There is a very powerful attitude that leads to destruction. It can
kill dreams, visions, and inspirations and even stymie achievement in
the provision of God.

I deserve it! This is a sneaky and ungrateful attitude that often
appears to make sense on a carnal level.

Is the "I deserve it attitude" a proper and Biblical understanding?
Or is it a grace robber?

Could it be, that an I deserve it attitude, will negate a grace of God gift?

1 Corinthians 10:30 If I partake, (receive, have) with thankful-
ness why am I slandered, accused, spoken evil of because of that
for which I give thanks
Or
Paul says, due to what I received by giving thanks for it.

* Thanksgiving releases the grace to partake
* You are a partaker of the divine nature - if-

2 Peter 1:4 (NAS) For by these He has granted to us His precious
and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become part-
akers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that
is in the world by lust.

* No good thing God gives is due to a debt or because it was
earned or deserved, (gives is a key word)
* If it comes from God, it is a gift, be thankful for it and
celebrate it, before it manifests.
* Do not spoil your blessing/gift due to entitlement thinking.
* You cannot be gracious to a person who thinks they deserve it=
Grace not I deserve it-

No good thing God gives is the result of being earned or deserved.

Gift by nature defines itself as being inspired by the giver, not the
receiver.

A gift is not any way the product of a debt.

Give is a key word in GIFT understanding

Psalm 84:11..."the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing
will He withhold from them that walk uprightly (in accordance
with His will and nature).

God knows how to, and loves to give good gifts to His children.

Luke11:13 (AMP) If you then, evil as you are, know how to give
good gifts [gifts that are to their advantage] to your children,
how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to
those who ask and continue to ask Him!

God does not need a reason to do good.

James 1:17 (NAS) Every good thing given and eery perfect gift is
from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom
there is no variation or shifting shadow.

God is a gift giver. He joys in giving. God is love, love gives. It
is hard to find a scriptural basis presenting God with a bill for
services rendered or obedience fulfill.

Nor do we find a formula for using works to leverage God. He does not
need to be compelled, to give.

Return now to Paul's teaching.

1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God
which (not who) gives us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ

Could this be a Word of God prescription for success? - Thanks- the
simple giving of thanks from a heart of gratitude.

2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be to God,
which always causes us to triump in Christ,
and maketh manifest
the savour (redeeming grace) of His knowledge
by us in every place.

The Word, is the vehicle by which we partake of the:
* Divine nature
* Ruling over life
* Doing what the Word says can be done
* Revealing the mysteries of the Word and the knowledge hidden
therein

Thanks brings victory, triump, manefestation.

Why is it that some people do not win?
do not possess the promise?
do not realize their dreams?

Malachi 3:13-14 (AMP) Your words have been strong and hard
against Me, says the Lord. Yet you say, What have we spoken
against You? 14You have said, it is useless to serve God, and
what profit is it if we keep His ordinances and walk gloomily
and as if in mourning apparel before the Lord of hosts?

When a persons words are contrary to what God has stated as truth in
His words, they are opposing His order in the earth.

If His word says He has, and we say not yet, or He hasn't, we are
opposing His truth.

A person's words are stout when they deny what God has promised
what God has done
what belongs to the
Believer

Being thankful for, who He has made you to be.

Being thankful for, what God has "seeded" into you.

Colossians 1:13 The Father has (already) delivered us from the
power of darkness:
The power to deny
The power to contain
The power to make sick
To make poor
And has translated us (all children)
into the Kingdom of His dear Son
where good triumps over evil
where celebration and thanksgiving bring manifestation

1 Timothy 4:3-4 (AMP) Who forbid people to marry and [teach them]
to abstain from [certains kinds of] foods which God created to be
received with thanksgiving by those who believe and have
[an increasingly clear] knowledge of the truth. 4For everything
God has created is good, and nothing is to be thrown away or
refused if it is received with thanksgiving.

1 Timothy 4:3-4
People who have departed from the true faith,
forbid people to marry,
insist on abstinence from meats, (certain kinds of food)
though God created them to be partaken of, with thanksgiving
by those who believe and personally know the truth

For everything that God has created is good, and there is nothing
that need to be rejected, if only it is received with thanksgiving.

* Thanksgiving makes marriage a blessed thing when received as a
gift of God's creation.
* Thanksgiving makes foods pure and healthy, even though they may
have been taboo under law.

The giving of thanks is a curse reverser
is a bondage breaker
is a way to receive
is a pathway

Begin to thank God for the dreams, visions, impartation and gifts He
placed in your life.

Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory, in every arena or
situation of life.


-THANKSGIVING MEANS BETTER LIVING-

"Jesus said to them, My food, My nourishment comes from doing the will of God the Father who sent Me, and from accomplishing or finishing His work."

The Lord Jesus states He is infused by doing the will of the Father
and by finishing the unfinished work the Father set in motion. His
purpose in life, His reason for being is to bring pleasure to the Father by getting the job done. The Father is about finishing, not just starting. A complete God desires a complete work.

God has a plan; He had it before creation came into play. The plan
was hidden in God for those people who would shake off the effects
of the fall and rise up to the plan. This people of His purpose would
be His Church. The plan was hidden in God, not from the Church, but
for the Church. It was hidden from all genereations until that
"people of purpose" would rise up.

"The sacred secret kept covered from the people of former ages and
generations is now uncovered and openly shown to those who are His."
Colossians 1:26

"Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the
mystery of Christ) which in other ages was not made known unto
the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;"
"To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in
Heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom
of God," Ephesians 3:4,5,10

It is time to raise up the community of faith God has always desired.
A people who will receive the divine nature and the divine purpose.
A generation of Sons of God who lay hold of and rise up to the fullness of the stature in which our Lord Jesus Christ, the Anointed
Redeemer of God, lived and walked. A holy people who will demonstrate
Satan's defeat and who will live out our Lord's victory, a people of
divine destiny.

"Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations,
but now is made manifest to his saints: to whom God would make known
what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles;
which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:" Colossians 1:26,27

A command given by God cannot be violated or left hanging. His word is not void of performance, it will be done. All that is yet to be
settled is who will rise up, Someone will rise to the mantle and "do"
the will of the Father. The Church will be the Church before He returns for it.

"That is why, when the Redeemer came into the world He said, Sacifices and offerings You did not desire, but a body You have
prepared for Me;... I have come to do Your will O God,...
Hebrews 10:5-7

God prepared a body to house the Spirit of our Redeemer. His body then was the temple prepared of God to be the dwelling place of our
Lord. He was the first born of many brethren (Romans 8:29). As
believers we are not only His brothers, we are joint-heirs with Him (Romans 8:17). Not only are we brothers and joint-heirs to all He is
and all He has, 1 John 4:17 states "as He is so are we in the world."

