God’s Exciting Glorious Work For Us In Eternity Part 2

by Creflo A. Dollar | Articles, Victory, Your Destiny

The Garden of Eden is God’s blueprint and purpose and intent of how things should have been in life! The Bible is not necessarily a history book, it has history in it but I need you to see it like this – the Bible is God’s plan of redemption, it is how He plans on redeeming what was lost.

We need to gain a clear understanding of what was lost, we need to gain a clear understating of what needs to be redeemed! When Jesus on the cross said it is finished He was not talking about the whole plan of redemption. He was referring to the Abrahamic convent.

See’ our bodies still have to be redeemed, lot’s of things have been redeemed but we still need to take care of that as well, so we need to understand the plan so we can understand where we are in these last days and what’s going about to take place in your life.

Now the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden and the tree of life in the garden both of them were in the garden with several other trees. But it specifically talks about these two trees. Genesis 2:10-15, And a river went out of Eden to water the garden and from hence there it parted and became four heads. The first Pishon; it is the one which skits the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. And the gold of that land is good.

In Genesis God makes things with His words.

Voluptuous Living

The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which goes around the whole land of Cush (Ethiopia). The name of the third river is Hiddekel (Tigris) which goes toward the east of Assyria. And the forth Euphrates. And the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden, now Eden means voluptuous living and also means never-ending supply!

So God put him in a place that would supply voluptuous living and a place that had never-ending supply. He put him there to dress it and to keep it or to guard it. Obviously there was warning given that there is a devil loose, he deceived a third of the angels in heaven, and God kicked him out of Heaven and he is somewhere around you all.

Something like this God said to Adam, I’m starting you off son in this area here, the garden is the glory and you’re the glory, you’re the manifestation of My word, you’re equipped and your blessed. You have the ability and enablement to guard this garden, to keep out all intruders and open a can of whoop if you got too, you have that ability! Praise the Lord!

Then the Lord God command the man, saying, “Of every tree, of every tree, of every tree is that what you have in your Bible? Of every tree of the garden thou mayest eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil shall not eat of it, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die. Genesis 2:16,17.

So how many trees were they forbidden to eat from? One. What was the name of that tree? The tree of knowledge of good and evil. Ok, here is what I can’t figure out, you can eat of every tree in the garden would that also include the tree of life? Yes.

Had he of eaten of the tree of life then we would not be going through of this stuff were going through right now. He would have been the same forever had he of eaten of the tree of life! We would be all sitting here butt naked if he had eaten the tree of life. There wouldn’t of been no selfish awareness or nothing.

Follow me here now I’m going somewhere, God said now if you disobey Me and eat of the tree I tell you not too eat of, for in Deuteronomy it says it is a blessing if you obey and a curse if you disobey. So God said if you do this, the day you do this you will surely die.

Now Adam didn’t drop dead that day, Adam lived for over nine-hundred years, he lived to nine hundred thirty years. Man’s body was created to live forever to regenerate itself and keep on going, we were never created to die. In fact the reason it took Adam and all those guys lived so long they had to learn how to die. Their body was ready to live forever.

Can you imagine living nine-hundred years? That’s a long time! The church would just get tired of you, laughter.. That what I’m telling my church right now’ I’m believing God for long life, strong life a 120 years! I tell them, I’m outliving all of ya.

Now watch this, He made him to live forever and remember what He told them, I’m creating you guys two to have dominion to have authority, I want you to fill the earth, and watch this next verse, but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat of it for in that day you shall surely die.

And the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help that’s suitable and proper for him, a suitable help, I said a suitable help, so God knew what a suitable help was and made him a suitable help called a woman.

And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird fo the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living… O’ O” now Adam is calling it! O check it out lady’s and gentleman God has just now turned it all over. He said I gave you a garden, you are the glory and now here’s your job.

God’s Job For Man, The Glorious Plan

God saying something like this: Your job is to be god on this earth like I am God in Heaven, you are My reflection. I’m going to start you off with a garden right here, I’m going to start ya off, I’m going to show you how to do it, use your words like I used My words. Your job is to take your words your authority, your dominion, your seed and do what I did too create this earth.

Your job is to spread this garden until it covers this entire planet, your job is to reproduce what I created, to reproduce your glory – you and Eve get together and have some more glory. We are going to start a franchise! A glory franchise!

And as we produce more glory we are going to expand Eden for voluptuous living were going to expand it until it covers all the earth. And nobody is going to ever die, and somebody says, won’t we have an overpopulation problem?

Listen to me ladies and gentleman’ Our God is just not the God of the earth! He is the God of the universe! Please understand that if Adam accomplished what he was supposed to accomplish and fill the earth.

God’s plan was now that you filled this earth, I got another planet and do the same thing there, when you have filled that one’ I got another one and do the same thing there and fill that one.

God wanted a whole universe – a franchise of Garden of Eden’s filled with the glory’ with voluptuous living all over the universe! Hallelujah! Glory to God!

So Adam gets started and there’s a devil still lose, so the devil says I got ‘a stop this. What is this man that God is so mindful of him, anybody seen this before? That He visits him and that He made him in his image and reflection what is this man? That God gave dominion and authority to.

And said I want to be like God and I will exalt my throne above the throne of God and I will be like the most-high God (Isaiah 14:13). And I got to figure out how to do this. Check it out now’ the ranking order is this: God, man, angels.

I know Psalms 8 says that he made man a little lower than angels. That is a miss translation. He made him a little lower than Elohim. Made him a little lower than God. God, man, angels. So God made man to resemble Him and be like Him. Which mean’s that man has creative ability like God! Angels do not!

Satan is not to be feared! He was created to work for you! He is in the class of angels, he is an archangel, he wants to be a god. He wants to be a god like God’s children. God made Adam to be like Him. God made Adam to be god over this earth like He is God over Heaven. God made it that way.

God gave man dominion to be god, God gave him the authority to be god and God said I give you everything to run it just like I would run it. And Satan said I want to be like a man because a man is just like God. Then someone would say are you trying to say you are God. No’ I’m not saying your God, you’re never going to be God but you are born of God’s stock!

That’s your pedigree, you were made like God, you’re in the image like God, you’re in the likeness like God, you speak words like God, you create like God! No you’re never will be big G. But you are without a doubt little g’s.

I said, You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High.
(Psalms 82:6)

Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ?

Glory to God!

(Psalms John 10:34)
