Staying Connected to Your Source Part 2
Now keep this in mind: We are in God's class, because we came from Him. And being that God is a Spirit, we also are spirit, but filled in the clay vessel.
Question: Do you remember the process by which God created the world?
God first planned what He wanted to create; then He decided what He wanted it to be made from; (Look at our God) then He spoke to what He wanted it made from; what He spoke came forth from what He spoke to. For example: When God the Creator wanted animals to be made of dirt--He spoke to it, or water--He spoke to it, or the gasses of the air--He spoke to it. When He created man, He did not speak to the ground or the water or the air. He who is Spirit, spoke to Himself.
Constitutional Scripture: Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Focus Point: Keep this in your mind, that the source to which God spoke when He created man reveals that God wanted us to be like He is.
Please note: In Genesis chapters one and two, we discover that God used two kinds of operations when He called the world in to being. He made things and He created things.
Focus Point: The Hebrew word for "make: is asha, which means "to form out of something that is already there". Brera, is the Hebrew word for "create", means to form out of nothing.
Focus Point: Now the creation of the man involved two different operations. God created the man out of nothing, which is Himself, then formed--made-- the man's house from the dust of the ground. After the man's house was completed, God took what He had created and put it inside what He had made.
Constitutional Scripture: Genesis 2:7 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 being.
Therefore the man came out of God and is spirit even as God is Spirit. The house, which is your body, will decay and return to the ground from which it came. Your spirit which is your true essence, will live forever because spirits cannot die. We share God's eternal Spirit, with all the dreams, aspirations and desires He contains.
Point of view: This is why God gives us two options, eternal life or eternal damnation.
Focus Point: The Hebrew word translated into the English word "likeness" means "to operate like". God's original design for man requires that we function like God.
Now since Adam and Eve's fall from their initial relationship when God blinded them to their natural mode of operation, men and women have had difficulty figuring out how they are supposed to behave and act. Instead of cooperating with God, we live in opposition to Him, following the influences of satanic forces.
Question: How does God operate?
Answer: God operated by faith.
Please note: The light in the darkness was not visible before God called it forth, but He believed that the light was present in the darkness and, by faith, He spoke it into view.
Focus Point: Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light. Faith is not guessing; it is knowing something.
Focus Point: god made and fashioned us to operate by faith. He designed us to believe the invisible into becoming visible. We may not see what the Lord God is calling forth from our life, but God asks us to believe it is there. He created us to operate like He does. Now, if you aren't functioning like God, you are malfunctioning--creating dysfunction. For the Constitution says:
Romans 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
Focus Point: Everything that does not come from faith is sin.
Constitutional Scripture: Romans 14:23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.
