Genesis 1:26-27 (Amplified) says, "God said, Let Us (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), make mankind in Our Image (after Our Likeness), and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts, and over everything that creeps upon the earth. So God created man in His Own Image, in the Image and Likeness of God He created him, He created them."
God's Original Intent, was for the man He created to be lord over the earth and everything in it. Psalm 8:4-8 (Amplified) says, "What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of earth born man that You care for him? Yet You have mane him a little lower than God, and You have created him with glory and honor. You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the fields, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and what ever passes along the paths of the sea."
Romans 8:19-20 (Amplified) says, "For even the whole of creation (all nature), waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known (waits for the revealing and disclosing of their sonship). For the creation (nature), was subjected to frailty, to futility, condemned to frustration, not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of him who subjected it, yet with the hope."
Luke 4:6-7 (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 will give it to whomever I will."
Who did God give all the authority and dominion to, in Genesis 1:26-27? Who did God crown with glory and honor and give over all the works of His hands to, in Psalm 8:19-20? Who subjected all of nature in the earth, causing it to groan under this authority? Who gave this authority over to satan's hands, resulting in satan daring to offer it back to Jesus? Adam had dominion over all the earth and everything that creeps upon it and Adam subjected it into satan's hands. It wasn't God.
Jesus is the Son of man and the Son of God. Jesus took back the the Promise and mandate that God gave Adam. Jesus delivered them back into the hands of God's sons, who are the heirs of God and the joint heirs of Jesus. Jesus told us in Matthew 28:18 (Amplified), "All authority, all power of rule, in Heaven and on earth has been given to Me." As the Son of Man, Jesus took back the mandate God gave to the First Adam. As the Last Adam, Jesus divided it equally among those who would become sons of God, as joint heirs. Everything God Promised the First Adam, has now become the dominion and authority of the Last Adam, Jesus.
Jesus took dominion and authority of the fish of the sea, nearly sinking Peter's boat with the weight of so many fish in the nets. Jesus took authority and dominion over the weather, stopping a storm in the Sea of Galilee. He took dominion over the Fig tree and it died from the roots. Jesus took dominion over lack and fed the multitude with five loaves and two fishes. He even took authority over the laws that governed the earth, when He defied gravity and walked on water.
We're sons and daughters of God, through the Last Adam Jesus, and we've been restored into God's Original Intent. This is why all creation (nature) is waiting for the manifestation of God's sons. We've inherited, through Jesus, not just His Righteousness and His inheritance, but all the pledge and mandate the Father gave to the First Ada, "I havem. Some say, "Yes, but Jesus was born without sin." You were born not of "corruptible seed, but bu the Seed of God, which is incorruptible and without born anew, without sin. 1Peter 2:23 (Amplified) says, "You have been regenerated (born again), not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm), but from One that is Immortal by the Ever Living and Lasting Word of God." 1Peter 2:9 (Amplified) says, "But you are a chosen race: a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, God's Own purchased special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of the darkness into His marvelous light."
Our inheritance isn't all laid up in Heaven. God's Original Intent when He created man in His Own Image and Likeness, was for him to be inheritors as His sons and daughters. Our inheritance is as the inheritance of our Savior and Lord, in which we are now joint heirs of Christ. We have His authority in this redeemed planet, or at least the part of it we live in. During His earthly ministry, Jesus didn't take dominion over all the storms on earth, all the trees on earth or all the fish in the oceans, but only over those things in His jurisdiction. If the whole Body of believers would learn to walk in the mandate God gave to Jesus, then through Him, we could set many things aright on this earth.
We believe that Jesus paid for our sins and bought us back, with His Blood, but we believe that much of what He paid for is for "when we die and get to Heaven." What are we going to do with the laying hands on the sick, in Heaven? There are no sick people in Heaven. No one will need to be set free in Heaven, because everyone there is already free and well. Jesus gave this mandate and command to the joint heirs, to do while we're still on this earth. There's no devil in Heaven, who will make us sick, tired, discouraged and bound. We need the power here on earth, in order to set the captives free.
We have the Same Father living in us, Who lived in Jesus here on earth. Jesus said that, "It's the Father in Me, Who does the work" and we have the Same Father living in us, to do the work, if we allow Him to do the work,
1John 4:16-17 (Amplified) says, "And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of), by observation and by experience, and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the Love God cherishes for us. God is Love, and he who dwells and continues in Love, dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him. 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."
This was and still is, God's Plan, His Intent and His purpose, from the beginning. We are to be His family and our inheritance gives us dominion and authority over all the earth and everything on it. If this isn't so, then He wouldn't have redeemed us and raised us up into His place of rule and Grace and dominion and honor and glory. Jesus prayed in John 17:22 (Amplified), "I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one, even as We are One. I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and definitely recognize that You sent Me, and that You have Loved them even as You have Loved Me."
God told Adam in Genesis 3:17 (Amplified), "Because you have listened and given heed to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it, the ground is under a Curse because of you; in sorrow and toil shall you eat of the fruits of it all the days of your life."
Where did the "Curse that is on all of nature and creation" come from" Was it God Who subjected it to the Curse? God gave the dominion over the earth to Adam and he gave it over to satan. God told Adam in the above scripture, "You listened to your wife and took heed to her voice, and you ate from the tree, which I commanded you not to eat from. The ground is under a Curse, because of YOU, Adam!" It was cursed, because of Adam and not because of God. The Last Adam, Jesus restored God's Original Intent, to those who will believe. The Curse is gone and the Blessing that God pronounced on the First Adam is back in order, according to God's Plan and His Original Intent. Don't give that authority away again, because of what someone tells you. Don't be like Esau and give your inheritance away, for a pot of soup. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
