Greetings loved ones!

Dearest family,

Genesis 1:26-27 says we were created to be JUST LIKE GOD:

  • 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness…”27 So God created man in HIS OWN IMAGE; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

We were clothed with a coat of glory and were created to never die.

Now, take a look with me at Genesis 2:17.  Speaking to ADAM, God says,

  •  “but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

Now, in Genesis 3:1, the serpent says to EVE, 

  • “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of EVERY tree of the garden’?”

Not only is the serpent misquoting God, but he’s questioning God.

Then in verse 3, EVE, who got second hand what the Lord spoke to Adam in Genesis 2:17 ADDED ON and said,

  • 3 “but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you TOUCH it, lest you die.’”

God didn’t say, “Don’t TOUCH it.”  He only said, “Don’t EAT it.”

So, all of a sudden, she realizes that she didn’t die when she touched it.  Now, she’s in a position to question the rest of God’s commandments.  

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT’S GOING ON TODAY!

We’ve ADDED to what God has said!  God said, “this” and man came along and added tradition to it.  So, if men break the tradition and they don’t die, then they will question every commandment that God has ever said!

Mark 7:13 says,

  • 13 making the word of God of no effect through your tradition…

Just a little change in the way you think will rob from you!

Don’t be robbed by what the enemy puts in your head.  

2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) says,

  • Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Joshua 1:8 states, 

  • 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Know what God’s Word says for yourself and agree ONLY with it, not with men’s traditions or wordly principles that are not according to Christ.  Colossians 2:8 says,

  • 8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

Don’t let tradition become stronger than the Word of God.

I exhort you to take the Word of God and line your thoughts, words, and actions up with IT.

You will be blessed!

Grace and peace to you today,
