God’s Original Intent: Generational Cycles of Increase

“And God made two great lights…”

Our moon has eight cycles: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent. These phrases repeat every 29.5 days.

The moon’s cycles affect weather patterns on Earth. The moon helps stabilize Earth from excessive wobbles so that the planet can experience stable seasons and climate.

Another cycle in the created order is the seed, ,time, and harvest cycle, which could last weeks, months, or years. For example, during the six-day creation, God called for a result (seed), then there was work (time), after which there was the reality (harvest). Each creation lasted one thousand years.

God rested on the Seventh Day

The Seventh Day of creation was/is a day God set aside as a day of celebration! He blessed this day and invited man to enjoy the works of his hands.

God is the architect of the system. He created the system, the divine order, the created order.

God created the system for himself.

Man refashioned creation for his purposes, being motivated by the devil. Greed is the motivational force.

Generational

God’s system is SEED TIME HARVEST! God plants a harvest, and he shares it with man.

God was so intent on sharing the harvest and teaching us about it that he encoded the Sabbath rest into the Ten Commandments, and Jesus fulfilled it during his ministry on earth by feeding the multitudes and healing all sicknesses and diseases.

LORD of the Harvest

God planted a new harvest. Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection are the beginning of a new creation.

2 Corinthians 8:9, “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.”

There is a tremendous harvest waiting to be reaped!

EPHESIANS 1:11 says we have obtained an inheritance. What is the inheritance? It is not something new. It is the bounty of the blessing of the original harvest God planned to share with man on the Seventh Day of creation.

“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” Colossians 1:12-13

The problem

We never knew what the inheritance was about. We have been blinded by Satan and the traditions of men.

When you look back at how God brought Israel out of Egpyt, he defeated their enemies both spiritual and natural. 

According to Psalm 105:37,

“He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.”

The Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath.

In Mark 2:27-28, Jesus said,

“And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.”

Jesus healed on the Sabbath. He ate shewbread which was only lawful for the priest to eat on the Sabbath day.

Jesus mastered the original purpose of the Sabbath. However, people could not connect the miracles and blessings of God’s sabbath rest.

For example, the man with the withered man was healed on the sabbath and the Pharisees were angry because Jesus did work on the sabbath.  See Luke 6:6-11

Luke 13:10-16, a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for 18 years and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift herself. Jesus healed her on the Sabbath. The ruler of the synagogue was offended. Religion will rob you of your inheritance.

It was always God’s will for man to enjoy the works of his hands.

Why people can not see

“Thus saith the LORD; Curse be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.” Jeremiah 17:5-6

The Blessing

“BLESSED is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8

What is the BLESSING? God commanded the earth to yield her increase, to multiply.

He BLESSED Adam and Eve, everything within their environment worked to benefit them. The river of life flowed from God to them and into the earth, enriching everything it touched.

God took the river of life, Jesus called it the river of living waters in John 7:37-38. He called it the gift of God, a well of living water in John 4:14

The sad thing that I see today is that people  can be healed but needlessly die. People’s needs can be met. But the system of man blinds them to the reality of God’s created order.

In Psalms 146:3, dont put your trust in man

Psalms 146:3, dont put your trust in princes or in the political system

Psalms 147:10, dont put your confidences in the legs of a horse or in the legs of a man. In other words, don’t become dependent on the system of man for your help.

“The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.” Psalms 147:11

Isaiah 55:1-3

“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye tovthe waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.”

(This is the sabbath blessing)

“Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.”

( The difference between God system and man’s system is, God’s system is the original design. It is perfect. It fully satisfies. It is free because it was initially given as a gift. It was restored as a gift, for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. The gift was restored free of charge to you but it cost Jesus his life.)

“Incline your ear and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.”

Covenant

People dont understand covenant. God is the one who started the concept of covenants, what we call contracts and binding agreements. God offers a contract, a covenant. He says, ‘if you believe on my son, Jesus Christ, I will give the gift of eternal life.’

The terms of the contract, “if you believe, I will give…’

The signs of covenant:

“And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unti them, saying, This is my body which is given FOR YOU: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, THIS CUP IS THE NEW TESTAMENT IN MY BLOOD, which is SHED FOR YOU.” Luke 22:19-20

The bread and the cup, which represent Jesus’ body and blood. 

God put these elements in your hands. Different ones in the Old Testament, the first covenant knew how to handle the sacrifice. When they got the sacrifice between sin and judgment, they came out victorious.

