The Making of a Man

God took time to make man. He gave them instructions for the purpose of their life in Genesis 1:28, 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 moves upon the earth. There is no wonder about these instructions. Be fruitful, yield or produce after your own kind in abundance to increase in number that man become great in the earth. God also called man that he may keep the earth that God himself created; giving man direct influence in conquering and bringing into subjection the inhabitants that dwell in the earth. Man was given authority to bring things and keep things under control by exerting the Will of God leaning and depending upon God for their strength. God took time to rest between creating man a spirit being and applying flesh to him and breathing His Spirit into man that made him a living soul. Genesis 2:7 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. God formed and fashioned man unlike any other creature He had made. God gave shape to man and molded him perfectly to be an essential part of Creation. Man did not have to become eligible to be used of God, God made him distinctively and peculiar after his order. It takes a man to make a boy a man.

Man was a created spirit without a body. Man was full of God. He existed in name only, male and female. It was a gap in the time of creation and the finished work. In the spirit man was taught what he could and could not do in the earth realm. Man had been created a spoken Word in Heaven. What man needed in Heaven was already there, but what he needed in the earth was a body, a mind, a soul and a spirit. It took God time to make man.

In the spirit realm from whence man came he was already full of God. So God rest the seventh day and came back to finish man. Genesis 2:7, 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. God made man complete, full of Him. His Spirit made man come alive and without God's Spirit alive in man he is dead.

After God finished Adam, he was a spiritually fleshly earthen being. God provided a domicile for Adam in the eastward part of Eden. Adam spent quality time with God daily. What happened that made Adam stop breathing? Adam first paused a moment when God made him a wife, he stop breathing when he willfully stood by and let Eve be beguiled by Satan. He stopped breathing when he too was deceived by Satan after nothing happened to Eve after eating the forbidden fruit. Adam guiltily partook of the fruit also when Eve gave him to eat. His eyes were opened to the fact that they were naked. The Spirit that was breathed into them that gave them that life of love, peace, and righteousness was gone. To breathe means we are full of God, we have life flowing through our bodies. God's Spirit alive in us means we have gotten rid of the gap where we merely existed but now give God our lives and unlimited use of all we are. In Him we live, move, and have our being.

God put all of Himself in man. What is man? Man is a spirit with a soul that lives in a body. His Spirit being breathe into man's nostrils and a natural process to inhale and exhale began. Also breathing in man is a soul that's operated by his mind, conscience, intellect, will and emotions. When a man's spirit is not breathing the Word of God, he is still breathing but ceases to exist spiritually. The Word is to God as air is to man. Naturally we breathe air and spiritually we breathe the Word.

If we are not full of the Holy Ghost we have no restraints in life. We breathe the Word to develop a flavor and a taste for Heaven. Most men do not like the way God made them but why? Why do we not like the way God made us if we were custom made? Why do we want to function in a way other than what we were made to do? We dress, behave and perform our earthly duties in a way that goes against the Word and Will of God. God molded us as we are, some with defects but man wants to alter and transform themselves into little gods. We do not want the character of God given to us before we became living souls. We follow the influence of the enemy of our soul, a foe already defeated and kicked out of heaven. Why are we so contrary to our Creator? How could we turn our backs on God when He was so good to us?

God was so good he didn't forget that this man he had made needed a place of abode. Genesis 2:8, And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. In this garden was everything man needed to sustain him in the flesh. Did God forget anything? No, He was very thorough, every detail was carefully planned and carried out in His work to completion. God provided man with food, clothing, and shelter. He was their means of support. God put man in the garden to sustain, keep it, dress it, and hold it up. He supplied man with sustenance; support, and maintenance including nourishment or food. Everything man needed to live in the earth was there. Man was to do the maintenance to upkeep, preserve and cultivate the earth. Man had dominion in the earth. He was a self-governing nation under God and they acknowledged God

