Daily Bread - Nov 22 2006
Genesis 1:26 - "And God said we shall make Adam in Our image with Our likeness and they shall rule over the fish of the sea and over the foul of the heavens and over the animals and over all the earth and over all the moving things moving upon the earth."
The Hebrew word 'cidmutenu,' meaning "after our likeness," refers to the inward nature of God. God's unique purpose for man has never been fully realized. Paul expressed the will of God for man in Romans 8:29 when he said that we have been predestinated to be conformed to the image of the Son. Now because of His unspeakable gift and wonderful work of grace we are able to walk in His glorious likeness (2 Corinthians 3:18).
The enemy of God, Satan, was able to deceive and corrupt man but God sent His Son to break the power of deception and corruption so that the redeemed man can be renewed in knowledge, righteousness, and true holiness after the image of God (Colossians 3:10; Ephesians 4:24; 2 Peter 1:4).
Will you participate with the will of God today and allow God's glory to be revealed through your life? All Father is asking us to do is to simply yield ourselves to Him so that He may be revealed through us (Romans 6:13; 8:14; Galatians 1:16; 5:16).
Blessings,

- I started this blog back in 2005, but in 2006 began dedicating it solely for the purpose of posting email messages called, Daily Bread, sent out Monday through Saturday by my pastor, Mark Spitsbergen. These daily emails contain fresh revelation that Mark gets from the Word of God by the Holy Spirit for that day for the church that God has called him to pastor, Abiding Place. 1 Peter 4:11 says, "If any man speak let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister let him do it as of the ability which God gives that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen." Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, (John 14:6), and He says, "The words that I speak to you are Spirit, and they are Life." (John 6:63). For the Word of God is quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).
