Amen, amen and amen, amen, amen, hallelujah.
All right, y'all, we're notgoing to waste any time.
(02:40):
We left off on last week'sThursday talking about the curse
, the falling of man, amen, andhow they just really they were
disobedient and how one man'sdisobedience caused the whole
world to sin, hallelujah.
And so here we are, um, in thebeginning, talking about how all
of this got started.
Amen, and we're going to pickup with.
(03:02):
I said we would start at 21,we'll kind of go back to verse
17, so we got a mental pictureagain of where we left off.
And so it says and unto Adam,he said Again Genesis 3, verse
17.
And unto Adam, he said AgainGenesis 3, verse 17.
(03:24):
And unto Adam, he said Becausethou hast hearkened Unto the
voice of thy wife and hast eatenof the tree Of which I
commanded thee Saying thou shaltnot eat of it.
Cursed is the ground for thysake and sorrow shalt thou eat
of it All the days of thy life.
(03:46):
Life thorns also, and thistlesshall it bring forth to thee,
and thou shalt eat the herb ofthe field.
Amen, uh, look.
And God gave us a differentperspective on Thursday.
But here's another perspective.
When we look at these twoparticular verses, we can see
(04:08):
that God, he was almost out ofHis foot to Adam because he knew
better, he absolutely knewbetter, but he did it anyhow.
And he says to him he says nowsee now, everything was.
You know, everything was waseasy, yeah, that all they had to
(04:31):
do was say it and it wasprobably I'm sure it was there
based on the context and thereading they didn't have to
struggle for anything.
Well, here 17 says look, look,you're still going to eat, but
you're going to have a hard timegetting it.
Amen.
He said you know, you're goingto not only have a hard time
(04:54):
getting it, but in it you'regoing to have things that poke
you and stick you and threatenyou, and you know all of these
things.
He says thou shalt eat the herbof the field.
You know it's supposed to be agiven.
(05:16):
I mean, when you look at thislanguage, it's like the
provision that we need it was agiven to them.
They had to work hard for it,it was something because they
were connected to him.
You know, it just wasn't hard,it wasn't difficult.
And we sit and we wonder, well,why is this life so hard
(05:38):
sometimes?
Why is it so hard to you knowto even put food on your table?
Why is it a struggle to youknow to even put food on your
table?
Why is it a struggle to doanything?
And the answer becomes this ofthis.
This is the curse that has beenput on man.
What should have been easy andwhat was easy because of
(06:01):
disobedience, it made it.
It made it difficult toaccomplish, not that it wouldn't
be accomplished, but it made itdifficult.
Amen, it made it difficult.
And you have to think about it.
It's like what have I madedifficult?
You know, what have I done indisobedience that has made my
(06:26):
life harder than it has to be?
Now, the reality of this is thatthis is how you know in the
beginning, man failed, and likethis has.
Really, because he failed,because he was cursed, it became
the standard, amen.
It became the standard of howwe live.
Amen, it became the standard ofhow we live.
Amen.
And what the lesson here isthat without him, when you are
(06:53):
separated from him, you're notconnected to the vibes of the
source, you're not connected tohim.
The ground that you walk onwill be cursed.
Amen, hallelujah.
I mean the reality we alreadyhave.
We already are born into thisworld sinners because of the
fall.
Amen.
(07:13):
We're born into the worldsinners and so it's going to be
difficult anyhow.
Amen, hallelujah.
This is why you got to choosethe tree of life, this is why
you got to choose Jesus, so thatyour walk is not without him.
Hallelujah, amen Again.
(07:36):
It does not dismiss the struggle.
The struggle comes because Adamand Eve, they failed.
This is why we have a struggleanyhow, in the beginning, amen,
look.
He says to us verse 20, andAdam called oh, I'm sorry, no 19
(07:57):
.
He says in the sweat of thyface, shalt thou eat bread till
thou return unto the ground, forout of it wast thou taken, for
thus thou art, and unto dustshalt thou return, adam said, or
Adam called his wife's name,eve, because she was the mother
(08:20):
of all living.
And unto Adam also and to hiswife, did the Lord make?
Did the Lord God make coats ofskin, of skins, and clothed them
?
So God, did the Lord God makecoats of skin and clothes them?
So God himself, he made themclothes.
Say, well, what did he makeclothes out of?
(08:41):
Well, I don't know, but he sayshe made him some covering.
Amen, god.
At the end of the day, eventhough they fail, he still
provided.
Amen.
