The Creation Story // Live Bible Study // Pt.3

It is so good to be back on another Thursday night here in our new platform Digging into God's word with this awesome new series, creation, the creation series.

I want you to come on in, I want you to chime in and tell us how this series is blessing your life.

I mean, last week we really got had our minds blown, some of us.

We're talking about things that we're actually in as a church, as the church world, we're not really talking about enough, not really talking about it was other than children, sunday school and stuff, little Bible.

But I'm so glad as mature adults, bible-believing adults, we can go into these scriptures and these stories and actually Pull, still pull out great revelation and true and understanding.

I want to just add to that Are you in a place now you should be, or we want you to invite you to be in a place where, like he said, when we learn these things as kids, yes as when I was in a, when I was a child, I thought life's a child, right, you know.

But when I became mature, I wanted to go back.

So we invite you to go back with us go back and go back and let's read these scriptures as mature adults with adult mind yes, with adult experiences and.

Really dive into it, and that's what we want to do with the scripture.

Don't just run by him.

We heard him, we was kids, yes, and we thought we got it.

But it's always good to get more revelation.

It is, it is and as time.

This is the great, the thing I love about God's word.

As the time goes by and and the generations and the years, it's always good to go back and recap again.

Because things, time reveals some of these mysteries.

Time reveals Amen.

We would, we.

This is so good, we're digging in.

Just to be a recap, we was talking about we had got kind of through the first Four days.

We're three days of creation, that's right.

So many powerful truths come out About what a day is in doing creation.

What is a day?

Somebody who was here last week, go ahead and put in, let them know.

The newcomers know what's a day.

What does God mean when he said a day?

I'm gonna let y'all take care of it.

We talked about what evening, in morning, how our God's days were differently defined than ours.

Well, even in the morning we noticed some.

Somebody helped him out of the car man.

It's always night, it's always day, that's right.

So that's, that was a good revelation.

The other one was about the firmament and Bishop was dealing with that.

You was just telling me explain it, how we need to understand Amen when you see firmament, it's different levels, amen.

We put up a map or a picture last week and it describes that there of waters above the earth and there's heaven and firmament the waters above, and then there's their earth in the atmosphere, and then there's dry land, what she called in the 10th verse, land earth, and then there's firmament below the water in the ocean.

So it's not just one place, right, one place.

We don't want to just say one place, because I think we just pull it from the sea.

Yeah and that's it, but it's more than that, okay and we understand, to the scriptures.

Let us know that water is a biblical concept.

It don't mean it's all the same.

The waters below are different from the waters above and the waters but it's all waters.

We talked about that last week, so go back in.

So today we're diving into verse 14 and it's getting so good.

I mean we're going into 14 and we're finally getting Some things that we are familiar with.

That's right.

So I'm gonna read verse 14.

It reads and God said let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven we know that's the sky to divide the day from the night, and Let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years.

Wow, so we're in the.

We're in the 14th verse.

We're in the 14th verse and we just now got a son and a moon and some stars.

And this is where we can point out a fallacy in Our science community today.

They say without the sun, none of this could be possible.

Without the sun, we couldn't have our earth and we couldn't have none of this stuff, because the sun is what keeps everything in balance.

Well, I Disagree.

We found out the sun didn't even get made until the fourth day.

In the fourth day in the fourth day.

Yes, so yes.

All of this, these things Existed before the existence of the sun, moon and stars as good.

And he said in the 14th verse he said the firmament of the heavens.

Yes.

Amen.

So that tells you what we were saying.

That is a Firmament above the earth.

Yes, okay, all this was in the atmosphere.

Yes, yes, so this is good.

I like to just point out let's we want to look at these words.

They say let it be for Days, divide the day from the night and let them be for signs that were signs.

This word is with.

We have a lot of people today in this, especially in this modern world, looking at signs.

They in a true astrology that's right, they into try to study in the connections and with the stars and the movement and the cycling of the movement of the heavens, how it relates to Earth, and many people are into that and studying and they actually live by it and let it guide their life.

That's right, that's what we're understanding scripture is that although they were created the stars and the moon and all of this stuff Created for signs your Bible tells us to not live by those signs.

That's right, and we were.

We have what we know is a sign.

Really don't tell us with the go where to go, it just identifies where we're going.

In other words, if you're following the stars, you really that's like.

You, that's like, especially if you let them guide you.

That's, that's confusion, because we don't let signs that I don't have a mind.

In other words, if I go out to the top of the street and I see signs, the signs do not have a mind to give me information to how to live.

They're just there to show me.

If I take a right, I'm on this street.