Our body was prepared by the God who knew us before we were in our
mother's womb. Our body is a temple prepared by God to house the
Spirit of God which He freely gave us. "Do you not understand that
your body is a temple for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit whom you
have received from God?" (1 Corinthians 6:19) Since His God given
body was dedicated to the will of God and we are as He is, then our body should be dedicated to the will of God.

Since the will of God does not change, our pursuit of His will must
return first to the original command of God to His man. When we
explore what God said to His man in the first command we see it was
made up of several aspects, each inter-connected and inter-related.

In Genesis 1:28 the Father God laid five charges before the man He
had created. Five charges or commands that bore His Original Intent
for His man and His creation. The commands still stand awaiting a
generation of champions who will rise to the command to do the will of the Father.

"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and dominion over
the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every
living thing that moveth upon the earth." Genesis 1:28

Five items on man's to do list from God:
1. Be Fruitful - be productive at every level
2. Multiply - increase what I started
3. Replenish - fill the earth from the seed I have given
4. Subdue it - bring creation under your authority
5. Have dominion Over it - rule over it as I would

We must be about our Father's business. We must accomplish the
assigned task and completely finish the work He began. Sons of God
fulfilling the will of God in bringing Original Intent to its intended work. The fall of man may have temporarily derailed the plan of God, however, the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus redeemed the
plan, the man and creation. So, it is time to get back on track and
fulfill the five charges of Original Intent.

Salt and Light
Chapter 2/Section 1

Every community should be impacted for good, by the life and work of
the Believers therein. The child of the King, is to be about the King's business, in such a way as to manifest Kingdom of God influ-
ence that breaks down and replaces the world system way of being and
doing.

1 John 3:8 describes part of the job description of our Messiah in His earth walk. (AMP)..."The reason the Son of God was made manifest
(visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the
devil (has done).

The Believer is charged in John 14:12 to do what Messiah did and even
greater works. So part of the work of the ministry is to overthrow
the world's system and bring into manifestation the Kingdom of God
system.

The Message translation renders a very powerful insight on Matthew 5:
13-16 "Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-
seasoning thay brings out the God flavors of this earth. If you lose
your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You've lost your
usefulness and will end up in the garbage.
14-16 Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing
out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I
make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under
a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've
put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand--shine! Keep open house;
be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt
people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.

The New Covenant Believer is in the marketplace on assignment to
revolutionize the marketplace and bring divine influence to those in
darkness who are unseasoned by the Word of promise.

When a Christian carries only a message of salvation, they are only delivering a small piece of the Gospel.

The "full gospel" will touch and change for the good, every arena
of life and its development.

Messiah proclaimed, "I have come for the purpose of giving life, and
that those who receive my life, may have the abundance the God kind
of life produces. (GAJ)

If the church is only light within the walls of a local assembly. how
does the light pierce the darkness?

1 John 1:7 (NAS) but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in
the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of
Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

It is a walk, not an experience. He walked in the light of revelation of the Father's purpose.

2 Peter 1:19 (NAS) So we have the prophetic word made more sure,
to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a
dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in
your hearts.

The light of revelation is the unfolding of prophetic purpose in the
earth.

1 Peter 2:9 (NAS) But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royalb PRIESTHOOD,
A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may
proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of dark-
ness into His marvelous light;

The New Covenant Believer has a powerful role to play in the end time
revival and the replacing of the kingdom of darkness by the Kingdom
of Light.

Ephesians 5:8 (NAS) for you were formerly darkness, but now you
are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light.

We came out of darkness by the new birth, now we must cast off the
rule and reign of darkness and walk out His light before men. We must
establish Kingdom.

1 Thessalonians 5:5 (NAS) for you are all sons of light and sons
of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;

Sons of (the revealing of divine truth and power) Sons of God (repr-
esenting family business) Sons of His inheritance.

Matthew 5:16 (NAS) "Let your light shine before men in such a way
that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is
in heaven.

As New Covenant Believers we are to "do" the works and deeds of the
Father, which manifest the light of His purpose and calling and tran-
sform the earth.

Kingdom of Light, manifests Original Intent!

Most Christians will agree that there is much darkness in the world
system. Some will go furhter to say "gross darkness" covers the earth.

Into these arenas of darkness the Believer has been called to shine
forth the light of the gospel. They are also to radiate the outraying
of the indwelling of the Father's presence.

As representatives of the Kingdom of Light, they are to cause the light of the Father's presence, the light of the father's Word, the
light of the Father's ever present help, the light of the Father's
wisdom, grace and power be applied to everydaybsituations and problems.

A Believers light shines when they do good (God) works, that reveal the person, the nature and the purposes of God in the earth.

Those dwelling in darkness, the world system, need to see Kingdom rule in manifestation. Live out in example and everyday application,
that which you talk about, believe and preach.

Wherever you are, at work, at play, at school or about the complexities of life, let your light shine by the works you accomplish.

If you are the only Believer present, you are the spiritual authority
in that group or place.

You represent light, dispelling darkness and changing destinies. As His designated spiritual authority, you are there to reveal and display Him.

Church and church settings, are but one sphere into which the Believer is to exert influence, inspire change and manifest the
Kingdom of God.

Abrief look at the major sphere's open for invasion to the Believer,
will be discussed in Chapter Three.

You are a tripartite being.
You are a spirit, you will exist eternally.
You have a mind to think, comprehend, analyze.
You live in a body, which gives you license on earth.

You have three arenas of existance to develop, to train, to direct in
pursuit of:
* Doing the will of the Father
* Fulfilling prophecy
* Destroying the works of satan
* Regaining what was lost
* Restoring God's rule to every arena of life
You have three arenas to influence for good, for God, for Kingdom
fulfillment.

A true believer, can reign in any one or in all three. Balance ensures longevity.

God knows what we will have need of, before we know we want or need it.

He knows the need before the need is.

He finishes the end, completion, outcome of a thing before he allows
it to begin.

There is already, laid in store, for every THING, for every QUESTION,
for every CHALLENGE, for every CRISIS, a proper and complete remedy,
answer, supply or provision.

He said, "Call upon me and I will answer".

He has laid in store for His children, warehoused in abundance, all
you will ever want, need or desire.

He has also solved every problem, need or lack that would try to
present itself in opposition to what God has called you to be or do.