Don't ever get to the placewhere you think that God won't
provide for you.
Amen.
Yes, it's hard, yes, it mightbe difficult, yes, it might be
(09:04):
complicated, but he alwaysprovides for your every need.
Amen, hallelujah.
I'm going to say that againDon't ever think that God won't
provide for you.
God provided for Adam and Eve,even though they was disobedient
.
Amen, because the world wantsto determine what you know,
(09:28):
wants to set the standard for we, as believers, it's what we're
supposed to do.
The standard for we, asbelievers, it's what we're
supposed to do, and bad partabout it is we believe it.
Amen.
The world says, well, if you didthis, this was gonna happen.
You did this, you did this, youdid this, you did that.
You.
You know you gonna do this.
You know you got all of thesethoughts and all of these ideas
(09:49):
of what's going to happen basedon logic, yeah.
But spirit says, according tothis particular section, and
creation says even though youfail, I'm still going to provide
for you Because they fail.
He could have let them walkaround naked.
You know they was naked andthey was ashamed Because now
(10:12):
they knew that they was naked.
And they was ashamed becausenow that they are now, they knew
that they were naked.
They had some understandingthat, okay, now, hey, I'm naked,
I shouldn't be this way, and sonow I gotta be covered up.
But when we came into thisworld.
We came in naked.
It's nothing to be ashamed of,amen.
But but the buddy is.
(10:32):
I'm still going to provide foryou, I'm still going to make
sure that you have what you needso that you are not ashamed, so
that you are kept.
Hallelujah To God, be the glory.
Look at 22.
He says, and the Lord God saidBehold, the man is become as one
(10:54):
of us to know good and evil.
And now, lest he put forth hishand and take also of the tree
of life and eat and live forever.
He says, therefore, the LordGod sent him forth from the
garden of Eden to till theground from whence he was taken.
(11:16):
So he drove out the man and heplaced at the east of the garden
Excuse me y'all, I'm sorry,bless me Jesus.
Okay, I'm going to read 24again.
(11:37):
So he drove out the man and heplaced at the east of the garden
of Eden cherubims and a flamingsword which turned every way to
keep the way of the tree oflife.
So now that they have fallen,god has decided okay, y'all
can't stay here.
I have to put y'all somewhereelse, except because if I don't,
(12:02):
you will literally killyourself, because now, now that
you're exposed to sin you cannot.
Ain't no way.
It's, it's, it's you can't.
It's almost like once you'reexposed to it you can't not do
it.
Yeah, once you have, onceyou've got a taste of it, it's
(12:22):
like hard to put it down.
Do you understand what I'msaying?
It's it's kind of like thatwhen you think about 20, verse
22, and why he moved them out ofthe, out of eden, they he in a
sense, was protecting them fromthemselves.
Amen, you have to look at thisas a good father protects his
(12:43):
children.
It's like you know, he willmove us out of the place that
will kill us.
Amen, hallelujah.
It's like he will allow thatthing to bring us to the place
of submission.
At the same time, he can takethat same thing and move us away
(13:06):
from it and keep it fromkilling us.
Amen, hallelujah.
He said what did he say?
He said the Lord God saidBehold, the man is become as one
of us.
So now he has, he has aAwareness Of good and evil.
(13:28):
Amen, he says to know good andevil.
And now, lest he put forth hishand and take also of the tree
of life and eat and live forever.
You see, when I read that, thatyou're not gonna be wrong when
(13:49):
I read that.
It's like almost like.
Is he saying we'll be like him?
Yeah, well, we will be exactlylike him.
Now, in a sense, kind of sorter, because our soul never dies.
Our soul will always live on.
This is an interesting verse tome.
(14:10):
Let me look at my commentaryhere.
It says because of sin, peoplenow knew good and evil
Experimentally.
Since the gift of life wasdirectly tied to obedience,
man's sin meant that the penaltyof death must be enforced.
(14:33):
Ironically, the Lord God sentAdam forth from the garden so
that Adam would not reach, wouldnot reach for the garden's
fruit.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know ify'all picked it up, that's what
(14:56):
I pick up, you know, even savingthem from themselves.
I mean, it's like us and thePringles, right, can't just have
one.
Yeah, and this is why he wasprotecting them.
So when God move you and shiftyou, you gotta know that he's
protecting you from the thingthat can kill you, that can hurt
you worse, even worse, amen.
(15:19):
So something to ponder on,right, and I'm gonna stop right
there and we're gonna pick uptomorrow at four.
