In Their Image

Then the Mighty One said, "Let Us make man in Our image; and let them have dominion. . ." So the Mighty One created man in His own image; in the image of the Mighty One He created him; male and female He created them." (Genesis 1:26-27)

So, you are created in His image, Their image! What have you compromised when it comes to the image you claim to represent? What lies have you allowed yourself to believe about it? Would you rather just rest in a simplistic understanding of His image; "His Kingdom is not of this world," (John 18:36), and "No man has seen Him (Yahweh)?" (1Timothy 6:16)

By this time you should be an old pro when it comes to Yahweh's "order of business." Things are always spiritual (unseen) first, before they ever manifest in the physical (the five-sense world). Simply defining terms from their original Hebrew roots reveals what we need to know; or at least it's the starting place of what we need to know. The Hebrew context of "being made in Their image" is most definitely a process of consciousness, long before a physical manifestation. This is the "work out your salvation (saved mind)" mandate (Philippians 2:12). A spiritual Kingdom produces a spiritual image loved one, not one of flesh and blood.

As we define what it takes to conform into that image, we find that becoming that "image" requires much more of a removing than an adding to! It is the process of removing that which does not conform to the spiritual likeness of the Most High. Does not the potter and the wheel come to mind at this time? (Romans 9:21) Pieces of your earthly mind are spun in the Hands of the Master Potter as your vessel is formed, and anything not needed is tossed away. This assures that none of your earthly mind (dross) is left.

"Have this mind in you, the mind of the Messiah!" (Philippians 2:5) Never settle for thoughts of the ego, the reprobate thoughts within you (Romans 1:28). Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of the Mighty One. (Romans 12:2)

Listen closely loved one; In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that He [Yahweh], for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer [Yahshua the Lion!] of their salvation perfect through what He suffered. (Hebrews 2:10)

Yes, Yahshua physically manifested the image of Yahweh, and this physical manifestation was possible as a result of His crucified mind; "Not My will, but Yours be done!" (Mark 14:36)

The eternal image is a Spiritual image and manifests only after we shake off this tent of flesh. And the two (the Hebrew number for "opposition") shall become One (right brain; male; wisdom joined with the left brain; female; understanding). It is the perfected conscience; the mind of Yahweh!