The provision of or for, the finished product, the abundant supply
is on deposit, waiting for you to tap in to the divine storehouse.

Whatever He asks of you, He has already provided for you. "Trust and
obey".

If a challenge to His Word or call is present, the answer, the way,
the proof, the truth, the light, the supply, the provision for, already exists in the realm of the spirit.

IT NOW IS!

Before you were born, God had planned for you and included you in
His plan. Your life, your homecoming, your reward and everything you
will ever need are already provided for.

He saw you, all you could do, all you could be, all you could have
and every part you were to play, before you were. He called you to
fulfill and abundant supply, before you were in your mother's womb.

Remember,
The seed determines a thing.
Whose seed are you of?

1John 4:4 (NAS) You are from God, little, and have overcome them;
because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

2:13 (NAS) I am writing to you, fathers, because you know
Him who has been from the beginning I am writing to you, young
men, because you have overcome the evil one I have written to you
children, because you know the Father.

2:14 (NAS) I have written to you, fathers, because you know
Him who has been from the beginning I have written to you, young
men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you,
and you overcome the evil one.

John 16:33 (NAS) "These things I have spoken to you, so that in
Me you may have peace in the world you have tribulation, but take
courage; I have overcome the world."
All Things, Already

Philippians 4:13 (NAS) I can do all things through Him who
strengthens me.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NAS) And He has said to me, "My grace is
sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness" Most
gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so
that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

Ephesians 3:16 (NAS) that he would grant you, according to the
riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His
Spirit in the inner man,

Colossians 1:11,12 (NAS) strengthened with all power, according
to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and
patience; joyously 12giving thanks to the Father, who has
qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light.

Romans 8:26-34 (AMP) So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid
and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer
to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit
Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf
with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.
27And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind
of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit
intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints
according to and in harmony with God's will.
28We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their
labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for
good to and for those who love God and are called according to
[His] design and purpose.
29For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved
beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaing
them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly
His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many
brethren.
30And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those
whom He called, He also justified (aquitted, made righteous,
putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom
He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly
dignity and condition or state of being].
31What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who
[can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]
32He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave
Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and gracious
ly give us all [other] things?
33Who shall bring any charge against God's elect [when it is]God
Who justifies [that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself?
Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has
chosen? Will God, Who acquits us?]
34Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah),
Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the
right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us?

Mark 9:23 (NAS) And Jesus said to him,"If You can?" All things
are possible to him who believes."

Luke 18:27 (NAS) But He said, "The things that are impossible
with people are possible with God."

Mark 10:27 (NAS) Looking at them, Jesus said, "With people it is
impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with
God."

Oak seeds produce oak trees
Corn seed produces corn
Cat seed produces cats
God seed produces gods

Psalm 82:6 (KJV) I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are
children of the most High.

John 10:34 (NAS) Jesus answered them, "Has it not been written
in your Law, 'I SAID, YOU ARE GODS'?

Being "of God" we can represent and "do god deeds".

Original Intent Part 2b

We who believed were crucified with Him, we were buried with Him, and we were judged in Him and have been resurrected with Him to a
"newness of life" in Christ Jesus. "As He is, so are we in the creation" (1 John 4:17). He wants to fulfill His plan. He wants to
complete His purpose. He wants to complete His Original Intent. God
is seeking a people according to His purpose. A people who will deny
self-will to take up His will. A people in whom God can walk, talk, and build relationship. A people of His government.

To walk in Original Intent we must walk in His likeness. We must learn as Paul did that "it is no longer I that lives but Christ lives
in me" (Galatians 2:20), and "for me to live is Christ" (philippians
1:21). God created man to be the 3rd dimension house for His 4th
dimension nature and Spirit. "Know ye not that your body is the Temple-dwelling place-of the Holy Spirit?" (1 Corinthians 6:19) "We-
My Father and I-will come and make Our abode within you." (John 14:23) "It is God the Father who is at work within you both to give the will to do and also to do His good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13),
"It is the Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom-the rule,
dominion, Kingship over creation" (Luke 12:32).

The renewing of the mind, the transforming of the nature of man from what came as a result of the fall to what was provided in the resurrection of our Anointed Redeemer is a work of the Holy Spirit.
The washing of our thought life with the "it is written" word of God,
a dying to self so that there occurs within our inner being a personal resurrection of the new man and a total commitment to the
divine nature provided for us is obtainable when it is diligently sought. (More is addressed on this arena in "The Three Formulas" and
in "Steps to Wisdom and Purpose")

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what
we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like
him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." 1 John 3:2

"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many
brethen. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." Romans 8:29,30

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by
the Spirit of the Lord." 2 Corinthians 3:18

We can and it is certain some will, come up to conformity to the will, plan and purpose of God. Some will arise to be as He is. Some
will recognize that they are Sons of God and purify themselves to come up to the mark of the "high calling in Christ Jesus". Conformity to His image is not only possible, it is what occurs
naturally when the ministry gifts God gave the Church fulfills the job description of Ephesians 4:12-16.

"But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof." Romans 13:14

If all the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Christ Jesus, and if he is the first-born of all those who are to be like Him and are to be joint-heirs with Him, if as He is now so are we, if the works that He did we are to do, and greater works, if the same power, Spirit, and ability that raised up our Anointed Redeemer from the dead lives in us to make us alive with the same life that made Him alive, if all
power in Heaven and in earth has been thrust into our hands, if we
have the keys to the Kingdom of God in our bag of spiritual endow-
ments, then what is so hard about fulfilling Original Intent?

"That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: who hath delivered us from the
power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the
forgiveness of sins: who is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn of every creature: for by him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell; and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in Heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under Heaven; whereof I
Paul am made a minister;" Colossians 1:10-23

Change is not only possible; it is inevitable for whosoever will. It
is time for a supernatural people to rise up and rule. "For such a time as this" were born into the family of God.

Original Intent Part 2

Our God is changeless. His will in Heaven is also His will for earth.
We can have confidence that what our God has begun He will bring to
completion. He is the Author and He is the Finsher. Nothing about God
His will, His plan, nor His purpose will be left unfufilled. No word
of God will fall short of performance.

"In the same way, God, in His desire to show, with unmistakable plainess, to those to whom He made His promise, the unalterable nature of His purpose, guaranteed it by an oath." Hebrews 6:17

The direction God set in motion in creation must be and will be brought to its intended conclusion. His will, His plan, His purpose will come fully and victoriously to the conclusion or culmination
for which it was begun. God reassures us it will happen just as He said.

"Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken
it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it." Isaiah 46:10,11

"Yet He must remain in Heaven until the time all things are recovered,-when all things are put right-of which God has spoken
through the lips of His holy prophets since creation came into being.
Acts 3:21

One way or another, through Prophet or Prophetic example, God has let
us know the plan has not changed. The Original Intent of God in cre-
tion will be brought to fullness and completion. The Lord Jesus will
not return until every word is fulfilled. God will have a people who
will rise up to the commission given to the first man- Adam-and that
people will rule over creation in divine dominion. The Lord Jesus will return for a triumphant Church, a victorious Church, a holy nation. A triumphant-victorious Church is triumphant because they have been victorious over, have triumphed over and have come to
dominion over all that assailed them. Now is the time, now is the
season to rise up in power.

Adam was created of God to be the ruler of this new Kingdom God was
seeding into the earth. Adam was to grow and increase as the creation he was set over grew and increased, until they both came to the fullness of God's Original Intent.

Since Adam was set in place to rule and have dominion over creation, he was King of all God had made and placed under him. Adam was created to be King of all the creation, which was the 3rd dimension.
Walking in 4th dimension authority, Adam was to rule over this new
Kingdom of God, which we know as the 3rd dimension.

Though Adam fell from His purpose and position, the plan did not alter. We have been redeemed from the fall of man to become the Kings and Priests (Revelation 1:6) of the Kingdom of God. He has
given us the keys to His authority and power (Matthew 28:18, 16:19)
so that we can complete the work Adam failed to accomplish. We are to
rule and reign in life with Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 5:17).

Many Christians have difficulty in making sense of who they are in the plan of God. They have problems applying the truth of the word and its promises to their daily lives. They are hindered in finding
direction in their Christian walk and its relevance to their earth walk. Because they do not see Original Intent nor God's purpose for
their life, they are unable to fulfill it.

Why is this so? If one does not understand Original Intent they will
not have a clear picture of why they are here. They will not under-
stand their individual purpose or how they fit into God's eternal purpose. Not seeing, knowing or having revelation of the Original
Intent of God for the man He created, they fail to see the direction
their life should follow. We have a royal inheritance and legacy to
fulfill.

"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. So God created man
in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female
created He them." Genesis 1:26,27

The Revelation of these verses makes it plai that man is made or created in the very image and likeness of God the Father. Man was
given dominion, rule, and authority over all of the creation God had
made. In the Original Intent of God, the man He created was given God's likeness, God's image, and God's dominion. No part of God's
plan or purposed has changed. He said it; it must be done. The rule of man over creation as God's delegated representative must occur. Sons of God must rise up as Romans 8:19 confirms.

"For the whole creation waits on tiptoes in ardent expectation to see
the glorious fulfillment of the Sons of God coming to their own"- to
Original Intent Romans 8:19

We must bare His likeness to carry His dominion. We must wals in His
image to execute His will. If we are not like Him we cannot carry His authority. We must be united with His Kingdom will (Matthew 6:10)
to exercise His KIngdom Dominion. It is not our will, but His will, His Original Intent, which must be done.

The Divine Nature available to man as addressed in 2 Peter 1:4 is
contingent on man coming into alignment with the "Kingdom of God"
2 Peter 1:2-and being united with Him in purpose or intent. To rule
with Him-Romans 5:17-we must be like Him. "As He is so are we in the creation" 1 John 4:17.

"Don't let the world system squeeze you into its mold, but let God
remold your mind which will bring about your transformation."
Romans 12:2

"Let every man submit himself to the government that is over him, for all authority comes from God." Romans 13:1

Chapter 1/ Section 2
Colossians 3:17(NAS) Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in
the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the
Father.

There is a difference presented, between words spoken and deeds done.
Some insight into this will be dealt with in chapter four.

The 5 fold "ministry" gifts were set in the Body to raise up a people
to do the "work" of the ministry. Apparently God wants to be involved
in both arenas. The Father has ordained Kings to rule in the course
of the physical earth. He has ordained Priest to rule in the arena of
the spirit of and operation of, God towards eternal issues.

The purpose of God, for His work in the earth, was clearly defined as
being in two realms. In the Old Covenant we see pillars at the first
temple representing the businessman and the minister as united for the purpose.

These two arenas are to work together and compliment one another.
Deuteronomy 8:18 (NAS)"But you shall remember the Lord you God, for
it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that he may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. A
man of God's calling, brings the Word of God to the people of God,
that Godwants to empower them to gain wealth. The minister delivers
the Word, the people then gain the wealth which business provides.

The minister speaks for God to people, who will actually do work for
God. They are to gain wealth so that
1. God can confirm His Covenant of abundant provision to man.
2. So that men of wealth will be empowered to care for and cover
those in need of financial aid, and for ministers who will be
blessed by the tithes and offerings.

Some people scoff at 3 John 2 and attempt to spiritualize it. Beloved
I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health,
just as your soul prospers. But the God of this passage meant what He
said.

Since God is no respector of persons, if the Holy Spirit directed this emphasis concerning one Believer, it is available to all
Believers.

The desire was for MAN-God's man-to prosper. This deals with physical
abundance. But also, hand in hand is a desire for physical soundness
or health. Both are tied to the soul being enlarged with understanding of the Father's wisdom and provision.

One will have great difficulty entering into an arena of health or wealth if they lack wisdom concrning and affirming God's plans for
them in those area's.

Jeremiah 29:11 (AMP) For I know the thoughts and plans that i
have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare
and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final
outcome.

1 Timothy 6:17-19 (KJV) Charge them that are rich in this world,
that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but
in the living God, giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That
they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distri-
bute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a
good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold
on eternal life.

From this passage we see people who are rich in goods of the world
system. Business people who have prospered in the world system.

They are instructed to use their wealth to make a change. Their wealth is a tool to bring change. Poor people will have empty tool
boxes. Solomon said, money (wealth) settles all matters.

It is important to come to grips with a pratical truth which is rooted in spiritual insight. Poverty is not of God. There are many
passages depicting the Father's will for His man to prosper. But
where He speaks of poverty or not prospering, it is a curse of lack
He describes.

For a ministry to function according to New Covenant instruction,
more is involved than gifts, talents and abilities.
First-there must be a call of God
Next-there must be a maturation, mentoring, discipling and
equipping process
Next-a commissioning and sending
But-for one to go, there are several other elements that must
come into play.

Most ministries fail for lack of funding, or from the corruption that
arises through the misuse of funds. Not from lack of vision or desire

When a ministry is to be launched, several support factors must be combined.

