Man's body was dependent on his spirit, and
his spirit was to dominate.

His spirit was to rule his mind and his body.

The body exists only for the spirit and soul.

Man is primarily a spirit being, created to
walk with the Father God on His level.

When He created man, God had no body;
yet man's fellowship was perfect and
complete with Him.

Man has refused the knowledge of God
because he hasn't been able to see Him
with his physical eyes, hear Him with his
physical ears, or touch Him.

A fish might just as well say that there's
nothing outside of water, for man to limit
himself only to his sense knowledge.

Because the doctors haven't been able to
find the spirit of man; atheists and the
materialists have said that the body is man.

The Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Angels,
Satan and Demons are all Spirit Beings.

Man's physical senses do not contact this
spiritual realm.

Man's physical senses can only receive
information from like matter. His senses
can understand only his physical or
material realm.

But according to the Bible, there is a
spiritual realm as well as a physical.

The man who is spiritually dead doesn't know
that he is created in God's image and that he
is to walk with Him.

That's because all the natural man is able
to know about reality, he gets from his
five senses belonging to his physical body.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth,
but the word of our God shall stand
forever. Isaiah 4o:8

The body is not man.

The soul is not man.

Man has a soul to use.

Man has a body to use.

The body and the soul

are instruments

used by the spirit, the real man.

The real man is his spirit.

Man is to fellowship with the Father G0d
in His realm, which is the spirit.

The Father God created man in His own
image, a spirit being; but gave him a soul
and a body.

Man's soul and body fits him for his life
in this material universe which he was
created for.

Man's soul is his reasoning faculties.
It is his mind, will and emotions.

The spirit of man is
the real man,
created in
the image of God,
because God is a spirit
being.

"And the very God of peace sanctify you
wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit
and soul and body be preserved blameless
unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

In 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Paul discovered
the fact that man is a three-part being. He
is a spirit, has a soul and lives in a body.

"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him
must worship him in spirit and in truth."
John 4:24

Jesus, Himself, revealed that the Father was
a Spirit Being.

After man
fell in sin,
he became
spiritually dead. He couldn't know what
the image of God was without a revelation
of Him.

Genesis 1:27 records the creation of man in
the image of God.

"So God created man in his own image, in
the image of God created he him; male and
female created he them."

Knowing that fellowship is the reason God
created man, we can understand that man
couldn't meet the reason for his existence
unless he were created in God's image.

In order to take part of God's life, man
has to be in His realm. He must be made
in the image and likeness of his creator.

Man must be created as much like God as
possible in order to be His child.

Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make
man in our image, after our likeness: and
let them have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over
the cattle, and over all the earth, and over
every creeping thing that creepeth upon
the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him; male
and female created he them."

He wanted to make man in His own image!

Genesis 1:25 "And God made the beast of
the earth after his kind, and cattle after their
kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the
earth after his kind: and God saw that it was
good."

After God completed this part of creation,
He put His stamp of approval on it. It would
meet every need man would have.

The home is now ready for man.

Man is the reason for creation. He was
created to meet God's desire for fellowship.

Genesis 1 gives the account of the prepar-
ation God made for man before He created
him.

First, He planned a universe for him, and
in the center of it He prepared a home.

When the foundation was laid for this
great universe, God planned and purposed
it to be the home for man.

In the first chapter of Genesis there are six
creative faith statements.

Hebrews 11:3 reveals, "Through faith we
understand that the worlds were framed by
the word of God, so that things which are
seen were not made of things which do
appear."

It was through His spoken words that He
created everything.

The Father nature of God has been revealed
at creation.

He is also a Faith God and He is Love.

Love caused Him to create a universe. He
created it by faith because He works by
faith with His words.

When man has been born again, his
knowledge of Jesus Christ has taken the
place that the Father should have had in
his life.

Because man can form a mental picture
of Jesus, he has developed the habit of
praying to Him, praising and worship-
ping Him instead.

But the renewing of man's mind by the
Word of God brings a revelation of the
Father to him that will change his life.

Man's mind receives its knowledge through
the senses of the physical body.

The Father has never been manifested to
these senses, because He is a Spirit; so
man's mind cannot form a mental picture
of Him

Sense Knowledge had taken the place of
the Word of God in men's lives.

1 John 1:1,2, "That which we have handled
concerning the Word of Life."

Jesus Christ took on a human body and
was manifested to man.

Satan has been very subtle in blinding our
minds to God's Father nature.

The average Christian has had no real
knowledge of God as being their Father.
This ignorance is due to the fact our minds
haven't been renewed by the Word of God.

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, that ye present your bodies
a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto
God, which is your reasonable service.And
be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Romans 12:1-2

"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good
gifts unto your children, how much more shall
your Father which is in heaven give good things
to them that ask him?" Matthew 7:11

"Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your
Father knoweth what things ye have need of,
before ye ask him." Matthew 6:8

"For the Father himself loveth you, because ye
have loved me, and have believed that I came
out from God." John 16:27

"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth
for you." 1 Peter 5:7

"But my God shall supply all your need accord-
ing to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:19
