Amen. Praise the Lord. Amen. Praise and praise and praising Amen. Amen,

worthy to be praised. Thank you Jesus. Get ready for

the word of God. Amen. Amen.

Thank and praise God for all of you today. And

to see uh, sister Lysse of wealth and in motion.

Amen.

Somebody thank God for the healing hand of God. We

thank God this morning for his presence in this place.

Amen.

We thank God for being here. We're living in a

world of destruction, Amen, And we need to stay focused.

This is not something new. This has been going on

since the beginning of time. Started in the beginning of time.

As a matter of fact, it started before time. It

started before time, because it all started in heaven before

it started on earth.

Amen.

The rebellion and the sin against God started would Lucid

for us in heaven, and then Eve was deceived, and

then Adam sin against God.

But we thank God that he sent us Jesus Christ. Amen.

We thank Him for Jesus who bore all our sins

on the cross. Amen. For without Jesus Christ, we'll be here.

But we have no hope here, we have no peace here, we.

Have no happiness. Some may say, well I'm happy, Oh no,

you don't have true happiness. You just have the world's happiness.

You have the world's peace. That's why you get disturbed

so easily, because you got the world's peace. He the

peace that Jesus said, I give them to you, not

as the world giveth, I give unto you. It's a

different peace, Amen. It's a peace that holds up in

the times of trouble, in the times of turmoil, in

the times of confusion.

Amen. Amen.

So we give God the honor today and the praise

and glory, thanking Him always for his most precious treasure

and treasure. Thank God for his greatest creation, which would

be us.

Amen.

We think and praise God for our safety always, and

for his giving us the needs that we have and

the wants that we want.

Amen.

Amen, Because that's the kind of God that we serve.

I do think in praise Him this morning. When I

think about the goodness of God, I also think about

the power of God, and I think about the wrath

of God. I think about what kind of God he

is and what kind of God he can be.

Amen.

I think about in these last day and I'm looking

at the destruction of the world, and I'm thinking about

the people of God all over the world. And I'm

not being selfish, but I think about those here more

simply because this is where I'm responsible, Amen, And I

want to make sure, by the help of the Lord

and the Holy Spirit of God and the Jesus and me,

that I direct the people God give me responsibility over

in the right way, in the truth of his word,

in the warnings of his words, in the way that

we should live and carry ourselves. Because I don't want

no blood on my hands when he comes.

I want to see him in good standings. We watched,

we watched.

And I'm gonna get to it, but we watched the.

Movie the other day. It was called The Rapture of

the Church. That's the name of the movie.

And they was being warned about him coming, and even

that was a that was a I didn't even get

it at first, but I kept listening and I got it.

The guy sitting in the barber chair was one of

the ministers.

In the church, and he kept me out, he don't

want to hear all that. How can you not want

to hear all that? They were talking about it in

the barber.

Shop, and he was like, I got on hear all

that and all that, and I'm like what. Then I

realized they called him, you know, he was a preacher.

I know they was teasing at first, but as the

story went on, I saw him in the church up

with his rob on with the other ministers and the pastor.

But it went on and on and on, and it

was talking about uh. When they was that Sunday when

they was going to church and with the many houses

and people were left behind home, the little boy said

he was going.

He was talking.

He was on the phone talking to some little girl upstairs.

His daddy was was a deacon, his mama they was already.

He wasn't getting ready.

He was gonna.

He's trying to pick up a little girl. He said,

if she ain't going to church today, I ain't going.

So she broke up with this other guy who got

another girl pregnant. Her parents found out the back of

long story short, her parents told her, no, you riding

with us the church, So she went with him.

With the parents.

She was mad and he found out she wasn't. She

didn't answer her phone, so he felt like she didn't

roll with her parents, so she ain't going, so he

stayed at home. Then the lady came and talked to

her husband. He wanted to watch the game. You know,

the game coming on.

I promise you I'll go with you next Sunday. I

promise I'd go with you next Sunday. That's what he said.

But all in all, in short, the preacher was preaching,

and the service had begun, and the rapture came, and

all those people the earthquake shook the earth.

This dude came.

Running over the guy's house and told his wife, I

would be next Sunday.

Because he was in there.

He was outside watching his car. That one was waiting

for the game to come on. He come running. He said, man,

you've seen the news.

He said no. He went in and flipped the TV

on and he could see. He kept changing channels, and

all over the world the rapture had hit.

The earth was shaking, earthquakes had come, floods had came,

faming it came. All of that was happening, all of them.

The little boy that didn't go to church ran to

the church. The man said he'd be there next Sunday

ran to the church. The lady that was smoking a

cigarette and on the phone talking to somebody before she

was gonna go to church and.

Told the son to come coming. He ain't want to

go to church.

He the one that got the other little girl pregnant,

and the other girl broke up with him because because

of that.

She comes to church. They all running up in the church.

The rapat hit.

Big church full of people at one point, but the

rapture hit, it was just a few people left in there. Wow, wailing,

crying on their knees, begging. The one that was smoking

a cigarette before she went to church, she coming and running.

Lord, I did all you told me to do. I

came to church. Yeah, but you want to say, baby.

All used to have seen a lot of folks in

their nice suits and nice dresses.

