Genesis 1:27-28 (Amplified) says, "So God created man in His Own Image (in the Image and Likeness of God), He created him; male and female He created them. And God Blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, using all its vast resources in the service of God and man; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth."
When God created mankind, this was His Original Intent for what was to be His Own family. In In 3:17 (Amplified), God speaks to Adam, after his transgression, saying, "Because you have listened and given heed to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the Tree which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it, the ground is Cursed because of you; in sorrow and toil shall you eat of the fruits of it all the days of your life."
The above scripture tells us that the Curse came, because of Adam and not because of God. God's Intention for His family, hasn't changed, nor will it ever change. Ephesians 1:27-28 (Amplified) says, "For we are God's Own handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, born anew, that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand), for us, taking paths which He prepared ahead of time, that we should walk in them, living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live."
Luke 4:6 (Amplified) says, "And [satan] said to [Jesus], To You I will give all this power and authority and their glory (all their magnificence, excellence, preeminence, dignity and grace), for it has been turned over to me, and I give it to whomever I will."
Adam obeyed satan, instead of following God's Word and he transferred his authority and dominion over to the hands of satan, who God exiled from Heaven. Thus, satan became "the god of this world," instead of the man God gave it to. 2Corinthians 4:4 (Amplified) says, "For the god of this world has blinded the unbeliever's minds, that they should not discern the Truth, preventing them from seeing the Illuminating Light of the Gospel of the Glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God."
The carnal mind cannot conceive the Gospel of Jesus Christ, because satan has blinded the minds of men, so they cannot discern the Truth. The Father's Original Intent was restored to His new creation man again, when Jesus was raised from the dead into Glory. The new creation people (us), have lost sight of this Truth and are waiting to go to Heaven, in order to have this Great Promise made ours. 1John 4:17 (Amplified) says, "In this union and communion with Him, Love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment with assurance and boldness to face Him, because as He is, so are we in this world."
Jesus was never under satan's dominion, during His earthly ministry, because Jesus was without sin. Jesus took back the Blessing and authority and dominion over this earth again. Jesus directed the weather, defied gravity, fed multitudes, subdued the fish of the sea, and received God's Original Intent again, for mankind. Through Jesus, we are also without sin and have the Blessing working in our lives again, just like Jesus did. Jesus prayed in John 17:18 (Amplified), "Just as You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world."
Matthew 28:18 (Amplified) tells us, "Jesus approached and breaking the silence, said to them, All authority, all power of rule in Heaven and on earth has been given to Me." The Father's Intention for His family to have dominion and rule, has now been restored back to His children again, through and by Jesus Christ. This Original Blessing God placed on the First Adam, has now been reinstated by the Last Adam, Jesus. Galatians 3:14 (Amplified) says, "To the end that through their receiving Christ Jesus, the Blessing Promised to Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, So that we through faith might all receive the realization of the Promise of the Holy Spirit."
The Promise of the Holy Spirit is the Power and ability of God, to take back what satan negotiated Adam out of. It's the same Power of the Holy Spirit that Jesus used, during His earthly ministry. The Gift of the Promise of the Holy Spirit, is that now God's family has been reinstated to His "prearranged Plan" for us. We're new creations in Christ Jesus and have the God of Heaven and earth living in us. John 5:19 (Amplified) says, "So Jesus answered them by saying, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the Son is able to do nothing of Himself (of His Own Accord), but He is able to do only what He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does is what the Son does in the same way (in His turn)."
