BY JEREMY LOPEZ
 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee
(intimacy, union); and before thou camest forth
out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained
thee a prophet unto the nations.
- Jeremiah 1:5
 Dedication

I dedicate this book to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Without you, I would be nothing. But with you I can
accomplish anything. You are my life and strength.
Thank you for showing me what grace, mercy, and love
is all about. May your kingdom come and your will be
done on earth as it is in Heaven. Like Isaiah once said,
Here I am, send me. Use me to display your love in the
earth until every nation is filled with You and only You.

This book is also dedicated to my parents, Pastors Jim

and Jeannie Lopez. You both have been the best example
of Gods love I have ever known. You have been my
inspiration and anchor through the good and the bad.
May the glory of God continue to shine upon you both
with grace, mercy and peace all the days of your life. You
both awakened to your divine destiny and fulfilled it
before the Lord. I love you both very much.

I also would like to thank David vanCronkhite for being
an amazing mentor, teacher and friend. You have taught
me how to remove what religion has put on me and
shown me to be the me that God created. You have
never stopped showing me and teaching me what Agape
kind of love is all about. My prayer is that the world
would come to know this amazing Agape of God that has
changed my life forever.

To all those at Identity Network. Thank you for your

hard work, dedication and support. May His grace shine
upon you guys always.

 Endorsements
You are put on this earth with incredible potential and a
divine destiny. This powerful, practical man shows you how
to tap into powers you didnt even know you had.
BRIAN TRACY
AUTHOR, THE POWER OF SELF-CONFIDENCE

As I started reading this manuscript I was reminded of the

prophetically poignant words of Jacob Boehme, the great
German mystic. The end of all things is found in the
beginning of all things. Abandoned to Divine Destiny takes
the reader on a trek through time to that beginning of all
things where there is only God and you.
Like a spiritual surgeon Jeremy seeks to reverse the effects of
religious inoculations that have prevented you from
envisioning your divine destiny and experiencing the
spiritual realities that surround you.
Like a spiritual director he endeavors to undo the religious
programming that entangles you in a web of ecclesiastical
activity that keeps you from your purpose in God.
In trinitarian pillow talk, as Robert Farrar Capon describes

9
it, both the Word and the Spirit are whispering your name in
the ear of the Father. Jeremy unveils those words spoken in
the beginning of time that plans and plots out your destiny.
Abandoned to Divine Destiny reminds us that our destiny is
not in our future; it is right here and right now. These
prophetically penned words will encourage you and lift you
up out of the smog of the religious city into that place of a
pollution-free and spiritual environment where you can see
your destiny and the things planned for you in the heart of
the Father in the very beginning of time.
I pray that you will read this book with faith and allow it to
change you. I also pray that you will recommend it to your
family and friends. This is a book written for this
generation.

Abandoned to Divine Destiny is Jeremy Lopez's MUST read

book. He has drawn from the wells of his prophetic anointing
very insightful revelation for us today. Securing the reader in
a fortress of truth. Making those who chose to walk in these
spirit life principles to stand taller and speak clearer about
their God chosen destiny. You will enjoy this book but even
better it will make you a bigger on the inside of your
personality.

Those who know Jeremy Lopez know he knows the signs of
the times and he continues to prove that he also knows what
to do. This book Abandoned to Divine Destiny provides
wisdom and understanding of identity, value and worth
combined with prophetic insights of the days ahead. He is
especially careful to show the condition of the Church that he
so loves in a way that awakens all to the depth of change
coming. You will be provoked, challenged and forced to engage
in what God is doing in these days as you invest in hearing
what Jeremy could report only by hearing from God.
DAVID VANCRONKHITE

Abandoned to Divine Destiny takes us on a journey from

the beginning of our lives until an ending with God that has
no end. Jeremy Lopez masterfully presents the Kingdom, the
Power, and the Glory of God in us and through us, and that
the Seed of Everything has been in us and working for us
before the foundation of the world. It is a transformational
book that challenges you to rethink what you have been
taught while reflecting more deeply upon the truth you have
come to know. The journey though this book is prophetic,
mystical, and magical, as you come to know who you really
are for all eternity. I heartily recommend it.

According as he hath chosen us in him before the

Ephesians 1:4

 Chapter 1
Spelunking in the Cave of Reality

Just before He launched this grand adventure, a

very mysterious thing took place in God. In His
very center an event occurred which no other eye
was ever to see, no other mind ever to conceive
the greatest mystery of all the ages.
A thousand-million portions of God burst upward
in escalating light. Each of these portions of God
ignited into flaming brilliance as if to proclaim
that each had been chosen even marked off for
some special, distant, destiny.
What was this?
No one knew, for there was no one to know. And
no one would know, for it was a secret that would
remain hidden almost to the end. Nor could any
mind, save Gods, ever conceive the profundity of
this vast mystery. An infinite mystery, hidden in
God.
The Divine Romance, Gene Edwards