And the big hats and stuff all left behind. And

then the man all this got a point y'all.

And the man who told his wife he'll be in

church next Sunday but he want to stay gona watch

the game. He running in there looking for his wife.

There the meat coat was laying on the pew.

She was gone.

Then the preacher that was in the barbershop talking about

he want herolder, he said, it's real.

It was really real.

Oh yeah, it's real. Whether you believe it or not,

but you will believe it. But you better believe it

in the right standings.

He went up to the one I've been preaching then.

It was a preacher, one of the preachers up there.

I've been preaching for forty years. Forty years, forty years.

Forty aint none.

Of y'all been saved forty years, not that I know.

Maybe in his sister layin. Don't know you only fifty,

so I know you wouldn't say it again forty years.

I ain't even been saved forty years.

Forty years he been preaching. Then.

The little girl who wanted to ride with the little boy,

but her parents went a little.

She was in the church on her knees.

I thought, listen to her words. Now you gotta listen

to the words of these people.

I thought I was saved. I thought I was saved. No, baby,

you wasn't saying because you left behind. You wouldn't say,

she said. I thought I would say, I keep telling you.

Better know you saved. Better know it. You can't think it.

You'll be sitting there saying. I thought I was saying.

The rapture of the church, y'all watch it. It's on

taboo to U be I. I think it's that say

t B that say taboo. It's on two B. You

can google it. Watch it. The rapture of the church,

it's powerful, sends a powerful message.

All those people thinking that they can do it the

next time.

The next time, no man know the day of the hour.

That's what God was proving to all of them proved

it to him.

You should see all the people as a big church.

They had rolls over there in that field and over there.

That field, and that big church was and when some

of them are huge church, it's just just a remnant

of people in the in the Hugh crying welly, falling

down on their knees, praying too late down. But the

main characters them four five six main characters who we

actually dealt with in the in the movie.

They came up in there.

That one lader, she just fell down on her knee

soon as she came in the door. They kept saying

it happened, it happened. Then the one guy who told

his wife he'll be there Sunday, he pulled out a

thousand dollars to the preacher, like you gotta fix that.

He told the preacher you gotta fix this.

I'm gonna pa he said, Man, you can't pay your

way in.

See all it was a bunch of messages in that.

You gotta look at it.

You gotta watch that movie and listen and look and

look at the messages and look at the messages.

But I brought that all out because.

We're living in a time where the saints of God

ain't even paying attention to sin. Sin't gonna get you

out of heaven. It ain't gonna get you in. They're

not paying attention. And when I'm talking about sin, I'm

talking about their own sin, their own shortcomings. Babble, say,

work out your own and if they work out, mind

and yours and his and theirs, work out your own

salvation with fear and shildren. How do you all of

us work out our own salvation practically the same way

right here, right here.

We all might not have the.

Same problems, but it's all worked out right here.

This is the answer for all of it. It's already

been answered too. It's already been answer.

I sent that to a couple other people to watch,

but I wanted to tell y'all about it, And it's.

On taboo to b to u bei the rapture of

the church put in the rapture of church to pop up.

Let us pray, Father, we come before you right now

in the name of Jesus. We thank you for hosting

us this morning. We thank you for your word. Pray

God that your word will impart wisdom, knowledge and understanding

to us, because we know that it's what it's all about. Father,

in the name of Jesus, Your word is wisdom, your

word is knowledge, and we pray that the Holy Goost

will give us understanding of it, that we may grow

even more and more in you, Father, in the name

of Jesus, that we will come more and more to

an understanding of your will and your ways. Father, that

we won't be caught unaware. Hallelujah. Lord, Thank you Lord

for caring so much to warn us of the things

to come, and not only to warn.

Us, but help us help us in the warnings the

name of Jesus.

And as your word goes forth, let it do God,

what you would have it to do, and let us

receive it and let it manifest in our lives. In

Jesus' name, I praise Amen. In the Book of Genesis,

chapter three, I'm going to tell you a story that

you have heard before. It's God's truth about man's guilt

in God's innocence. So people can guilty blame God. I

want to tell you.

This story about God's innocence and man's guilt.

Amen, God's innocence and man's guilt. This is a story

about God's innocence because it's in the beginning. Amen, look

at this verse her first timity to all right, let's

look at this in Genesis chapter three, starting in verse one.

Now you with me, hey man, It says, now the

serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field

which the Lord God had made. He made them all,

and he said unto the woman. He said to the woman, Yes,

has God said you should not eat of the every

tree of the garden.

It's the serpent talking to.

The woman, and the woman said, unto the serpent, she's

starting to have a conversation. That's where you mess up.

You don't sit around and have a conversation with the devil.

We may eat of the fruit of the tree of

the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which

is in the midst of the garden. God had said,

ye should not eat of it, neither shall ye touch

it least you die. God didn't say nothing boy touching it.

He said, don't eat it. And she's already messed up

about what God told him. And the serpent said, unto

the woman, ye shall not surely die. You ain't gonna die,

for God does know that in the day you eat thereof,

then your eyes shall be open, and ye shall be

as gods. Oh that really gat he knowing good and evil.

But they was already like gods.

And when the woman saw that the tree was good

for food, and it is, and it was pleasant to

the eyes, she already know the tree was good for food.

