Inception - Implanting of Idea

Inception?

Ya, inception…

From Hollywood…?

No, this is Holy Word…!

I watched this movie together with my family about a week ago after a strong recommendation from my sons. My two boys went with us again after they have watched this movie the night before. This movie was quite confusing at first, but Adrian was quick to guard me... to understand their dreams.

This film, a variant on the heist genre, centers on Dom Cobb, an "extractor", who enters the dreams of others to obtain information that is otherwise inaccessible. His abilities and questions about the death of his wife have cost him his family and his nationality, but he is promised a chance to regain his old life in exchange for planting an idea in a corporate target's mind. This process of planting of an idea, known as "inception", is less familiar and far more difficult than Cobb's usual job of "extraction".

This act of "inception" is to secretly implanting an idea in a person's mind so as to change the course of that person’s action. This idea could be a virus in a person’s mind when the bearer started meditating on it. The first inception in the entire human race took place in the Garden of Eden when the serpent implanted doubt into Eve’s mind.

Genesis 3:1b ~ Did God really say, “You must not eat from any tree in the Garden?”

We can read in the Bible that God gave Adam and Eve freely all the trees in the Garden to eat from, including the Tree of Life which was in the midst of the Garden… except the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. In God’s eye, the Tree of Life is in the midst of the Garden. This mean to say He sees life in the midst of us and He put life as a center focus and that is why He offered up Jesus to give us this abundant life…

When the act of inception came from the serpent, instead of seeing the Tree of Life in the midst of the Garden, Eve saw the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the midst… Instead of speaking what God has spoken, she spoke contradictorily to what God has spoken.

Genesis 3:2-3 ~ The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruits from the trees in the Garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruits from the tree that is in the middle of the Garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die’”

Do not entertain doubt. Do not let anyone make you doubtful of the Father’s love for you. The Father had given up His One and Only Begotten Son just for you. He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE KILLED ALL DAY LONG; WE ARE ACCOUNTED AS SHEEP FOR THE SLAUGHTER." Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Christ died on the cross to give us Good News, the Gospel of Grace. If anyone come preaching to you other than Good News, the Gospel of Grace, beware, an agent from the lying camp is on a mission of   “Inception”, trying to implant doubt into your mind…

Matthew 16:6 ~ “Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Have you been "incepted"?

1 Corinthians 5:7 ~ Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
