BEing 1st DOing 2nd

This morning woke up with this in my mind - Genesis 1:26-29
I remember distinctively that in my dream, I heard a voice reminding me about these verses.

You first made man in Your likeness and image. Then You placed them in the garden and told man to subdue and take dominion. I like the amplified version that says, "subdue it" (using all its vast resources in the service of God and man.)More about this later...

The main point here is that, You first made man in Your image and likeness and gave man the Your authority. It's after all these that You have man subdue and take dominion.

It's still the BEing that's important here. Despite all that I see and the circumstances around me, I'm to remember- the Holy Spirit engineered all these circumstances is so that I can allow You to keep shaping, forming and molding me so that I can BE like You. So that I can BE just like the pattern Son, Jesus who is Your BEloved son whom You are well pleased with.

I must keep allowing You to shape and form me so that I can begin to see, feel, hear, think and respond as Your son would. It's in my formation in BEing the very son , You want me to be which would bring You pleasure and delight.

What's the point of subdue and take dominion if I'm not first BEing formed in Your image and likeness. Then I would just be like the ordinary people out there- just trying to make a living, sustaining and living a routine life!!! I DON"T WANT TO LIVE A ROUTINE LIFE!!!

I WANT TO LIVE THE LIFE THAT YOU WANT ME TO LIVE-AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE!!

The garden(marketplace) is big and with the trees, I must beforehand know what is the purpose of me being there and what I'm to do if not I would be eating from the forbidden tree. It's so vital that I keep allowing You to form me cause I don't want to be a casualty there. NO! I don't want to be bound and oppressed by the system of Babylonian.

I ONLY DRINK FROM THE RIVER OF LIFE!! THIS RIVER OF LIFE SETS ME FREE!!

By allowing You to form me then I would be an accurate representative of Yours and carrying Your authority and executing it accurately. That's why, You took all that 30 years to form Jesus, so that He could be the BEloved Son whom You are well pleased with. It's after all the formation that You begin to have Him start His ministry.

The formation is so vital because of the assignment that which is coming. To know You more and more and have You shape me is all for a reason - for the assignment. To represent You accurately, execute it as how You want me to and to complete it, it needs a man that already been taken by You and Your hand is the midst of shaping him.

Now this is why, BEing comes first and the DOing later!!