What has taken man away from the straightway? The lusts of the world, the lusts of the flesh, and the pride of life they continue to seek after that carry them away from God. Satan has been using these lusts to define what was pure as being not pure. God put things in the earth pure but through deception Satan caused man to make them impure. He makes man think that what is wrong is harmless and they should have no fear of God. He makes man think that they possess more wisdom than God. Satan is perverted in his ways, crafty, fiery, charming, and takes advantage of man's frail human nature. He digs into their imagination to paint a vision that is an image of sin being good. Even the Bible says sin is pleasurable but it's not good for the soul. He makes them think that the things that bring pleasure is all good. He causes man to see the flesh through eyes that is full of wicked imaginations.

Because God has told mankind to serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind, Satan grasps the mind with wicked lusts where man’s wickedness is great in the earth. So now there is every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart that is evil continually. It is Satan’s plan from the beginning to cause man to forsake God and they not realize that they could be cast away in a burning fiery pit forever and eternally. Mankind through the sin in their lives cast themselves away from God. God is not glorified in the hearts of men today. And that's not in some men hearts but in most cases. So many people in this life live in the vanity of their ways. This causes them not to come to know God so they are not thankful for what He has done for them since the Creation. Their hearts are darkened.
II Corinthians 10:3&5, though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh; casting down imagination and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

Man has an immortal longing in them for every age and all time. They possess a hope for or belief in a future life in some form. If a man does not reproduce in the earth but submit themselves to the endless perverted way of the Devil, the Devil has one less soul to win. He has deceived man in the form of human sexuality to cut off the reproductive system. Birth Control did not work for him, so now he have twisted men and women minds by using the fact that they would bring children into a corrupt world; their gratitude for the munificence with which this earth is blessed; their admiration for the beauties and grandeurs of this world; and man’s love and devotion to loved ones. In fact man does not realize that the multitude of ties that bind them seem to all echo back into the ear of the Father of all the universal appeal. Our soul, life, joy and everlasting peace is in God the Father. If a man dies shall he live again? We should as a human race love the mighty handiwork, the stupendous creation of our Creators. Satan now tries with all he have available to use to cut off the ears where man cannot hear God for all the things we put in our ears are to draw us away from God. What is it we put in our hearing that takes our minds off God? It is the perversion of television, computers, IPods, IPads, cell phones, perverted music, cursing and no time for God or the building of the family structure.

Between Genesis 1:26 and Genesis 2:8, God rested before he made man with the dirt of the earth, breathe the Spirit in man that he had created and he became a living soul. God took time to make man beautifully and wonderfully to praise Him. We were created to the praise of his glory. Jesus said to glorify the Father and you glorify Him. When a child is born into the world there is joy; even after the pain that is associated with travailing. God is eternal and human sexuality is drawing away his creation because of the misuse and abuse of it. God created man in his own image to live through endless eons. Surely it all combines into a divine guarantee that He breathed into every soul the breath of immortality. There are rewards for obedience and punishment for disobedience to God’s Laws. The dust that man’s heart is embodied will one day return to the earth from whence it came and the Spirit shall return to God who gave it. What is man that thou are mindful of him? God made man a little lower than the angels and He never leaves His Creation. Man desire is to gain the whole world but does not realize they are exchanging their soul for things including a body that they have no right to!

Go back to the beginning to understand and be understood who we are. It’s an uphill solution to a downhill experience to everything that happens in our lives. We can find the answer however in God’s Word. We must live the Gospel printed from Genesis to Revelation. Many have a desire to do right but they are so much like the weather. Many have faced abuse in their lives but they can build a life in spite of. We are God ordained change agents have been called to make a difference but we too have gone from under the protection of God and our very soul is in trouble. Man has failed to realize that God is our all and all. Eternal life is what God intended for man in the earth. Satan’s intent is to cause man to defy God, bringing the Church to destruction and ruin. The Church of the world is a loose church. The Church of Jesus Christ seeks after lost souls. The Church is failing miserably to do a work of Christ
