00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.080
Hello everyone! Welcome to Reading with Him with Janice Moore. I'm glad you're

2
00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:11.880
here with me and we are going to keep moving here. This will be the next part

3
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:19.480
of Genesis chapter 1 verse 28. Last time we looked at the word bless and today we

4
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:25.920
are going to move further and I'm gonna be referring to the voice which

5
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:31.160
has a translation of this verse that is really accurate. It's very correct.

6
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:39.200
Where the other translations say, God blessed them and said, the voice says, God

7
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:45.800
blessed them and he gave them directives. So that is accurate because actually

8
00:00:45.800 --> 00:00:50.600
this means that he gave them a charge which is what took place at this point.

9
00:00:51.160 --> 00:00:56.040
But we need to remember here this before we go forward. It's very interesting

10
00:00:56.040 --> 00:01:03.040
because God blessed them first. If you remember, that word means he pronounced

11
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:09.600
over them, he made them, he prophetically released and called forth out of them

12
00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:14.920
from the future into the present, called forth in the Spirit and in the natural

13
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:20.580
that they would be successful, that Adam would be successful and that Eve would

14
00:01:20.580 --> 00:01:27.120
be successful and that mankind at this point would be successful and that they

15
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:33.080
would be happy. So he was releasing this over them. So he did that and it says he

16
00:01:33.080 --> 00:01:39.420
blessed them and then he gave them this directives. So it was very important that

17
00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:45.060
first they were created in his image with everything that God had, less being

18
00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:50.420
God himself. They were created, they were the creator of the creator, made

19
00:01:50.420 --> 00:01:56.860
in his image, made like God but not God. And then God released this blessing over

20
00:01:56.860 --> 00:02:01.420
them and then it was after that that he gave them the charge. So they had

21
00:02:01.420 --> 00:02:07.140
everything, not only had, but they were everything they needed to fulfill this

22
00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:10.740
charge or these directives. So today we're going to start in on those

23
00:02:10.740 --> 00:02:15.300
directives or those charges and first we're going to look what this word means

24
00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:24.860
because it's important. Adam was not meant to have a lackadaisical, easy

25
00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:31.620
sit on a palm tree, leaning up against the trunk and

26
00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:39.860
sticking his feet in the stream and having something good to drink and

27
00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:47.500
cuddling with animals. That's not what he was called to do. It was enormous and he

28
00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:55.700
was given a tremendous amount of power in the aspect of authority. So we need to

29
00:02:55.700 --> 00:03:00.020
begin looking at that because the same thing has been given to us. It never

30
00:03:00.020 --> 00:03:08.540
was meant to end. It was meant to walk out and to grow and expand and then

31
00:03:08.580 --> 00:03:11.780
Jesus had to give all that back to us and he gave it back to us in the Great

32
00:03:11.780 --> 00:03:18.740
Commission. So anyway, let's look at this word directive. It means having the power

33
00:03:18.740 --> 00:03:31.980
to rule. It is not passive. It is not sitting back and hoping everything falls

34
00:03:32.020 --> 00:03:41.060
into place and hoping somebody else does something about a situation. It is not

35
00:03:41.060 --> 00:03:48.580
putting a head in the sand and trying to forget what's going on. It is ruling

36
00:03:48.580 --> 00:03:55.100
is a place of authority. It is a place of decision-making. It is a place of impact.

37
00:03:55.260 --> 00:04:03.900
It is a place of influence. A charge, which is also a meaning of directive,

38
00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:10.780
means to impose a task or a duty. So God tests him with this. He said, I've made

39
00:04:10.780 --> 00:04:16.620
you like this. I have now given you everything and made you in every way

40
00:04:16.620 --> 00:04:23.460
needed to be successful. I speak success and I speak happiness over you. Go do

41
00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:29.140
this. Put your boots on. It's marching orders. It's time. It means to entrust to,

42
00:04:29.140 --> 00:04:40.580
to give oversight and to be commissioned. He was entrusted with the Garden of Eden.

43
00:04:40.580 --> 00:04:45.780
And it wasn't just like, wow, I'm just gonna live with these animals and I'm

44
00:04:45.820 --> 00:04:53.420
going to be so bored. It was going to be his territory that was supposed to

45
00:04:53.420 --> 00:04:57.620
expand, that he was supposed to rule and govern.

46
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.120
means, it constitutes, now if you think about charge and you take it out of a task oriented

47
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:12.960
thing, you remember there is another definition for charge and at first when I saw this I'm like

48
00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:17.920
oh that doesn't work here and then I just kind of fell under by the Holy Spirit and said you know

49
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:23.360
actually it kind of does and so then I just was praying to the Spirit I'm like okay you got to

50
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:31.680
show me because I'm thinking numbers, I'm thinking credit card, I'm thinking purchasing,

51
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:40.400
I'm thinking all that and that other definition for charge is something that constitutes a debt

52
00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:47.760
because of a transaction. I think I'm gonna sneeze, I don't want to and so I was like okay

53
00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:57.840
can you just correlate, can you just make the bridge for me here and I began to remember then

54
00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:08.240
I'd realized wow this was a covenant relationship Adam had with God. Now I know it wasn't a blood

55
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:14.880
covenant relationship because there was not yet sin but it was a covenant relationship. You think

56
00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:21.920
of Father, Son, Holy Spirit and He made them like Elohim. He made them in their image. Father,

57
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:26.000
Son, and Holy Spirit were in a covenant, are in a covenant relationship with one another.

