Who’s Image?
This morning as I am getting ready for my day, the Lord began to speak to my spirit about some of what is taking place today with our children. Let’s look at some scriptures.
Genesis 1:27
27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. (KJV)
Matthew 19:14
But Yeshua said, “Let the little children come to Me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (TLV)
Matthew 18:1–7
1 At that hour the disciples came to Yeshua, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2 And He called a child to Himself, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, “Amen, I tell you, unless you turn and become like children, you shall never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever then shall humble himself like this child, this one is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever welcomes one such child in My name, welcomes Me.
6 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who trust in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck and to be sunk in the depth of the sea! 7 Woe to the world because of snares! For snares must come, but woe to that man through whom the snare comes! (TLV)
In our Bible, God says we are created in His image and we are to be as a child. How do you become like a child, you ask. We believe God’s Word and do not doubt it just as a child believes every word their parents tell them, good or bad, while they are small. Children trust their parents with their entire life!
1 Peter 5:8
8 Stay alert! Watch out! Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, searching for someone to devour.
John 10:10
10 The thief comes only to steal, slaughter, and destroy. I have come that they might have life, and have it abundantly! (TLV)
Who is this adversary, the thief, the fallen angel, Lucifer (morning star), devil, Satan?
Isaiah 14:12–14
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Ephesians 2:2
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (KJV)
When Lucifer fell from heaven, he brought one third of the angels with him. Lucifer’s name was changed to Satan and he is also known the devil, the adversaries, the accuser of the brethren, the enemy, prince of the air and more.
In Isaiah 14:14b, Satan states that he will be like the Most High, that is to say, he will be like God.
As we read in Genesis 1:27, God created mankind in his own image, and today we see where a different type of person is being created and it is not by God.
Satan is wanting mankind to be created in his image. What does an image of Satan look like, you may ask. No, he is not red with a pitchfork in his hand and long pointed tail. Let’s look at the picture of the idle that has been created for worship that (1)contains these binary opposites — above and below, part animal, part human. Male and female.
What’s my point..I read articles, see videos, watch very little news, however, children are being destroyed. Children that were once created in the image of God are being turned into something else.
So thankful that our Heavenly Father forgives us. All we have to do is repent of our sins and then turn from them.
Make sure that you are saved.
John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.(KJV)
If you have never asked Jesus Christ to be your LORD and Savior then pray this prayer with me; “Lord Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart and forgive me of all my sins. I believe that You were born of a virgin, died on the cross for all my sins, was raised from the dead on the 3rd day and that You are coming back again. I repent today and turn from my wicked ways. Come and fill we with Your Spirit, in the Name of Jesus, AMEN!
I am excited for you! What’s your next step? Find yourself a good spirit filled church. Get yourself a Holy Bible. Your new church will help you find a bible. Start reading God’s Word, and talk (pray) to God.
Matthew 6:33
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.(NJKV)
And remember this;
Romans 12:2
2 Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the will of God — what is good and acceptable and perfect.(TLV)
Also, remember the devil is always wanting his own kingdom because he wants to be a god. He counterfeits the things of our Heavenly Father and he is the opposite of our Heavenly Father. Search your bible just like you would search for lost money or jewelry. Your bible is filled with treasures and life.
Numbers 6:24–26
24 “The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.” (NKJV)
