Visionaries desire an ideal world (see Matt. 5:6). In an ideal world everyone would think, speak and live in harmony with God, family, neighbors and government. Everyone would eat the exact amount of food and work to keep the body at the perfect weight. This is possible. At least we should believe it to be (see Phil. 4:8).

Dr. Charles Stanley states that, “No one would like to be in a form physically, Spiritually and every other way in which you had no choices in life. You are just a robot. Everyday of your life this is how you operate.” Charles Stanley implies that no one would want that. The problem with choices is that man can make bad choices, and left alone by God, man will degenerate to where his choices are all bad, as in the day of Noah (see Gen. 6:5). Man has too many harmful choices, which appeal to the majority (see Matt. 7:13). Choices that appear to benefit self are later discovered to be a liability to self and others. The decision-making mind of man rarely chooses the way of life (see Matt. 7:14). I desire everyone to act like sons and daughters of God, obedient to a high level, similar to a robot. "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." Matt. 6:10

People who care about others are medicine in the land. In contrast, some believe the land is plagued with narcissism. A narcissist is overly infatuated with self. He or she is all about their image; seen in their clothing and attitude of superiority. A narcissist is rarely depressed since they do not have empathy or concern for others. A narcissist may be highly educated or not. “Once you get a diploma from this college, no one will tell you what to do, instead you will tell others what to do,” boasts their college professor. A narcissist likes for you to ask them to do something, so they can enjoy not doing it. Narcissistic leaders are problematic whether political, secular or religious. Narcissism is most common with personal relationships. You may know someone with this personality disorder. Don’t throw rocks at a narcissist, because the seed is in everyone. It flows from pride, an unholy trait manifested by separation from God. Instead, pray for narcissists. And keep your focus on Jesus Whom demonstrated the highest concern for others (see Hebrews 12:2). That is why the disciples loved Jesus. They never saw the seed of narcissism in Him.

If a nation went to war and destroyed all enemy nations and the conquering nation was left with only friendly nations, due to the existence of invisible evil forces, some of the friendly nations would become enemies and the conquering nation would be back where it started from before the war (see Obadiah 1:7).

Every soul, with his or her will, belongs to the Lord and He will judge in righteousness (see Ezek. 18:4). The sins of those not written in the Lamb’s book of life will suffer in the lake of fire until the wrath and justice of God is satisfied (see Luke 16:23-25). Then they will perish or be annihilated (see John 3:16). His mercy endures forever, not His wrath (see Num. 25:11)...pages 33,124: Rare Spiritual Robotics

The glory of God is when the Creator can control His creation, man, to a high level contrary to the will of man. Consider an American pastor's desire to see his or her congregation grow, perhaps take the whole corner block___for the glory of God. However, this is the will of pastor. A passerby may wonder, “Who is the pastor of this great church?” Is this for the glory of God? Yet Peter was told that he (Peter) would have to do something against his will for the glory of God by stretching out his hands and die on a cross. Therefore, a large congregation might glorify God when the high possibility of death exists for new members, as is the case in hostile countries. Again, the glory of God is revealed when the Creator can control His creation, man, to a high level contrary to the will of man. (see John 21:18-19; Rom. 4:18-20) This is by faith; the DNA code of God when planted in a human heart produces a righteous walk in step with the will of God. There is nothing wrong with a large house of worship, but consider how the Lord Jesus Christ glorified His Father by obedience to suffer on a cross, while the magnificent temple in Jerusalem was destroyed because the focus of the temple changed to glorify man.
