FATHER purposely limited HIMSELF on the earth so that man would have complete dominion on earth. This commitment to limitation is based on FATHER’S integrity to HIS Word and Intent.
Integrity means: wholeness; entireness; unbroken state; the entire, unimpaired state of anything; purity; genuine, unadulterated.
In the Garden, the serpent challenged the integrity of GOD’S Word and that deception encouraged Eve to question FATHER’S integrity which ultimately caused Adam to transfer dominion to the god of this world. Had they waited for FATHER to show up as HE always did, they could have gained clarity concerning such deception. Why were they so concerned about one tree when there were a multitude of trees in the Garden?
The limitation FATHER placed on HIMSELF allowed them to make a decision to hand over dominion which was theirs to give. FATHER was not included or in control of this transaction for HE would not have allowed it. Blame arose within Adam.
It is written in Genesis chapter 3:
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
8 And they heard the sound 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 among the trees of the garden.
9 Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”
12 Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
13 And the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
Blame is the act or expression of the mind which condemns what is supposed to be wrong. It deflects the accountability and responsibility to another party. Adam blamed both GOD and Eve for his action of eating the fruit. The doctrine of men proclaiming that GOD is in control of everything does the very same thing when bad things happen to good people. It is all about accountability and responsibility. The Truth will make you free of blame and finger pointing.
If you study Scripture and learn GOD’s Ways, you will no longer believe man’s doctrines in this area. Otherwise, you will remain less than fruitful in many areas of dominion we are intended to walk in. Don’t you realize that this is exactly what the adversary and his minions want to keep you from in your walk?
Satan could not get Adam and Eve to sin until he got them to question the Word of GOD. He had no power beforehand. Deception brought impatience in Adam as he did not wait for FATHER’S arrival to discuss what was suggested by the serpent.
It is written in Genesis chapter 2:
15 Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Could The Word been any plainer yet Eve entertained the question brought forth by deception as she allowed her eyes to take control of the situation. Adam did the same. He could have stopped the deception in its tracks but didn’t.
There was only one thing in the entire universe FATHER told them not to do, but they did it! They failed to focus on HIS Goodness and provision. People continue to challenge FATHER’S Integrity when they experience bad things and are unwilling to face their own accountability/responsibility to deal with the situation at hand. They subtly cast blame on FATHER in an attempt to deflect responsibility. Repent!
Since we have been given The Word, there is really no excuse in not exercising dominion to deal with adverse situations. I have had to repent for entertaining the subtle doctrines of men. FATHER’S great grace and mercy allowed me to see this subtle spirit of deception who often uses people superior mental superiority to misappropriate Scriptures to support their error. You cannot “out-argue” them. They use your ignorance of certain passages to win the argument against “choice”.
They themselves want to justify their lack of fruit in the area of dominion. They will try to mold your opinion to become compliant with theirs by diverting your attention away from full accountability and responsibility. Man’s self-centeredness is where they focus in order for you to accept their doctrine. In the most subtle manner, they promote sin and its acceptability.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 11:
2 You need to know that God’s passion is burning inside me for you, because, like a Loving father, I have pledged your hand in marriage to Christ, your true Bridegroom. I’ve also promised that I would present His fiancée to Him as a pure virgin Bride. 3 But now I’m afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s clever lies, your thoughts may be corrupted and you may lose your single-hearted devotion and pure Love for Christ. 4 For you seem to gladly tolerate anyone who comes to you preaching a pseudo-Jesus, not the Jesus we have preached. You have accepted a spirit and gospel that is false, rather than the Spirit and Gospel you once embraced. How tolerant you have become of these imposters!
We must no longer be tolerant of imposters. Once they have been identified, we are not to entertain their pseudo-gospel any longer. Eve could have immediately rejected deception but she didn’t. We should learn from her mistake. The more we focus on The Word, the less we can be misled. This is why we focus so much on being transformed by The Word and Its Integrity. It will separate the wise virgins from the unwise virgins. Focus on the simplicity of Christ and be His Bride.
