I want to first take a moment on pre-briefing everybody on why this mysterious and yet most

necessary aspect of God is so critical to our oneness with God and our overall belief system.

Captured inside this one verse are three mind-boggling truths that if, in my opinion, faithfully

applied, it makes so much spiritual sense. And we need this because it speaks to the identity of God, God's character, and the fullness of God. Now, I am my own, I'm not able to deliver

such a message with much clarity, especially the points that you were here tonight. But God,

as our pastor always says, but God is faithful. And it's by his wisdom and his power and understanding that such a topic

will be broached without a sure blessing that only the father from above can and will give.

So our study for tonight will begin in the first book of Moses, the book of Genesis, captured

in chapter 1 verse 26, if you're not there

already, I would encourage you to turn there, but it will be on the screen as well. So as the

word of God reads, then God said, let us make man in our image according to our likeness.

Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air,

and over the cattle, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. And I dare

not go at this alone, so now let's pray. Loving Heavenly Father, I want to thank you so much for providing

this opportunity for us to assemble together, bring us together one accord for one reason,

and the only purpose is to hear your word.

So would you just extinguish all emotions and all things that may have pledged us throughout the week?

And at this moment, allow us to be still so that we may hear you and hear you well.

And by the power of your might speak in our lives. In the name of the King of Kings, Jesus,

the Christ we pray.

Amen.

With the Lord's permission,

...
