¶ Living in Truth - Genesis Chapter 2
Good morning , good morning , good afternoon , good night , hello , hello somebody . This is Learning to Live in Truth . I am Catherine and I'm so glad to be with you one more time . I hope all is well with you . I hope today has been a good day . Holla , I am ready and I hope that you , you are ready to get into the word today .
If this is your first time joining us , this is us , or me , going through the word of God book by book , verse by verse , being a light to the kingdom and a help to you , getting a better understanding of the word of God .
That's a quick rundown of exactly what is learning to live in truth , and God has led me to bring it in with God's diamonds in the rough , bringing it together , intertwining together . Amen , because you are a diamond , it's rough , it might be hard , but you're still a diamond . God is bringing something good out of it . He's bringing you more clarity .
He's bringing you more of what you need to go forth , amen . So I'm not gonna waste any time . We're gonna go ahead and jump into it so we can get as far as we can on today . Let's go ahead and pray . Father , we thank you so much for your grace and your mercy . Thank you , god , for allowing us this day .
Thank you for allowing us another opportunity to be able to get into your word . I pray , god , that you would grant us a fresh , fresh word , fresh , anointing God . I pray God that you would grant us a fresh , fresh word , fresh , anointing God . Pray God , that you would use me to your glory . Every ear that is listening , god bless them .
In the name of Jesus , god , I pray that it's your diamonds . We would shine for you . Pray , god , that you would do a work here through your vessel . God , use me to your glory , you will have your way . We pray that . All of this , we pray it all In the precious name of Jesus Christ . We do pray , Amen , amen and amen , hallelujah , all right , y'all .
So we left off . We finally finished chapter one . Yeah , and this is Thursday and we're jumping into chapter two , and so , if you didn't know it , this is the last day of the week for learning to live in truth . Then , on Friday , possibly Saturday , we'll have two interviews that we recorded on God's diamond in the rough , amen .
So I'm a firm believer that , um , everything falls in place and you know god does nothing by accident . He , you know , everything works together for our good amen , even though it might make might not make uh sense to you , might not make sense to me , but it's all working for our good . Hallelujah , amen .
This is how I I think , this is how I move , and I'm so very grateful because once upon the time I didn't amen . Come on somebody . So we are chapter two , genesis , chapter two . I'm picking up the first verse . I hope you are there , hope you got your word .
Um king james version for me , uh , whatever version for you , please follow along if you're riding along , uh , just be intentional about listening because there is something for you , amen . So he says verse one thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the host of them . Uh , he says , I think that's interesting too .
He said and I just actually just caught that all the hosts and all the host of them hosts , as um hosts is like represent , uh , so , um , everything that's within the earth represents god . Yeah , um , jesus , come on somebody . He says . And on , wait a minute , I'm going back , hold on , I just got another moment .
He said thus the heavens and the earth finished and all the host of them . I wonder , since we represent God and everything else Represents His power , his anointing . He says that he , we , are his image , made after his likeness . I'm just having a thought inside thought here , I guess .
Look at my I'm just looking at my cross-reference here H God , let's see Psalms 33 and 6 . Let's see something real quick , because it has the cross references right beside all . And that's the same thing that I kind of just the spirit called me here for a second . I just got to check it out . Just bear with me . Bear with me . Psalms , what did I say ?
Psalms 33 and 6 . Let me tell you something . Y'all , I am one of the rare finds I guess you could say . Because I'm so in tune with Jesus , so in tune with the Spirit , I will stop in a dime when he gives me something . It's just like a profound thing . I will stop on the dime , forget the agenda . Come on somebody , hallelujah the agenda .
Come on somebody , hallelujah . I got to see what the Lord is saying . Let's see Psalms 33 and 6 says by the word of the Lord Were the heavens made and all the host of them . By the breath of his mouth , mmm , mmm , hmm , hmm . Let's see this verse and what follows specify this psalm as a creation hymn , along with Psalms 8 and 104 .
Even though they refer to different things , the word of the Lord here and in verse 4 are related in that they both originate with God . The Lord of creation is the God of revelation . Woo , y'all heard that that was a good word . Oh , my gosh , that was good . He said the Lord of revelation I mean the Lord of Creation is the God of Revelation .
My , my , my , if y'all write me down , I would greatly suggest you write that down . I'm going to say it one more time because I feel like that needs to go on the post . Come on , somebody . I feel like that needs to go on the post . Come on , somebody . The Lord of creation Is the God Of revelation .
This is distinctive From other ancient world religions that had Myths of creation Involving a creative word but did not tie that act To any Subsequent history . In the biblical text , the God of history who interacts with his people is the same God who spoke the world into existence .
This brings together the general revelation of creation and the special revelation that God gave to his people . General revelation of creation and the special revelation that God gave to his people . And it goes on to say see note 19 , verse 7 through 9 .
I'm not gonna go there , but I don't know , I just felt drawn to to dig a little bit , a little bit deeper into that all , into that uh , I guess you could say phrase , all the host of them . Yeah , we all represent , everything , represents God , and God brings forth the revelations .