One way to work the sacrifice is to go before God in prayer daily saying, “Father, I thank you that by the stripes of Jesus I have been healed.”

People might be saying, ‘I wish it was that easy to be healed.’ I would say, ‘yes it is that easy to be healed.’ God already did the work. He planted the seed and we are in the harvest. I have made a deliberated decision to believe with all my heart because:

“Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.” Jeremiah 9:23-24

God tells you a few things about himself. He said, don’t boast in your wisdom, power, or wealth. He said, ‘I take delight in those who understand and know me.’

Those who have walked with God know he can not lie. They know God is good. They understand his ways of doing things. They know God is no respecter person.

The question is,

Do you understand God?

Do you know God?

Grace & peace

The God Factor

Psalms 62:10-12 (MEV)

“Do not trust in oppression, and do not become vain in robbery; if riches increase, do not set your heart on them. God has spoken once, twice I have heard this: that power belongs to God. Also to You O Lord, belongs mercy; for Your render to each one according to his works.”

When you look at the fires in California or natural calamities worldwide, you may ask why God allowed something like that to happen. Why did God allow Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, knowing the horrific results that would follow?

God gave them exclusive authority to make decisions on earth over everything that moves, swims or flies.

However, God is the ultimate authority. One command he gave Adam was not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; the penalty was death.

Reality

The moment they ate the forbidden fruit, their eyes were opened, and they knew that they were naked and they began to sew fig leaves to cover their nakedness. The consequences of their decision had not come to full harvest although they immediately recognized something happened. It took 932 years for bad decision to show up!

The reality is, people may have the power to defraud, steal, and scheme people but God is the equalizer.

Is the poor getting poorer, and the rich is getting richer? Is the pharmaceutical system killing everyone with drugs? Is the medical system all-powerful that it can deny people medical treatment based on profit?

People fail to take into consideration the God Factor

What is the God factor? As our opening text declare, ‘all power belong to God. God alone has the right to determine who gets mercy. God renders to every man according to his works!

God gives people opportunities; he always gives them a way out!

Genesis chapters 5 and 6, sums up the generations of Adam. There was great wickedness in the earth. God said,

“The LORD said, My Spirit will not always strive with man, for he is flesh, yet his days will be a hundred and twenty years.” Genesis 6:3

The God Factor in Noah’s Day: God said, “I will not keep striving with man. His days on earth shall be limited to 120 years.”

God, with one decision, reduces everybody’s life span from 900+ years to 120 years. 

God still gives people opportunities to change. Noah preached for 100 years before the floods came, and not one person changed.

The God Factor: “God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” Genesis 6:13 (KJV)

“For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.” Genesis 7:4 (KJV)

Noah found grace in the eyes of God. As the flood was increasing upon the earth, God shut them in the Ark.

Grace

We are living in a time where judgments are being released. Just as Noah found grace in the eyes of God, he has given us the gift of grace!

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they WHICH RECEIVE ABUNDANCE GRACE and the GIFT of righteousness shall REIGN in life by one, JESUS CHRIST.” Romans 5:17 (KJV)

Why people can not receive the gift

Because they refuse to believe

“He came unto his own, and his own RECEIVED HIM NOT. But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: WHICH WERE BORN, not of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor of the WILL of man BUT OF GOD.” John 1:12-13 (KJV)

Another scripture says men rejected the light because they loved darkness more than the light, John 3:19

Next Article

The following article in this series will discuss the advantages of the system that God created for us. For example, according to Luke 10:2, the Heavenly Father has planted a new harvest. He is the Lord of the harvest. The harvest is great, but only a few will reap it because of choice.

The problem is very few people have a revelation of the scope of it. They think its only about winning souls. However, it is a new creation by which we have obtained the status as children of God, born by an act of God. There is no social class in God’ system. There are no poor, busted or broken! Why

God as made us able to be partakers of the inheritance. He delivered us from the POWER OF DARKNESS.

Man’s System, as opposed to God’s created order.

God is the architect, original designer, the creator of all things. He created all things for his pleasure and out the goodness of his heart shares it with man.

Adam lost this blessedness. JESUS regains it and gives it back.

The Blessedness

On the seventh day of creation, after he finished the work of creation, he aside the seventh day as a day of celebration where he planned for his creation to enjoy the bounty of the works of his hands.

He reintroduced this concept into the ten commandment, stating the seventh day is holy and no work could be done in that day.

