their destiny. It is the same with God Almighty and us. We are the adhesive - he is our Catalyst. We must be well mixed in equal parts until we are a homogeneous entity. Adding God to our life completes us and makes us functional. And – adding God to our lives completes God too. He made us because he needs us. It’s not a one sided arrangement.

We can be the glitziest BMW, or a moth eaten old Vee Dub – but unless we have a fully charged battery connected, gasoline in the tank and oil in the sump – we are both just so much scrap iron and are going nowhere. That’s the way it works. A top-of-the-range luxury motor vehicle without a battery and petrol and oil is just cluttering up space.

(I have added a “how to” section beginning page 201 that may help with getting the battery connected.)

Last year I had a new computer custom built. It’s a bit of a beast – dual AMD 3000 MHz processors, 500 gig hard drive, 4 gig memory and all that stuff. So there it sits. Good looking pretty black cabinet – but just sitting there, it is just a box full of very expensive junk. Before it can be of any use to anyone – it needs an Operating System such as Windows to be installed, and it needs to be plugged into a power source. That black box is still cluttering up space until the power is switched on and the OS is activated. But now - because the power is switched on and Windows is doing it’s thing - here I am writing a book with it – and a whole heap more.

Until God Almighty is installed and activated in our lives and the power connected and switched on – oil in the sump and petrol in the tank – mixed and blended - it is impossible for us to function as we were built to function.

So people resort to doing really weird stuff trying to squelch that growling hunger for reality and substance. One Sunday afternoon years ago, I drove past a football field on end-of-season final day, and saw thousands of people standing on earth mounds in pouring pelting rain, watching a bunch of palookas chasing a lump of wind wrapped in pig skin, up and down the paddock. That is desperation with a capital DESP. People ingest, inhale and inject all kinds of chemicals into their bodies to try to dull the ache and fill the hole that only God can fill. People pull unimaginable obscenities and perversions and wacky stuff. Some people spend their whole life trying to accumulate money and things. Some play musical chairs with husbands and wives and family. Some people even go to church and frust their way through all manner of tedium. It’s all the same thing. It doesn’t work. Nothing works. You know it doesn’t work.

Look, God did not build people to slosh around in misery and defeat all our lives. He built us to be as he is – to be rulers and leaders and winners. He made us to enjoy our life in Earth. His intention is for us to live in “abundant life” and love and joy and peace, and develop into being the person we are designed to be. He has provided the operating system and connection and switched on power. Why settle for less???

I was virtually born in church, and have had opportunity to observe church programs and Christian religious carry-on over a very long time. I guess it was during my early 20s I was beginning to realise that what we were and what we were doing was really not what the Bible said church is – or what we are – or what we should be doing.

Let me say quickly however, that religion and involvement with church programs – is NOT Christianity. A lot of Christians get messing with religion, and most are involved in some form of church activity. But religion and church and being a Christian are three very different topics.

No religious ceremony is able to make you a Christian and it does not matter what the ceremony is. You can engage in any religious performance you can imagine - it doesn’t work. You can have enough theology diplomas and degrees and doctorates to paper the side of a barn – (I suppose they would have to be useful for something). You can be a five star, card carrying arch-bishop. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you are - if God Almighty has not taken up residence in you and is the functional life in you – you haven’t got it.

Being a Christian is like being married. Two lives are joined together. You and Jesus. “Christian” actually means “Christ-one”. Mary Jones marries John Smith and so becomes Mary Smith. We are joined to Jesus Christ and so become Christ-one. It is not like joining a club. The clubs we join or where we work have no bearing on the fact of our marriage union. Being the member of a Church does not make us a Christian.
