No, 17 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.480 when you really get into a desperate place with God, 18 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:16.400 you just start going help. I need you now, Please 19 00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:26.760 help me today. The series, the missing piece was birth 20 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:34.200 from my own journey to find the peace that God 21 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:39.519 had given us through his son Ya Shuah. He makes 22 00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:41.760 this plane. This is not something we have to search for. 23 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:49.040 It is not inconspicuous. He is absolutely blatant with the 24 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.159 way that he wants us. 25 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.319 To have this peace. 26 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.239 The Gospel according to John chapter number fourteen, verse number 27 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.439 twenty seven, and the Tree of Life version of the Bible, 28 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:06.760 Gesus speaks these words, Shalom, I leave you, should my 29 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:12.159 shalom I give you get this, but not as the 30 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.840 world gives, which means that the. 31 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:21.879 World does have a version of peace. Before we think. 32 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.520 That the enemy doesn't have a counterfeit to anything that 33 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.759 God gives. The enemy does have a version of peace, 34 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:33.960 but it is temporary. What your shoe is saying here 35 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:37.680 is that I am leaving you a shalom that is eternal. 36 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.960 I am leaving you a shalom that is going to last. 37 00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.879 It will not be contingent upon the day or how 38 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.639 you feel how much money is in your bank account. Shaloam, 39 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:52.439 I leave you my shalom I give to you, but 40 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.400 not as the world gives. Then he says this, do 41 00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:01.319 not let your heart be troubled or afraid. 42 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:02.919 Now this is what got me. 43 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:08.520 There's no way that Jesus can make that last statement 44 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.960 if he means to think for us to think that 45 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.439 this peace has something to do with a feeling. 46 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.159 It has nothing to do with chill. 47 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:25.159 Bumps or Pastor Rowe sung your favorite song, or if 48 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.560 the air conditioning settings are just right, or if you 49 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.439 have enough money in the bank account, or if the 50 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.719 person that you like likes you back, or if you 51 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.159 got the promotion on the job, or if you have 52 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.719 a job at all. He says, let not your heart 53 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:44.719 be troubled or afraid. What he means then, is that 54 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:48.639 I'm giving you something and leaving you something that you 55 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:50.759 are going to need on. 56 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.240 Your worst day. 57 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.439 Out of all the things that your shore could have 58 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:02.120 left us, he leaves us peace. How Come it's not wisdom. 59 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.639 How Come it's not revelation we need that? How Come 60 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:10.960 he doesn't leave us a great heaping deposit of resources 61 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.039 out of all the things he could have left us, 62 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.000 He said, here's the thing you're gonna need most when 63 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.160 I leave. You're going to need peace. What's going to 64 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.639 literally make you stand out from all of the other 65 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.360 people that you're living with in your present day is 66 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.839 that you are going to be calm while they are 67 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:35.759 crashing out. Y'all are going to be going through the 68 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:40.120 same exact experience, but you're going to be having different 69 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.920 dispositions in the experience. So all of y'all could have 70 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.879 gotten laid off from the job. But while they're panicking, 71 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:54.279 you have peace. Everybody could have been going through relationship problems, 72 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.279 but while they are crying, you have peace. 73 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.240 The peace of God. 74 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.759 Passes all understanding and guards your heart in your mind. 75 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.639 Now, remember he left. 76 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.079 It for us, and he literally says, I give it 77 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:14.439 to you. 78 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:22.399 Then how did we lose it? And I'm talking about 79 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:24.600 like in the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty six. 80 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.720 Right now, there are so many people who are not 81 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:35.560 at peace. They have enough peace to get through the day, 82 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:44.800 but if traffic is too heavy, somehow they lose their peace. 83 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.360 They have enough peace to get through the day. 84 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:52.360 But if they decide to scroll through their timeline and 85 00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:56.560 seeing a post that bothers them, they lose their peace. 86 00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:59.600 They had a good day at work, as soon as 87 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.839 they walk in the door, they have somehow lost there. 88 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.240 Why is it? How is it it's so easy to lose? 89 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:09.959 How are we losing our peace? 90 00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:13.319 That quick over stuff that God is looking over the 91 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.399 balcony of heaven and going what is that? 92 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:20.720 I mean, can we just be honest for a moment. 93 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:25.879 We live in a very good country. 94 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:26.920 I mean. 95 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.519 Pastor Amberley just got back from the other side of 96 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:32.000 the world. 97 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:34.199 She was in Africa for a month. 