She's been she's starting to deceive her own self and

the deception of the devil.

And the tree to be desired.

To make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof

and did eat, and gave also until her husband with her,

and he did eat. Okay, So that dispels the fact

that people keep saying, and Adam wasn't right there. Adam

w over there into God. So she got one of

the longest arms in history that God ever made. Because

the Bible said, with her, I don't know what with

her means anybody else, But to me, it means he

was standing right there.

He wasn't.

Right there observing everything that she was doing. And the

eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that

they were nicked. And they sewed fig leaves together and

made themselves aprons.

And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking

in the garden in the cool of the day.

Now they're not sinning and cut up. Now here come God.

And you know God always comes after you sin. You

do know that right because he comes in to the

holy gulfs, had come to try to what he tries

to do, cause you to repent, have a godless sorrow

about what you did. And they heard the voice of

the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool

of the day. And Adam and his wife hid themselves,

They said, Adam and his wife, wasn't his girlfriend hid

themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst.

The trees of the garden.

And the Lord God called unto Adam. He didn't call

Eve and said unto him. He didn't say it to her.

Where are you?

And he Adam said, I heard your voice in the garden,

and I was afraid because I was nicked.

And I hid myself. He was ashamed, and he said,

who told you that you were naked? Don't tell me

God in.

Sarcastic, have you eaten of the tree where I've commanded

you that you should not eat?

Have you done this?

And the man said, he didn't answer, and say, yeah, Lord,

that's what out. Indeed, now he said, the woman whom

you get to me be with. She gave me of

the tree. She gave me of the tree, and I

did eat. And the Lord God said, unto the woman,

what is this that you have done? And the woman said,

the serpent begalled me. He the one tricked me, and

I did he he the one that did it, and

I got deceived. Y'all may see that in the house

of the Lord. So he blamed the serpent in the

sense she was also blaming God because God had made

the serpent. And Adam blamed the woman whom God gave

to her. Nobody took responsibilities.

And verse fourteen said that the Lord God said, unto

the serpent, he done went through everybody, but he ain't

asking him. He telling him, because you have done this,

you are cursed above all cattle and above every beast

of the field he done cursed he the only animal

that God cursed upon your although even though what they did.

Curse the animals, but he was cursed greater than all animals,

because in the end time.

He's gonna steal, be delivered and not be venomous. But

he's gonna always crawl on his belly in the dust

for the because God told him. This is what God

told him.

And the Lord God said, unto the serpent, because you

have done this, you are cursed above our cattle and

above every beast of the field. Upon your belly shall

you go, and dust shall you eat all the days

of your life.

That right there is what got him, all the days

of your life. Even though when the end time come

and God comes, Jesus comes back, and we go back

to the beginning and at the end, and we live

in a holy body, in a holy land and the

holy earth, and there's no more evil. That certain is

still gonna crawl on his belly, because he said, all

the days.

Of your life, and I will put imity between you

and the woman as animosity enemy, and between your seed

and her seed shall and between your seed and her

seed it shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise

his heel.

Talking about Jesus Christ, the suffering on the cross.

This is the prophecy of the deliverance of man after

the fall of man. The deliverance was already prophesied, he said,

unto the woman.

Unto the woman, he.

Said, I will greatly multiply your sorrow.

And your conception.

Oh, okay, in sorrow you shall bring forth children. That's

a result of the fall. And the children are gonna

be born into a world of sorrow as today. And

your desire shall be to your husband, and he shall

rule over you. So instead here he said that your husband,

instead of God would now rule over you. And then

to Adam, he said, because of you, Because until Adam,

he said, because you have hearkened until the voice of

your woman, the first role reversal in marriage. Instead of

listening to me and have eaten, you listen to her.

And you have eaten of the tree of which I

commanded you, saying, ye shall not eat of it. Cursed.

Listen to the cursed, Adam.

Cursed is the ground for your sake and sorrow shall

you eat of it all the days of your life.

See the earth was intended to be a paradise. But

now it's gonna give up thistles and thorns and all

this kind of.

Stuff all the days of his life. That's a death

sentence to Adam, because death was never in the beginning.

And now he done gave Adam a death sentence. Thorns also,

and thistles, shall it bring forth to you? And you

shall eat the herb of the field in the sweat

of your face. Shall you eat bread? It's gonna be

obtained by hard labor. Now, so what he's telling them,

till you return into the ground, that's the death sentence,

for out of it. You were taken from dust. You are,

and until dust shall you return. So we look at this.

He always talking about we were made from the dirt

of the dirt. Now all the Bible said we made

from dust. You know how hard it is take dust

and put it together.

This is just see it.

Was about the dust showing the power of God. You

can take some dirt and mold some stuff, but you

can't take no dust and do it.

You throw it up and dust and the air gonna

go up.

In there eventually disappear, and the little Parker say, is

gonna fall back to the ground. You can't grab that

dust in form nothing out of us. But God did

because he was letting us know his power, how powerful

it is.

And Adam called his wife named Eve.

Because she was the mother of all living. See right there,

right there, that was the mercy of God to let

man know that man kind don't stop right here. And

because every time a baby is born, that's the mercy

of God and the promise of God that he does

not intend to destroy all of mankind of humanity.

