49: Peace: You Already Have It
People often ask me to pray for peace for them. I used to go ahead and do what they asked even though it never felt quite right. Now I just won’t do it. I’m not going to pray that God send a believer peace. If a person is a Christian, he has all the peace…
50: The Curse on Satan
Because of the fall of man, creation was cursed. Death entered where there had only been life. Enmity entered where that had only been harmony. The first curse out of God’s mouth was on satan. So the Lord God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle,…
51: The Curse on Eve
To the woman He said: “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” (Genesis 3:16)1All the afflictions of women are wrapped up in that scripture, aren’t they? But hallelujah: Christ has redeemed us from…
52: The Curse on Adam
Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’: Cursed is the ground for your sake; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life. Both thorns and…
53: Dust
In Genesis 3:14 God told satan that he would eat dust all the days of his life. What is dust? In the Garden when God cursed Adam, He said this: “…for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.” (Genesis 3:19)1 Dust is the flesh of man, and the flesh of man is the…
54: The First Shedding of Blood
And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. Also for Adam and his wife the LORD God made tunics of skin, and clothed them. (Genesis 3:20-21)1When Adam and Eve sinned, they covered themselves with fig leaves. Man’s answer to sin was insufficient. Why? Because no blood was shed.…
55: Banished from the Garden
Then the LORD God said, ‘Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever’— therefore the LORD God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the…
56: Jesus Came Out To Take Us In
So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the Tree of Life. (Genesis 3:24)1The flaming sword of the cherubim at the entrance to the Garden of Eden was the sword of judgment.…
57: First Adam and Last Adam
So many believers, who at one time experienced joy unspeakable in their newfound freedom in Christ and who understood the unconditional love of God when they simply believed that Jesus died and rose again to forgive them of their sins, today are no longer living under those sunny blue skies basking in the joy of…
58: Do We Have Two Natures?
We do not have two natures. We are either in Adam with a sin nature, or we are in Christ and partakers of the divine nature.1 Think about what the word “nature” means. It has to do with origin and where we came from. Our nature speaks of who we are. The Spirit of God…
59: God Is Just
Romans 3:26 says that God is the “Just and the Justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” Today when a sinner comes to God and confesses that He is a sinner, the Bible does not say that God is “merciful and loving” to cleanse him from unrighteousness, it says, He is FAITHFUL and…
60: The Life of Jesus in Us
When we were born again, Jesus’ uncreated life came on the inside of us. It’s the life that God Himself lives by. It’s the life that cannot die. It’s the sin-free, curse-free life. Whether we walk in it or not, Jesus has given us His own glory and honor. When Jesus walked the earth, He…
