FROM THE PROPHETS CHAMBER – WEEK EIGHTY-ONE
SON – AMBASSADOR – HEIR – PART THREE
Greetings dear brothers and sisters in Christ and welcome back to From the Prophets Chamber. Today I will continue with installment three teaching from the same passages of primary Scripture hopefully bring additional light to us all, a renewal of our minds. Please take a moment to share this teaching as widely as possible by every means available to you. Thank you for sharing. Now let’s plunge into our primary Scriptures reading out loud. We read out loud to build our faith and because our faith pleases our Heavenly Father. In fact, it is impossible to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6).
2 Corinthians 5:17-20 (KJV)
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
Romans 8:17 (KJV)
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
As you know I have been focused on the word ‘new’ which means to have never existed before in 2 Cor 5:17. We are not only new as one like us never having existed but we are just a little lower than, second only to, our Triune God. Wow, do we believe this? We must believe this, be fully persuaded in order to function as our Heavenly Father has intended from the beginning. He is looking for us to govern the Kingdom of God under His direction. That means to fully exercise His delegated authority and in such a way that His Power can flow in and through us without restraint. At this time let’s look at our creation and Gods’ original intent.
Genesis 1:26-28 (KJV)
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Here we see the God’s idea, original intent, for mankind. This new creature was to look like and act like God, the Triune God. This man would have dominion (authority) over all the earth, every aspect. He created them male and female. And He gave them the Holy Spirit (Blessing) to back up their authority and get all they (man) commanded done. Next, we see the creation of man, first the body from the dust of the ground then the very essence of God was breathed into this body and man became a living soul (spirit (living), soul (mind, will, and emotions), and body.
Genesis 2:7 (KJV)
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Before I close for this week, I want to make one further point. Man in the image of God is a three part being. At the making of man God was not a three part being in that they, all three, were spirit (and soul). It was not until Jesus the man, and Jesus Resurrected at the right hand of the Father that man became fully in the image and likeness of God. I commonly hear that the real me is my spirit man, I (my spirit man) has a soul (mind, will, and emotions), and lives in a body. Is that true? It seems to me from Scripture that we are a unified whole just like Jesus today in Heaven.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here next Saturday.
2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Receive the blessing in Jesus’ name!
Numbers 6:24-26 (MSG)
24 GOD bless you and keep you,
25 GOD smile on you and gift you,
26 GOD look you full in the face and make you prosper.
