IN HIS IMAGE=AND=IN HIS LIKENESS (GOD'S POWER)

IN HIS IMAGE=AND=
IN HIS LIKENESS (GOD'S POWER)


We are ALL made
IN the image =and the likeness
Of God


And SINCE we are made
In HIS IMAGE=and
In his likeness


We all have
The CAPACITY to contribute
To GOD'S KINGDOM


“You will receive POWER
When the HOLY SPIRIT
Comes upon you........” Acts 1:8


GOD'S kingdom is FULL of paradoxes-
And is full of BEAUTY
And since=we are MADE
IN his image
And in his likeness


We have the GOD-GIVEN POWER
To serve=to do GOOD=
For others-
And to LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS


But first we must
ADMIT to ourselves
That all of our POWER


ALL of our CAPACITY to serve others
COMES from God


We MUST admit to ourselves
That we are powerless
And BECAUSE we are MADE
In his image and likeness


OUR POWER-depends
On the GRACE of God


“Then God said:
'Let us make MANKIND
In our image
In our likeness


So that they may RULE
OVER the fish and the sea
And the birds in the SKY
….......'” Genesis 1:26


“So GOD CREATED mankind
In his OWN IMAGE-


In the image of God
He created them


Male and female-he CREATED THEM” Genesis 1:27


All of our power=COMES
From God


Because we are MADE
In his image=and=
In his likeness


GOD is with us=and-
ALWAYS working through us


And because we are
In HIS image and likeness
We must=GET TO WORK


So that ALL PEOPLE
May KNOW GOD'S LOVE


So that EVERYONE in this world
MAY get to know=
The BEAUTY of GOD'S power
And LOVE=in their lives


“ONE thing-
I ask from the Lord
This ONLY-do I seek


That I may DWELL
In the house-of the Lord
All the DAYS
Of my life


To gaze on
The BEAUTY of the Lord


And to seek him
In his temple” Psalm 27:4


“YOUR beauty
Should NOT come
From outward adorning-


Such as elaborate hairstyles
And the wearing
Of gold jewelry-or fine clothing


RATHER it should be that
Of your INNER SELF


The UNFADING BEAUTY-
Of a GENTLE AND QUIET spirit
Which is=OF GREAT WORTH
In GOD'S SIGHT” 1 Peter 3:3-4


My friends=you were MADE
In the IMAGE AND LIKENESS
Of God


You were MADE out of
The LOVE OF GOD-
And because of HIS POWER


You will LIVE FOREVER AND EVER=
In Jesus' name
