“In the beginning,” God used to come and fellowship with mankind; Adam at the time. What followed was a daily chat and commune discussing the plans for how the world should be ran. Let us remember that God is the Boss as Adam was able to hear Him clearly.
We know this because Adam was able to name all the animals in the earth by what their function was; it was by this meaning that He named them.
With God, I believe everything has a function and a reason for its name. We see this naming process, according to its happening, throughout history. How else could these names have such significance except by listening to suggestions from God’s wisdom?
God said: Let us make man in our Image
Which we have learned from His Word is in three (3) parts: Spirit, Soul, and Body.
Father… “I AM (John 1:1).”
Son… “The Word (John 1:14).”
Holy Spirit… “in charge of His righteousness in the earth (can you locate this verse?).”
Now our Bible teaches us that God is a Spirit. And those who worship Him must do so “in Spirit and Truth (John 4:24).”
Adam was given dominion and naming authority on the earth. Conversely, his job was to tend to and keep the garden according to the Bible.
Jesus said
God is a Spirit. And those who worship God must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth
(John 4:24). Quite possibly this meant, knowing and recognizing His voice (like Adam) in the cool of the day. Remember He (God) was walking in the garden, in the cool of the day (Genesis 3: 8), and came to Adam and said “Adam where are you?” So this proves that Adam could hear and know God’s presence by His Spirit. It was around like the invisible wind, still able to hear by the results that followed Him being on the scene.
Adam spoke to God after being questioned. So we know that God speaks to mankind, right?
It was by man’s similar image and spiritual likeness of God, that Adam was able to hear from Him.
To hear from God is the key here. That’s what prayer is for!
Consider this instruction from Jesus himself.
Jesus said to pray like this: (Matthew 6:9)
1. Our Father which art in Heaven
2. Hallowed be thy name
3. Thy kingdom Come
4. Thy will be done in Earth as it is in Heaven
5. Give day by day our daily bread
6. And forgive us our debts for as we forgive our debtors
Well Let’s be “doers of the Word,” and Pray like this, according to the Word of Jesus who represents God Himself, along with the Mediating Voice (Holy Spirit) that communicates God’s instruction in the Cool of the Day (John 14:21-24)
Question?
Can you find the Scripture verse in the Bible that is missing in the above content concerning the Holy Spirit?