If I go, this is I'm on that street, or go there.

It's just a sign.

So when we begin to create personalities behind these signs, that's the problem.

Now we're putting a brain on the sign.

We can't do that.

How in the world can somebody tell me something Don't know me?

How are they going to tell me they don't know me?

A sign is just a sign.

A sign tells me what to do.

They don't tell me hey, slow up, turn on.

It's just what it is.

It's a sign, so then we cannot.

These signs were put, amen, to map out something, but it won't.

It's to guide us.

It won't take place of the mind of God.

It won't take to be God in our life.

To tell us what to do and what not to do and when to do it.

No, that's just a sign.

That's a sign.

And for seasons and for seasons, and that's very important.

We know what we got the four seasons and for days and for years.

This is, this is.

I love this because this days is obviously different from the day when we say the first day and the second day.

That's a day, an immeasurable time period of time.

But these signs were there.

These sun, moon and stars are there to us to measure a day, Days like we have days of the week.

That's right, Amen.

So we, we got, we finally got our calendar Got our calendar Now, we know, we know.

Verse 15, and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth.

And it was so, that's right.

God made two great lights, the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night.

He made the stars also, and God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth and to rule over the day and over the night and to divide the light from the darkness.

And God saw it, saw that it was good.

I want to pause right there and I want to say this.

I want to ask a question.

We want to get y'all involved.

We started out this series with Genesis, verse one, two and three, introducing who God is.

God introduced himself in verse two, one, two and three.

My question is you, can you still see God in every one of these days?

Can you see God the way we describe them in Genesis one, two and three?

Can you see the father?

Can you see the son?

Can you see the spirit?

Can you see the word of God and the spirit of God moving and operating in these three days, in these days as we go through them?

How many can see that?

I'll tell you what look?

Look when you look in your scripture, look at 16,.

He read 16, 17 and 18.

God put it under your name.

What do you see, god?

What do you see the Holy Ghost and what do you see Jesus?

What do you see these in those 16, 17 and 18?

In those scripture is defined like you said, when you go back to Genesis, one, two and three, 16, 17.

Go back 14, 14.

All the way.

Yeah, 14.

Yes, 15.

Yeah, 16, 17.

Really, through the whole, each day.

Yeah, what do you see?

What do you see Each day.

If you could come in under there, coming under there, what do you see?

God.

What do you see?

What do you see?

Can you identify these three parts of God that he introduced in verse one, two and three?

Can you continue to see that?

I think it's important because when we can continue to see that, we can also see it throughout the rest of the scripture.

Come on and see.

That's important because you're going to see further down.

I'm not going to get ahead of myself.

He never excluded.

It was all of them together.

It was still together through the whole creation.

It's only when we divide, it's only when we leave out, but if you really notice, it's all of them still working together.

Come on now.

All right, have you answered?

Because we're getting ready to tell the answer.

I'm going to tell you where I see.

All right.

So verse 13.

And God said we already know every time.

God said that's the word of God, that's the logos, that's him speaking.

That's right.

So we know that John, one to one, told us that in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God.

We understand that the word is Jesus.

That's it Speaking, the voice of God speaking.

So when we see that, we see we identify Jesus, the Son of God, the voice of God, the logos, and then it goes through and talking about and like in 16 and God made and God, 17 and God said and 18 and God ruled over.

We starting to see, anytime we see God actually doing something, we get that's the creation, yeah, that's the Holy Spirit, yeah, with the one that's moving and making things happen Moving into space.

We know that's the power of God.

That's it.

The Holy Ghost is working through everything God said.

The Holy Ghost is making it happen, it moves for us, it moves through us.

Yeah, yeah, so it is Amen, yes, making it move, the Holy.

Ghost is what gets the job done.

And then I love this part because at the end of every day, at the end of every day, it allowing people to pass one and God looked and saw it and it said it was good.

And God saw that it was good.

I believe the God that saw it and said it's good, that's the father, that's the one here.

It was his vision, is his plan, is his creation, and when Jesus say it and the Holy Spirit make it happen, the father say that that's good.

That's good.

It's like architect.

It's like architect, they, they draw up the plans, they draw up the plan and it's the builders that go out and build it.

It's everything.

And then they come back and look at the paper, okay, and look at the building right, and say, yes, that's good, so it's a good job right, good job, Good job.

All right.

That's good.

So if you answer right.

That's where you see them.

They still moving.

See a moving moving in the midst of God In and all these parts that make up God working together to create the world as we know it, to create the earth.

That's it.

So we stopped at verse.

We're on 19.