Abandoned to Divine Destiny

Before there was anything - before the fifteen

billion historic years of the roughly sextillion particles
that are in existence, before one hundred billion stars
and their planetary systems, before time or space,
matter and non-matter, certainly before a lonely male
tree frog would conceive of belting out his mating call,
before any living thing - before even nothingness, there
were two things in existence.
There was God. And there was you.
This is not quite true, of course. Here I have to
confess that our chat about the truth behind everything
began with me using a bit of misdirection.
Of course, we must recognize that words are
limiting things - we dance around their inadequacies,
hedging our bets at what will and will not be said or
heard. Words, best understood, are little more than
houses we construct to shelter the realities that live
within them. The actual experience they contain is
what is significant, what is real. The words themselves
are metaphors that change with each passing age and
context. And yet - these houses of the holy are
somehow necessary shelters; raised, then leveled, then
raised again (even on the third day), in order to give
form to the formless, to express the inexpressible. We

20
 Spelunking in the Cave of Reality

are forever indebted to these fragile incarnations called

words.
And having said all of this then, allow me to clarify
my earlier remarks - before there was anything - before
there was even nothing - in a time predating time, and
a space beyond space - when only two things existed,
God and you - there were not two things at all There
was actually only One.
God.
God was all and God was only. God was completely
alone - and yet God was complete.
God, in every direction.
God was everywhere, because God was everything.
And God was absolute - and God was absolutely all.
God, unlimited.
In the distant future, fiery infernos would blaze and
give heat and light to planets, to Earth, and to each of
its inhabitants. A newborn infant would blink in
wonder at the effulgence of a neighboring star. The
brilliant burning of dancing lights in the heavens
would fuel a trillion actions and events. And yet, each
of these find their origin in the initial burst of Flame
and Fire that was here in the being of God.

21
Abandoned to Divine Destiny

God was endless Light.

Shimmering, blistering, translucent clarity. Light as
purity. Light as purpose and direction. Light as vision.
Light as life. For nothing can be conceived in darkness
- shadow will nurse that which already exists, it will
tend to and maturate and shape, but creation alone
lives in a world of trembling light.
And if you could peal the curtains back on this
revelatory, churning, foaming ocean of light that was
God as he existed in time immemorial, you would find
yourself peering at the very heart of everything that
would one day come into being. What was there? What
lies at the center of the Divine creative impulse?
When the thunderclap sound that birthed
everything resounded, when streaming particles of
light emerged, when space and time unfurled their
conjoined selves, the billowing event of the universe
expanded in one direction - Life.
Through a billion years of stony silence - where all
seemed to be still, and hopelessly devoid of purpose,
the universe was shaped. Then at last galaxies exploded
and collided and renewed themselves. Five billion
years, in which Primordial stars - resembling in
fraction only the originating source they had come

22
 Spelunking in the Cave of Reality

from - were created and then died, giving their life for
expansive planetary systems. Roughly five billion years
ago our Milky Way defined its own borders. The Sun
escaped from a cloud of gas and heat, and gathered to
itself Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
Neptune, Pluto - and our Earth.
Earth, situated at a pristine distance from the Sun,
saw a flux of primal cells, given a unique chance within
the entirety. A score of years unfolded as Gods Spirit
hovered over the primordial waters of this planet. Cells
merged with molecules - elements and atoms -
becoming creatures, shifting shape into higher and still
higher forms of livingness. Then, just four million or
so years ago a mixture of soil and saturation - mud -
found life breathed into it, and walked on dry land.
Though I will spare you great detail of how exactly all
of this occurred, this wonder now walking was called
humanity. It is unique among all life, anywhere.
The reason I mention any of this is simply to say:
This apex of creativity was at home in the heart of God
before humanitys first breath was ever drawn. Not yet
written in blood and bone - yet colored as Gods own
essence, as spirit, it existed. That is how I can say, with
great fear and trembling - there were two things, yet
truly one thing, There was God, and there was you -
23
Abandoned to Divine Destiny

you were there, enfolded in the heart of One so purely

Love that both Father and Mother fail to adequately
encompass this womb of nurture.
What, I wonder, is encoded on the core of this
Divine artistic source?
You, it would seem, are the creative heart of God.
Divine Lifes ultimate end and immense beginning is
housed as You.
Today we exist as flesh and blood beings. We seem
to be skeletons underneath it all, bones like piano keys
playing the music of our lives. And this is a truth about
us God in eternal past was so full of life and vitality
that he just had to let it out and show it off. God
manifested creation from invisible to visible, tangible
to tangible and God names it Good. (See Genesis 1).
Matter matters, and our embodiment is important.
Even so, our existence as flesh and blood beings is a
relative truth, subject to our continuous emanation
from our Source. The full truth is that we are spirit.
Essence of Gods essence. Life of Gods life. The
originating source of the universe is what lies cloaked
inside our skin and as our skin. And this changes
everything.
As we awaken to the fact that we were inside of

24
 Spelunking in the Cave of Reality

God before there was anything, just as a child lies

inside her mothers womb - our lives are transformed.
We are invigorated with a sense of purpose. How could
we not be? How could a being that is as ancient as God
is not have a purpose? How could Life, which is as
inseparable from God as our fingers are to our hand,
not be laden with meaning?
In fact - Life cant. It must have a destiny. What is
its destiny - its ultimate end? Simply put, the resolution
of your being is to discover itself there, in God - as you
were, as you always are, and always will be. Your end is
your beginning.
In God.
