Made in His Image

A few months ago, I was on a train looking out the window. It was around 6 am and the sky was overcast with rain clouds, but it has not started raining yet. The morning breeze was ticklishly chilly and saturated with a plethora of smells...wet earth, green leaves, smoke from a fire lit in a thatched hut. Even though there was no sun, the sky was illuminated in a magnificent way giving the entire scenery a brilliant grey background.

A few white birds flew past when I felt the tender voice of the Holy Spirit tell me that all of what I was seeing and appreciating, all of mother nature in her magnificence, was created by the Word, the Breath, the Vibrations from the mouth of God. He spoke and they came to be. Hallelujah!! My spirit rejoiced with the Spirit of God. And then in a way that only God can, He blew my mind with the next thing which He pointed out. He said, "..but son, I formed you by My hands"!! Oh the joy that flooded my spirit at that moment. A silent but powerful revelation.

The Psalmist realized the glory of God which was manifested in the human form and proclaimed in worship, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalms 139:14). Beloved we are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). Although we are on earth, our blueprints are heavenly, we are images of the Holy, Omniscient and Omnipotent Master of the universe. Hallelujah!! Our bodies were not meant to be afflicted with maladies and stress. We were created to soar, to commune with Heaven and walk hand in hand with Elohim. The human body is a masterpiece. It is perfectly designed to resist disease, fueled by two sources of energy - one of the world and one divine (proving our supernatural tie with the Creator) and built to live long and meaningful lives on earth and then live forever in Jesus Christ.

Beloved, you are not an accident. You are not a product of chance, improved over millions of years of evolution and survival of the fittest. You are a masterpiece crafted carefully in the comforting hands of a Loving and Caring Father. His love for you is unfathomable. The Apostle Paul concludes, "For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38-39).

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever may believe in Him, will not perish but will have everlasting life" (John 3:16). Beloved the Messiah, promised to Abraham was born on Christmas day. The Christ, Yeshua, the Saviour was the Son of God, the Holy One of Yahweh made flesh, born to die, the Lamb who would take away the sins of the whole world (John 1:29). Hallelujah!!

Paul, by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, says, "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Ghost" (1 Corinthians 6:19). Declare these truths over you bodies today, and witness the healing power of Jehovah Rapha in your lives as you call on His Name. Finally, I quote the words of John, who knew the Love of God, he said, "Beloved, in regard to all things I pray that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers" (3 John 1:2).

Shalom!!
