Genesis 1: 26-27
“Let us make man in our Image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over ever creeping thing that creeps on the earth. 27.And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”
Man in the original state male, and Female, In the Image of His Creator, given power and authority to rule over all the earth.
In the business world one must have experience in order to occupy the office of authority. He/She because of their experience in the position they hold, Is given authority to delegates to others, the process required to accomplish the desired results.
In order for one to gain experience it is necessary to have what they call hands on experience. One can read all about how to accomplish something, but until the action is taken to accomplish the task, it will remain as is.
Most Fathers want their Son’s to follow in their trade, or at least start out in a position to learn. So a wise Father will start His Son at the bottom, giving Him the experience to deal with the position first hand. Working his way up until His experience qualifies him for management position.
This of course is the steps a natural man takes in his walk of life. Some will gain the position of authority, others will remain the workers for those in authority.
As we look at this created man, given authority it is only reasonable to believe, somewhere He had completed the training necessary to do the Job of ruling. Or did the Father create a Son, and gave him the authority and the ability to rule, but first, He must gain the experience to be qualified.
We must understand we are Spirit, having a human experience. So in order to know how to rule we must start from the beginning, and continue to learn until we accomplish the required knowledge to fill the position the Father has given us.
We do not do this as an individual, but as members of the body of Christ. Being members of His body, we are learning how to rule as one with the Father.
Remember God said after seeing all he had made “It was very good” There is nothing new under the sun. I believe Father was looking from the start of His plan for man, to the end, seeing it was all “very good.” We too should not look at things saying this is good, and this is bad. We must see all things both good, and bad, are working together for our good. Through this process we are learning how to be one of authority. We like Jesus learn obedience through the things we suffer. Now lets begin The Journey of man.
As stated Man is Spirit, with a flesh body. When we think of Adam, Jesus, and Christ, we mostly sees each as an individual. However Adam represents all of mankind, as does Jesus and Christ. This will become more clear as we go along.
First lets look at this first man Adam. He walked and communicated with God. His being was completely in harmony with the will of the Father. Until something happened to change His walk. Isaiah 14: 12-17 This is a picture of Adam, not Satan as some teach. In verse 16 “Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook the kingdoms.” Note this is talking about a man not Satan. In Genesis 2: 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh at that place. 22. And the Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The word rib Hebrew word Tsela Strong’s 6763 meaning side. So we can say A side of Adam was taken. Now Adam was a living Soul which consisted of Spirit. In other words in the beginning of man, was the Soul, and the Soul was with the Spirit, and the Soul was the Spirit. Just as recorded in John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” This Word was made flesh. Just as man was given a Flesh body. Remember the Word and Man are both Spirit. And both are manifested in the flesh. The first Adam (all of mankind) became sin. The second Adam Jesus Christ (all of mankind) was cleansed by Jesus Christ who shed his Blood cleansing man of Sin. It was appointed man to die. You were in Jesus Christ and the first Adam who became sin died. What we are saying here, all of mankind was in the first Adam as well as the last Adam. This to me clarifies the Statement of Jesus “I am the Alfa, and Omega, the begging and the end.” The Father is the source of all living. Man is the source (God) embodied in flesh. We are all one. He is “the vine” we are the “branches.” The life we live comes from God The (Father of us all) He is perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness, the creator and ruler of the universe. Romans 13: 1 Let every person (soul) be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2. Therefore he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3. For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath upon the one who practices evil.
Here we see God working through appointed authority, we are instructed to do good, and we need not fear. Because it is a minister of God to us for good. We are encouraged to Present our bodies to God a living sacrifice, God is not pleased with dead sacrifices. We are to be a living sacrifice. Dead to the world, but alive in Christ.
Getting back to the woman taken from the side of man. We know God made man to be both male, and female, and called them Adam! So Adam represents the Male part of Man which is Spirit, that was breathed into his nostrils by the Lord God when he was formed.
The female separated from the Spirit is the Soul, which began functioning independent from the spirit. This duality of function was the reason life for man became vanity, and futile, Man will suffer the consequences as long as duality is allowed to continue functioning. Before sin entered there was only singleness of eye. But the test came when Satan which is a liar, convinced Eve to partake of the lie. The Soul (Eve) had no way of discerning the lie while making decisions alone without Adam (the Spirit.) Isn’t it interesting to note how even today people are drawn away by seducing spirits. The religious systems today is some of the biggest offenders. It is hard to distinguish the church from the world. The majority of the organizations are building kingdoms for themselves, and putting the Lord’s name on it. The Female part of Adam is standing in the pulpit today. You need not wear a dress to be the female (soul)
What is the way back to the oneness with the Father, for the answer to this question we must go to John14: Jesus said to him I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.
There is but one way back to the Father, and that is through the truth in Jesus Christ. What is this truth, that will awaken us to the fact, we have never been separated from the Father? Christ in you! Jesus Christ is the Created man in the Image of God. You are His body, always was and always will be. You were chosen in Him before the Foundation of the world. I am writing this to those who has an ear to hear, and a single eye to see in the Spirit. We are the Body of Christ, the light of the world, We are one with the Father, He is our source of Life. We are His expression in the earth. It is no longer you, we, or us. It is the I AM, speaking as a flame of fire from these vessels of clay. Be encouraged, for the time of transfiguration is here. We are changed. We have been chosen, justified, and glorified in Christ. He has appeared, and We are appearing in like manor. If you have seen me, you have seen my Father. My Father and I are one. Do you hear what the Spirit is saying to you. Are you a member of the body of Christ. If so, why would you still walk in duality? You are not two, You are one in Christ Jesus. You shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free. We are in the NOW Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, are in the NOW Can you receive it? Now we are the Son’s of God, it does not yet appeared what we shall be, but when He appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. He has appeared, and we are like Him, He and the Father are one The Father is all in all, and in you all. NOW! We are the members of the Body of Christ. As He is so are we in this world. We live, move, and have are being in the Father.
The journey of man begin in the Father, and the awakening to reality where the Soul, and Spirit, is joined back as one is in Jesus Christ, where we are complete. When something is complete, it is no longer in part. Let this mind be in you, you have the mind of “Christ”. The clarion call, the piercing sound of the Spirit, is awakening man out of the deceptive lie, concerning his being separated from the Father. He is coming forth in his true identity. The male, (Spirit) and female, (soul) joined back together in Jesus Christ, coming forth in the power, and authority, of the Godhead bodily, Complete in the Father. Arise and go forth, receive your inheritance, all things are yours. Let the weak, come forth in strength. Let the lame leap with Joy. Let the dead, come forth in life. Let there be rejoicing in the City of our God.
Let us walk with our Father, conversing with Him face, to face. It is wonderful, It is truly wonderful.
