A New Study For A New Year: Personalities

Genesis 3:8-24

8 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 from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

The King James Version

________________________

We're switching back to Eve this morning, and we see her doing the exact same thing Adam did: Deflecting the Blame. She blames the Serpent, essentially saying, in her best Flip Wilson voice:

"The Devil Made Me Do It!"

Among the Bedtime Stories Mom used to tell me, the Story of Adam & Eve was very puzzling to me. (I was MORE puzzled by "Rumplestilskin" and thought that the Princess had cheated! I remember arguing that point with Mom. That's what she gets for telling such a GRIMM Fairytale!)

I also argued over Adam & Eve. Why did God even create a serpent? Why was it allowed in the garden in the First Place? Who put that Tree there? Why was the Knowledge of Good and Evil a Bad Thing? And so on. Poor Mom!

Some time ago, when going through the Gospel of Matthew, we "camped out" on the Lord's Prayer. When we got to the Line "Lead us Not Into Temptation," my thoughts went to this direction:

The 7th Petition in the Lord's Prayer is very closely related to the 6th. It's the conjunction "but" that ties them together.

"Lead us not into temptation, BUT deliver us from evil"

It is one sentence, with two requests. Some translations, like the NIV, say "Deliver us from the evil one." That is powerful, because it gives a face to evil, and personifies it. We call that evil personage "Satan" or "The Devil". The name "Satan" comes from the Aramaic "Shaitan", meaning "The Adversary". "The Adversary is the enemy of God, and, by extension, the enemy of All Creation.

The Adversary is also known as "The Accuser of the Brethren". This personification has a big role in the Book of Job, as Satan accuses Job again and again, and then delegates Job's alleged friends to keep on accusing Job right up until God intervenes and delivers Job from all his accusers.

The way God delivers Job may seem odd to us at first glance. Instead of defending Job against all of his adversaries, God demonstrates His Omnipotence. the accusers shrink away, and even Job is chastised. The chastening, though, is good, because it causes Job to be so awed by God's Perfection and Glory that he can't find it in himself to complain about anything. God then restores Job to his former health, wealth, and position, but it is an act of pure Grace on God's part.

When we pray the Lord's Prayer, we are asking to be delivered from the hands of the evil one without being led into temptation. That's a tall order. However, we can't grow without being "tested". Remember, "temptation" and "testing" are two different things. Job was being tested. His alleged friends were doing the bidding of the adversary by tempting Job to lose faith and curse God (Job's wife was the worst offender on that count!). Job protested his innocence, and questioned God, but he didn't cross the line into sin. While we face constant testing as we mature in our relationship with The Almighty, it's OK to pray that we don't fall into temptation. It's also appropriate to pray for deliverance from evil.

We know that the adversary prowls around like a hungry lion, just looking for those he can devour. His favorite hunting ground is our minds, and his favorite weapon is Accusation. As we go through the testing of life we learn the difference between the Conviction of the Holy Spirit, and the Accusation of the evil one. "Conviction" is when the Holy Spirit touches our conscience and instructs us that something is wrong. He shows us the sin, and desires our repentance. If restitution is required, the Holy Spirit helps us with that too. The important thing is that Conviction has a Solution.

Accusation that comes from the evil one is a whole different matter. Like Job's alleged friends, the accuser offers no remedy, no solution, no forgiveness. It's just accuse, accuse, accuse. The accusations of Job's alleged friends go on for more than THIRTY Chapters in the Bible. Then another "friend" comes along (a youth) and starts accusing Job's friends (and Job too while he's at it). Finally, The LORD intervenes.

The more we are tested, the more we start to recognize the different voices before it gets totally out of hand.

And so we pray:

...Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil."

Years ago, there was a Computer Game called "SIMS". It was all the rage with my young students. They were able to create whole worlds, neighborhoods, homes, and the people in them. The only problem was that the simulated people in their simulated environment had no free will. They could only act as the Gamer directed. I imagine that got very boring after a while. Because the SIMS People had no Free Will, or even the capacity to defy their creator, they were just robots. And that's what they would always be. They would never develop real PERSONALITIES.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

10 Rules for Positive Communication

[DarthVader]

Amen!!! <>< (NOTE:We must pray this daily from here on out. Getting obvious now!)

Psalm 91

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.

Amen and praying with Solomon: “Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel according to all that he promised; not one word has failed of all his good promise, which he spoke through his servant Moses.The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our ancestors; may he not leave us or abandon us, but incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our ancestors. Let these words of mine, with which I pleaded before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God day and night, and may he maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as each day requires;so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God; there is no other. Therefore devote yourselves completely to the Lord our God, walking in his statutes and keeping his commandments, as at this day.” (1 Kings 8)
