Genesis 3:1-6
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?~And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:~But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die~And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:~For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.~And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit therof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her: and he did eat.
Oh my God, this is such a good lesson that God has gifted me to teach, but only if there are those with spiritual ears open to hear and receive!
There is a dangerous spirit roving around in the midst of the body of Christ...it is this thing called a diversion! It is similar to those things done when a petty thief sets up someone to get robbed! He creates a smoke screen...a scenery in which you really can't tell what is going on and all along he is coming in to get YOUR stuff! YOUR stuff...that which belongs to you, that which you ought to be holding sacred and dear...and the thing which he is now most interested in corrupting is your thought process! He is after your mind!!!! (You MUST have the Mind of Christ!!!!)
Now we always knew he would go after our mind but this time, he is trickier...using different types of tactics and even confusing many, to think that you are on the right track...in the right place...talking about the right things....while all along, he has crept in unaware! He is sneaky and creepy!
The enemy has come into our houses of God and began to filter his logic into our minds! He has put a twist on what is really going on and if your not careful...your not sure what you really believe! For the mature, this is caused a hmmm....attitude, not really sure how I feel about that one....Something about that is not consistent with the Wisdom I already have in my spirit!!! It's a Warning sign for you to cancel what was just said!!!, BUT for the immature, it has caused a newfound agreement, to being able to stay the way they are, no need for advancing, growing or adhering to what you already have learned!!!! and when they have nothing Godly to pursue...before long...there is No Godly demonstration!!!
What am I talking about....I'm glad you asked!
It's a spirit of confusion introduced into the places where we should be getting full revelation of the word of God! It's the enemies way he has tried to add things into our times of worship...a word of nothing! He wants to move you off your ability to hear what God is saying, by giving you something else...and many times we have taken the bait and ran with it! We must be careful for this is something that confuses the feeble, the weak, the immature and the babes! It gives them a false sense of security, and allows them to live a life which is stagnate! He loves to bring confusion to the thought processes of the believer just as he has done for so many eons of time! This is nothing but a divisive ploy!
In this text, Eve, is found talking to someone she should have never been talking to and not only did she talk, but she listened! And while she had a covering which had been provided unto her for comfort, support and instruction...she chose to listen to a creep! She stopped her busy schedule to talk to that which had no business conversing with her! He had no reason to be teaching or inspiring her...but he found an occasion to do so, by inviting her to look at what God had said was off limits!!!! It is a dangerous thing when we take our eyes off of what God has said yes to and look at what he said no to!
In this we find the purpose of why God is requiring me to address this issue! She became so enamored by what God has deemed unprofitable to her...and totally forgot about ALL the beautiful things which make up this huge, beautiful place called Paradise!
Paradise is a place...where the living God dwells...he was right there with them! He was ALWAYS in their midst...His love was so near, it was permeating this place...Paradise! It was beyond beautiful, it was ever flowing, everything was growing and everything was glorifying God in its perfect way! Can you smell the fragrant flowers in Paradise? The smell had to encompass them and intrigue them, enrapturing them in the beauty and splendor due unto the Lord! Can you see the beautiful butterflies in Paradise? I bet the colors that they displayed were vivid, and illustrious, magnifying and transcending anything that we could even imagine today. Can you see the radiant grass blades as the mist comes up from the ground to tend to its care? In the morning, can you imagine the tree branches swaying as they join the birds to sing glory to God Almighty for this new day which is beautiful and glorious in every way! Tranquil was this place, God designed this beautiful place....Paradise....for perfect man! The sky, perfectly lit and glowing...never a cloudy day! But instead of Eve enjoying what was given in Perfect Love to her, she found herself lured into a treasonous conversation with a spiritual thief! It was always his plan to ravish her! He went for the kill...because he knew that the twist on the word of God would compromise the relationship she now shared with the Father!
Where are you found???
God has given divine Inspiration for your life!!! He has spoken into your spirit and love on you profusely! He is so in love with you! He has made provision for your day! He has given you access to His Holy Place, where you and He can just spend time together? Will you be found listening, obeying, surrendering and basking in the glory of the Lord?
or
Will you be found somewhere on the outside, watching things which are not beneficial to your spiritual growth? Are you easily led away with every wind of doctrine that is brought your way?
Are you looking for signs and wonders? When people teach cliches', Are you so taken with that, that you've missed the word of God? Have you had milk so long that meat is not desirable? Would you know if something else had been introduced and what would you do when you are invited to be a partaker of it? Many questions the spirit of the Lord is asking us at this time! We cannot be easily led astray! We must come to know the word of God in such manner that we are assured of its details, not going off of what someone else has said! I saw a man in a parking lot a distance off from me attempting to bring some gentlemen before the throne of God...he told them a bible story that was sooooo twisted around, it was hard to see why they would even stand and listen, but they just wanted to know something about Jesus....they stood up and began to solicit the Heavens for God to be the head of their lives. Now I know that this was meant for me to both see and hear...as I should have not been able to hear what they were saying from such a distance...But God wanted me to see....how people will say amen to almost anything....the word of God tells us to hide His word in our hearts that we might not sin against thee...It's our spiritual duty to know the difference between cliches and true revelation from the spirit of the Lord!!!
The danger in this season is that the enemy has duped us into using precious appointed times of Worship, Teaching and Training which should be used to Advance the Kingdom of God, but instead we are teaching worldly concepts, ideas, and analogies, at a time when we need the word of God, like never before! We heard a misquoted word from someone on a bad day...and we begin to run with it! We heard someone speak their own, attitude, their own opinion about something, their own feelings of jealousy, guilt and fear...and it is this which has become the focus of many settings where we are to be building up the body of Christ, by edifying and bringing true revelation! If we would give more time teaching the word of God, we wouldn't have to worry about being careful of how we say things! That thing which the enemy has brought to us has only come to back us off of the real true essence of the word of God! That revelation that comes when we seek Him with everything we have....not letting Him go until He blesses us!!!
It's time to refocus and prioritize our lives...there is tooo much revelation God is dispensing and we must have our minds clear and available for that which is Holy and Pure and not focused on watered down, misquoted worldly ideas!
If you want to do you....you go on....But God has Anointed us to do JESUS!!!!!
Put away the cliches.....the enemy has tricked you into remembering that which is of no good and forgetting that which is Holy and Precious....The Rhema, and The Logos...it's all we should be focusing on at this most Urgent time!!! Lets make our Churches a place where God dwells and where He is illuminated...if we lift Him up...He will draw All men unto Him!!! Let's stop giving accolades to someone and Keep the glory on the one who truly deserves it....JESUS!!!!! Stop looking at what is not Holy and Look unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith!!!!
God Bless You!!!!
