• 1:24
  Speaker 1: We to start with some word definitions.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: This will be lesson one.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: We'll start with some word definitions Elohim, e-l-o-h-i-m.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Elohim, elohim, elohim, it's God.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It's plural, it's God, the Father, and it created, it brings something into existence, caused something to happen because of God's actions.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: God's actions.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: How does God create?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, you're going to like this.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: How does God create?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Genesis 1, 3.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Hmm, and God said Let there be light.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And there was light.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: God saw that the light was good and he separated the light from the darkness.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: God called the light day and the darkness he called night.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And God said and God said and God said, and God said Genesis 1.3, genesis 1.6, genesis 1.9, genesis 1.11, genesis 1.14, genesis 1.20, genesis 1.24, and Genesis 1.26.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You plant seeds.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: That's how you bring God's Word into action.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: That's how you bring your Word into action.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: That's how you bring yourself into action.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Everything is a seed planted in the earth and when it receives or is planted, it produces what is inside the earth and it brings forth a plant.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: You sow a seed of corn, you put it in the earth, and the earth will bring the nutrients out of the dirt and put it in the seed, and the seed will grow first to the blade, the ear, the full kernel of the ear, and you reap a harvest out of that.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: That's true with everything.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: That's how it comes into being Genesis 8, 22.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: While the earth remains seed, time and harvest and cold and heat and summer and winter and day and night shall not cease.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: How long does planting seed growing crops last?
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Forever.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: That's how it works.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: If the earth was created by words, then how is something created that you can't see or feel or touch?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Still by words.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Faith is the substance that holds it together and brings the unseen into reality.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Now, faith is a substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Nothing gets done until it is spoken.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: They put a rat in a water, a laboratory rat, not somebody you know or dislike.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: They put a rat in water and they had him tread water and he lasted 15 minutes in the water.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: They took him out, dried him off, warmed him up and stuck him back in, let him rest up a little bit, stuck him back in there and put him back in the water.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: How long do you think the rat could tread water the second time he was in there?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: For 15 minutes.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: The second time he was in there for 15 minutes.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Well, he treaded water 60 hours because he had hope.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: You think that you have a lifetime?
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: He had hope.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: The Godhead in Christian belief is the Trinity, or God the Father, god the Son, that's Jesus, the Word, and God the Holy Spirit, that's the Spirit of God.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: God the Father, god the Son and God the Holy Spirit are all God that function in different ways.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Water can be expressed in three ways.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: It can be a liquid, a solid and a vapor, but it is always water.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: What was the condition of the earth in Genesis 1-2?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: It was without form and void.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: God didn't create it that way we won't get into it in this lesson but the devil had control of the earth and it was form or void.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: What was the first thing God created?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Well, it was light, john 8, 12.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Light, the sky, the dry land, the plants, the sun, the moon, the stars.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: That's the order of creation.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: So we see that Genesis 1, 1 through Genesis 1, 9, that God has created from dark and void to an earth that has meaning and direction.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Think about the earth's orbit, its structure and all we know happen, but are not able to comprehend it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Isaiah 40, 12-15, verse 10, genesis 1-10.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And God, elohim, the Godhead, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, is the gender of male, and the dry land, earth gender is female.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: How do you find that here?
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: So we find that God's gender is male and we find that the earth is female.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: What does God put in the earth to get stuff to work, he plants the seed.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: He plants the seed into the earth.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Does it really matter why God is of a male gender and the earth is of a female gender?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Think about it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Explain it if you can.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Everything is set up on God's law and statute, that is, it's governed by the seed, time and harvest.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Law of gravity is overcome by the law of lift, romans 8.1.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: So let's switch gears here a little bit.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: To help you understand this a little bit, if I want to fly in an airplane, I can go out there in the airplane and sit in the airplane, start the engine up and as long as I don't do anything to it except just fool around, I'm not going to fly.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: In order for me to fly, I've got to overcome the law of gravity by the law of lift.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: So when I apply power to the airplane and get it going down the runway, when I reach a certain speed, the plane will pick up, the wing will pick it up and the plane will fly.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: And it will continue to fly until my speed slows back down and hopefully I'm landing.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: But if my speed slows back down, then it will quit flying.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Everything is done by seed and planting and if you want to overcome the law of gravity, you're going to have to overcome the law.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, if you want to overcome the law of gravity, you're going to have to overcome the law.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: If you want to overcome the law of gravity and fly, you're going to have to overcome it using the law of lift.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: So we see, the earth was created out of seed, planting, watering, cultivating and harvesting.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Where did the seed come from?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: What is the seed made of?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Well, it's made of God and his words.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: We call it faith.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: That's the seed.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: It is by faith you're saved through God, not of your works but of God.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: God plants the seed in you and you've been given the measure of faith.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: When you get the measure of faith and you plant it, and you plant your faith, the seed plants in the earth, in your heart, and grows and becomes.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: When everything had been created, what did God say?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I'm tired, no.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: He said in Genesis 1, 26 and 27,.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Everything that he created, it was very good.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: What was the first thing God said to Adam and eve?
