“The Men of EMIC must remain in a state of spiritual readiness!”
– Pastor George Pearsons
The God kind of Man is the image of Jesus Himself
If we are going to see the Glory of God manifested in our churches, in our schools, in our government, it will begin in and through us. The Glory of God is the manifestation of His presence. This is a result of what the Bible talks about dying to the old man and putting on the new man which is the image of Jesus. Dying to ourselves and living the surrendered life always results in being clothed in the Glory as He predestined since the creation of Adam. This is the GREAT EXCHANGE. (Read Ephesians 4:17-29)
God is calling an army of men to rise-up from the wine press, come up from the place of self-preservation and back into the identity and purpose God predestined.
The original design for what is a man can be found in Genesis 1:26 when God said:
“let Us make man in Our image(expression), after our likeness(character) and having dominion (authority) over everything – abundance
So we know that by original • intent / law of first mention is that Manhood and Christlikeness are one in the same.
So, when Adam fell, man fell out of the image and likeness of God losing his authority – he lost having the character / nature of God.
Psalm 8 reveals how the Almighty God has CROWNED Man with GLORY and honor (v.5). Man was created a little lower than “Elohim” and was crowned with Glory and Honor. Before sin manifested in humankind, Adam and Eve were clothed – surrounded with – and crowned with the Glory of God. The man and his wife walked around as God did – covered with His Glory.
They were so saturated with His Glory they had no consciousness of being physically unclothed (Gen.3: 6-11). God is perfection covered by Glory. Man was innocence covered by Glory! Adam was made in the image and likeness of God. Unfortunately, with the entry of sin, the covering of glory was removed and the crown of glory lifted.
So that now everything God is doing to us and through us through Jesus Christ is to restore us back to the image, likeness and authority of Jesus which is the full expression of manhood.
Romans 8:29 (NKJV) “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren (Jesus as the Adam replacement).”
“Putting on the Armor of God is putting on the Image of Jesus,
This is the God Kind of Man” – Josh Gonzalez
“God is not here to make you a better version of yourself but a Christ-like version reflecting His image, His likeness and having His authority.” – Pastor Al Velez
Confession over the 7 Rewards of the Fast

1. An awakening to You in the body of Christ; waking us out of our apathy, complacency and lethargy!
2. An awakening to You in Israel – the apple of Your eye!
