What we learned from studying Eve

What a wonderful time this morning in our Woman’s Study. Some things that can be gleaned from Studying Eve are:

GOD made male and female man, told them to be fruitful and multiply and gave them dominion over all of the animals or beast: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:26-28

GOD called the male and female man Adam: This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.Genesis 5:1-2

Adam named all the animals: And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. Genesis 2:19-20

The commandment not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was given to the man: And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Genesis 2:15-17

The man would have had to give the commandment to the woman as she was created after the commandment was given but knew of the commandment: And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. Genesis 2:21-22

The man called the female man woman: And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Genesis 2:23

The serpent is spoken of in comparison to the other animals or beast of the field and he is crafty, subtil, knowledgeable and skilled: Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? Genesis 3:1

     Strong’s breaks down what serpent is 1) dragon, serpent, sea monster.  a) dragon or dinosaur  b) sea or river monster           c) serpent, venomous snake                        www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H8577&t=KJV

 

 The last book of the bible Revelation speaks of the same serpent mentioned in the first book of the bible (Genesis) but advises us what type of serpent he is – the dragon- and makes distinction calling him “the old serpent”/”that ancient serpent” called the Devil and Satan: And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Revelation 12:9

Who named him the Devil and Satan?

The woman resisted the devil at first citing what she thought GOD had said: And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. Genesis 3:2-3

The serpent did not give up and leave the woman alone but persisted to connive and deceive: And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:4-5

After listening to the serpent again, the woman ate from the tree because she saw it was good for food, was pleasant to the eyes and to be desired to make one wise: And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. Genesis 3:6

They immediately knew good and evil: And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. Genesis 3:7

Instead of being happy to be in the presence of GOD they now knew shame and hid from GOD: 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. Genesis 3:8

When confronted by GOD the man and the woman played the blame game, he blaming her and she blaming Satan: And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 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? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 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. Genesis 3:9-13

Satan was cursed because he had deceived the woman into disobeying the command of GOD and she enticed her husband to disobey GOD as well. Also Satan (the serpent) is still compared to the other animals or beast of the field: 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: Genesis 3:14

 

Deep rooted hatred, hostility; unfriendly disposition, a state of opposition: enmity was put between the serpent called the Devil and Satan and his seed (offspring-children) and the woman and all of her seed (offspring-children-every person that would ever be born through child birth including Jesus, those who would obey the commandment of GOD under the old covenant and those who hold to and love Jesus as well as keep His commandments under the new covenant: 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. Genesis 3:15

And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 12:17

Eve was punished (not cursed) with painful labor in bringing forth children: 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. Genesis 3:16 

The EARTH was cursed because of Adam: 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; Genesis 3:17
 

Adam was punished (not cursed) to no longer have bliss in eating from the trees in the midst of the garden but to have to eat in sorrow from the ground all the days of his life, to no longer just dress and keep the garden but to have to work harder (laboring) plucking up the thorns and thistles, to eat the herb of the field, to eat bread in the sweat of his face and all mankind had to die: 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; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 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. Genesis 3:17(last part of 17)-19

Adam is the one who began to call the woman “Eve”: And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. Genesis 3:20

GOD still provided for them after they messed up as HE yet does for us today: Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. Genesis 3:21

Although the original intent of the tree of life, (which was in the garden and man had permission to eat from it) was to help man to live forever, disobedience resulted in us losing that privilege, having a death sentence in this life and man being driven out of the garden:  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: Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 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. Genesis 3:22-24

And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2:8-9

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Genesis 2:15-17

How many times do we get ourselves in trouble by talking with the enemy when we need to tell him get thee behind me Satan? How many times has Satan deceived us into doing something that we thought, felt or knew was wrong when we should have just resisted the devil so that he would flee from us? How many times have we tried to fight the enemy with the WORD but misquoted as Eve did because we got second hand information from somebody else instead of getting before the LORD in HIS WORD and seeing what HE has to say for HIMSELF? Yet in all of our failures GOD loves us and forgives us when we humble ourselves and repent. He still provides for us after we’ve messed up and because man came under a judgment of death GOD provided Himself a LAMB named Jesus so we could be reconciled back to GOD and have in the life to come, what was HIS original intention for man in the first place: eternal life.

Welcome and hello beautiful, precious and unique women. I hope this message reaches you in good spirits and that you take this encouragement with you as you go throughout the rest of your day: Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 1 John 3:1-3

What manner of love hath the Father bestowed upon us beginning with Adam that man/woman should be called Sons and Daughters of GOD.

And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,…..Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God. Luke 3:23-24…37-38

And even when man (Adam-the son of GOD) sinned or messed up GOD purposed, planned and made provision to bring man back into son ship through the death and resurrection of HIS only begotten Son, Jesus of Nazareth.