Someone must heed the call to go
Someone must equip and mentor them
Someone must commission and send them
Someone mst stay by the stuff while they are gone
Someone must pay the way for them to go
Someone must cover them in prayer

Each joint has something to supply for the common good. The end
product is strengthened in effectiveness or impaired in ability,
based upon the function each part in supplying that part or role
which they are to play.

Ministry and Business were presented by God as a joint venture. They
are to not only work in cooperation to accomplish the purposes of God
they are to compliment one another and supply to one another, what is
of benefit to the other.

It is a two way street of assistance between Businessman and Minister.

The Minister (Messiah) needed assistance to fulfill His call to
minister. He needed a platform, a stage if you will, and sound
amplification to the crowd.

The Businessman (Peter the Fisherman) needed product to sell.

The Businessman gave the Minister what He needed and the Minister
then supplied the Businessman what he needed. Co-laborers in the
Father's purpose. 1 Peter 4:9-10(KJV)Use hospitality one to another
without grudging. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold
grace of God.

The man of God can tell the herdsmen where his donkeys are. He can
help the workman find his ax. He can obtain resources to build or
rebuild cities and temples.
The man of God can give the Businessman a Word that leads him to great prosperity. A Word from the Lord allowed Peter to flood the
fish market.

They can cover each other in prayer, in faith, in counsel and in
supply.

1 Corinthians 9:11 (AMP)If we have sown [the seed of] spiritual
good among you,[is it too] much if we reap from your material
benefits?

The Mininster gives from his spiritual gifting.
The Businessman gives of his earning gifting.

Romans 15:27 (AMP) They were pleased to do it; and surely they
are in debt to them, for if these Gentiles have come to share
in their [the Jerusalem Jews] spiritual blessings, then they
ought also to be of service to them in material blessings.

The Work of the Minister should compliment and enrich the life of
the Minister.

If the Minister ministers a message of prosperity and abundance,
he should eat the fruit of that message.

Proverbs 18:21 (AMP) Death and life are in the power of the
tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it
[the death or life].

One will eat the fruit of the crop they have sown. To live in
abundance, seeds of the abundant life must be sown.

Chapter 1/Section 1
A car is invented for the intended purpose of conserving energy and
reducing pollution.

But, was it fully thought out to meet more than one arena of need?
Does it help one area while harming others?

How will it work at drive up windows for food service take out, or
bank teller drive up, or ATM drive up? Were these other uses addressed?

What happens when the driver is unable to roll down a window if pulled over by police?

How would one conduct a conversation with someone outside the auto?

What if the air condition fails?

What about a back seat area as legally mandated for small children's
car seats?

In similar consideration, we come to the church of today. Does it
fit one need while neglecting many others?

A well rounded vehicle, like a well thought out ministry cannot be
singular in purpose or performance.

Can a church structured primarily to win the lost, regain creation,
establish Kingdom and mature saints for all arenas of life and god-
liness?

God has a plan
Earth has needs
Believers have a purpose

Can all facilitate one another, or are they mutually exclusive?

John 2:1 (NAS) On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of
Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;

A marriage party, a worldly event driven by and ministering to the
flesh.

2:2 and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the
wedding.

Messiah and the learners are there, they were there for the party not
for the miracles, signs and wonders.

2:3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him,
"They have no wine."

A purely secular need, party punch, happy juice, booze, is needed. Flesh wants to be satisfied.

2:4 And Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do
with us? My hour has not yet come."

Why are you involving me (the church), in what you (the world) are doing? The time of divine appointment to do miracles, signs and wonders was not yet come.

2:5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you
do it."

Messiah's mother opens the door for her answer. She puts demand on a
closed for business, door.

Mary has a desire-
De meaning-of
sire meaning-father

To want something or to desire something calls into play a source,
capable of meeting that de-sire.

Messiah has performed no great work or miracle yet.

Will His first miracle be salvation, healing, bondage breaking,
prophecy to the church, will it be a healing line or altar call? Will
it have eternal spiritual significance?

Or, will it meet a need, where the common man is at?

You know of this story. You know of its outcome. But the question must be addressed:
A. Is the first miracle of Messiah's earth walk, to be in and to
the church of the day, or out and in the streets? (miracle in
da hood)
B. Will this miracle fulfill a ministry function or a mere social
desire?
C. Was it conditioned on a committment to Christ or the ministry,
or was it freely given, no strings attached?

The staunchly religious mindset has difficulty believing God will work on any non spiritual need, or meet people at a secular level of
desire. Could it be that God's plan is bigger than just the church?

James 1:17 (KJV)Every good gift and every perfect gift is from
above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is
no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

"every good gift" - was party beverage a good gift? It did after all
come down from the Father, through the Son.

Will God grant desires that do not conform to His will plan and purpose?

Psalm 106:15 (KJV)And he gave them their request; but sent lean-
ness into their soul.

When Israel wanted a King and God did not want to give them one, did
they get their desire?

If the first miracle of Messiah was:
Out of time or divine order
Not within His ministry classification
Served no religious purpose
Ministered only to the flesh

Then we must ask:
Will God operate outside the confines of "ministry" settings?
Does God want to inject Himself into every day life?
Will the peace of God work in the marketplace?
Can signs and wonders be a part of every day business?

Whether we call it
Highways and Byways Ministry
Marketplace Evangelism
Taking it to the Streets
Being Real to Make Him Real
Revelant Christianity
Church Without Walls
Community Impact
Or a vast array of "tag lines" yet to be mentioned. The bottom line
is, Jesus was effective in non ministry settings,-are we?

Is it all about bringing the world to church, or could it be bringing
church to the world.

In section 2 we will address the question; do I have to choose
between ministry and business?

-Making Him real by living real in Him-

It is past time for the Body of Christ to impact society with real day to day life in Christ Jesus. Whether we call it "marketplace-
evangelism", taking Christ to the community", or just living out
your Christian witness wherever you go.

The world needs the reality of Kingdom life that works outside the confines of the church community to change the world.

Messiah is returning for "a Victorious Community of Called Out Ones"
who have risen up to rule and reign with Him, over all that opposes His will.

True Believers worship together at Assemblies of "the church family"
and then "go out into the highways and byways", to compel people to
come into the family of faith. Places of work, places of recreation, education, commerce, neighborhoods or wherever people gather, are
mission fields. True Believers can and should let their life and
testimony change people wherever they are.
Matthew 5:16 "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they
may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. (or at the Heavenly level)

The words of a very powerful song rings truer each time it is sung:
"we're here to take over; we're not here to take sides"

We must impact society with Kingdom Wisdom, truth and power. We must
invade every arena of society and exert Kingdom influence, not just
with teaching and preaching but by "being Kingdom success."