Just as he created all things , he brings forth the how , the when , the , what , the why , the how , the where . Jesus , god , just give me a minute . Hallelujah , that's powerful God . It's the Lord created , the Lord of creation and God of revelation . Lord of creation and the God of revelation man . I'm going to tell you what he said .
Meditate on this word day and night . I'm telling you you got to stop and think about what you just read and what he's saying to you , jesus . It will change your perspective on things . It will open up your eyes to see depth . D-e-p-t-h . When you're looking at the word , you'll see depth . We all represent the heaven and earth man .
He said and on the seventh day , god ended his work which he had made and he rested on the seventh day From all his work which he had made . And he rested on the seventh day From all his work which he had made , and God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it Because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made .
So Verse 3 lets us know that the third I mean the seventh day Is a day where you ought to rest , work for six and sit for seven . Come on somebody , work for six and sit for one . Work for six , sit for one . Does it have to be Sunday ?
No , but it should be a day where you do nothing , one where it is Dedicated to resting , spending time with God , spending time with your family , resting Jesus . Wow , do you do that ? How do you do that ? Yeah , do you do that ? I try to do that , but sometimes I do , sometimes I don't , but I've been trying .
I've been very intentional over the past , I would say in the past year about doing it God's way , because I and this is personal testimony I was just like slam busy all the time , and it even got to the point where , on Sunday , I was doing so much that I couldn't rest on Sunday because I had to complete what I had started .
Uh , the first six days of the week . Come on somebody . You understand what I'm saying . Yeah , god has sanctified that seventh day for you . Amen , so that you can rest . Now it's up to you to use it or receive it . Uh , yeah , it's up to you , up to you , it's up to me for us to take that seventh day and rest .
It did not create our bodies and for our minds to be going all the time . The God of creation rested , so why shouldn't you ? I'm just saying yeah . He said verse four . These are the generations of heaven and of the earth .
When they were created , in the day of the Lord , god made the earth and the heavens and every plant of the field before it was Turn the page , y'all , before it was in the earth and every herb of the field before it grew For the Lord , god had not caused it to rain upon the earth and there was not a man to till the ground .
Now , I don't know if you knew , but the whole entire chapter , the whole entire first chapter , was a vision . Yeah , this is what God wanted to do . This is what he said he would do . Okay , he had already said it in his mind and in his heart . This is what is going to happen each day . This is what's going to happen .
I'm going to bring forth life and this is what I'm going to do . He wrote the vision . He made it plain . Verse 5 lets us know I'm going to bring forth life and this is what I'm going to do . He wrote the vision . He made it plain . Verse 5 lets us know . And I'm going to read it again . I'm going to read it slow so you understand .
He said and every plant of the field Before it was in the earth , before it was in the earth . So that means that it did not come yet . He said Herb of the field , before it grew , before it could grow , before anything could happen . He said for the Lord , god had not caused it to rain upon the earth . He said it had not rained .
It comes out of the rain , comes out of him . Rain brings for life and we live in a world where , if it rains , everything stops . You hear what I'm saying . We look at the rain and we say , oh , it's dreary , it's this , it's that we make rain bad . We don't receive the blessing that comes out of rain . Rain is the blessing . Something comes out of rain .
Rain is the blessing . Something comes out of the rain . Come on somebody . We can say that figuratively , we can say that literally and we definitely definitely can say that spiritually . Something good comes out of the rain , he says .
And there was not a man to till the ground , there was not a man available there to be able to take care of what had come before . So , technically , who had to come first before anything else could ? Man , he says .
But there went up a mist from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground and the Lord God , formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life , and man became a living soul , hallelujah . So man was here before anything else was . Yeah , a whole lot of folk think that .
Oh well , you know , everything else came , and then man came . Nope , if we're reading the scriptures correctly , we see that man came first , before anything else could come . After man came forth , then everything else could come Because man was able to take care of it . We all have responsibility , hallelujah .
If we are not prepared to take care of it Y'all excuse me it cannot come forth . Okay , hallelujah , we have all these visions , we have all these things in our minds and our heart that we want to do , but if we are not prepared to take care of it , it cannot come forth . This is why much is given , much is required amen . You get more .
You better know it's going to be more responsibility , more responsibility . So I'm done . I hope y'all are , hope y'all got it . Let's pray , father , thank you so much for this day . Thank you so much for this day . Thank you so much for this word . We bless your name as we bless your people .
May everybody got a clear understanding that you are the Lord of creation and the God of revelation , jesus . God , I thank you , father , for that Amen . You are the one , ultimately , that reveals it all . I thank you , father , for that Amen . You are the one , ultimately , that reveals it all . I thank you , god . We all thank you . We bless your name .
Pray that you will continue to do a work in us that only you can . I pray , god , that oneness that pray for me that you are the . I am , that you will be the . I am that they need you to be right there in that moment . We thank you for your healing , your miracle working power , thank you for your revival , thank you for your restoration .
Lord I'm saying it as it's already done Thank you for manifesting yourself in me and in the people that believe and stand on your word .
