PREVIOUS excerpts from God's Master Plan
Excerpts from page 77:
When the predetermined number of heavenly children has been reached, the reason for this temporary dimension will have run its course. It will no longer exist and the atoms will be packed away. It sounds impossible, but this is exactly what the Creator of the universe predicted for us.
Scientists have proof that entire galaxies can vanish into so-called black holes. Our galaxy has no indemnity against such a fate. This proves that the Word of God does not lie and that our galaxy is bound to disappear one day.
Excerpts from page 111:
By taking a closer look at Islam, people from Christianity, and other religions will have a better understanding of God’s Master Plan.
It seems to me that God has a very urgent message that he wants to get through to the followers of Islam. I have met quite a few of these people and have gotten to know a lot about their religious beliefs. My experience with followers of Islam is that they are warm and hospitable. Hospitality is fundamental to the Muslim way of life.
Excerpts from page 137:
This universe is the place where the Creator is awakening an eternal heavenly family for himself. When you comprehend God’s plan, you will realize that this, and this alone, is the reason for the existence of the universe.
Excerpt from page 142:
God has chosen you so that you can choose!
Excerpt from page 149:
What about those who have never heard?
Excerpts from page 165:
It is written in Daniel 12:10: “Many will be purified, made spotless and refined.” Thus, many will be newly reborn. God changes us and, as most of our experiences testify, this process is often painful. That is also why Jesus once said: “He who perseveres to the end will be saved.” Friend, do you still question why so much suffering is allowed to cross our paths? We must rid ourselves of our selfishness and our desire to rule in order to be able to enter heaven. That is a difficult process. That is part of “God’s Master Plan.”
A preacher once greeted his congregation with these words: “Work hard together so that you may become like the image of God.” Incorrect! He does not understand God’s plan yet. |

Excerpt from page 173:
When you fully comprehend God’s Master Plan, you will “know” that he is in complete control.
Excerpts from page 175:
When you start to read the Bible intensively and with the help of the Holy Spirit, you will discover an unexpected treasure among its pages.
This is God’s amazing Master Plan with the human being.
The Plan runs like a golden thread through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. The Master told us in person about this treasure that we can find in the Bible: “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.”
Excerpts from page 195:
Our hardship is God’s way of making us susceptible to his offer and of giving us an incentive to look for the eternal treasure. How else will we awaken from our deathly sleep?
Some of us have discovered the treasure already, but still suffer hardship. This is all part of God’s Master Plan to keep us in his hands so that we do not lose our way.
“…God disciplines us for our good that we may share in his holiness. [This is what it is all about!] No discipline seems pleasant at the time but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Excerpts from page 199 – 201:
Friend, we are so privileged! Our Father in heaven has made his Master Plan known to us in such an extraordinary way. [By understanding the words of this book, we] now know the true meaning of truth and reality. The visible dimension on earth is only a temporary space where the Creator-God is preparing his very own heavenly family. We are on earth because God, through his mercy, is offering us the opportunity and privilege to become children of our heavenly Father.
With this knowledge in our possession, we will know that God gives us the opportunity to invest in his kingdom. In doing so, we will be able to create a treasure for ourselves in heaven that will last forever. Are we going to give lower status to that which keeps us busy here on earth and give priority to the work of expanding the kingdom of God – or are we still going to cling to our own self-centered “master plans” for our lives that will lead to our own worthless little kingdom?