New Covenant Believers can, should and will take over commerce,
business, industry, media, education, science, finance and every other arena of enterprise.

Broke Christians do not change the world. i.e., just review the last
75 years of church activity, and yet we are the minority when it comes to power, presence, voice, clout or any of dozens of other
influence exerting advantages.

Since Messiah is returning to a generation of conquering Kings and
Priests. Since when He returns, the Kingdoms of this earth are to be
subdued and put under His rule. Since His return is to be to a glorious church, a victorious church, a church free from spots, blemishes or wrinkles. Since He has made the New Covenant Believer
a joint heir in inheriting, owning and ruling the earth.

Taking Him to the Streets

This subject will ask many questions and hopefully answer more quest-
ions then are asked.

The church must come to grips with ineffective activities, powerless
pursuits and failures of tradition.

A revival is being breathed into the earth. A revival which will occupy two very powerful fronts at once. We will discuss that in
subsequent chapters.

First, may we ask a question which will begin to set the stage for
this teaching?

This week in any given city, who will have the most effective voice,to:
* Impact the lives and society of that city
* To direct conersations in the work places
* To change thought patterns
* To modify behavior

One, the Pastor of the largest church in town through his Sunday
Sermon
Two, a morning drive time talk show host
Three, a computer chat room, blog or article
Four, a newspaper columnist
Five, a morning news & talk show on TV

May we push the point further? Who will recieve the most compensation
for voicing their opinion?

Have we missed out on opportunities to let the world system pay us to
change their mind and lifestyle?

Did the church failed to lay hold of divine arenas for societal
influence?

Are there ways, outside the walls of the church, to cause society
fallen, to pay us to introduce Kingdom restored?

Jesus is coming back for a triumphant, victorious Church. One that
overcomes the world's system, not one that is ruled over or in fear
of the world's systems. Son's of God who will perform the will of the
Fathe (Romans 8:14) and cause the will, plan and purpose of God, so
freely manifest in Heaven, to be manifest in the earth (Matthew 6:10)

We must walk in a greater level of authority, anointing and manifest glory than the Lord Jesus ever did. God's plan will prevail. His will, will be done. His purpose will be fulfilled and His true sons will rule in and over creation. The Lord Jesus did all that He did in His earth walk, strapped to the restraints of the Law. We are however, no longer under the Law, but are under grace which gives us the freedom the Lord Jesus was denied and from which He was restricted. (Romans 6:14-15, Romans 5:2) The Lord Jesus, our Anointed
Redeemer, work the works He accomplished under the Old Covenant and its limitatins. We have a New Covenant with better promises so we are free to move onto realms His Covenant would not allow (Hebrews 8:6).

For God so loved the cosmos (creation) that he gave His only begotten
Son, Who came to seek out and rescue that (not those) which was lost,
for the Anointed Redeemer paid the price not only for our sins but
also for or to redeem all of creation (John 3:16, Luke 19:10, 1 john
2:2). The word translated world in John 3:16 is literally the cosmos
or all of creation. Jesus came to redeem all of creation. The religi-
ous myth that He came for man or simply to save man from sin fails to take in the whole of God's plan. When man fell, the authority and dominion, which had been given to him, fell with him. God wants it
all back. Man surrendered it, man must restore it. The Original Intent of God must be and will be fulfilled. Will you be one who will
rise up?

God had a vision, an image, an intent in mind when He created His man
and set him over His creation. Adam allowed a competing word from a
source other than God the Creator to enter into his thought process. Jesus taught us to "take no thought saying" (Matthew 6:31) so that we
would not repeat Adam's failure. The Potter, God, had Adam on His design wheel, shaping him so that man could re-shape the earth. Satan
entered the garden (though Adam had the authority to keep him out) and began an attempt to frustrate the will of God and derail the
purpose of God by marring that shaping process. To do this, Satan
had to get Adam's permission. Satan used deception to cause Adam to defeat himself. Adam gave up what empowered him (the word from God)
to embrace what defeated him (a word contrary to the word of God).
The devil is powerless against any person who refuses his lies and rejects his schemes, which are always arrayed against the word God has already pronounced.

We must understand that from the conception of man, to the salvation
of man, to the rule of man it has always been the heart intent of God that man be in God-given authority and that divine authority be
exercised in the earth through His man. When we see and walk in this
empowerment, every lie, trick, scheme or argument brought by the devil is powerless before us, our Lord, and the word of His Covenant
He has deputized us to use.

The plan of God cannot and will not be frustrated by the failure of man. The first of man, Adam, had fallen short of the purpose of God for man to rule in the earth as a King (Romans 5:17). But when man
fell, the very first prophetic utterance of God was a revelation that man would one day rise up to the Original Intent and rule in the
earth. If not in the first Adam, then it would be in and through the
second Adam (our Messiah, the Anointed Redeemer of God).

God decreed to Lucifer that he would not get away with what he had
done. In Genesis 3:14 the serpent is cursed. In Genesis 3:15 God puts war between the woman and the devil. Betwwen her offspring, or what would one day proceed from her seed ( the seed of the woman who was deceived, not of man who committed treason), will tread down,crush, destroy what proceeds out of the devil and the best the
devil can do is bruise the heel (the lowest extermity of the body
that Jesus is head over, Ephesians 1:22,23) of the body. This will
occur when, as in Isaiah 10:6 the Body of Christ tramples down the governments of the world's system and takes back the wealth of the earth (Isaiah 37:20, Revelation 11:15). Then, finally, when the Church rises up to carry out the Original Intent of God, we will see
the government of the earth being carried, born or at rest on His
shoulder (Isaiah 9:6)(the upper portion of His body, which is the
Church Worldwide).
The gates of hell (Matthew 16:18) shall not be able to withstand
the assault of the Body of Christ. Note, it is not called the gates "to" hell, but rather the gates "of" hell. The fortifications
of evil which seem to protect the world's systems will be trodden
underfoot by the Body of Christ as it walks in the redeemed author-
ity made possible for it in the ressurection triumph of the second Adam. The Anointed Redeemer of God won the battle for us. We must enforce His victory and demonstrate His triumph.
The body of the second Adam, the Church, having been redeemed from the fall of the first Adam, will rise up to do the will of God and to be the ruler and exert the rule God called for in His Original Intent.