We're on 19, and the evening and the morning were the fourth day we on the fourth day and God said let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creatures that have life and file, that may fly above the earth in the open Firmament of heaven.

The biggest thing we don't want to miss when we read this, it says and God said let the waters bring forth so what?

What brought forth the sea creatures?

And and the Fowler that flying the air would brought forth these things?

The waters, the waters.

This is, this is we got a pause.

We got a pause.

That's a lot, yeah.

For some of us if it went, for those of us hadn't read this stuff since we were little kids.

And they say God, oh, the fourth day he created the head, the fish and all of this stuff.

But we got to do it.

Maturity now.

We got to do it in maturity.

God spoke to the water, the waters and the waters brought forth.

That's so good.

So this is my question is you, is evolution completely wrong, or do they have part of this thing right?

Oh, you got to explain that.

Yeah, cuz, when we look at evolution.

It says that Life starts in the water.

It, life, started in the water, it was water and then, out of the water, these things like one single cell, organisms like tadpoles and little things started becoming the creatures that we see, started becoming the fish and and all of the things that we see in the ocean.

I believe that Evolution tapped into this at somewhere, but again, that goes back to that.

They have signs, have the knowledge of.

I can, I can understand what I see.

Right.

Who did it?

Yes, that's where they go.

They can't lose.

They lose right there.

Who did it?

Who called?

Who said it?

Mm-hmm, it happened.

God said yes, let there be, let the waters.

Yeah, god said it and it happened.

They understand that it happened right, but they just don't recognize or acknowledge right how?

and who said it?

Intent is there is intelligence and power.

That's working creation, yeah this stuff is not just happening signs, just look at what happened.

But they don't tell you the intelligence and the power.

Hey man, I'm a ain't nobody agree with that?

Cuz I tell you, when you really think about it, yes, they have a lot of things right.

Right, they are describing certain things because of science, but then they don't acknowledge God.

They don't know that's God of Hallelujah and that's important Amen.

Amen.

So we see, on the fourth day, the creatures of the, of the ocean and the fowls of the air in the heaven, and God created great whales and every living creature that move, with which the waters.

Here it says it again the waters brought forth abundantly After their kind and every wing found after his kind, and God saw that it was good.

That's it, that's so that's one and take notes on that.

The water, these things, the water birth them.

That's it.

And God blessed them saying be fruitful and multiply and feel the waters in the seas and let Foul multiply in the earth.

23 and the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Amen, amen.

So we can see right there.

I want to talk about one thing, about it keeps talking about the fowl Coming, also being birthed by the water.

But remember, we read last week that even the air is made of water.

That's right.

We read at the atmosphere, just like we see the clouds.

We can see the clouds because it's forms together, but all of the air is also made of water.

So even when birds are flying, they actually somewhat swimming In another form that you just.

You just blow somebody's mind and you like what is he talking about?

No, we haven't lost it.

No, we're all good.

I want you to take a deep breath for about a pause because sometime you say, oh wow, that's a little, but if you said it said that the fowls of the air came from the water yes you would think the birds come from there, right?

No, it's a came from the water, but then we think it's just a sea.

Yeah, water is just this ocean, but we said it's firmament.

It's water yeah so all things are created to God in the place it was created.

So you can't just put it in our mind and say well birds you know that chicken come from eggs and it was on the God created.

He was an architect, he knew what he was doing.

It's so much intelligence and intent behind creation and how it works.

And so I look at evolution and when we watch those videos of evolution and how things evolve, it sounds, it looks so weird, and how they evolve in single sales involving two different things and become a lame creature, become a bird Amen, it seems, but really it's a lot of truth to that, because what we're seeing is also, again, we're still on God's timing.

We don't know how long this took for it to happen.

That's right.

Even morning was the fifth day, so we don't know how long that was but he is setting things in motion.

He is setting it in motion.

He is setting it in motion.

So here we are in the fourth day, 20th yeah 25th.

No, we're the 15th.

15th In the 15th, 24th, and God said let the earth all right, the earth bring forth living creature after his kind, cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth after his kind.

And it was so.

What brought forth the cattle?

There was a question for you.

Come on now, put it in there.

What brought forth the cattle?

What brought forth the cattle?

The?

earth.

The earth gave birth to.

So we'll answer the question.

Come see, now we've heard this term before.

We've heard the earth called what Mother earth.

I got to pause, come on.

We heard it yeah, y'all heard it called Mother.

Earth.

We heard it called Mother Earth.

So Mother Earth gave birth.

Yes, and we're reading it in the scripture.

And who would have thought that we would find some of these concepts in scripture?

See, some of these.