See, we wanta watch this stuff.

You gotta feel God when you're reading this, It says

an Adam called his wife's name Eve.

What is what does Eve's name mean? Living? The mother

of the living. See.

God named the man he named the Madam, which means earth,

a red earth. And Adam named the woman he called

the Eve, which means life. So Adam named Adam bears.

The name of the dying body, Eve of the living soul.

Are you with me?

Because see when Adam sinned against God, he died twice

his body that was eternal Dad and his spirit Dad,

because he was no longer connected to God. But the

mercy of God until Adam also and to his wife,

did the Lord God make coats of skins and clothe them.

Now, you got to understand this. The little figs they made, the.

Little outfits they made out of figs, wasn't good enough.

God made them from clothes. Did you hear the Bible?

They said God took the skins of the animals and

made them from clothes.

For something happened right there. Nobody know what happened right there,

You Maty, know what happened right there.

You can't get them clothes off them anamals unless they die.

So what God did right there, he did He.

Did a remission of sin for them. He killed the animal.

Blood is the only thing is can give forgiveness of sin.

So he didn't just make them clothes out of the animals.

He made a sacrifice on the altar for their sins

that they committed against him.

Let me prove something out.

The people keep saying Adam and Eve will deceived by

the devil.

And when they say that, they say that, right, that's

what they say. Right?

Is that what you believe and what I believe? But

is that what you believe? I'm just telling you that

ain't what I believe. But that is that what you believe?

That Adam Eve was deceived by the devil.

Let me help you out.

First Timothy, chapter two. Want everybody turn there, first Timothy,

chapter two. And let's look at verse fourteen. Everybody there,

Everybody ain't there? First Timothy, chapter two, verse fourteen. When

you get there, say man, hey, man, brother, you ain't

there yet.

I want everybody to see this. They already looking at it.

No Timothy Backer in the back after there's a lonely

he got baby before hebrews, and we gonna wait on you.

This the day of the Lord. That's what God told

us all he set aside for himself.

First, First Timothy, chapter two, Verse fourteen.

Yeah, listen to the word.

Let's start at thirteen. For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

So creation was made like this, Adam, then Eve and Adam.

Somebody said that was not what Adam was. Now I

need to hear everybout it. Adam was not what, Adam

was not what, but the.

Woman being what was in the transgression.

So the so Adam was not the bibble say that.

Charles Thompins didn't say that. Charles Chompins repeated it. And

Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was

in transgression. But nevertheless, she shall be saved in child

bearing if they continue in the faith and charity and

holiness with sobriety.

So how was she saved in childbury? You know how

she was saving in child baring because Jesus was coming.

G was coming. Jesus was coming. She had Caine and Abel,

and then she had Says because.

He couldn't come through Caine, but he was gonna come.

Through Abel, but came killed him.

And since he killed him, he couldn't come through King

because Caine wasn't righteous. He had to come through a

righteous lineage. So Adam knew his wife again. That means

he went into her and she bore another son, Seth.

That's the lineage David came. Then then all the linages

and then David, and then Jesus came.

Through the lineage of David. That's why they called him

the son of David, who was the seed Eve. So

couldn't letting people tell you that that Adam and Eve,

that Adam and Eve were deceived. That ain't what the

Bible say.

That's what they say, But that ain't what the Bible say.

Hey man, that's what matters. Let's look at this Genesis.

Genesis is a powerful book, just like the rest of them,

of course.

But the thing about Genesis is, if you read Genesis

in its entirety, you really have read the whole Bible.

You've really read.

Basically every concept of creation and man's point of a

man's future.

You've read it.

Genesis tells us the creation of the universe. Genesis two.

Genesis one tells us the creation of the universe. Genesis

two tells us about the fuller way of the creation

of humanity. Genesis three tells us about the fall of

man and how evil enter the world. Boom, that's it.

In chapter one and two we see that a.

Good God created a good world by his might, by

his mighty word, he spoke the world into being, and

by the dust of the earth he made man. See

this is why the Bible said the word of God

is spirit.

Y'all, you're with me, because God didn't take anything to

make something. He spoke it. His word is spirit.

And when he spoke it, it went out into the

earth and created. How you with me, and something came

into fluition. I'm trying to tell you something. Your very

words create things in your own life.

I was telling somebody the other day that keeps.

I said, you gotta quit speaking this negaive stuff. Quit

speaking niggas.

Stuf, speak positi stivef It don't matter. You can just

speak positive stuff.

And they were saying this, and they were saying this, Well,

I guess I ain't got no job no more.

They ain't calling. I've been called them as fah blah

blah blah.

I said, quit speaking negative stuff. You don't know what's

going on. I said'mna take what's going on. They may

have gotten your call and your text, but they was

too busy to answer you right back. Soon as I

left that person's house from doing some work over them

having that conversation with As soon as I got home,

the phone ring, they can answer phone my job call.

I said, really, they said, and you know what they

told me? She was right, you was right. I said,

all right, I speak through the spirit of God. God

gave me what to say to you. My client said.

They said they was doing rounds and they were too

busy to answer the call. That's exactly what I told

that in the vision. But you got to speak yourself

out of a job. If I didn't spoke the positive

stuff back into the atmosphere for you.