98 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.319 There's some people on the continent of Africa going through 99 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:46.120 things that we have not experienced on our worst day. 100 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.560 I'm not trying to dismiss your experience by showing you 101 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.000 somebody on the other side of the world. I do 102 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:56.959 just want you to compare for a moment, what we 103 00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.879 call a bad day and what we're losing our peace over. 104 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.959 But I don't blame anyone. 105 00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:11.399 In this room, including myself, for the days that peace 106 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.519 is hard to grasp, because. 107 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.639 We are not the original ones that lost it. 108 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.160 Peace wasn't just lost when you lost your job, or 109 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.040 you got the divorce, or you got a bad doctor's notice, 110 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.000 or you found out that you had something foreign in 111 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.759 your body. It wasn't burst out of the disappointment that 112 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.839 you've had with a child, or a situation that's going 113 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.720 on at your job, the wrestlings that you're having, the 114 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.199 inner turmoil, the wrestle that you might be having with 115 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.720 God in this moment, still trying to hold onto your 116 00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:54.560 faith even though you are fighting disbelief on every side. 117 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:59.120 You didn't just lose it. You're not the first to 118 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.360 have to go search for it. No, this started way 119 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:03.920 before you. 120 00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:10.160 This started way before me. This goes all the way 121 00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:14.600 back to the book of Genesis. We lost this in 122 00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:19.360 the garden. Therefore, we have to go back to the 123 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:24.680 garden to figure out why we lost it in the 124 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.879 first place. If you're taking notes on this message, this 125 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:33.200 first message in this six week series is entitled What's. 126 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:38.159 Really going on? And I feel churchy today, So just. 127 00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.679 Look at your neighbor and just tell them what's really 128 00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:41.279 going on? 129 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:44.240 What's really going on? 130 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:49.120 I know there's seven introverts in here, like please God, No, 131 00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.840 I don't want to look at my neighbor. I don't 132 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:55.759 have a neighbor to my left or my rights. I 133 00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:00.320 sat in the back on purpose. Look at your other neighbor. 134 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.919 Look at your other neighbors, say other neighbor, thank you 135 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:11.519 for brushing your teeth that way when you say Hallelujah. 136 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.759 That does not torture me. 137 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:18.799 God, bless you. Thank you. Look at your other neighbor, 138 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:19.519 say other neighbor. 139 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:22.480 What's really going on? 140 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:25.879 That's the question we got to answer. 141 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:32.879 We have to answer the question of what's really going on. Genesis, 142 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:36.360 chapter number two, verse number twenty five is the crescendo 143 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:40.480 of God's creation he has spent six days creating the 144 00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.919 heavens and the earth. He has separated land from water, 145 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.759 he has separated light from darkness. He has separated air 146 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:55.320 and space. He has made galaxies and cosmos and terrain 147 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.519 and birds, and I mean, just a show off. God 148 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.440 is an absolute show off. When you look at his creation, 149 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:07.159 he's just showing off. His creative power was so magnanimous 150 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.679 that the stuff that he created, he just got bored 151 00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:12.399 and it just started looking ridiculous. 152 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:19.320 Have you seen an octopus? After all them beautiful. 153 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.120 Fish he made, he was just like, just put eight 154 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:25.440 legs on it and give it some tentacles and let 155 00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:26.720 it be able to squeeze. 156 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.159 Into a water bottle. I don't care. I'm just do 157 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:30.440 you know. 158 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.840 We're still finding stuff he created and looking at. 159 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:35.360 It and going what is this? 160 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:42.039 We still finding variations of frogs and monkeys and cats, 161 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.679 And if you go deep enough into the sea, you 162 00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:48.480 seeing stuff that's never seen light the first time you 163 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:48.759 put a. 164 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:50.399 Light on this, looking back at you like what are 165 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:56.480 you doing down here? And you're like, he. 166 00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:02.639 Made everything, and his crescendo was a man out of dirt. 167 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:06.840 The crescendo of his creation was to put the pull 168 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.919 man out of dirt and breathe into this man the 169 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:14.519 breadth of living life, and the man became a living soul. 170 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:19.039 He named everything that was on the earth at the time, 171 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:23.039 but he found no suitable help meet for himself. It 172 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:26.480 was God who said it is not good for this 173 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:32.759 man to be alone. It was not Adam's decision. It 174 00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:37.799 was not Adam's recognition. It was God's. God was the 175 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.639 one who said it is not good for this man 176 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.440 to be alone. Now there's a lot of people that 177 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:47.279 think that this is merely a marital statement, but it's 178 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.320 not just a marital statement. 179 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:51.399 It's a relational statement. 