Sometimes we think these people are just crazy because the Mother Earth concept really comes in when we talked about these indigenous, like Indians and American Indians, the indigenous people, native Americans and stuff.

They love to talk about the Mother Earth Mother Earth and not only them.

But that's an example Mother Earth.

They come up with this.

That's how it makes sense, mother Earth.

But we're looking scripture that God basically impregnated the earth with a word.

He said bring forth.

Bring forth, and let the earth bring forth, living creatures after its kind.

Come on now, uh-huh, cattle and creeping things and the beasts of the earth from after its kind and it was so.

Wow, oh, my God.

Wow.

Somebody said, wow, wow, we're reading the scripture through new lenses and real lives and we want to make sure we're apart.

Somebody might say, well, you know what, this is not important.

But I tell you what's important now this generation.

Why?

Yes, oh God, say that they want to know why.

Yeah.

Why do we believe what we believe?

Yes, why we read this Bible, why this old Bible?

Why do we believe?

You can give them reference now.

You can say you know what I've studied.

This is in the Word of God.

Let's take time and go through it and realize that cattle came from the earth, Creeping things came.

They came from the earth, god spoke it in the earth, uh-huh, and, like he said, impregnated earth and it brought forth, and it brought forth.

Come on now, this is important and 2024, we don't want to just read the word, we want to read it Like El Chayne said all the time.

We want to read the word, we want to make sure we understand what is happening.

How do we explain this?

And the Bible clearly said it Amen, it brought forth.

It brought forth.

I look at it because for a long time somebody can probably admit I used to tell my kids, when they go to school and they say we there, we in science and we study in evolution, I said, oh, don't believe that devil mess.

That mess, all lies.

Throw all that mess out.

I said you study it and try to get an A, but don't believe nothing they saying is all lies.

And then when I got back in the gym and I said, oh well, hold on Some of that.

What they saying is true.

Yeah, yeah, but make sure research it Know it, yeah, and remind who said it, yes, who did it.

Right, they tell you it's here, but they didn't say who brought it to pass.

And that's God.

Is that right?

That's God, it's it 25.

25.

Are you enjoying yourself?

This is good.

This is so good.

Amen.

God made the beasts of the earth after his kind and the cattle after their kind and everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and God saw that it was good.

I want to pause there, and this is a reminder of just like he talked about the plants, how the seed was in the plant to reproduce at his own kind.

That's it.

That's it.

The same thing applies to nature and the creatures we have in us, the seed to reproduce after our own kind.

That means a bird came bringing forth a cow, no, a fish came bringing forth an alligator.

So we got to bring out our own kind, the seed comes from yes, it.

And that's it.

I want to bring this and we also in February and this is Black History Month, and we have known about Black History and et cetera, and not only that.

I don't want to get off to such, but I want to pose this in us there has been an attack on the seed.

The enemy has fought the seed.

That's where the, he said, the seed of man will bruise, the.

There was head, the seed of man.

Come on somebody, this is that.

That's why it's an attack on the seed.

Who holds the seed?

Man?

Man holds the seed and if he can destroy the seed, it cannot produce again.

Yes, if you destroy the seed, no reproduction.

No, oh my God.

No, you kill it.

There is no reproduction.

Right, if the seed is destroyed.

Right, if I take an apple and I eat the apple and I take the seed and I crush it or throw it away, it will not produce of itself because I destroyed the seed.

But we got to make sure we preserve that seed.

Now watch, you see, we gonna see.

And I love because Bishop touched us so we could give it all day, because the whole Bible is talking about the same law and principles in the whole thing and even when we talk about Jesus and following the lineage from Adam and Noah and all that to the Anthony.

But this also is important that it's always been an attack on the seed, always, even today.

We can see that in all types of ways, cause look at today how so many vegetables and fruits, just look at our fruits and stuff how they are now seedless man did that.

That's not natural.

There's no such thing as a natural seedless water minute, a natural seedless grape man and God in there and somehow cause Erase the seed.

Erase the seed If they doing that in fruit when you think they want to do it.

Oh, my God Come on somebody.

Think about it.

I tell you, if we go there, we'll be there all night long.

If we go there, we're going to be there all day and we'll be discussing because it is important.

The Bible said everywhere in the scripture.

In that text it said and they produce after his kind, after his kind, after his kind.

Always do the scripture after his kind, even to the vegetation, even to the creeping thing, even to everything after it's kind.

That means God had to place that seed in them, is that right?

And then, after they place the seed in it, produced.

Come on now.

So let me, I'm going to ask you a question.

So that means what, if they take out the seed?

What are they trying to produce?

Hold up, just stop right there.

I don't even know.

