The First “Adam” Bomb

bomb explosionAdam’s failure to take dominion over that serpent, creeping creature, was a disobedience that caused a direct disconnect in relationship with the Father Creator, and it caused a breach in Adam and Eve’s domain.  That whisper from the tongue of that creeper, opened a can of stink and his bad breath filled the garden.  It opened the earth to a realm of opposition and contradiction to heaven’s order. This first “ADAM-BOMB” mushroomed over the garden and Adam and Eve were smothering in the smell of failure; so they hid and became fugitives in fig leaves.

What A Victim Sees

The answer to the question,  “If God be for us, who can be against us?” is self—self that is not confident that God is for us, self that builds a case of “WHY” God shouldn’t be for us, Face-in-Mirror1and self that is so captive that he can’t see God is bigger than his issues. That self won’t let God be for us.  So, then self can turn you into a victim instead of a son.  Victims don’t see themselves as God sees them.  The victim-mentality is an old, worn path all the way back to the Garden.  The first question God ever asked a man was, “Where are you?” That was not because God didn’t know where Adam was.  He was asking, “Where are you that you are avoiding Me?”  The second question was, “Who told you you were naked?  Why have you condemned  yourself?”  The third question was, “Did you eat the fruit that I told you not to eat?”  “Have you been disobedient, son?” Instead of owning up as a confident son, Adam became a victim and answered:  “This woman YOU gave me did it.”  Poor Adam was “unjustly suffering” because of a woman God created, and he saw himself  victim-like not son-like.