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, you don't like this.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: That's genesis 1, 26 through 28.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Let me find it here and read it genesis 1 26.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Then god said let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Then God said in his own image, in the image of God, he created him male and female.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: He created them 28.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: God blessed them and said to them Be fruitful and increase in number, fill the earth and subdue it, rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Then God said I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: They will be yours for food.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground, everything that has the breath of life in it, I give every green plant for food.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: And it it was.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: So.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: God saw all that he had made and it was very good.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: You like that.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: You're starting to start to see a pattern here and planting seeds and stuff.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: So what was the first thing god said to Adam and Eve?
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: He blessed them.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: What blessing mean?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: It means to say something good about it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: He said he was pleased, he liked it Because God set it up to meet his requirements and man is made in the image and likeness of God.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Man can meet the requirements and man can rule the earth.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: And God gave this earth and the lower part of the heavens there to Adam to rule and reign and control.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: And so Adam had the earth to control.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: God doesn't have everything under control.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: God gave it to Adam and Adam had an earthly, so to speak, and he turned around and gave it to the devil.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Why.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Gosh knows if we can answer that one, that'd be a genius.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Well, if I was Adam, I wouldn't have done that.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, don't kid yourself, we probably would have gone first thing Beat Adam.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Genesis 2.17 states that if Adam or Eve eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that they will die what dies.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: They didn't die physically, what died, their soul died, the spirit man died.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Death does not mean cease to exist or not to exist.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Death means that spiritually, you are separated from God.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: That's death.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: So what does it matter?
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Why does all this matter?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Well, it matters because what you say in life determines where you are in life.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: You can have what you say, we have been saying, what we have, and the world is negative.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Any dead fish can float down the stream with the others and all are swept away.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Come alive how?
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: By planting seeds, good and righteous seed.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Now let me get you, we got you going here and got you thinking.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Let me throw this in here before I go everything is a seed that you plant your actions, your words and earth has everything it needs to produce that seed in you.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: The earth also has everything you need to produce weeds and thorns and bristles, thistles.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: That's what I was trying to say.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: The earth is going to produce what comes out of your mouth.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Consider carefully your words, like the life, the power of life and death are in the tongue and you're going to eat the fruit of it.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: All right, next week we're going to get into more sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping and sowing and reaping, because it is the entire story of God.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: God fixed it so we could plant a seed, nurture it, water it with his word, and he would bless it and cause it to multiply and bring forth more.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: God's arithmetic is add and multiply.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: The devil's arithmetic is add and multiply.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: The devil's arithmetic is subtract and divide.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: You have a blessed day in Jesus' name and I'll see you next week.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Study Genesis 1 through 3, chapters 1 through 3.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: That's where we're going to be for the next few days.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Remember the 1 through 3.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: That's where we're going to be for the next few days.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Remember the Lord loves you.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: The Lord bless you and keep you.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious unto you.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: And you're going out and you're coming in and you're lying down and you're rising up, in your laughter, in your tears, in your joy, in your lying down and in your rising up, in your laughter, in your tears, in your joy, in your sorrow.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Until you come to stand before him in the day of judgment, man shall give an account for every idle, inoperative, nonproductive word they speak.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Jesus is Lord.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus is Lord.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Is Jesus your Lord.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: You have a blessed day In Jesus' Lord.