58
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:32.240
They each had given each other 100 percent. They are totally dedicated to each other,

59
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:40.240
totally standing behind each other and the same thing, the same relationship Adam was brought into

60
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:53.760
with them 100 percent. God gave him everything and Adam was expected in this covenant relationship

61
00:06:53.760 --> 00:07:00.640
to give everything, surrender everything back to God. Yes he was walking in a position of authority,

62
00:07:00.640 --> 00:07:09.360
yes he was called to rule and reign, yes he was called to oversee and just to

63
00:07:10.640 --> 00:07:19.760
walk in fellowship with God but it was a 100 percent I worship you and I obey you

64
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:28.000
because I love you and you have all. So God gave him everything

65
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:37.680
and in this charge to do all of this and in this blessing there was a covenant relationship

66
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:45.840
involved with this to where Adam did have a debt. His debt was love, his debt was worship,

67
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:52.400
his debt was saying yes to what God had said to him every single day

68
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.040
and even when he would see that tree in the middle of the garden

69
00:08:00.320 --> 00:08:06.080
saying yeah that that's God's that's that's not mine. I am not the creator.

70
00:08:07.280 --> 00:08:11.200
I am the created and that's not mine and I will honor God.

71
00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:20.560
So there was a debt so-called with the charge in that context.

72
00:08:21.760 --> 00:08:27.440
So we're going to move on to what these charges were. We have a few minutes so we can go to the

73
00:08:27.440 --> 00:08:35.360
first one. So if you look at verse 28 the first one in that list of charges was to be fruitful.

74
00:08:35.520 --> 00:08:43.360
Was to be fruitful. So we all know you know this one's pretty easy because fruitful all itself.

75
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:50.400
You know we're talking seeds. We are talking things that grow. We are talking reproduce.

76
00:08:50.400 --> 00:08:56.320
So an apple tree reproduces apples. Adam and Eve were to reproduce and have children.

77
00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:03.680
All of the garden everything in the garden was meant to reproduce. The animals everything was

78
00:09:03.680 --> 00:09:08.720
meant to reproduce including Adam and Eve and they had oversight over this.

79
00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:15.680
That's pretty self-explanatory but for me maybe you guys have not done this but I did it.

80
00:09:16.400 --> 00:09:21.600
And the next word means multiply. So you think oh well we're going to have more than one child.

81
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:25.120
We're going to have you know it's going to multiply. It's going to be bigger but

82
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.200
there's more to it than that and when you start going back into the Hebrew yes it means all those

83
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:36.720
things that fruitful mean but it also means takes on a whole nother meaning which is this

84
00:09:37.280 --> 00:09:45.120
multiplication actually means to excel. It means to go above and beyond. It means to enlarge

85
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:52.400
and it means to heap. So that's much more than just reproduction. So think about the scriptures

86
00:09:52.400 --> 00:09:59.440
that say to expand your tent pegs. You are enlarging. You're taking what you have. You're

87
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.600
having

88
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.040
success, you are excelling at that, you are doing with excellence, and then you're pushing

89
00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:12.480
out those tent pegs and you are bringing in, taking in more territory, more area around

90
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:18.720
you, whether it's friends, whether it's your workplace, whether it is a school environment,

91
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:27.200
whether it is a work environment, whether it is areas of authority you've been giving

92
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:32.880
and you allow those to be expanded as you walk in excellence of where you're at, meant

93
00:10:32.880 --> 00:10:38.800
to be multiplying, but it also means to heap.

94
00:10:38.800 --> 00:10:42.960
So a heap is, well think of a teaspoon.

95
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:51.080
So I use cacao every morning in my smoothie and I don't just put a tablespoon in, I come

96
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:56.760
out with a heaping tablespoon and it's over and above.

97
00:10:56.760 --> 00:11:05.720
So we are meant, we are called, we are charged, another word for charged is command to heap.

98
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:10.520
So everything we should do should be heaping, it should be over and above.

99
00:11:10.520 --> 00:11:14.920
That is your portion, that is what God has spoken over you, that is what he said to go

100
00:11:14.920 --> 00:11:24.720
and do, and he has released over you and spoken success in that area, and we are at 1122.

101
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:32.640
So I am going to stop with this today, I would like you to, just for an activation

102
00:11:32.640 --> 00:11:37.760
between today and the next time we have a session, just ask Holy Spirit, just say, okay,

103
00:11:37.760 --> 00:11:39.640
what does this mean to me?

104
00:11:39.640 --> 00:11:41.040
How do I walk this out?