Israel got into much trouble because money was driving their ambition. They worked the seventh day.

“But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and nit bear a burden, eveb entering in at the gate of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.” JEREMIAH 17:27 (KJV)

He kept telling them how creation was designed. God and Israel were in a covenant. Israel was his covenant partner.

God has extended a New Testament, or what is called a New Covenant, based on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

The promise

“Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poorof this world rich in faith, and reigns of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?” James 2:5

GOD Chose

Yes. GOD CHOSE JUST AS HE DID IN GENESIS 2:3, to share the bounty of the works of his hands with man.

He  REINTRODUCED the concept of the blessed work  IN HEBREWS 4:6; there must be some that will enter into this blessed rest.

The scriptures declare labor to enter into this blessed rest. In other words, perfect the system in your life. Seek it, ask for it, believe it, act on it.

There is a scripture that says that when God bought Israel out of Egypt, not one feeble person was among them.

Go back to the beginning

Its about cycles

Its about his works not your works

“For my people have committed TWO EVILS; they have forsaken me the FOUNTAIN of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, that can hold no water.” Jeremiah 2:13

Cursed is the person who put their trust in man, Jeremiah 17:5

Put not your trust princes, nor the son of man, in whom there is no help (salvation) (Psalms 146:3)

Many people are putting their faith in a political system, whether it be the stock market, government agencies, the medical industry, the job market, a senator, governor, banker, or lawyer.

Think System

“He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs if a man. The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.” Psalms 147:10-11 (KJV)

“Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and HEIRS of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him.” JAMES 2:5 (KJV)

Think of the kingdom as the system of God. All that he owns! It include the gold, silver, angels, healing, deliverance, blessing, anointing- everything! And he has chosen to give it to those who love him just like he did in Genesis 2:1-3.

Seed time Harvest

God planted two trees in the beginning in Genesis 2. In Revelation 22, we see both trees. The Lamb of God which represents Adam’s original sacrifice, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and tree of life which is in full harvest mode.

It’s cyclical

Its generational. It functions in cycles. God started the process in beginning when he finished the cteated order. He set aside the seventh day of creation as a blessed rest. He invited Adam and his generations into that blessed day, to enjoy the works of his hands.

Satan stole the blessings. God restored the blessings.

He left us a guild to the blessing in scripture.

God set a testimony

“Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the genetation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: THAT THE GENERATION TO COME might know them, even the children which should be born; WHO SHOULD BE BORN; WHO SHOULD ARISE AND DECLARE THEM TO THEIR CHILDREN: that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commands.” Psalms 78:1-7 (KJV)

How did God set a testimony? He provided for three million people in the barren desert. He fed them with manna, gave them water out of a rock, gave them gold and silver, gave them an inheritance, and defeated their enemies. God provided as he did in the beginning. His methods are the same. He created the system, the created order.

Adam’s generations are summed up in Genesis 5, judged in Genesis 6, and destroyed in Genesis 7.

Why did Jesus call the generation of his day faithless and perverted? 

“Lord, have mercy onmy son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. Then Jesus answered and said, O FAITHLESS AND PERVERSE GENERATION, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hithet to me.” Matthew 17:15-17

Faithless means no faith. But perverse, means “distort, misinterpret, corrupt, to turn away.”

Jesus expected more from them. Why? God set a testimony in them when he delivered their fathers out of Egypt. God demonstrated his power through mighty miracles. But when they were faced with challenges, they wanted to go back to Egypt. They saw themselves as grasshopper and their enemies as gaints.

The generation that came out of Eygpt was called a wicked and stubborn generation. God swore in his wrath that they would not go into his blessed rest.

The battle of today is over resources!

The battle that we fight every day is over resources. Who has the most money! If we can’t get it, we steal it.

God doesnt see things the way we see them. His wsy are higher than our ways and hiy thoughts than oir thoughts.

The Laodiceans Church of Revelation 3, described themselves as rich, increased with good and need of nothing. But Jesus described as lukewarm. He said,

“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, abd miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.”

The real issue as far as God is concern is not how money you have but how rich is your faith in him. This is the same issue the foolish rich man dealt with when God called him to give an account of himself. JESUS said, so is he as the rich man who is not rich in God.

Jesus counseled Laodiceans to buy gold tried in the fire from him so that they might be rich. The currency of heaven is faith in God. God’s plan is not poverty. It is the blessed rest that tells us to labor to enter in.
