Bible Note: BradK hi, you better print it and read it in 2 sessions I don't want to lose you again. In the time I have I'll explain the best I can. To use what I consider deductive reasoning; We know God is a spirit and when He creates He does it from the spirit realm. A mannisfestation of the spirit is simply; something being called from the spirit realm into the physical realm;our realm, the earth. As far as I can tell Gen 1:3 was the first thing that was shone to us,as how God creates. My point isn't that, that was the first time God created; it was that it was a model of how God does things. Like the Old Testiment . It testifies of God and what is to come, namely His son. God wants us to have all He put in His son's will. The New testiment. Have you ever had a relative die and have him will all the good stuff to you. My grandpa did that. This is how it worked; 1.My grandfather had to die 2. I had to prove I was his grandchild 3.I had to believe what my grandpa willed me was there,or else I wouldn't take the time to petition for the property. 4.I would make claim on it,and wait for the court to verify I met the criteria to receive. God is the same today,yesterday,and forever. His personality is that He wants us to be Christ like or, it has even been said godly. We are to take on the personalities of Christ. How do we do that? Believe in God, and take him at His word that he willed to us; His children in The New Will And Testimant. We cannot please God with unbelief. So when He sent Jesus Who said, all I have is from the Father. All I have I give to you. And I must go so, the helper can come-The Holy Spirit He will reveal all of what the Father has or, is. Jesus has dominion over all. He is The king Of Kings, Ruler Of The Universe and He wants to give this reign to His believers. Jesus was called The Second Adam - you'll have to do a word search. He has come to give us all He has; dominion or authority over all the things of this earth. That is what God did when He told Adam take dominion before the fall. The word picture of this is when the seed of the woman-Mary's seed - crushed the head of the serpant-satan by putting satan under the authority-dominion of Jesus. I am God's creation but through the adoption of Jesus and my accepting Him as my Lord. I now have family rights. I am recognized as God's child because of who I have placed over myself as the headship of my life.Otherwise all my righteousness would bew as filthy rags. Not because I'm always doing bad stuff. It is because I am not in the family. Ever try and inherit someone elses grandpa stuff. Jesus died to give those things of God to me. That is why we can do all things through Christ. On one hand the dos and don'ts you learn as a kid make you wise and a better person to get along with. Those laws reveal the nature of God, what brings life. But because we live in a body that is made from the dust of this earth in our natural or earhly self with the help of lies from satan. The way I have dominion over this world is by not believing the lies of Satan. Rather walk in the truth of God, through the power of His Son and the revealing of God's truth by His' Holy Spirit-full package of God. That is now the begining of the mannifistation of the spirit realm. AS a believer I believe I do not want to make a mockery of Jesus' death. So by the power vested in me I plan to believe for the wholesomeness of God. Which by the way is not talking about dairy products. Wholesomeness is like a full package of God. It is like a whole set. LIke a calander has 12 months or, a case Coke has 12 cans. I'd like to believe that is where the word holy came from. And then the world tried to take the meaning away by using whole to mean something is missing, like holes in your socks or the like. got to go ask the Holy Spirit For Help with me. Bless YOU. |
