GOD'S Image

In today's article, we'll look at God's image and the breath of life.

Genesis 1:26 (KJV)

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.

God created man in his image.

You are not an ordinary person; the world may make fun of you and call you names, but don't let it bother you. Always remember that you are God's image. Do not let anyone deprive you of the wonderful truth that you were lovingly created by God. You are his much-loved. He wants you to enjoy life on Earth and have complete control over everything.

In the preceding verses Genesis (1:3-25), God created everything with his word, but when it came to human beings, he took a personal interest and molded man in his own image with his hands. You've got his personal stamp on you. Because of this, the psalmist declares, "I am fearfully and wonderfully formed." You will be able to conquer all of life's obstacles once you comprehend in your heart and mind that you were created in the image of God. You might wonder how. The solution is given below. Please continue reading.

Take a closer look at the verse Genesis (1:26) God intended for man to rule over all of creation. Except for the human, none of the creation bore images of God. He has so abundantly blessed him that he reigns supreme over all of God's creation.

According to the first book of the Bible, man has dominion over all of creation.

Now, look at Luke 10:19. (KJV) 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.

The above is a New Testament verse. Jesus is repeating what is stated in Genesis 1:26. God wants you to be a conqueror rather than a victim.

Man has authority according to both the Old and New Testaments. Are we, however, capable of exercising our power? Are we overcoming obstacles in our daily lives? Are we winning these battles as God intended, whether at work, in our spiritual lives, financially, or emotionally?

How were the first humans able to rule over the entire creation?

Genesis 2:7 (KJV) 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.

Man was created from the earth and was nothing more than a clay model. He was devoid of life. When God breathed into his nostrils, he became a living soul. All of the creatures were created simply by his command of his word. Animals and birds did not receive God's breath through their nostrils. He only did it with the human he created with such care. And since man has the breath of life in him, he is able to rule everything on earth.

Adam and Eve were doing well and ruled over the entire creation that God had given them.

However, the serpent deceived the first human being in the Garden of Eden, causing mankind to lose God's crown of glory. God, on the other hand, had a plan to restore man's authority, and He sent his own son to die on the cross for us. When you are washed by Christ's blood, you are restored to God's image. On you, the image of sin is no longer visible.

God breathed life into man's nostrils, causing him to come to life. Read God's word every day, get his life, and begin to overcome all of life's obstacles, just like Adam and Eve did before their fall in the Garden of Eden.

2 Timothy 3:16 (AMP)

All Scripture is God-breathed

Start reading God's word every day and make it a habit. Life is infused into lifeless areas of your life as you read God's word. Remember, man was made of clay, but when God breathed into his nostril, he became a living being.

 Isaiah 54:17 (KJV)

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

The devil creates weapons to use against you. However, because you are created in the image of God, the devil's weapons cannot defeat you. He customizes his weapons to attack God's children, but we must remember that you are made in HIS image, and these satanic weapons cannot conquer you. Yes, you will be attacked, persecuted, and go through trials, but you will triumph in Jesus' name.

He can't do anything on his own since the devil is a copycat. He looks at God's work and does the exact opposite. In the image of God, man was created. Now the adversary is attempting to steal that concept and is targeting God's children by constructing demonic weapons and tools in the image of the devil. While God gave life to humans, the devil is attempting to murder you and bring death into every element of your existence.

 When you are washed by Jesus' blood, you are restored to God's image, and when you begin to study the Bible, life is imparted into your life. As a result, no matter what kind of weapon is created against you, it will fail.

 God has provided us with Jesus' blood and the Word of God to defeat all of your enemies' plans and destroy his weapons formed against you.

 

You are God's image, and you have authority!

 

In Christ,
