“The answer to why prayer is necessary
lies in God’s original plan when He created Adam…Adam represents all of us.
What God intended for Adam, He intended for the entire human race.” (Gen.
1:26-28 tells of his origin, and what he was to do.)
We see this also in Psalm 8:3-8: ‘When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the
moon and the stars, which Thou has ordained; What is man, that Thou does take
thought of him?... Thou dost make him to
rule over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet...’ Adam (and
eventually his descendants) was God’s manager, God’s steward or governor. Adam
was God’s mediator, go-between or representative. Adam, God’s Re-Presenter on Earth-
“..let
them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air,…and over
every creeping thing …” Gen.1:26
