The second part is the physical part – that God formed us and together with His breath or Spirit we are a living soul.
The physical needs to be touched, let it be through a kiss or a swipe of a hand across the face wiping a tear away. God Himself stated that it is not good for a man to be alone:
Genesis 2:18 ( KJV ) 18And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help mate for him.
Within history, the Church has told us, flesh is evil and desires will send us to hell. The fact is, God did not say that a man needs a helper. God stated that a man should not be “alone.”
The first thing you need to understand about your man – ladies; and yourself – men is… God stated that you men should not be alone. This means that a man needs to be around something or someone. However, if it is not of God then it is of Satan, called the streets, drugs, alcohol, prostitution, and/or pornography.
No man can be alone. He will fall, not because of a weakness, but because of his strength. What I mean is this: When God formed Adam, giving that form a spirit, called a breath – Adam was at that time the purest and perfect being on this Earth. Jesus did not sin, but Jesus still came from a woman; Adam came from God Himself. No one on this Earth has been purer. This means, there is nothing Adam was that God was not. A Spirit that comes from God, a Form that comes from God – anything after Adam, all they could do is to be a helpmate. Adam was perfect.
In fact when Satan looks at a man, all Satan sees is God… The image of God, the Spirit of God and God’s authority called dominion. This is why Satan is attacking man – because every man that goes to church and goes through Jesus, that man is being more like his Father God, and being a child of God, Satan HATES that and will steal, kill and destroy that man.
I say all this because, it is through the physical that God made man, and it is the physical that will trip up and destroy men. Satan cannot kill the God within man, but he can fool the child of God into thinking he is not of God, therefore the dominion that was given would be destroyed and the identity of man will not be of God’s identity, but of a man who is not worthy. Satan will use any means necessary to kill that man.
What could kill a man? Yes, it could be you ladies, the “white man,” poverty, Willie Lynch, Jim Crow, the Welfare system, and so on. All to keep the man down, keeping him from knowing who he is as God. Man, who was given the image, the likeness, the breath and dominion over everything. Kill the man and you kill the link to God.
Genesis 2:18 ( KJV ) 18And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help mate for him.
The second thing I need you to understand is a help mate does not have to only come from the woman. In fact, the first thing God created was not the woman, but the animals of the fields.
Genesis 2:18-19 ( KJV ) 18And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
The reason is to show the importance to man. Between woman and man, God put the animals of the field between the woman so that man would know that this Earth is most important. The animals help to “dress it and keep it” which is most important to God, more so than even a woman.
Genesis 2:15 ( KJV ) 15And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Don’t get me wrong, a woman is very important, just not the most when it comes to God and His plan for man. God made woman to help the Spirit of God, that is within every man, to help the man be called a child of God or son of God. Not to promote them to be a gangster, a pimp, a player, or even to be a weakling. Think of it this way, if you look at your man as someone who is lesser than a son of God, then know it might be hard for you to be any man’s helpmate.
I’ll finish next week to close it out.
In Love
