Revelation 2:13
That's a beautiful vision for "one day" but what about "today?"
Where does disappointment come from?
What can we do about it?
Genesis 2:6-9 + 15-17
Genesis 25 naked and felt NO SHAME
The enemy is trying to make us feel that the Bible is too difficult to understand and too difficult to live out.
When we're in isolation the enemy can influence us.
We serve a God of freedom.
He gives us some restriction for the betterment of ourselves.
It's very dangerous for us to add to God's Word.
It's dangerous to add our own opinion on God's Word.
God's Word is clear.
God was trying to protect them from the weight of the knowledge of evil.
It's the very thing that makes us question, "why God?"
We will steer where we stare.
What provision is all around you that you're not recognizing?
Their eyes were opened.
God asks, "where are you?"
He knows where they are physically.
Come out of your place of hiding.
Get off Facebook and get your face in My book!
God asks, "How do you know you're naked?"
Someone else's words became the words of our story.
God doesn't want their words to becomes words of our story, God wants His words to become THE words of the story of our lives.
Sin always comes as a package deal with consequences.
Revelation 22 Eden restored!
There will no longer be any curse.
Right now we're doing life between two gardens.
It's no wonder we crave perfection, it was etched into our souls.
If lesser loves ever satisfied us, we would not need Jesus.
The Middle Garden
Mark 14:32
Faith and feelings come in conflict.
Feeling like God hasn't fixed it in the timing you want.
"Take this from me."
"Yet not what I will, but what You will."
We serve a God who is to be trusted and not tamed.
God knows, and He will.
"The enemy wants us paralyzed and compromised by what-ifs, opinions, accusations, and misunderstandings."