*(Genesis 2:11) God told Adam where the gold was and that it was good. God used gold in Heaven and man could use it in earth in like
fashion. He also queued Adam concerning precious stones. God made
abundance and wealth for His man to use and enjoy.
*God sets the boundaries of man's authority or access. As with the
"first friuts", God retained control of something in creation for Himself and man was not to touch it (Genesis 2:17), very much like the tithe. The tree was off limits to man.
*Adam was singular in the earth for some time before Eve came on the scene. We see this in Genesis 2:18-20.
*Just as it would be with everything man would ever need, the answer
to his need for a helpmeet was already inside him. God reached inside
Adam and took what was Adam's to produce another Adam (Genesis 5:2
"and He called their name Adam"). We must learn to draw out of the well of salvation God placed in us. Everything we will ever need is already on deposit within us. God was teaching Adam a lesson in "the
alreadies of God" for God had finished (omega) His plan before He
began (alpha)it.In the 4th dimension everything is already done, in
the 3rd dimension we have to break free from sense domination to embrace the "alreadies of God". Nothing was left out. Jesus was the Lamb slain in the 4th dimension before Adam fell in the 3rd dimension
In fact, the Lamb created the man who would be the reason for his own
sacrificial death (John 1:3).
*Adam, in creative ability, named all the creatures on the earth- and whatever He named them God confirmed it as their name (Genesis 2:
19).
Adam spoke forth the first prophecy in the scriptures. Joining in the
nature of God, he called what was not yet as though it were. Adam
named mother and father when there were as yet none in the earth. He
spoke forth the will of God in marriage, which would represent the
Bride being joined to the Groom, the return of man to God or the
Church to Christ Jesus (Ephesians 5:14-32).
*God came in the breeze (cool) of the day for His walk in the garden
He had planted to commune with His man. On what level of supernatural
ability did man have to live in order to walk with and communicate with the God of all creation?
Until man committed treason he was clothed with the presence (aura)
of, and the anointed presence of the God of all creation. When man
broke the relationship he had enjoyed with God, he did so through failure to obey what God had said. Obedience and performance are
always keys to receiving the flow and provision of God. When one is
willing (to do) and obedient (to fulfill), they will eat (reap) the
good of the land. When the seek first the government of God, which is
His Kingdom, everything anyone could ever want or desire will be
added to them. It all comes through fulfilling His will, His plan and
His purpose, which brings about His govermental manifestation. When
one is in full union with God, they are clothed with His presence. Jesus was, in reference to this, in John 17:22, the Glory- the
abiding presence of God the Father. Adam willingly stepped out of it
in the Garden of Eden; Jesus sacrificially stepped out of it in the
garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:39). The Blood of Redeemption has been shed to break the curse. We can walk back into that presence
of andwith the Father God.
*Man was able to bring joy to the Lord as long as man walked out his
underrulership in the strength that the Father God had given him (Nehemiah 8:10) for the joy of Jehovah is realized in your strength
(Joshua 1:5,6,7) I will be with you-be strong-be courageous-be will-
ing and obedient. All compliance flows from complete reliance on "it is written".

The prayer of our Lord in John 17:20-24 will empower the believer who really lays hold of it.
Verse :20 He prays for everyone who believes the testimony of the Anointed Redeemer of God.
Verse :21 He prays for all believers to be one in the Father's
will, plan and purpose (Ephesians 4:13 addreses this unity).
Verse :21 He prays that all of this will occur while the un-
redeemed are observing it come to pass, thus before the end of time.
Verse :22 The glory that God the Father gave to the Lord Jesus, He wants to be in believers in such manifestation that the world can
see it. In that glory, the believers become one person in thought,
will and purpose. Many people acting as one body, one flow.
Verse :23 God living in the believer, making or causing them to
become mature, perfect, fully god in human vessels-and He wants the
unredeemed to see and witness it. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as
your Father which is in Heaven is perfect." (Matthew 5:48)
Verse :24 He wants the unity of redeemed man to be so complete with Him that they become seated with Him and have the ability to
behold Him in His glory while still in this realm. Paul did, John did, Stephen did, how many others have? I know not, but it is possible to see into the 4th dimension.

The plan of God is seen in verses 26 and 28 of Genesis chapter one. God had a plan and purpose for His man and man was placed in the garden to do His will in that plan (Genesis 2:5).
The charge for man was:
* Man, you were made in Our Likeness.
* Man, you are to have dominion over all creatures on earth, which
are created lower than the level of man-fish,birds,cattle, every-
thing that has movement on the earth.
* Man, I am blessing (empowering to prosper) you to get the job
done.
* Be fruitful and multiply- work the seed reproduction plan I have
put in play-for man and for all creation.
* Fill the earth with what I planted in the garden-for man does not
subdue man, but he does subdue creation.
* Have Dominion- Kingly Rule- over all of creation that is below the
level of man- who is a "living being".
* (Genesis 2:7) Man is a "living being" not a human being. Man
became a human (dirt-earth man) after the fall. Before the fall
he was man, made alive with the life of God. He was a "living
being". After the fall man was separated, cut off from the
presence of God and the eternal life of God.
What can we learn from the interaction between God the Father and the
under-ruler Adam, whom He created and infused with is own life? What
we see of how God and man worked and related together before the fall
will allow us a fuller view of "OriginalIntent". Since God does not
change, the plan He began is still the plan He is waiting for man to arise to fulfill (Romans 8:19).

Adam became the bridge between the Heavenly realm and the Earthly realm. This is the place God made for His man and it is the place to which He desires that His redeemed man return. Meditate this in light
of a few other passages:
* Jesus taught us to pray "Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10) God has but one will. His will that is in operation in Heaven is also His will for the earth.
* Jesus taught us that "Whatever we bind on earth (settle or decree
to be the will of God) must be what is already bound (settled or
manifested as the will of God) and also what we loose on earth must be what is already loosed in Heaven (decreed to be lawful or the will of God)" (Matthew 18:18)- For those who have this passage back-
ward, and teach whatever we say or pray here in earth Heaven will line up with or back, let me remind you God is in charge and he does
not change (Malachi 3:6), His works was finished all before man learned to pray (Hebrews 4:3),He has decreed the end of all things
before He begin them (Isaiah 46:10)and the final nail came from a man
who was after God's own heart who said "Forever, O Lord, Thy word is settled in Heaven" (Psalm 119:89). His word, plan, will and purpose are eternally settled, spoken into being and will be performed by us or in spite of us. We get answers "when we pray His will"(1 John 5:14
-15).
* God gave us all authority in two dimensions: in earth (3rd dimension) and in Heaven (4th dimension) (Matthew 28:18-19).
* God desires for us to rule in this present life as Kings with Christ Jesus, our Anointed Redeemer (Romans 5:17).
* We are seated (aliggned, joint heirs, equal in rights) with Him in the throne room of God (Ephesians 2:6).
* Right now, we are empowered, anointed and filled with His ability,
"as He is now so are we in the cosmos" (1 John 4:17).

