In His Image Part 2

     Welcome all to my blog page and peace to all in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. We of the church really do not understand who we really are or know what it means for us to be created in the image and likeness of our Creator God. For the purpose of this lesson, I will be focused on what it means to be created in the likeness of God our Father. 
     In Genesis 1:26 we see that although God created us in his image he also created us in his likeness. God created us to rule EVERYTHING as well as govern everything in ALL areas and aspects life here on this earth as he rules in heaven. The only authority that we were under and subjected to was his own. Remember a disciple cannot be above his master but he can be as his master is. This applies to us as well, we can be as God is but NEVER could we or should we try to be above our God and Creator. God gave us the authority to rule over the all the creatures under the sea, on land, and in the air. God also gave us authority over the elements and nature itself in addition to changing circumstances in our lives as well The lives of others here on earth. Look at the mighty works of Moses as well as the Prophets of old. God through his Son Jesus Christ demonstrated that during our Lord's time on this earth. Jesus Christ says in John 14:12a "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also."  KJV
    God also gave us the authority and power to create things as he did. Adam knew Eve, Abraham knew Sarah, Jacob knew Rachel, and Zacharias knew Elizabeth John the baptist mother. The end result was that they all became pregnant by a man and gave birth to children. This required the sperm of a man and the egg of a woman. This was not the case with Adam's third son Seth. It is very important to read Genesis 1:26-27 and Genesis 5:3. Like Adam, Seth was created. Adam was created in the image and likeness of God and Adam begat(created) Seth in his own image and likeness.
    Next week's blog I will further discuss what I mean by God kind. Lastly, being created in the likeness of God relates to his person, nature, and character which is Longsuffering, patient, love, peace, righteous, holy, goodness, faith and just in judgement etc. John 4:24 our Lord Jesus Christ tells us that "God is a Spirit." So when both believers and unbelievers alike see us. The person, nature, and character of God our Father and Creator should be seen in our words, actions, and lifestyles. This blog will end with three questions for you to ponder. Are you God kind or mankind? Are you a spirit being or human being? and Are you a spirit or flesh? God bless you all in EVERYTHING with his peace, protection, blessings, and favor.

Being Defiled Part 2

  Kingdom Greetings, to you all in the name of Jesus Christ Our Saviour. During this blog, I will be explaining how both prescription drugs and over the counter drugs, recreational drugs and alcohol are factors which can lead to us being defiled.  These three classes of drugs that mentioned above in addition to alcohol impacts our mental awareness and our ability to make decisions. Whenever we consume any of these three classes of drugs or alcohol it opens up our minds to influences and communications from Satan and his demonic forces. How? It is Satan as well as his demonic forces that influence our thoughts, actions, words, and our decisions. These demonic influences leads us to commit the following sins that defiles us: Fornication Adultery Lying, stealing and robbing Murder Sexual Assault and date rape Violence of all sorts Sexual Misconduct Disobedience to the law (driving under the influence).    If we were to conduct a statistical analysis each...

Laws of Marriage(Guidelines)

  I would like to thank you all for reading my blogs. I also want you to know that I truly appreciate you all. Welcome back. I am going to put forth a list for us all to follow as it pertains to the mind of Christ and as it is written in the holy scriptures( GOD'S recorded word ) concerning the principles and teachings of the laws of marriage. Marriage is between one man and one woman. What God has joined together. Let not anyone ( this includes a husband or a wife) put asunder. A person can ( only divorce )their spouse for sexual misconduct( adultery or fornication etc. ). If a person divorces their spouse for sexual misconduct neither a  husband or a wife or the spouse they have   divorced or separated from is permitted by GOD to marry another person. Also God do not permitt for them to engage in another intimate relationship. If a person for reasons  of abuse of any kind or the lives of themselves or that of their children was in danger were to divorce or s...

Being Defiled Part 1

  Kingdom Greetings, Brothers and Sisters of our beloved Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I appreciate you and love you all much and dearly in Christ Jesus. From this point going forward, I will be writing and posting my blogs every other week. The reason for this change is because I have begun writing my third book titled: The Laws Of Marriage. This would be a great opportunity for everyone to read and catch up on blogs that I have already written and posted that are of interest to them.   These next series of my blogs will be centered on being defiled. I will define the word defile, show how a person becomes defiled?, and what is being defiled in the eyes of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour is? The book of Mark Chapter 7:15-23 will be the main passage of scripture for this lesson series.              Mark 7:15    "There is NOTHING from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things wh...