I took a lady to get a car one time

from the old church I used to go to. Because

I don't know why this pass word always sick people

on me to take the gold look for cars. So

we go to the lot I take.

I took a many of them. They went to the

lot and I talked because I could talk. You know,

I had to gift the gas.

And I'm talking to the cellar and telling him you

ain't got to make a million. I was off one person,

make it out of a whole lot of So give everybody,

give somebody a break.

You'll get there.

In other words, don't be trying to rip him off.

And everybody got a car.

But this one person I took passed over, asked, brother Thomas,

go with you to get the car.

So I went with the person to get the car.

He's sitting there going they ain't gonna give me this car.

He ain't gonna get this car. My credit. This my

credit that I'm sitting there going, Would you shut up?

I said, if you keep speaking this, you speaking yourself

right out of the car.

Man came in there, long story, strush walk. We left

the same way. We came in my in my car. Heymen,

So we asked.

I said, if a good God created a good world,

how is it that a good God makes a good

world and it's so full of evil?

Something has happened to our world? We read in Genesis,

not that part further in the in the in the

further part of not the further part, in the latter part,

where God made this so it was good, made that

so it was good. How did a good God make

so many things? He saw it was good? Because if

he saw it was good, it was good. Why was

it good because he made it? Why? Because he made it?

Because he don't make evil, and he don't do evil,

and he don't tell people to do evil. So what

happened to our world?

If a good God made a good world and it's

so full of evil, why is there violence in this world? War, bitterness, hatred, resentment,

and prejudice.

In a world a good God made? Hm.

Well, I'm gonna tell you, I'm glad you ass the

evil in this world exists.

In our world. Y'a ain't gonna like it because it

lives in us. That's why. Because it lives in us.

Because you see every one of us has had and

some still have the oudam nature.

Oh yeah, every one of us have had, have had

past tens, and some still have presents.

Who's the one who have had those that got Jesus

on the inside.

Who's the one that still have the ones that don't

have Jesus.

That's simple. I'm glad you asked.

Seeing in the third chapter, verses one through seven, Moses

began to write about the temptation.

And the entry of sin.

He begins with the serpent, who was the instrument that

Satan used of the temptation? Seeing Revelations ninth, Relation twelve

and nine. It speaks of that old serpent, the devil

and Satan. But the eternal source listen to me, good,

The eternal source of temptation comes to a person and

invokes an answering response. See, temptation comes and it provokes

answer me an answering response, are you with me? And

it desires within that person. Evil comes from without.

But the Book of James plainly teaches us that in

James's Chapter one, let's read it, this had happened. This

is what happened to.

James way back there too, brother, right before Peter, after

Hebrews when you get there, say man, James, chapter one

and verse starting in verse thirteen, how were you with me?

A yeah, let's start at verse thirteen. Matter of fact,

let's start at verse.

Twelve. Are you there? James, Chapter one, verse twelve.

Blessed is the man who endures temptation. That's talking about

a man who endures the test of fate, because the

devil gonna continue to test your faith. Or when he

is tried, he shall receive.

The crown of life.

That's the reward much greater than the price paid, which

the Lord has promised out here to see that promise

to them who love him. If you truly love him,

you will truly keep his commandments. A man, Now, here's

where we want to be. I just want to set

the foundation with that. It says, let no man say

when he is tempted.

I am tempted of God.

God don't tempt us, for God cannot. It is say

God will not. It is say God can't try.

Now it said God cannot be tempted with evil, neither

tempts he any man. Are you with me? But every man?

This is where you got to get Every man.

Is tempted when he is drawn away of his own

loss and enticed.

Then after that happens, when lust has conceived, it brings

forth sin. What does it mean when a woman conceives

what is she doing?

She's getting pregnant and then she gotta bring forth that

baby so that temptation wantsn't conceived. Then that baby gonna

be born, that baby that you attempted with. Then when

lust has conceived, it brings forth.

Sin, and sin when it is finished, brings forth death.

See this ain't talking about you falling out dead and

being buried in the grave.

Okay, it when it's finished, it brings forth death. What

is the death? Spiritual death?

Because sin separates man from God?

Are you with me? Spiritual death has told you? That's

what happened at him.

He died of physical and he died of spiritual death

because he was disconnected from God.

And he died of physical death.

Because as least it probably knows, fifty thousand body sells

in your body died daily.

So what does that mean your body is deteriorated.

You must have a whole lot of them, because you're

living to be fifty sixty years old and even twenty

something and times that time. Fifty daily It's a lot

of them died.

It's a lot of them died. So James teaches us

that this is what happened to Eve in Eden.

The serpent asked a woman an almost rhetorical question, was

yourtorical havel?

God said? You could just see him? Had God said?

Had God and you just look loot expressions on his face?

Has God said, just sitting there looking at you innocent?

Has God said that you should sure have died? Wait

a minute, now, God said you shall not eat of

the every tree of the garden. That's what he said.

He said, Hey, God said that you shall not eat

You sure about that? Now he's testing your memory and

he's testing your obedience towards God. He's testing your mind frame.

Has God really said that you should not eat of

every every tree of the garden? Every tree?