180 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:57.399 None of us were created to live life alone. I 181 00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:03.279 know you think you're a loner. I know you want 182 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.559 to be left alone. I know you think you need 183 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.120 to be left alone. But here's what happens to people 184 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:19.159 who are left alone. They go crazy. Do you know, 185 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.879 even in the prison system, where you're already locked down 186 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:25.759 for the rest of your life or for how many 187 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:28.440 years you have to serve, even if you're on lockdown 188 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:30.559 twenty three hours a day, they let you out for 189 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:34.080 an hour. But even in the prison system, if you 190 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.600 decide to do the worst thing of the worst already 191 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.080 in the prison system. They have another punishment for you, 192 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.720 and it's called solitary confinement, and they put you in 193 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:54.679 solitary confinement as the ultimate punishment because they know what happens. 194 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:55.080 When you're alone. 195 00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:01.360 At first, it seems tranquil, speaking as an introvert, I 196 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.000 love to be left alone. 197 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:05.919 I love quiet time. I love to be by myself. 198 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:12.919 But after a while, I need other people. Now you 199 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:14.759 might be thinking, yes, Tim, you need your wife, and 200 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:20.840 you need your kids. I need huber eats. You're thinking 201 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:22.360 two d this is very shallow. 202 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.440 I need other people. 203 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:29.000 Because I'm not leaving my house, so I need some 204 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:31.879 other people to help me stay in my house. 205 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:41.799 So please bring this burrito to my house.

Scripture says that he 210 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:04.759 removes a rib. Most Messianic Jewish believers say that he 211 00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:12.840 was torn in half, and from what remained he formed 212 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:18.559 the woman. And he presented the woman to the man, 213 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:22.879 and the man looked at the woman and said, finally, 214 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:27.399 that's what happens when a man finds the woman that 215 00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:31.320 he wants to be with for the rest of his Finally, girl, 216 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:36.480 where you been been out here naming horses. 217 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:39.759 And donkeys and. 218 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.519 Birds, roaches, mice? 219 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:45.000 Where was you? 220 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:50.440 Finally, this is bone of my bone, This is flesh 221 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.120 of my flesh. This is me outside of me, looking 222 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:56.799 back at me, talking to me about me. 223 00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:05.279 This is me. Genesis two twenty five says, Now. 224 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:10.799 Both of them were naked, the man and his wife, 225 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.200 and they were not. 226 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:15.159 A shame. 227 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:19.120 Let me tell you what peace looked like in the garden. 228 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:25.759 Peace looked like absolute wholeness. Peace looked like the absence 229 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:31.320 of shame. Peace looked like absolute content. We're not just 230 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:36.120 talking about how you feel on the inside. We're talking 231 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:39.519 about your entire environment being at peace. There was no 232 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:40.799 threat coming to you. 233 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:49.039 They were naked and they were not shamed. 234 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:55.240 I love how TV introduces Genesis chapter number three and 235 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:59.919 verse number one. But the serpent was shrewder than any 236 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.799 animal of the field that out of night lo he made. 237 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:10.320 So it said to the woman, Did God really say 238 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:13.600 you must not eat from all the trees of the garden? 239 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:21.240 Did he not really say? 240 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:24.039 The woman said to the serpent, of the fruit of 241 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:29.919 the trees, we may eat but of the fruits of 242 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:32.480 the tree which is in the middle of the garden. 243 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.480 God said, you must not eat of it, and you 244 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:43.200 must not touch it, or you will die. The serpent 245 00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:48.360 says to the woman, you most assurely won't die, for 246 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.960 God knows that when you eat of it the eyes 247 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:55.120 your eyes will be open, and you will be like God, 248 00:16:55.519 --> 00:17:01.039 knowing good and evil. A woman saw that the tree 249 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:05.359 was good for food, and that it was a thing 250 00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:08.720 of lust for the eyes, and that the tree was 251 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:12.319 desirable for imparting wisdom. So she took of his fruit, 252 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:14.839 and she ate. She also gave to her husband, who 253 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:19.279 was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of 254 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:21.960 both of them were open, and they knew that they 255 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:25.720 were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together and made 256 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:30.200 for themselves loin coverings. And they said, and they heard 257 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.240 the sound of adenai Eloheim going to and fro in 258 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:35.440 the garden in the wind of the day. So the 259 00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:37.920 man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of 260 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.440 adenai Eloheim in the midst of the tree of the garden. 261 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.759 Then adonai Eloheim called to the man and said to him, 262 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:53.359 where are you. Then he said, your sound, I heard 263 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:55.160 it in the garden, and I was afraid because I 264 00:17:55.200 --> 00:18:01.359 am naked. I hid myself And he said, who told you. 265 00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:05.759 That you were naked? 