Jesus Christ existed before he came to earth in the flesh. (John 1:1). So did we, like the prophet Jeremiah, who was told, "Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee." (Jeremiah 1:4,5). We are literally the offspring of God in the spirit. In our pre-mortal life, we were given the opportunity to come to this earth to receive a body and to be tested as part of our eternal progression.Central to this joyous plan of progression is the exercise of our free will--agency. How we choose to use this agency will determine the outcome of our life's journey and final destination.Lucifer introduced his so-called "plan of salvation" before we came down to this earth. Lucifer's proposal was to eliminate agency and in exchange, guarantee the salvation of all, and claim the right to unseat God and take all the glory. Many agreed with his plan, and many did not. We went to war over which plan we would support. Ultimately, God's plan was adopted, this eternal plan is based upon eternal principles, which honor our agency. A plan of redemption was required when we fall short. Unfortunately, one-third of our brothers and sisters followed Lucifer; consequently, they did not obtain bodies, and were cast out of heaven and down upon this earth along with Lucifer (Revelation 12; Jude 1:6).The war that began in heaven is being played out upon the earth today. Lucifer still wants to usurp God's power and position and convince us we were wrong in accepting His plan. Lucifer and his followers are working hard to destroy our agency through those who do not support God's plan. These individuals are convinced that we are incapable of righteously exercising our inherent agency. They seek to control and dominate us.In this podcast, I discuss with returning guest, Shawn White, the painstaking preparations that we made concerning our lives, the destiny of the earth, and humankind--long before we ever came here to live. This is a six-part series.