You should not eat of every tree of the garden.

Had God said that you should not eat of every

tree of the garden? But obviously if he said that,

the devil he knew what God had said. He knew

that they were permitted to eat of every tree.

In the garden except one.

He knew that, you see, his intent was the plant

a seed of doubt that's what he's trying to do.

That's how people get you sure you want to eat

the rest of that?

You got one little bite left on your sandwich, You

got a little bit of your drink left you sure

you won't drink the rest of that? You sure you

needed five dollars for the month because I needed five dollars.

They trying to make you doubt whether or not you.

Need your money out of your last bite of your savage.

So he was trying to He was trying to create

some doubt in Eve when he says, had God said

you should not eat?

Eat of every tree of the goden?

So he was trying to plant a seed of doubt

concerning the goodness of.

God in Eve's mind.

But here was a woman, a woman. A whole lot

of women say this, but it ain't true. But it's

true for this woman. It could be true for them,

because they might not want to announce. But here was

a woman with everything a human could desire, but Satan

fed her a big life. She had everything she could desire,

but he fed her life of deception.

He said, you should not die. That's what he told her.

The reason God told you not to eat of the

tree of that he knows that if you ate it,

you would know good and evil. You would be like God.

So the woman began to look at the tree again

in a different way.

She'd begin to look at it different. Now, you know

how people are put doubt in you about something you

won't because they don't want you to have it because

you'll have more than they got. And you ain't even

thinking about having more than they got. You just thinking

about having something because you just want something because you

know you earned it and you deserve it. But they'll

try to talk you out of it, put doubt in

your mind. You don't really need that, You don't need that,

You don't need to see if something happened to it,

then what you're gonna do? Can you afford it? You

don't need that, You really don't need that. You don't

need that dress. Girl, You got ten dresses at home,

but you ain't got nothing to look like that. You

got ten of them at home. You don't need that

because they and then have you ever seen people do that?

And then you look up and they got They told

you what you didn't need.

So this woman began to look at this tree different

because of the doubt that the enemy was putting in

her head.

She discovered, well, she should already know. She discovered three

things about that tree.

After the devil got through talking to her, she discovered

three things.

One she noted that the fruit on the tree was

good for food. Hey, you just now noticed that you

already knew that.

But then you're looking a little harder, and you done

tricked your own self in believing that you didn't know that.

At first, Come on, somebody, it was good for food.

Then she saw that it was delightful to look at.

But it was the third appeal that was tempted that

Satan told her that the fruit would make one wise.

She already had the knowledge and wisdom of God. She

was made out of his likeness. How much wisdom. She had.

Everything she could desire, She had all of God's wisdom.

She was falliable, she was perfect.

Py gonna make you wiser than God, That's what he

really was trying to say. She saw that last thing,

that the fruit would make one wise, So she ate

the fruit and then shared.

It with at him.

You see, most of the time we seldomly want to

sin all by I said, want somebody else join in?

We don't want to sin alone. Now, come on, come on,

smoke this joint with me. Come on, it ain't gonna

hurt you. Just take a little toke. You ain't got talked.

Some people tell you just take a little drink.

You ain't got drink no more. Just take a little drink.

Just test, just taste it, Just taste it. Once you

taste it, I'm done. They want you to join in

by any means necessary. They don't want you drink a

whole body. If you don't want to drink a whole bottle.

Just taste it. I want you in with me, just

a little token. You know.

They are They don't. They don't usually sin alone. When

when we sin, it usually involves other people. But what

was this fruit that folks keep lying about? You know

what the fruit was? Does anybody know.

What the fruit was? Don't say an apple either, don't

say a fig either. Say I don't know because I

don't know. Know why I don't know what.

You don't know because the Bible don't tell you. See,

if you read Deuteronomy thirty twenty nine to thirty, he said,

the secret things belong to God, and there are things

that God are just Periphrad, And there are things that

let me just turn to it. I don't want to

prefer it. I don't want to say it just like

God said it. Do do rummy twenty nine.

Thirty nor twenty nine and twenty Now I'm sorry.

Twenty nine twenty nine ain't no thirty. He says, the

secret things belonging.

To the Lord, our God.

But those things which I revealed belonging to us and

to our children forever forever.

That we may do all that the words of this law.

See that some things God didn't just tell us because

they belonged to him.

So tradition, our customary day.

The thought of man's doctrine came about because the similarity

of two words.

And they want to run around telling you it was

an apple.

I talked to a brother that been talked to this

gospel and been taught it right, and I don't know

how he got vamboozom. He called me on the phone

a couple of weeks ago talking about it was an apple.

I said, man, if you don't get off my phone,

so I hurt your ear drum by slamming it down.

The Bible didn't tell us there was no apple.

So the woman was deceived and tempted and gave to

her husband, who immediately, did y'all hear the words, immediately

rebelled against God.

So guess what happened right there? Watch this? You saved

and you sanctified. You feel what the holy goes with

a mighty burning fire. And here comes this heazing. You

have been single, sister Lane for a long time. Come

this sign, hunker for man. He ain't saved. He's corheersing you.

He's filling you up with words, he's buying.

You stuff take, trying to get you to the vantaged point.