266 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.440 Have you eaten from the tree from which I commanded 267 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:13.519 you not to eat? Then the man said, the woman 268 00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:19.880 whom you gave to be with me, she gave me 269 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:24.599 of the tree, and I ate at Anielaheim said to 270 00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:28.200 the woman, what did you do? The woman said the 271 00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:37.720 serpent to save me, and I ate. I want you 272 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.759 to imagine for a moment that you have been experiencing 273 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.720 the incredible peace of God in such a way that 274 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:47.920 you can be completely naked. 275 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:52.599 And not even know you naked. This is the same 276 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.319 This is the same posture that babies have. 277 00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.359 Because babies are born in innocence, They are born without shame. 278 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.839 They have no idea what is right and wrong. 279 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.480 It's the closest thing to Eden that you can get 280 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.640 is when you birth the baby, and the first six, seven, eight, 281 00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:12.920 nine months, the first year, two years, they are living 282 00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:15.559 in what Eden was always supposed to be. 283 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:19.119 You can't get a baby to have shame. 284 00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:23.119 If you paid them, babies would just walk out in 285 00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:24.119 front of your company. 286 00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:33.480 Len Mama, Mama, I ma'ma hungry boy. 287 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:34.160 Put some clothes on. 288 00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:41.599 They don't know, and it's equal between the little boys 289 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:43.319 and the little girls. The little girls come out my back, 290 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:44.839 my back. 291 00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:49.519 Why they have no shame. 292 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:54.960 Now, imagine if you had that type of unashamnness as 293 00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:55.599 an adult. 294 00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:59.920 In the presence of God, there was no shame. 295 00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:03.599 They can look at each other's nekedness and behold the 296 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.039 beauty of it without even thinking. They had no foreign 297 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:15.359 thoughts in their mind. They were at complete peace. And 298 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:17.839 Satan hates peace. 299 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.759 Satan hates peace so much that he started to observe 300 00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:34.599 where Eve was going. He started to observe Eve's behavior. 301 00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:43.400 He noticed something before he said something. This is what 302 00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:46.759 the enemy does with all of us. He starts to 303 00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:48.519 study our behavioral patterns. 304 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:50.920 Ooh, they going over near that. 305 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:51.559 Tree a lot. 306 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:55.559 I wonder why they liked that tree so much. I 307 00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:57.480 wonder what I get. Ooh, that's the tree that he 308 00:20:57.599 --> 00:20:58.640 told him not to touch. 309 00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:00.440 She over there a lot. 310 00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:03.920 She's not touching it, she's not eating of it, but 311 00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:05.240 she sure is close. 312 00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:10.759 What is it about us that, even when we have 313 00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:13.200 all the peace, and even when God has blessed us 314 00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:15.680 with so much, we want the thing he told us? 315 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:20.480 We can't have anybody beside me, can admit that. 316 00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:23.160 That God has blessed me with a lot, and still 317 00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:25.920 there's something on the inside of me that wants to 318 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:27.839 go near the thing that he told me I. 319 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:31.319 Should not touch anybody beside me. 320 00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:34.240 Ever, being in that season of life where you got everything, 321 00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:35.240 if somebody would have ask. 322 00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:36.559 You, man, why are you over here by that tree? 323 00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:37.440 Don't you have enough? 324 00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.119 And you like, yeah, I do, then mang goals is hidden. 325 00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:46.599 I like the mangoals, and I like I like the apples, 326 00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:48.240 and and and and the pairs. 327 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:53.200 They're nice. I love me a plum. But this one movie. 328 00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:04.119 Eve never said anything out of her mouth to confirm 329 00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:05.960 the desire, but her body. 330 00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:10.559 Was telling on her. Her location was telling on her. 331 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.039 Even though she wasn't saying she wanted it, her body 332 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:21.039 was showing by proximity. There's something about this that I'm 333 00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:24.359 so intrigued by that even though I have all these 334 00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:27.799 other options, I've disregarded them because I. 335 00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:28.640 Want that one. 336 00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:35.920 So the enemy scripture says, who is the shrewdest of 337 00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:39.240 all the creatures that God had made? 338 00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:41.880 Comes out of nowhere? And here's the thing. 339 00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:44.160 If you go back to Genesis three to one. Here's 340 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:48.000 the thing that I don't like about Satan at all. 341 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:51.519 He's I know that he's a liar, he's the father 342 00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:52.119 of lies. 343 00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:55.079 I know he's a deceiver. He says, discord among the brethren. 344 00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.119 I know all of that. But I'm gonna tell you 345 00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:58.559 what else I don't like about this fool. 346 00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:06.839 He is rude, completely impolite, who starts off a conversation 347 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.240 like this. 348 00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:11.200 But the serpent was. 349 00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:14.079 Shrewder than any animal of the field that Ada nih 350 00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.559 Eloheem made. So he said to the woman, this is 351 00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:22.000 your first interaction with this woman. It is not Hello, 352 00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:24.759 how are you good to meet you? 353 00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:28.599 My name is?
