ALTERED BY INCEPTION

ALTERED BY INCEPTION
(Deep Crying Unto Deep)

  I saw a movie last night called “Inception.” It is a story of intrigue, action, and deep mysteries that involve entering into the deep subconscious of a person by invading their dream world and planting seeds of thoughts and perceptions that will work together to rearrange their concept of reality and result in altered behavior.

  I picked up a devotional today and read about God’s grace acting deep within a man to actually change that man in his very core so that he emerges from an entirely new heritage unto the fulfillment of an altered life.

  This all makes me think of a poem (see below) I wrote years ago that speaks of ‘God’s Plan’ to enter into the deepest part of a man with seeds of Divine Love in order to free him from the entrapments of self effort and self determination and take him into the ‘dream world’ of redemptive grace where old thought patterns and habits of the flesh are transformed simply by the ‘inception’ of deepest love into the deepest part of a waiting heart.

  Such a reality takes on the form of a dream as we discover the ‘ease’ of true obedience and are no longer burdened by the ‘performances’ that are demanded of us by false religious form. We are liberated into the ‘dream world’ of an altered conscience based solely on the deepest interactions with ‘Heavenly Bliss.”

God’s Plan

True obedience
Is a thing of the heart
It’s not some show
As playing a part

It’s not an I have to or
 An I must do this
But a response to the promise
Of heavenly bliss

That’s planted deep
Within the conscience of a man
That through right choices
He fulfills God’s plan

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was formless ad void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
