Right And Left Hand Of God Series

Have you ever contemplated the words spoken by God when He declared, "Let Us make man in Our image"? Since God is Spirit and does not have physical form like humans do, being made in His image does not pertain to having a physical body. Rather, it signifies that our true essence, including our spirit and soul, manifests through a human body.

Every entity on this earth possesses an origin. A widely pondered question frequently arises: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" It is the chicken. Similarly, humankind was initially fashioned as adults rather than babies. The genesis of all creation can be traced back to God; however, He moulded each creation distinctively, tailored to His satisfaction. Every element displays uniqueness. Trees distinguish themselves from shrubs, and the contrast between elephants and cats is immense.

Revelation 4:11“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power; for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure, they are and were created.”

God looked at the physical realm that He had created and said it is very good.

Genesis 1:31 And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Colossians 1:16 For by Him were all things created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him.

God created both heaven and earth but is not confined to just heaven, God is omnipresent.

John 4:24 God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth.”

Psalm 139:7-10 Whither shall I go from Thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from Thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, Thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me.

God is Spirit and Spirit is real. He has created a physical creation according to His will and for His pleasure. He has no physical bodily parts, no arms or hands or eyes such as we have. God is not confined to a physical body. However, the scriptures testify that God has revealed Himself in human form.

God represents himself as having human characteristics physically or in personality. These are symbolic descriptions, which help to make God’s attributes, powers, and activities real to us.

His unlimited ability to see by the Spirit, and the spirit arms and hands of God which can touch everywhere all at the same time healing and performing miracles all over the earth.

This brings me to the thought that for the most part, we have made God to only have a right arm or hand.

In the realm of divine symbolism, the term "yaman" represents the right hand of God, symbolizing a profound friendship and intimate connection between humans and God. This intimate bond involves opening one's heart to God, while reciprocally allowing Him to reveal His divine wisdom and insights. To be cradled in the right hand of God illustrates being embraced tightly, and kept closest to His compassionate heart.

The word "right" is used with "hand" Generally the Hebrew word " means STRONGER, God's right hand is His strength and skill, or His wonderful ability to do all things. The implication is that the right hand of God is the good hand of God, doing good things.

Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore

Psalm 118:15-16 The voice of rejoicing and salvation Is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of the Lord does valiantly. 16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted; The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Those who inherit the Kingdom are seated in Christ Jesus on God’s right hand.

Ephesians 1:18-20 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
