The Adam Syndrome

 

”The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Ever since the beginning of mankind when God created man and woman people messed up and consequently there is rampant sin today one of the biggest is gender changing. Man was created and woman was created that’s it. Pretty simple. 

Then there is the blaming others for something you don’t want to be responsible for which also is known as deception and lies. Bingo,  Satan’s big deal to intervene and make Eve believe she wouldn’t die for eating the fruit so she consumed it and gave some to Adam and bingo again. God appears, “what have you done Adam” and his response which I like to call the Adam Syndrome was to shift the blame to Eve. “That woman you gave me….” Still happens today.

Anyway each person needs to be honest in conversations, be aware of when Satan is trying to pull one over on you too. Walk in love and tell the devil to shut up, hands off, you aren’t going to listen to him. 

PRAYER: As I go into a new year it is a perfect time to decide I am not going to allow the enemy to trick me. Help me Lord see good and evil and help me not stumble into a pit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Fallen World

"I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

Ever since the beginning of creation and the sin of Adam and Eve we have lived in a fallen, imperfect, sinful world. It wouldn't have been,  as God did not intend that, but now sin is rampant. The enemy, Satan, is alive and well and operating overtime on planet Earth deceiving and lying to Christians and non Christians alike. Many do not even acknowledge Him and even realize they are captivated in his spell. 

Don't lose heart because we still have a beautiful Earth and God is still God. He gave us so much to enjoy. Though problems and tests will occur, it is how a person handles these situations that shows if they are walking in the Spirit or not. A consequence of falling away is disobedience to God. Deep down you know what is right but you do something wrong anyway. Some even change scripture to suit their needs or 'the times'. 

The way to know God and be aware of situations that could cause you to fall is to stay grounded in the word of God. That is where truth is found and that is where you learn how much Jesus loves you. 

PRAYER: Lord I do not want to step foot in the enemies camp. I am aware of Satan's schemes to get me to fall away from you. I choose to not make excuses why I can not study your word daily. Help me stay on track and say no to distractions. In Jesus' name. Amen.