He gets you to the vantashed point. You saved. Now

he comes over eleven o'clock at night with an excuse.

I just needed somebody to talk to. I'm feeling down.

You know what happened before you know it, I just

need somebody to hold me. And you're holding it. He's

holding you, you holding him. He started crashing. You start

crashing because you want him to calm down. Then he

foundly raises up and he he just kissed you on

the neck.

Then he kiss you on the jaw, and then he

kiss you in the mouth, and then before you know it,

you're hula hooping.

So what just happened. I'm gonna tell you what happened.

Two souls. He got a two for one. The devil

got a two for one.

Right there. Two now rebelled against God.

See when Eve was deceived and took from the fruit

and did eat, and she gave the atom, he a troice.

He shouldn't have did it. Only one soul was lost

at that point.

But the enemy got two for one, and he too

sinned against God. So now.

That they both have rebelled against God, now he got

two for one. And now that comes and accountability. Now

that comes accountability. Now there comes accountability. You can't sin

without accountability, because your sin will find you out. Y'all've

heard your sin will find you out right, But did

y'all know that was scriptures. Let's turn the numbers, chapter

thirty two.

And verse.

Twenty. They started twenty two. It's gonna hit us in

twenty three. But let's start at thirty twenty two, thirty

two and twenty two. Yall ready, yall ready, amen. Twenty

two says, and the Lord be subdued before.

The Lord, and the land, and the land.

Be subdued before the Lord. Then afterward you shall return

and be guiltless before the Lord and before Israel, and

this land shall be your possession before the Lord. But

if you will not do so, behold you have sinned

against the Lord. And be sure your sin will find

you out.

Is a scripture? Did God said? Did I make it up?

God said it you'll sin, We'll find you out.

Because there is no sin. There is no such thing

as a secret sin. People tell you that, yeah, your

secret sins.

You ain't got those secret sins because you know, because

you know why. It ain't a secret because you know it.

You know why. Also, it's not a sin because God

knows it.

And Adam and evalated the know no own will of God.

So now comes God as he always did in the

cool of the day. But when they heard God coming

this time, I said, this time. They hear him come

many times there wasn't no problem. But when they heard

him coming this time they hid from God. Why because

sin separates us from God and our best selves, our

best selves, it separates from it separate rates us from

others as well. Sin ruptures our relationships with God definitely

and with other people, and it.

Cuts us off from God.

Sin makes us uncomfortable in the temple of God at

prayer and in worship, we feel strange in God's presence.

You don't watch people. I can see.

Everybody from my prayer when the church not being a

church and is full, and I'll be going forth in

the word.

They uncomfortable. He's squirming in their seat.

They know they've been sinning all week and the Word

going forth hitting them like thunder, and they squirming in

the If they ain't squirming, they going straight to Hell

because they ain't got no God sins at all. They

just they just got a wall up.

But they squirming in their seat and tell Lord, thank you,

I thank you, Lord, thank you, thank you. Give him

some praise. See, they got this look on their face.

They're thinking about all the crap they've been doing. Seeing

make you.

Uncomfortable in God's house, saying make you uncomfortable in the.

Presence of God's people. If people are amongst you and

they ain't uncomfortable, you better check yourself. Sining is not

comfortable in the presence of God. And if the God

being you and.

People are comfortable in your presence, comfortable cussing, comfortable doing it.

I got people that work for me, and they'll say

they'll say a word of profanityes I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Miss Thomas.

I it just came out like that man's that's because

they see and know the God in me, don't. They

don't go for that. They don't get it twisted. I

go to customers out there, they cussing. It worked, come

out they mouth, and then you know what I do.

My wife told me, oh, yeah, do that. I said, yeah,

I do that all the time because I'm tired of hearing.

I said, well, I tell them my name is Charles.

And then when they get doing all their cussing and

I see they won't stop, I said, well, I'm actually

Pastor Charles.

They said, oh, oh, I'm sorry. I ain't me. Oh Lord,

I mean cussing. I said, don't be sorry. I understand.

I take the respect. But God heard you. That's what

I tell them. God heard you. Don't put me above God.

I tell that, don't put me above God. I said,

God heard you. Now I ain't wanna keep hearing that mess.

But God heard you. He the one you got to

repent to.

You can apologize to me, but you need to repent

to Him. So God, as he always did with them

and with us, he walks with us. But when we do,

like even Adam and he did, he separates from us.

And if you really into him, you can feel the separation.

Sometimes that don't get in twisted though. Sometimes that loneliness

don't mean he gone.

And it's at that time.

Where you really check yourself. And said, why am I

feeling the presence of God? And he said, well, I've

been doing everything God told me to.

He's there. But if you check yourself.

And you found well, I did cut something such out

and I did tell what's the name of golda heal?

And I was mad it was that's why, No, he

ain't He ain't there. This is a lonely feeling because

he ain't there. Because sin makes sense. If sin is

not uncomfortable in your presence, there's something wrong. You better

check yourself. Hey, man, check yourself. That's why Adam and

Eve tried to hide from God. They were uncomfortable. This

was the second This, this emotion that they felt was

one of the second emotions recorded in the Bible, fear

due to sin, because they never had fear before, because

they never had sin before.

So God confronted at him and Adam blamed the woman.

