RESTORATION - 20 May 2019 (The Fountain of Living Waters) by Celia Joy Martins
So many people (of which I was once part of also) - God-fearing people - are TRAPPED - CHAINED - in BONDAGE - in a NETWORK of DECEPTION - a deception that came upon mankind right in the beginning when Adam and Eve SINNED in the *Garden of Yahweh God by BEING DISOBEDIENT to the COMMANDS of YAHWEH their YAH.
(*Gen. 2:8 "And Yahweh planted a GARDEN toward the EAST, in Eden [delight]; and THERE He PUT the MAN WHOM HE had FORMED ...")
Deut. 11:13 "So IF you CAREFULLY OBEY the COMMANDMENTS ... and SERVE YAH with ALL your HEART and with ALL your SOUL ..."
John 14:15 "If you LOVE Me, KEEP My COMMANDS"
John 15:10 "IF you KEEP My COMMANDMENTS, you will REMAIN IN My LOVE, just as I have KEPT My Father's COMMANDS and REMAIN in His LOVE."
DISOBEDIENCE:
Right there in the Garden of Delight (Eden), the SERPENT STEPPED in DECEIVING EVE into THINKING that SHE COULD BECOME just LIKE her CREATOR, and she was DISOBEDIENT, and she DID what SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE and ALSO GAVE to ADAM, and he ALSO was DISOBEDIENT and DID what HE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE.
The RESULT was CATASTOPHIC - CONSEQUENCES for DISOBEDIENCE:
Adam and Eve's DISOBEDIENCE had HUGE CONSEQUENCES.
1. The SIN of DISOBEDIENCE DROVE THEM from the PRESENCE of YAHWEH, their heavenly Father:
In Gen. 3:10 we receive a picture of the INTIMATE (COVENANT) RELATIONSHIP Adam (and Eve) had with YAH (God) - that was DAMAGED with SIN, when Adam said "... I heard Your voice in the garden ... and I HID myself"
HEAVENLY DIVINE CLOTHES:
It is clear that the PRESENCE of YAHWEH God, was a HEAVENLY and DIVINE "COVERING" that were UPON them - it CLOTHED them and they did not have the need for physical clothes.
Their heavenly CLOTHES must have been marvelous, indescribable in beauty, and they LOST it with being DISOBEDIENT.
2. FEAR SETTLED on THEM:
With them SINNING - FEAR ENCIRCLED them - then SETTLED UPON them.
They were AFRAID for the VERY PRESENCE of YAHWEH God that CLOTHED them - WAS GONE. They were NAKED and ALONE WITHOUT Him. (Gen. 3:10 "... I heard Your voice in the garden, and I WAS AFRAID ... and I HID myself).
3. THEY WERE DRIVEN from their HOME:
Gen. 3:24 "So Yahweh DROVE OUT the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden ... and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life."
4. PERSONAL CONSEQUENCES for the SIN of EVE: (Gen. 3:16)
a. SORROW and PAIN in CHILDBIRTH
b. A DESIRE for her HUSBAND instead of a DESIRE for YAHWEH God.
c. Because of her DESIRE for her HUSBAND, the HUSBAND shall RULE OVER her.
5. PERSONAL CONSEQUENCES for the SIN of ADAM: (Gen. 3:17-19)
a. CURSED is the GROUND.
b. TOIL (LABOR) and HARSHIP in WORKING the GROUND for THORNS and THISTLES it shall BRING FORTH.
d. In the SWEAT of your FACE you shall EAT BREAD till you RETURN to the GROUND. For DUST are YOU and to DUST you SHALL RETURN.
RELATIONSHIP has to BE RESTORED:
Right in the very beginning with man (Adam and Eve) LIVING in the GARDEN of YAHWEH God, SATAN SUCESSFULLY BROUGHT SEPARATION between ADAM and EVE and YAHWEH - and RUINED the INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP YAHWEH GOD had with MANKIND - THIS IS WHAT HAS TO BE RESTORED.
DISOBEDIENCE STILL BRINGS SEPARATION:
Our DISOBEDIENCE STILL BRINGS SEPARATION - is A LOCKED DOOR between US AND our FATHER in heaven. This is what Yahshua came to RECTIFY ... HE CAME to DESTROY the WORKS of the DEVIL (1 John 3:8).
1 John 3:8 "For he who commits sin is of the DEVIL and takes his CHARACTER from the EVIL ONE, for the DEVIL SINNED and VIOLATED the DIVINE LAW from the BEGINNING. For THIS REASON the SON of YAH (God) was MANIFESTED, that HE might DESTROY, LOOSEN and DISSOLVE, the WORKS of the DEVIL." (AMPC).
Father, You say in Your Word, that those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the SHADOW of the ALMIGHTY. (Ps. 91:1). You say, "I WILL NEVER FAIL you. I will NEVER ABANDON you." (Heb. 13:5). O Abba, I pray that ALL who PROFESS Your NAME - will accept that this is only possible if we live in a COVENANT INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP with You - a RELATIONSHIP founded on MESSIAH ... a RELATIONSHIP of LOVE and in OBEDIENCE ... OBEDIENCE to YOUR WORD and YOUR COMMANDS. Help us Father to DO JUST THAT. In the wonderful, GLORIOUS NAME of YOUR SON, and through the HOLY SPIRIT of YAHSHUA our MESSIAH. Amen.