105
00:11:41.040 --> 00:11:49.680
Take out your word and just begin to meditate on it, sit with him and say, okay, what areas

106
00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:52.160
are you calling me to be more fruitful?

107
00:11:52.160 --> 00:11:53.920
What areas do you want to expand?

108
00:11:53.920 --> 00:11:56.320
What areas do you want me to reproduce?

109
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.080
Can I reproduce?

110
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.280
How would I be reproducing right now?

111
00:12:01.280 --> 00:12:03.400
What adjustments do you want to make in my life?

112
00:12:03.400 --> 00:12:10.920
Because when you're reproducing, you're going to reproduce what you are.

113
00:12:10.920 --> 00:12:20.040
So if you have bitterness in your heart, if you have unforgiveness, if you have anger,

114
00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:28.600
if you have other issues going on, whatever they may be, that's what you're going to reproduce.

115
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:32.440
If you're walking in the fruit of the Spirit, if you're walking in peace, if you're walking

116
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:42.200
in joy, if you're walking in the Word and are able to apply the Word to your life, then

117
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:47.840
that is what you're going to be able to reproduce as you're around other people.

118
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:51.280
Because we are called to disciple, disciple all nations.

119
00:12:51.280 --> 00:12:54.200
That starts with your family and then moves out of your family.

120
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.840
It goes to the next level out and that ripple effect just takes place.

121
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:06.880
So the first thing to say with Holy Spirit in this activation is, am I fruitful?

122
00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:08.480
How does this impact me?

123
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:10.000
What's going on with me?

124
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:15.080
What kind of fruit am I producing and where would you like to make adjustments?

125
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:20.680
I mean, this isn't an everyday thing.

126
00:13:20.680 --> 00:13:25.040
I kind of have a, yeah, I kind of talk to God in the morning.

127
00:13:25.040 --> 00:13:33.760
I talk to Him at night and I want Him to hold me accountable and He does.

128
00:13:33.760 --> 00:13:35.240
He does.

129
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:44.360
He had admonished me with some things last night and I was like, okay, I missed it.

130
00:13:45.280 --> 00:13:52.080
You've instructed me on this and I had to make an adjustment and I had to repent and

131
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:55.920
then you asked for forgiveness and it's all good as long as you walk out that adjustment

132
00:13:55.920 --> 00:13:58.480
and as long as you do what He's told you to do.

133
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:02.680
So ask Him, say, what kind of fruit am I producing?

134
00:14:02.680 --> 00:14:05.000
Where do you want to make adjustments?

135
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:10.440
And He is most gracious and loving when He does it because the Holy Spirit convicts,

136
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:12.480
He doesn't condemn.

137
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:17.360
And then ask Him, okay, multiplication, where should I be heaping?

138
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:18.400
Where do you want to grow this?

139
00:14:18.400 --> 00:14:21.320
Do you want me to expand my tent pegs anywhere?

140
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:25.240
Do you want me to enlarge my space anywhere?

141
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.200
Or is it just enlarging my prayer time?

142
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:29.840
Is it enlarging my time of intercession?

143
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:36.000
Is it increasing there or is it increasing how I minister to other people and making

144
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:38.520
myself available?

145
00:14:38.520 --> 00:14:43.120
Is it increasing that when I go out of this house, I go out with a smile and I look to

146
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.960
people around me and I smile because most people are not smiling and you have no idea

147
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:56.040
how much a smile and eye-to-eye contact can impact someone that you run into wherever

148
00:14:56.040 --> 00:15:00.040
you are at, whether in a grocery store or wherever else, or maybe letting someone

149
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:06.120
that you don't necessarily want to in a moment get in cutting in front of you

150
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:11.340
when you're in a lane on a road whatever it is how do you want me to multiply how

151
00:15:11.340 --> 00:15:16.200
do you want me to push out and do more and just doing it with his grace and his

152
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:22.480
ability it's not to be a heavy thing his yoke is easy and his burden is light but

153
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.880
how does he want you to partner with him in doing this so anyway I'm gonna leave

154
00:15:26.880 --> 00:15:32.660
you with that today and we will continue next time with the same verse and we

155
00:15:32.660 --> 00:15:39.720
will go on to the next charge in here which means to replenish and that is a

156
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:44.840
definition all of its own here I thought they were all just like man these are so

157
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:49.640
much alike but they as you're seeing they are different and although they

158
00:15:49.640 --> 00:15:54.120
build on each other they all can stand on their own two feet by themselves so

159
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.040
it's important to look at what was expected of Adam because all those

160
00:15:58.040 --> 00:16:03.240
things are still expected of us and now we have the ability of the Holy Spirit

161
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:11.840
to walk it out and we are empowered by him so that is it and I just bless you

162
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:19.520
and release life and revelation over you as you continue to grow in your

163
00:16:19.520 --> 00:16:25.360
relationship with him are an established are transformed and father

164
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:29.880
we just thank you that you are good always good absolutely good you are

165
00:16:29.880 --> 00:16:40.400
faithful and you you you reign in our lives in Jesus name
