Is God a Conspirator?

“It’s a conspiracy I tell ya!“ 

 The internet is filled with conspiracy theories: 

  • A second shooter in JFK’s assassination

  • The moon landing was filmed in a Hollywood studio

  • Chemtrails

  • Flat earth

  • The New England Patriots

  • The Clintons

  • The Bidens

  • The Trump

  • The Coronavirus 

…..and the list goes on. 

 What is a conspiracy theory?

It’s a theory seeking to explain a disputed case or matter as a plot by a secret group or alliance rather than an individual or isolated act. To conspire means “to join or act together; to plan or plot secretly.”  

Now most conspiracies are concerned with committing a crime or subversive act. But could there not be conspiracies for good?

Here is an undisputed fact (unless you are a conspiracy theorist): In everyday of your life, in fact, in every decision you make there are two conspiracies going on. 

One is plotting subversive acts and the other is plotting good acts.  

These two groups are none other than the devil and his demons and God. Now we know the devil and his demons are constantly scheming against us to keep us from knowing God.  The Bible says in 1 Peter 5:8 “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.”  

But what about God you say, “how can He be a conspirator when your definition of conspiracies and conspirators states that they are alliances not individuals that act together to plan secretly?” 

Because God is an alliance. 

He is God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit. 

Three in one, the Triune God. 

Jeremiah 29:11 states- “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

Ephesians 2:10 tells us “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew inChrist Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” 

God has a plan for every one of us that He ordained before the beginning of time and His plan is kept secret until we are ready to carry out the next step of that plan.  God even has the answer for us when the devil tries to tempt us with his own evil plan in 1 Corinthians 10:13 “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit always have our backs! Sounds like a conspiracy to me!

 So there are two conspiracies out there, one for good and one for evil.

Which conspiracy are you going to work for?
