FROM THE PROPHETS CHAMBER – WEEK SEVENTY-SEVEN
AFTER HIS KIND – PART TWO
Greetings dear and precious children of God, sons and daughters in the very image and likeness of Almighty God. Welcome back to our Bible Study “From the Prophets Chamber” and “After His Kind – Part Two”. Please take a moment and share this teaching by every means available to you. Thank you so much for sharing. You are a great blessing to this Ministry, to those with whom you shared, and a blessing to the Lord.
Last week I started a foundation under the general understanding that we are not a species of animal even though our physical body has much in common with other created life. God uses the same building blocks over and over with very different end products. For example, 61% of our DNA is in common with fruit flies, 80% in common with cows, and 98.4% with gorillas. The difference between us (mankind) and other created life is that our body houses a spirit man given directly of God (Genesis 2:7). Our spirit man body is not any different from that of God. Soon our physical bodies will be glorious like that of Jesus. We also discussed the spiritual and physical laws that the seeds of reproduction are within each created thing and each created thing reproduces after its own kind (Genesis 1:11, 24). Now, let us pick up with the original intent of God with regards to mankind.
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.
In verse twenty-six we see mankind is given authority over all other created things and the earth itself. Mankind was made in the image and likeness of God which is to look like and act like God, our Father. God then provided us with the Power (Blessing) to back up the authority or dominion. Mankind was given a total of seven eternal mandates, four of which are in verse twenty-eight and three are in the following passage.
Genesis 2:15-17 (KJV)
15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
We are two-part beings immaterial and material, spirit composed of the spirit man and the mind with a physical body. In the beginning no part of God had a physical component. However, with sin a Savior, Redeemer, was needed so the Second Person of the Trinity took on flesh, dwelt among us, and shed His Blood upon the Cross as an eternal blotting out of sin. At His Resurrection He was given a glorious body and our shall be just like His at the resurrection.
Philippians 3:20-21 (KJV)
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Jesus became like unto fallen man so that fallen man could become like Him. You and I dear ones are of like kind with God and we are to look like Him and we are to act like Him. We are the children of God in the same was as our natural children are like us. We were not and are not endued with the attributes of God, those being omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscience. However, the One who is endowed with these lives in us when we are born again and can flow through us in fulness.
Colossians 2:9-10 (PassionNTPsa)
9 For he is the complete fullness of deity living in human form.
10 And our own completeness is now found in him. We are completely filled with God as Christ’s fullness overflows within us. He is the Head of every kingdom and authority in the universe!
If the fulness of God is in Christ and we are in Christ this fulness is in us also. Consider the following Scripture.
Mark 10:27 (KJV)
27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Focus on the “with God” making all things possible. All means nothing excluded, that is Gods capability and that is our capability in Him and Him in us.
Lord willing, I will complete this series next Saturday, at least for the time being.
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.
