And God Said
Standard: of recognized excellence or established authority,
When the word of God get set in stone in our conscientiousness that it is the truth from beginning to end: the works Jesus did you and I will do also.
Is:59-19 the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard..........
And God Said, Command ye me. Is:45-11
Gen:1,1-29
1 In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
I believe this light represent God's glory that only immortals can dwell in, this was the first day.
The fourth day
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day
This is the only light we know as humans on this earth.
v-26-31
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.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 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.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Reading from beginning to end, the whole bible speaks about what God said. Now we can't do the whole bible in one setting but we can show you some of what God said that will benefit us now in our journey with the Lord and if we endure to the end Eternal Life.
Gen:2-7,16-17
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 soul. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Gen:3,1-12: read it, it tells us about the deceiver satan the devil
After God created Adam and Eve, the only legal way for a man to enter into the earth is to be born of a woman, if you come any other way you come as a thief, a robber, an alien, an enemy to God.
Gen:3-20
And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Gen:4;25-26
Ps:115-16
The heavens even the heavens are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
Once you are born into the earth you are issued documents of proof called a Birth certificate and later, a Social Security card.
Jn:10-1,9
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Ps:100-3
3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Rev:12,7-9
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Question, is Satan legal or illegal in the earth.
If you were born in Africa and would like to live in the United States, first you need a passport to legally enter. Then you must apply to become a citizen.
Within that period of time, if you are not accepted you become an illegal alien, and or if you get caught without legal papers the authorities will extradite you back to your own country or put you in jail.
Prov: 6,30-32 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
Gen:3,1-10
1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself
.
Immediately after Adam received the lies of Satan, death was put on the table and men began to die that very day as God said. Now men have become fearful and afraid after handing the authority and power God gave him over to Satan without a fight.
Gen:3-19
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Question, how was man to rule the earth and have dominion over it? God didn't give man any physical tools, what was man to do. He would rule this earth with his words!!! Just like God.
Because Adam didn't stand in his authority and cast the devil out, he delivered unto Satan the power and ability God had given him to rule the earth, subdue it, and have dominion over it. Now Satan have become the God of this world system he has corrupted. Rom:6
Lk:4,6-7
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
Rom:6-16 Know
ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants
ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto
righteousness?
Adam killed God's man creation by choosing to receive the lies of Satan rather than obey the word of God.
Now we see how Satan became the God of this world, and this is only temporary until his lease run out and God get through using him, his end will be the lake of fire burning forever. Rev:20-10
Rev:20,1-3
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. WHY?
Rev:20,7-10
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever
.
When God created man he gave him a heart to love, fear and obey him. Then God empowered man In V- 28 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.
We can plainly see in the beginning on the six-day man's mind had not been corrupted by Satan, but was blessed by God to rule the world. God and man having sweet fellowship together.
However, we don't know how long that fellowship lasted but we do know latter on the six-day Adam failed to stand in the authority given to him by God but handed it over to Satan without a fight.
Now, I want to show you the devil is powerless to every believer that will stand in the authority God has given us, just like he was powerless to Adam. All Adam had to do was cast the devil out of the garden and it would have been so.
Your faith in God and you being in Christ gives you access to the authority and power, God delegated to man (Mk:11-23) When God raised Jesus from the dead Satan was defeated and man was given a second chance to receive Eternal Life if he keeps the commandments and abides in the word of God unto the end.
2Corth:5,17-18
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
(That old man of sin who was controlled by his carnal mind through the workings of Satan doing things contrary to God is dead. He was drowned at the baptism in the name of Jesus.) Now God has anointed and commissioned every believer in Christ to be his spokesman all over the world. (2Corth:5-19)
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
When you repented of your sins and received Jesus as Lord of your life you became a new creature in Christ-like Adam was new in the beginning with a mind to love, fear and obey God, but he failed. What will you and I do.
Lk:10,18-20
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
The devil is a spirit, created in heaven not the earth and is trespassing seeking whom he may devour. Our job is to do like Jesus did when the devil spoke to his mind after coming off the 40 day fast, speak the word and cast him out whenever or wherever he is found.
Ps:115-16
The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
Let's look at spiritual law: God's Word
Ps:89,34-37
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
Ps:119-89
For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
Jn:2-5
At
the marriage at Cana the wine ran out and Jesus mother told him, and
Jesus said what has that to do with me. Then Jesus mother told the
servants: whatsoever he say unto you do it.
Is:55,10-11
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Mk:11,22-23 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
Mk:16,15-18
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Phil:2-13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Why do you think God had to prepare a body for Jesus?
Jesus had to have a flesh, bone, and blood body to receive the anointing of God to die for the sins of mankind and do the things he did in the earth. Remember God gave man the authority to rule the earth and he never changed it.
A man put us in sin and it would take a man to get us out through death. A sin sacrifice to satisfy the death sentence God placed upon man because of sin. (The wages of sin is death.....) Rom:6 23
Lk:1,30-38
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God....but he operated in the earth as the son of man.
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Heb:10-5
5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Satan knew Jesus as God but not as the Son of man, because he didn't understand the virgin birth of Mary, see Satan is not so smart. Jesus being born into the earth gives him the right to receive power and authority to rule in the earth as a man.
Satan is a spirit that was cast out of heaven to the earth. Even thou Adam handed his power and authority over to Satan there is little or nothing Satan can do except he finds a body that will agree with him to work through.
And even when he find somebody to agree with him, the greater one abide in us. Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world.
Lk:22,67-70
67 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
68 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
70 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
Lk:8-28>>> Mk:5-7>> Matt:8-29 demons knew him as the Son of God and not the son of man.
Ephe:4-27
27 Neither give place to the devil.
Matt:28,18-20
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
To anyone listening that has repented of their sins and received God's forgiveness and is baptized in the name of Jesus, God has anointed you with the H-G and power (Acts1-8) over the devil and demons to cast them out and do the works of Jesus in the earth.
God took us back to Geneses when all things were new and all things were of God. The body of Christ today stand parallel with Adam when God created him and delegated to him, power and authority to rule and have dominion over his enemy in the earth.
Why are we so fearful and afraid, what are we going to do Israel, obey God or bow to the devil? Jesus said he that believeth on me the works that I do shall he do and greater works shall he do
The body of Christ will obey God and go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature and then the end will come.
So it behooves all of us to set our house in order and walk in obedience to our Great God and say to the world, Jesus has paid the price for you to be reconciled to God. Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Acts:2 38
If we obey and do what Jesus tell us to do, live this life to the end, when that seventh trump sound, we will become God just like Him.
Remember the devil is defeated and Jesus is Lord