See when God confronted at him. Because I'm telling you,

when you're seeing God gonna confront you, whether you're listening

to it or not, he confronts you. The Holy Spirit

is going to confront you before even after, because you

might not.

Hear him before because you're really at a rage. But

he gonna confront you after. If you really been with

God and you got a connection.

When you sin, he's gonna confront you. And when He

confronts you, that's what he did. He confronted at.

Him about his sin. When God confronts you, you must

confess it.

When God confronts you with the sin, you must confess

at that time and not blame.

Confess, not blame, not make excuses. I slapped him because

they slapped me. Lord, I cussed her out. She called

me a bee, so I called her one. No, you

confess it afterwards. That's not what Adam and he did.

Adam was confronted with the sin by God, and so

was he. Neither one of them confessed it. They both blamed.

They blamed the woman, blamed the serpent. Adam blamed the woman.

He didn't try. He did not only blame the woman,

and then she did. Not only blame the serpent, but

both of them blame God. That's why I'm telling you today,

the innocence of God and the guilt of man.

You can't blame God.

And the serpent when he was asked, but he wasn't

ask But God knew what happened, so he didn't even

ask the serpent because he knew who the deceiver was.

So neither Adam or Eve, neither one of them took

responsibility for the sin and the rebellion against God. Neither

one of them took responsibility for their sins.

They just blamed not just who and what, but God,

as some people still do today. God, if you this God,

while you do that, God, why you allow that to happen?

Blaming God? They blaming God? They still blame in God today,

that said Adam Nature still blaming God. Today.

I said, some have some head and some have the haves,

still blaming God.

The head the has no God. And know not to.

Blame God, because God will show them this is what

your problem is. So now here comes judgment, because it

comes after sin.

First the serpent. Enmity was put between the serpent and humanity.

He is now the enemy. So now we are in

conflict with an enemy. We don't have an enemy at first,

but because of the fall of man, we got enemy.

The devil was.

Always our enemy, but he wasn't an enemy, you understand

I'm saying. But when man failed, they ain't got enemy

in the world, and his name is Satan. Then the

woman cursed.

Would be pre pain would be multiplied, pain both in

childbirth and in.

Then I'm dominion over her by her husband. Then comes

the man.

God cursed the man by striking the very nerve of

man's existence.

What was that his work? His work?

Now, don't get it wrong, but I want you to

understand that work is not a curse because in the

beginning God placed man in the garden to cultivate.

And curate. That's called work.

Work was given to man before the fall. But now

he will strain in the work that he has now.

Act, he didn't have.

To sweat over the work before. Now he got the

sweat over the work that he does. See, the curse

was placed up on the ground. Verse seventeen tells us

that the result of the curse is twelve and thorns

and thistles is a result of the curse because you

didn't have that in the garden. And when he was out,

kicked out of the garden, now he got to deal

with that, and the animals were cursed. Everything on earth

was cursed when Adam did what he did.

But the ultimate curse.

Was from dust you are, and to dust you shall return.

Because we have to understand.

Prior to the fall, there was no mention of death,

as I told you, but there was a clear promise

of eternal life. That's what was in the beginning, a

clear promise of eternal life.

But after the fall death.

Because one of the trees in the garden was a

tree of life.

Here's what God's mercy kicks in.

But even after what they did in rebelling against God,

he still showed his mercy to them.

He drove them first out of the garden. That was mercy.

Why he drove them out of the garden, that was mercy.

That was an act of mercy from God for the

both of their wives, so that they would not eat

of the tree of life and lived forever in a

dying world, because it would be hell on earth to

live in a degenerating body forever.

But God gave hope still through Adam.

When you're reading verses twenty and twenty one, where he says,

and Adam called his wife name Eve, because she was

the mother of all living.

So he gave life.

And to Adam also and to his wife did the

Lord God make coats of skins and clothe them. So

there was the grace and mercy of God. See what

he called woman Eve, which means the mother of all living.

So he did not destroy all of mankind. But every

time bird comes from a woman's a sign that of

life for humanity. So every time a child is born,

it is one more bit of evidence that God has

not given up on mankind, because he allows life to

keep coming. And the other hope was in verse fifteen.

It promised that through a woman.

The defeat of evil would eventually come, and so it did.

Through marry came Jesus Christ, the hope of glory and

the defeat of evil and triumph triumph of good. So

through Jesus Christ the hope of glory.

Which is the hope that we look to, that we

can live eternally again with God.

Amen.

So in conclusion, we cannot return to Eton, but we

can enter the Kingdom of God. The new eaton described

in Revelations, chapter twenty one, as a paradise regained just

as surely as Adam and Eve once lived in the

paradise of God and in daily communion with Him.

One day, one day, we don't know when, but one.

Day you and I by fate, in the Lord Jesus

Christ and the cross we were in, in the presence

of God, to enjoy his fellowship forever. If if now

we turn from sin, Amen, if we turn, it's a condition.

We can lay with him. We can, we can roll

with or walk in the cool of the day with him.

If we turn from sin, we can. And this is

his story and he's sticking to it.

Amen, you God a hand clever praise. Amen.

Amen, God has done all he's gonna do. God said,

is I turn? It's our turn.

Mhm