Redeemed man is to rule in the earth, subduing and bringing creation into conformity to God's Original Intent. The purpose and person of God is to be represented in the earth by those who are Redeemed of God and to God.

"For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities (inability to produce); but was ia all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."

The second exception to spoken creation is that of woman. Woman was gloriously and wonderfully made from material taken out of man. This follows the pattern by which man was made. Man was formed or made from material taken out of creation, then woman was made or formed from material taken out of man. We can see a chain of creation being formed. Woman came out from man, man came from creation and creation came out from God. Each was out of and a part of and a product of divine purpose.
God had an "Original Intent" in creation, in how it was formed; in why it was made, and for what purpose it was set in motion.

"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."
"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." Genesi 1:26,28

Genesis 1:26 and :28 bring alive the understanding that it was God's intent that man rule over all creation. Man was to subdue it, rule over it, and to be fruitful in multiplying what God has begun. God did not make an earth full of people; rather He put the seed of all people to come in the first fruits (Adam & Eve) He planted. The same is true for the plants and vegetation that God placed into the process. Genesis 2:8 informs that God planted a garden east of Eden
and there God placed the man He created so that just as all mankind
was in the one man He created, all plants that were to fill the earth
were in the seed of the plants God planted in the garden.

"And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed
is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so." Genesis 1:11

God planted all the seed bearing plants, trees and crops in the gatden, which he planted in Eden (Genesis 2:8). He did not fill the earth with vegetation any more than He filled it with people. Every-
thing started with a "first fruits" which was out of God and was God's. The seed or beginning of all things belongs to God. With every crop and every harvest the first fruits would be returned to God. The tithe of all increase belongs to the Lord. God is however, very specific in what and how it is to be returned to Him. Cain had a svere wake up call when he tried to decide what and how it would be offered to the Lord. Returning the first fruits (the tithe) to the Lord is not a New Testament invention, it was not of the Law only, it was proclaimed in the Covenant between Abram and God over 400 years before the Law, but it had its roots in the Garden of Eden. "Returning the first fruits" to God is a pricipal of seed-
ownership and is as old as man and creation. Man, God's man, was to subdue the earth and rule over what God had started as God would Himself. Adam was afirst planting of God with the seed of all mankind in him. The garden was a first planting of God with the seed of all the plant life needed to make the whole earth a garden. All the animals, birds, fish and creatures were a first planting, and in them was the seed capable of filling all the earth under Adam's dominion and direction.
Though God had created the plants, trees and vegetation before He made man, nothing proceeded or progressed until the man who would rule over it and multiply it was placed in the garden.

"Now no shrub of the filed was yet in the earth, and no plant of the filed had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to serve the ground."
"And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there God put the man whom He had formed." Genesis 2:5,8

God had an "Original Intent" for His creation. His man would rule over the works of His hands. Every part of His creation would have elements in common with other parts of creation, an inner connection that would run through all He had made. The very breath of God was in the lungs of man, so that when man spoke to creation, not only was the authority given by God in play, but so was the very breath and life that had birthed all of creation.
God formed the first Adam from the basic building blocks (elements) that made up creation. Ten, God breathed into created man the very life giving breath of God. The life of God was in Adam's lungs, flowing into his blood stream, making alive every organ and tissue with the divine life of God. One could accurately say Adam had the DNA of God. The man God created was now capable of communion with the God of all creation and with the creation God made. Creation's representative/ambassador to God was also God's representative/ambassador to creation.

Beginning with Genesis 1:1 through Genesis 2:25 we have the account of creation which Moses presents. The God of all creation speaks into
creation all that now exists. Everything in creation, all that can be
accessed or contracted by the human senses of sight, sound, taste, touch and smell came into being by the unseen word of God. The universe, or one might say creation, came "out of" God the Creator.
There are two glaring exceptions to the things spoken into being in the creation process; two things that were made by God, rather than
spoken by God.
The first exception to all that was spoken into creation is that of man, whom God skillfully forms from the smallest particles, the prim-
ary building blocks of creation. God formed man from the elements that comprise the earth He had spoken into creation. The minerals, the acids, the water, the soil, the proteins, etc. are all elements
used in the formation of man. The physical make up of the earth itself, having like proportions, so that man, like earth, is 70% salt
water.
Man was made, or formed out of, what God had already created with His words. The physical part of man is one with the earth God created. The very elements or building blocks of creation worked together in Adam's physical form. When God breathed into His man His very breath, man became alive with the life and nature of God. Because with the breath came the life, man is one with creation in physical make up and man is one withGod spiritually, having received
the very life of God. The very DNA of God flowed into created man. Being one with creation and one with God, man was perfectly capable
of representing the interests of God to creation and the interests of creation to God. When the second Adam, Jesus, came to earth, He would also have to relate to and represent the physical and the spiritual to fully reconcile them.

"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same," Hebrews 2:14

"Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethen, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted." Hebrews 2:17-18

DaddyGod I decree your will, plan and purpose be done through this site and the ones that are called by your name the redeemed of the Lord that you will begin to flow by your Spirit in and through them.
That no weapon formed against them or their households will prosper, that every tongue that speaks against them will be condemn. Every incantation, curse, soulish prayer we cast it down and call it null and void of effect. DaddyGod we celebrate the victory at the cross that Jesus the Christ of Nazareth paid for by his blood. Thank you Sir for all the Divine Appointments you lead to us. Now we speak confusion to the enemies camp and release the Angels of the Lord to aid in their behalfs.

well once upon a time back in the day someone from a certain group of people that today people look at the fastest growing religion in the world said that when they rid of all infidels by sticking a feather in christians blood to rid of them and it would satify them to do so, thats how the feather that is in their top-hat is the color of red. that is the meaning of the red fez!

like i said when things hit home thats when people hearts begin to change. and i dont have to explain this to you. if you dont know you just dont know. i will not argue with you on here but i will make a stand about it and not back down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like this free floating forum but until things hit at home individually is when people wake up and make a stand that our
forefathers did not allow. Maybe we need statesmen not......