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12-13

And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Corinthians 6:18

LORD I pray that we’ll see being sons/daughters of YOU LORD GOD Most High as a privilege and honor and live worthy of this blessing. May we be obedient to the WORD written in Philippians 2:14-16: Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. In the name of Jesus the SON of the Living GOD. Amen.

FYI…The WORD in a number of places refers to man as a male saying son or man but remember Genesis 1:27 says “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Also Genesis 5:1-2 says “This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.” So although GOD created both a male and a female HE called them both man and GOD called their name Adam. Adam is the one who called the female man (his wife) a “woman” in Genesis 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Also Adam is the one who began to call her “Eve” in Genesis 3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. So when we women read sons of GOD, in context, we can know that some of these verses are applicable to us as well (take heart♥).

As always GOD bless you, take care and make it a great day! P.S. If you haven't done so already please don't forget to like a comment, leave a comment to inspire others or give them something to have a little lol about and or invite someone else to join. Thanks in advance, BPUW (Beautiful Precious and Unique Woman).

Eat the WORD

Nicole Williams

Welcome and hello beautiful, precious and unique women. I hope this message reaches you in good spirits and that you take this encouragement with you as you go throughout the rest of your day: John 6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

Jesus is the WORD and the WORD is the bread of life which was broken for us, which we still break today. ALL of this bread is good from Genesis to Revelation, not one verse has gone bad, nor will it ever go rank. Some verses may not feel that good to us at times but if we keep reading it (IN CONTEXT) and studying it and obey it we will have joy and delight in our heart. Don’t take my word for it but let’s see what the WORD has to say about HIMSELF:

Matthew 26: 26-28 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst

John 6:48-51 I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Revelation 10:8 -11 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. (I have a little book called a bible and in it is the WORD - Jesus written, which I eat and share here with others and not me only but many do this to the glory of GOD.)

Psalm 119:103 How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! (Your WORDS-Jesus)

Ezekiel 3:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness. (The roll is the scroll or the WORD-Jesus written)

Father GOD may we be like the disciples when they said unto him (Jesus-the WORD), Lord, evermore give us this bread. (John 6:34)

And may the WORD written in Jeremiah 15:16 be true of us: Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts. In Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

As always GOD bless you, take care and make it a great day! P.S.

JESUS IS THE WORD RECAP

 Nicole Williams

JESUS IS THE WORD RECAP:

John 1:1-4 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

John 1:10 - He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

John 1:14 - ... And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

1 John 5:6-7 - This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (The WORD is JESUS!;-)!)

Colossians 1:15-20 - Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. (Everything was made by the WORD – JESUS!)

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (This is the WORD talking ya’ll)

Welcome and hello beautiful, precious and unique women. I hope this message reaches you in good spirits and that you take this encouragement with you as you go throughout the rest of your day: Ephesians 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. ASV

In other words the attack(s), what is, was or shall be to us a battle or war IS spiritual in nature and we cannot look at people but we have to identify the demonic force: demon or spiritual influence: spirit at work in the matter.

2 Corinthians 10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds, ASV

It’s all spiritual and we must fight spirits or demons with the Name of Jesus of Nazareth who is the Christ: the Anointed One, Messiah the Prince, Immanuel, the Saviour of men.

Luke 10:17-20 And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject unto us in thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. ASV

The seventy disciples of Jesus of Nazareth who is the Christ, reported back to HIM, “Lord, even the demons are subject unto us in thy name”. These seventy disciples: born again believers and followers of the Christ who is Jesus of Nazareth, were not the 12 Disciples who later became the 12 Apostles.

Jesus of Nazareth who is the Christ goes on to tell the seventy “Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy…”

Just as the seventy, all disciples: born again believers and followers of the Christ who is Jesus of Nazareth have that authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy AND demons and spirits are subject to us in the Name of Jesus of Nazareth who is the Christ. However, we must first get out of the flesh, recognize that we are dealing with, struggling with and wrestling with spirits and demons then fight with the weapons of our warfare which include FAITH, PRAYER, WITH FASTING IN SOME CASES, dealing with these host of wickedness in SPECIFIC MANNERS (which by the way are spelled out in the Bible), BUT IN EVERY EVENT WITH THE NAME OF JESUS OF NAZARETH!

LORD willing, at some point during the month of May, I am going to post a follow up to this with more information. Please be on the lookout for it and when you get it please share it and study it with your Bible because it is going to be full of the WORD of GOD and every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness. That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

As always GOD bless you, take care and make it a great day! P.S.
