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 (tame) beasts, and over everything that creeps upon the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth, 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; male and female He created them."
The Original Intent from the Father's heart was to have a family, made in His Own Image and Likeness. There was no class of beings among the creatures of the heavenlies, made in God's Image and able to fellowship with Him, so He created mankind to do so. Now, God could share His Great Love with mankind, like He desired. Being a parent myself, I recognize the difference between friends and my family who shares my blood ties. Adam had a blood tie with the Almighty God, which placed him in a different place in God's heart. Adam was to be the very seed of plenty, for the future of God's desire.
The Law of Genesis or "seed producing after it's kind," is found in Genesis 1:11-12,14 (Amplified), which says, "And God said, Let the earth put forth (tender) vegetation; plants yielding seed and fruit trees yielding fruit whose seed is in itself, each according to its kind, upon the earth. And it was so." The earth brought forth vegetation; plants yielding seed according to their own kinds and trees bearing fruit in which was their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good (suitable, admirable), and He approved it."
John 1:1 (Amplified) tells us, "In the beginning (before all time), was the Word, Christ, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself." Verse 14 goes on, "And the Word, Christ, became flesh (human, incarnate)."
1Peter 1:23 (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." The Law of Genesis tells us that, "Every Seed produces after kind" and we've been born of HIS SEED, made in God's Own Image and Likeness.
It's not prideful to believe and accept it, but it's confidence in God's Truth. Jesus wasn't being arrogant and prideful, when He said that, "The Father and I are One." He was speaking Truth. Jesus also spoke Truth in John 17:21 (Amplified), when He prayed, "That they may be one, just as You Father are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us. So that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me." We've become one, by the Seed of God Himself. We're made in His Own Image and Likeness, because every seed bears fruit of itself.
The Law of Genesis is true for every species of creature and plant, on this planet. A kernel of corn will never produce a pear tree, just like a pear seed will never produce corn. We're made the righteousness of God, in Christ Jesus, according to the Law of Genesis. The Seed of Righteousness can never produce anything, except after kind. This is the Power and Truth of God's Word, which is His Seed.
Carnal minded men try complicating and dismissing this basic Truth, but apple seed continue bearing apple trees despite what they think. Jesus spoke about the Law of Genesis, in His "Parable of the Sower," saying in Mark 4, "The Sower sows the Word; the Word produces after kind for all that have ears to hear and receive the Seed into their hearts." If there is no Seed, then there will be no harvest. When one says, "I'm not righteous by my new birth," then they're really saying that, "Jesus, the Seed, isn't Righteous and doesn't produce righteous creatures after Himself."
Through Jesus, we share in every victory He accomplished by Himself for us. Jesus didn't need to debase Himself, in order to become Lord, because He was already Lord. Jesus did everything He did, in order to bring us back to the Father's Plan. Jesus' death and Resurrection broke the power of sin from those who would believe. Now with sin removed, the Door was opened for mankind to return to God's Original Intent, from the beginning. Sin was remitted, removed and replaced by righteousness, in Jesus.
Jesus has redeemed mankind from sin and death. The authority of the Adamic mandate, has been returned to mankind again, in the Name of Jesus Christ. This doesn't mean that any man or woman has authority over everything that happens, but we do have authority over our own lives and the lives of our families. Jesus didn't stop every storm happening on the planet, while He was on earth. He only stopped those in His realm at the time. The Body of Christ, as a whole, can exercise authority together, over all areas of this planet, using the same authority Jesus delegated to His Body.
From the moment of Jesus' Resurrection, satan set out to destroy the validity of this awesome Truth and he has nearly removed the Truth of it from the eyes of God's people. We keep separating flesh from Spirit, removing most of the Spiritual Life of God in our lives and believing it's for after we die and go to Heaven. God has chosen to place this awesome Spiritual Power in our house of flesh, in order to bring this world into order by His Spirit.
Sin is eradicated from those who accepted Jesus as their Lord and the Blessing and Original Intent of the Father is restored to us, as His family. We still live in a house of flesh, so satan tries using our carnal emotions to turn us from the Spiritual Life to the carnal life. We must learn that the Spirit is in us and we have dominion over this house of flesh that we're now living in.
