Spiritual Warfare Part 4 by Jay Meyer January 25, 2015
Genesis 1:28
Notes:
To understand our role in spiritual warfare it is instructive to look at the first
instruction God gave to Adam and Eve before the fall. Was God revealing
to us His primary purpose for mankind on the earth? What else would it
mean?
What was the earth like at the time of the fall of Adam and Eve? Was it
all a beautiful garden or was it a place that needed tending, that needed
cultivating, needed man to overcome in partnership with God?
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and
multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea
and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the
earth."
Be fruitful - 6509. parah, paw-raw'; a prim. root; to bear fruit (lit. or fig.):-
-bear, bring forth (fruit), to flourish (be, cause to be, make) fruitful, grow,
increase.
This will involve bringing creativity into the rest of the earth through
work and ideas springing forth out of lives lived in the presence of the God
of creation into a world of unrealized potential.
Multiply - 7235. rabah, raw-baw'; a prim. root; to increase (in whatever
respect):--[bring in] abundance (X -antly), a verb meaning to be many or
become many; to be abundant. It means to become numerous or great
and expresses God’s original mandate for humans to multiply on the earth.
Fill the earth (replenish) - 4390. male', maw-lay'; or mala' (Esth. 7 : 5),
maw-law'; a prim. root, to fill or to be full of, to complete, to fulfill, to finish,
to satisfy:--accomplish, confirm, + consecrate, be at an end, be expired, be
fenced, fill, fulfil, (be, become, X draw, give in, go) fully (-ly, -ly set, tale),
[over-] flow, fulness, furnish, gather (selves, together), presume, replenish,
satisfy, set, space, take a [hand-] full, + have wholly.
The term pictures the act of making that which was empty of a particular
content, no longer so – rather filling
Subdue it - 3533. kabash, kaw-bash'; a prim. root; to tread down; to
conquer, subjugate, violate:--bring into bondage, force, keep under,
subdue, bring into subjection.
It means basically to overcome or subdue someone. It is used here to
describe God’s mandate to humans to subdue the created order. It is
also used of Israel taking the promised land. It is also used of the Lord’s
subduing, removing, crushing the iniquities of His people. It is also used of
the Lord’s people overcoming their enemies with His help.
Zechariah 9: 14 Then the LORD...
Rule over - 7287. radah, raw-daw'; a prim. root; to tread down, i.e.
subjugate; spec. to have dominion, prevail against, reign, (bear, make
to) rule, (-r, over), take. It is related to the exercise of authority by the
priesthood. Theologically significant is the use of this word to identify
humanity’s God-ordained relationship to the created world around them.
What God told Adam it would be like after the fall
Genesis 3:17 -19 Then to Adam He said, "Because...
Gen 9 6-7
Luke 4:5-7 And he led Him up...
Matthew 16:18 - 19 And I tell you ...
Luke 10 Followers will tread on all the powers of darkness
Luke 10:17 - 20 The seventy-two...
Romans 8:18-23
So what exactly
is our role as the people of God since Jesus has defeated the enemy and taken the
keys back from him?
In living our lives as the people of God’s presence we are to do what God
told Adam and Eve in Gen 1:28.
We are to take the ground that is not yet overcome or subdued and bring
God’s dominion – His triumphant Kingdom.
I think at times I have been intimidated by some of the challenges I see
for the Kingdom of God on the earth. I need a bigger view of God. He
has solutions to all of the problems that we encounter in our spheres of
influence. We are to bring God and His Kingdom, His insight, His wisdom,
His ways and His blessing into every inch of our spheres of living.

If we have a testimony of God’s work in our own life, then we must believe
that He can do it in another life, and in your family,
If God can do it in your family, He can do it in your City,
If He can do it in a City, He can do it in a Nation
It is all about God getting what He wants in our world.
What He called Adam and Eve into was a partnership, an administration,
not for them to just go out and figure it out on their own and do what they
wanted.
No, what God has in mind and what is possible for Him is way beyond what
our own thinking and doing are capable of …
It starts with being the people of His presence. Getting His heart, wanting
what He wants. Moving in dependence on Him only. He can bless
whatever is done unto Him.
Rev. 12:10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation
and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the
accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been
hurled down. 11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their
testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
