Spiritual Creation Before Physical—Weekly Schedule and Avatars

See how spiritual preparation shapes action. Discover your divine design and learn how to map your journey toward purpose and discipleship.

From Spiritual Creation to Physical Reality

Every creation begins with a divine blueprint. Before plants grew on the earth, they existed spiritually. Before you stepped onto this mortal plane, you were created by loving, exalted parents who mapped your potential and saw the glory of what you could become. In like manner, for you to fulfill your divine destiny, you must begin with spiritual creation—seeing, planning, and designing what you wish to bring into reality.

Faith is not mere hope; it is the mental exertion prepared and brought to life through words, for “it is by words instead of exerting physical powers, with which every being works when he works by faith.” “Faith, then, works by words; and with these its mightiest works have been, and will be performed.” God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Joshua spoke, and the great lights stood still. Elijah commanded the heavens to withhold rain, and it was so; he spoke again, and the rain returned. Words are the means through which the greatest works of faith are performed. What will you speak into existence today? What divine vision will you articulate and act upon? “God said, Let there be light, and there was light.” Joshua spoke, and the great lights stood still. Elijah commanded the heavens to withhold rain, and it was so; he spoke again, and the rain returned. Faith works by words, for words are the means through which the greatest works of faith are performed. What will you speak into existence today? What divine vision will you articulate and act upon?

Just as the Lord organized the heavens and the earth, you are called to organize your efforts with care and intention. “Organize yourselves,” He said, “prepare every needful thing.” Your thoughts, plans, and actions are the spiritual seedlings of the abundant life you are meant to grow. If you feel unsure of how to map your path, find a sounding board, seek divine guidance, or use tools like AI to refine your plans and clarify your vision. When you work by faith, you work by mental exertion instead of physical force: “it is by words instead of exerting physical powers, with which every being works when he works by faith.” Faith, then, works by words; and with these its mightiest works have been, and will be performed. To bring about the design of a home, for example, you must first envision it, then exercise your faith by speaking to an architect who translates the vision into plans. A general contractor then fulfills the plans. It starts with an idea, worked out with mental exertion and expressed in words, before physical creation follows.

Avatars We Serve

You are not alone in your journey. Whether you’re like Michael, seeking to lead your family spiritually while aligning your professional life with your divine calling, or like Sarah, balancing life’s demands while sharing your talents online, this plan is for you.

Both Michael and Sarah are striving to “publish peace” and “be light,” becoming builders not only of their own empire but of God’s kingdom come—glorifying Him in all they do. Knowing that when they sacrifice the natural man, by yielding to the enticings of the Holy Ghost, they partake of the divine nature and Emulate Christ in the process. It is about getting lost in the service of your fellowmen in your own unique ways. What step will you take today to join them?

Reflection

You were created with divine intent and purpose. What will you spiritually create today that will blossom into action tomorrow? What will you write, map, or plan as the first step toward your divine design?
