Genesis 1:26-27 man was created in the image of God to take dominion. We have the image of God, His heart. Likeness is the mind of God. Dominion is the expression of God's character.
- Most want dominion than image and likeness.
- The image and likeness produces the dominion.
1. IMAGE is the heart
- Prov. 4:23 it is in the heart we produce issues of life. It must be 1) Protected, 2)Provide Col. 1:9, 3)Purposed/directed 21:1
- Guarding your heart is an intentional move. It's a process
- Eph. 3:20 the image we carry will determine our dominion.
- it's in the image where identity and character are formed.
LIKENESS; the Mind
We think like God. You receive word in your heart, you process it in your mind.
- Discernment is in the mind. Timings.
- Wisdom, knowledge, understanding
- Romans 12:1-2 we are transformed by the renewing of our minds to conform to the mind of God.
- Those with the mind of God have solutions in the society
- the progression of the image is on the mind.
- Gen. 41: in likeness you manifest discernment, wisdom and the spirit of God. V.4-39
- this ushers you to dominion. V.40-41
a) Nurture your thoughts continually
DOMINION
- we have the nature of God in us.
- Col 3:10 we must mirror God. Col.1:9
- Eph. 4:24 put on the newman
- Subject yourself to the right light. John 1:4-5, 2cor.3:18, Psalms 139:13-16, Jeremiah 1:5
- Gen. 2:7 we received the life of God
- the first image per Gen. 1:26-28, 2:7, was deformed in Gen. 3. Christ came to restore.
- There are old things we received that do not mirror the true image of God. We must deal with them that reflect God as He is through Christ.
- Col. 1:15 Jesus C
