“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”
Prayer is our means of establishing the spiritual into the natural.
God’s will is already spoken and established in heaven. We bring it into being when we agree on earth
“Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven “
Individually and corporately as church our job is to speak out and to bind that which has already been established in heaven.
We see in Genesis 1 how God has a concept and breathes it into earth and it is good bringing about physical creation from His spiritual words. His creation is good. He makes man and woman in His own image which is Spirit and puts them in dominion to bring order to everything else created.
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”
What exists in heaven and earth is good and then He rests.
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.”
In Genesis 2 God creates a garden and forms a man of flesh to plant its culture and a woman from his bone and flesh to be his helper and tend and provide and she was tempted by the serpent and their disobedience caused the fall.
God has known us all in the spirit having created us in His image in the Genesis 1 era and then having been formed in the flesh from the seed of Adams descendants we are created in the flesh as He told Jeremiah.
““Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.””
Therefore Spirit rules not flesh. God is Spirit. We worship Him in Spirit.
Our life began at the time of perception not at conception. In heaven we were perceived and known.
Our outer form has no power. It is but a body suit of flesh and form to be in the earth.
Our spirit form is our strength and power blessed with a purpose to be.
We may appear to have our best life in the flesh but we will not be living our blessed life until we are in the spirit.
Merely a different format of who we are.
Even in death, we may be a different status and are living.
“In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.” ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.””
When we know whose we are we need never feel lonely or purposeless.
We know we have an assignment. Our work humbles and holds us accountable.
Our communication with God and what heaven decrees becomes significantly important as we are His ambassadors. He has made us kings to rule in His kingdom and Lords to rule on His earth.
He is therefore King of kings and Lord of lords and holds us accountable. Without Him we can do nothing.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.”
God will deliver us from evil.
‘’ Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.’’
He is the power and the glory.
The illustration shows prayer established in heaven in the spirit in our rule, to be established on earth in the natural emanating light that pushes back the darkness.
