<TITLE>08. Par 26-29</TITLE>L-26 And I wonder about that then if we'll go back to the beginning, all things begin in Genesis. And in Genesis, we find out that God created man for His fellowship. God loved to come down and to fellowship with His people. God, in the beginning... Genesis 1: "In the beginning, God..." That word there in Hebrew is "El-- Elah--Elohim, the all-sufficient One; the self-existing One; the strong One." And in Him was attributes to be Father; in Him was attribute to be Son; in Him was attributes to be Saviour; in Him was attributes to be Healer; in Him was attributes to be God. There was nothing but God and God alone.
Now, these attributes was in Him so that made it display something to worship Him. The first thing He made was angelic beings, and they worshipped Him; they could not fall. Then He put man in flesh; he fell by free moral agency, given the right to choose right and wrong.
But God, in the beginning (I guess) it was the most glorious time, when our gracious, precious God came down in the garden of Eden in the cool and would talk to Adam and Eve, and they would fellowship.

L-27 Oh, I can just see Adam and Eve going down through the garden and the winds blowing, Eve, the little bride, saying, "Oh, Adam, the--the wind is so strong."
He'd say, "Peace." See, man was actually made to be a god. Do you know that? The Bible said...
Jesus said, "If they called them who the Word of God came to (which was the prophets), if they were gods, then how can you condemn Me when I say I am the Son of God?"
The prophets were considered gods. Man was give--made a lesser god, and given a domain on the earth. That's the reason that the world today is groaning, waiting for the full manifestations of the sons of God. Oh, there's great, deep, and blessed teaching in that, that someday man will still come back into his right place and his domain will be the earth. And he will speak to the tree or to the mountain or to anything, and it'll just go in place, just like it was intended to be. We are fallen creatures.

L-28 And then as soon as this great fellowship that God had with His children in the garden of Eden... When an Angel or someone must have brought the message, and said, "Your children have fallen, and they've sinned."
Then I can see God come to the garden Himself. Did you notice? He never sent an Angel; He never sent some servant. He came Himself. And up-and-down the garden He went, screaming, "Adam, Adam, where art thou?"
Oh, what a type we could give there. In this world today when people with a social gospel is trying to make Jesus Christ just a prophet. He was more than a prophet; He was God manifested in the flesh. God never sent a prophet or an Angel. He created a body in the wombs of the virgin Mary, and He was the Son of God. God left His own regions of glory, and He crossed His own cast to come down and become human to dwell among us.

L-29 I'd like to speak on that some night: "The Super Sign," how that He stretched His tent down here to dwell and be a--a human being, that we might know the nature of God. When we see Jesus, we see God in Him, see what God was and God's nature. He manifested; He displayed what God was, to redeem man back to Himself again.
And how that there in the beginning, when man was lost, God never sent an Angel; He came Himself and He sought. And He sought through the gardens, and under every bush, and behind every tree, until He found His lost children. Then when He found them, His fellowship was broken. They could not worship, come out before Him, because they had made themself a covering, but it wouldn't work.
