Faith & God's Creation

 

Bishop James C. Hash, Sr

Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, WITH MEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT NOT WITH GOD: FOR WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

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 reproduced Himself in Adam.

  • He created Adam to have rule – a living spiritual communicator

    just like his Creator.

  • He gave Adam a spiritual dominion mandate to rule and to have

    dominion in the earth.

I Corinthians 15:45-49...KJV AND SO IT IS WRITTEN, THE FIRSTMAN ADAM WAS MADE A LIVING SOUL; THE LAST ADAM WAS MADE A QUICKENING SPIRIT.

46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

47 THE FIRST MAN IS OF THE EARTH, EARTHY; THE SECOND MAN IS THE LORD FROM HEAVEN.

48 AS IS THE EARTHY, such are they also that are earthy: and AS IS THE HEAVENLY, such are they also that are heavenly.

49 AND AS WE HAVE BORNE THE IMAGE OF THE EARTHY, WE SHALL ALSO BEAR THE IMAGE OF THE HEAVENLY.

JESUS: THE SECOND ADAM

Matthew 28:18-20...KJV 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. Amen.

  • ALL POWER IS GIVEN UNTO ME IN HEAVEN AND IN EARTH.

  • TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU.

  • LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAY.

John 12:49-50...KJV For I have not spoken of myself; but the FATHER WHICH SENT ME, HE GAVE ME A COMMANDMENT, WHAT I SHOULD SAY, and WHAT I SHOULD SPEAK.

50 And I KNOW THAT HIS COMMANDMENT IS LIFE EVERLASTING: WHATSOEVER I SPEAK THEREFORE, EVEN AS THE FATHER SAID UNTO ME, SO I SPEAK.

  • The Father gave Jesus a commandment, what he should say and what he should speak.

  • I KNOW THAT HIS COMMANDMENT IS LIFE EVERLASTING.

  • God doesn’t make suggestions; He gives out commands.

John 13:15...KJV For I HAVE GIVEN YOU AN EXAMPLE, THAT YE SHOULD DO AS I HAVE DONE TO YOU.

John 3.34...KJV FOR HE WHOM GOD HATH SENT SPEAKETH THE WORDS OF GOD: FOR GOD GIVETH NOT THE SPIRIT BY MEASURE UNTO HIM.

Isaiah 45:18-19...KJV FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD THATCREATED THE HEAVENS; GOD HIMSELF THAT FORMED THE EARTH AND MADE IT; HE HATH ESTABLISHED IT, HE CREATED IT NOT IN VAIN, HE FORMED IT TO BE INHABITED: I AM THE LORD, AND THERE IS NONE ELSE.

19 I HAVE NOT SPOKEN IN SECRET, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek me in vain: I THE LORD

SPEAK RIGHTEOUSNESS, I DECLARE THINGS THAT ARE RIGHT.

  • Make your words agree with God.

  • You must make a quality decision to speak God’s Word in Faith.

Psalm 85:13...KJV RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL GO BEFORE HIM; AND SHALL SET US IN THE WAY OF HIS STEPS.

Ecclesiastes 8:2-5...KJV I COUNSEL THEE TO KEEP THE KING’SCOMMANDMENT, and THAT IN REGARD OF THE OATH OF GOD.

3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

4 WHERE THE WORD OF A KING IS, THERE IS POWER: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?

5 WHOSO KEEPETH THE COMMANDMENT SHALL FEEL NOEVIL THING: and A WISE MAN’S HEART DISCERNETH BOTHTIME AND JUDGMENT.

  • I COUNSEL THEE TO KEEP THE KING’SCOMMANDMENT.

  • THE OATH OF GOD (Hebrews 6:13)

  • WHERE THE WORD OF A KING IS, THERE IS POWER.

Psalm 115:15-16...KJV YE ARE BLESSED OF THE LORD WHICH MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH.

16 THE HEAVEN, EVEN THE HEAVENS, ARE THE LORD’S: butTHE EARTH HATH HE GIVEN TO THE CHILDREN OF MEN.

  • The Church, the Born-Again Believer, is God’s representative hereon the earth.

Psalm 107:20-21...KJV HE SENT HIS WORD, and HEALED THEM, and DELIVERED THEM FROM THEIR DESTRUCTIONS.

21 OH THAT MEN WOULD PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS GOODNESS, and FOR HIS WONDERFUL WORKS TO THE CHILDREN OF MEN!

  • God’s authority in the earth today is His WORD.

  • We are His delegated authority and our authority comes through

    Obedience and Faith in His spoken WORD.

  • Our Obedience and Faith in His WORD establishes our Voice, our

  • Life, our Ministry, and His Kingdom in our life and in the earth.

Hebrews 3:7-12,14...KJV Wherefore (AS THE HOLY GHOST SAITH, TO-DAY IF YE WILL HEAR HIS VOICE,

8 HARDEN NOT YOUR HEARTS, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

9 WHEN YOUR FATHERS TEMPTED ME, PROVED ME, and SAW MY WORKS FORTY YEARS.

10 WHEREFORE I WAS GRIEVED WITH THAT GENERATION, and SAID, THEY DO ALWAY ERR IN THEIR HEART; and THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN MY WAYS.

11 SO I SWARE IN MY WRATH, THEY SHALL NOT ENTER INTO MY REST.)

12 TAKE HEED, BRETHREN, LEST THERE BE IN ANY OF YOU AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF, IN DEPARTING FROM THE LIVING GOD.

14 FOR WE ARE MADE PARTAKERS OF CHRIST, IF WE HOLD THE BEGINNING OF OUR CONFIDENCE STEDFAST UNTO THE END;

  • HARDEN NOT YOUR HEARTS.

  • THEY DO ALWAY ERR IN THEIR HEART...

  • 12 TAKE HEED, BRETHREN, LEST THERE BE IN ANY OF YOU AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF, IN DEPARTING FROM THE LIVING GOD.

  • 14 FOR WE ARE MADE PARTAKERS OF CHRIST, IF WE HOLD THE BEGINNING OF OUR CONFIDENCE STEDFAST UNTO THE END;

    Hebrews 4:2...KJV FOR UNTO US WAS THE GOSPEL PREACHED, AS WELL AS UNTO THEM: BUT THE WORD PREACHED DID NOT PROFIT THEM, NOT BEING MIXED WITH FAITH IN THEM THAT HEARD IT.

• Faith and the Word of God—they are synonymous.

  • Faith will not work without the WORD and the WORD will not work without Faith.

  • The WORD of Faith must be in your heart and in your mouth with corresponding actions.

    Hebrews 11: 32-34...KJV And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

    33 WHO THROUGH FAITH SUBDUED KINGDOMS, WROUGHT RIGHTEOUSNESS, OBTAINED PROMISES, STOPPED THE MOUTHS OF LIONS,

    34 QUENCHED THE VIOLENCE OF FIRE, ESCAPED THE EDGE OF THE SWORD, OUT OF WEAKNESS WERE MADE STRONG, WAXED VALIANT IN FIGHT, TURNED TO FLIGHT THE ARMIES OF THE ALIENS.

    James 2:20...KJV But wilt thou know, O vain man, THAT FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD?

• Faith without corresponding actions is dead Faith.
