The day God created you He was very pleased! Genesis 1:1,27 & 31

2/24/2020

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 NKJV

So, God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created Him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27 NKJV

Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So, the evening and morning were the sixth day. Genesis 1:31 NKJV

Do you believe God created the heavens and the earth? Do you believe God created the first man and woman in His own image and likeness? Do you believe God was pleased with His creation?

These verses tell us about the nature of God. They tell us why God created us. They also tell us who the Lord created us to be!

My wife and I watched the movie Expelled with Ben Stein. Ben interviewed Scientists, Astronomers and Educators. He discovered there is a deliberate effort to conceal the fact very few of them believe the current theories of how the universe was created.

Some people say there was a very large explosion. From that explosion the planets, stars and eventually life evolved. The problem is they cannot explain who or what caused the explosion!

It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out there must be some sort of first cause for an explosion. You do not have to be an Astronomer to know explosions do not create. They destroy. Common sense tells us an explosion cannot occur in the vacuum of pre-creation!

The God who is revealed to us in the bible created the heavens and the earth!

God created you in His image and likeness. He created you for the purpose of loving you. God created you so you could love Him. The Lord created you to live in an eternal loving relationship with His Son Jesus!

Adam and Eve disobeyed God. Sin and death entered the world. Satan was given a measure of authority over the earth. God has an enemy who seeks to destroy the Kingdom of God. The devil cannot destroy God. We are the object of his wrath.

God is restoring His creation one heart and soul at a time! The Lord wants you to partner with Him today! Jesus wants to bless you today! He wants to use you to bless other people today!

Do not be deceived by the far-fetched fantasies of people who are wise in their own eyes. Almighty God created the heavens and earth. The Lord created you in His image and likeness. God was pleased when He created you. It pleased the Lord to demonstrate His love through the birth, death and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ!

You can please the creator of heaven and earth today through faith in Jesus Christ!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

The day God created you He was very pleased! Genesis 1:1,27 & 31