I don't even know.

Maybe y'all have the answer.

Y'all ain't.

Nobody got the answer.

What's going on?

Why are they taking out?

the seed, when they take that, when it seedless, what we going, what we going, but another kind.

Okay, go ahead.

Let's read Go ahead, we're getting in trouble, so come on.

It's time to move on.

We're going to produce another kind if you take out the seed, all right.

Oh my God, all right, now we're getting into good part, because 26, I tell you, in 27, we going to try our best to get that, we're going to try to get that.

and then we go close, all right, and God said let us make man in our image and after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the file of the air, over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

We got to stay right there and just deal with this, because this is so.

I got a question.

Were all of them still there?

Were all of them still there?

How do you know all of them was there?

Did God create man?

Was all of them there?

There we go.

One word.

What did he say?

Amen, y'all got it.

You got it.

If you got it, put it in there.

Put it in the comments.

How do you know all of them were still there?

The spirit, the Jesus, the Father.

All of them was there Because God said let us Watch this Now.

This might somebody going to mess up your thinking a little bit, because sometimes this stuff mess your head up.

God is in us.

That's hard.

Somebody that struck something struck a nerve in it.

How is that possible?

How is that?

He said?

I didn't say.

God with a single G-O-D no S on it Said let us, God is in us.

My God, god, god, make man.

Oh, we got some more words in there.

He said make man in our Now.

God is in us, god is in our Us, in our, yes, our image.

And then I got to put this out here because some people they battle with this.

So I've heard theology that said well, when God said let us, maybe he was talking about him and the angels, but if we're going to stick to context, he had never mentioned no angels.

No, no way.

Nothing he's talking about is he himself creating.

That's right.

He had never mentioned no other beings involved in creation.

Well, and that couldn't make.

We got to use common sense in that as well.

How are we going to use he's going to create something to help him create?

How is he going to use something to help him create?

He didn't need no help.

See, that's the problem with man.

Man still want to say God created us, but we're going to help God create something else.

Right, god don't need us to help him create.

He is the creator and the scripture says.

Come on now.

As the scripture says, God made everything in him.

Without him, anything made.

There was made.

There was made.

He's the only one making.

That's John.

That's John.

Hold on, you go ahead and pass.

So that means everything else, even as human beings, we call ourselves inventing stuff and creating something.

We're not doing that and we just recreating Everything that was made is already made.

Come on, we just taking some things that are made and turning it into something else, making an example of it.

Yes, all right, I'm going to get that scripture.

Let's see, this is John 1, saint John 1.

In the beginning was the word.

The word was with God, with God, with God, let me With God, and the word was God.

The same was in the beginning with God.

Hold on, hold on Bishop.

Now, this is a clue.

I talked to somebody and said how did you understand?

Because somebody told me that this is a word puzzle.

But this is how we can solve the puzzle.

The Bible always capitalized anything that's referring to naming God, anything that's a name of God.

You notice in your Bible, word is a capital letter, it's capital Capitalized.

That means he not talking about in the beginning was a word, a regular word, like a speaking language.

He's talking about Jesus.

This is one of the names of Jesus, the word the word.

Come on now, read it for yourself.

Third verse all things were made by him and without him.

Was not that anything made, that was made, that was made.

So God is in us, wow.

Somebody say wow, we didn't say it, that's why we said it.

That's in your Bible, that's in your Bible.

That ain't ours, but it's in yours as well.

He said we're going to make him an after what Our image.

But this is the thing.

He's in us, but he's not multiple.

He says God One, one God, not God's One God, one God, but that one God is in us.

We're going to let y'all wrap y'all's head around that theology.

It's good, it's good, all right, all right.

26.

26.

Oh, did we catch everything out of this and said, ok, watch this after our own image and our likeness?

So that means nothing God had made prior to that, nothing the earth brought forth had a seed that could produce man, nothing that we don't have a kind.

So here we go with evolution, again saying the monkey, we evolved from the eight.

But they try to find the missing link.

They ain't going to find it because we don't have a kind.

Our kind is God.

Come on, we was made after God, the seed was in God that produced us.

Well see, that's why that's what they tried to give us, because they had to know it was a seed.

Yeah, so they trying to say the closest thing.

I got Talk about it.

Bishop, that's the closest thing they can find to try to figure out who we are is a monkey is a monkey.

So then the monkeys was evolved into man but they can't figure out how it's missing, but I see it's the image of God.

Wow, come on now they cannot find that.

They found all the animals and can trace them back.

They get to man and they're like something wrong here, Something's missing, Something wrong.

Well, let's take the closest thing.

Yeah, it does.
