Grow Up and Eat the Meat or He will Spew You Out
Pride is a five-letter word and when as a spirit it is exalted, the manifested fruit even in mankind is capable of rending utter and total destruction. That pride even goes before destruction, is a message familiar and central to us all from the very mouth of God. As the Bible states, in Proverbs 16:5 and 18-19: “Everyone that is proud in heart is an abomination unto the LORD; he shall not be unpunished. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud.”
It was pride that was the true sin of Adam, for it was pride alone that prevented him from achieving a humbled state even before God. We must first objectively observe, and then rightly consider that there was a level of pride in a now fallen Adam that even a murderous future Cain proved better able to subdue. A humbled Cain at least obtained protection from God averting what would surely otherwise have been his own pending death. Yet, tragically, it was the stubborn pride of a still defiant Adam that forced the death pronouncement upon us all. And yet it is before the works of the same pride of Adam, a force proven to be more destructive than what was even borne from an infamous, murderous Cain, that the Church as in institution still finds cause to bow.
That we accept definition of our own positions in creation, righteousness, and therefore authority as given by God, based upon the misinterpreted model of a carnally exalted yet most certainly punished Adam, is heretical at best and at it’s worst, is an unquestionable abomination in the face of God.
That we would, collectively as the Body of Christ, exalt one gender over that of another finds no right place in Scripture. The garden represents the heart of word itself as it reveals to us the sheer Goodness that is in the very Heart and MInd of God to create, authorize and freely give to us. My challenge to you on this day is to set aside all that you think you know and approach the garden scriptures open first and only to the Heart of God and not the mind of man. In so doing, you will be better able to identify and then overcome the issues of pride which so triumphantly otherwise beseech so many of us.
But for pride you would otherwise never preach that a weapon formed against a child of God shall prosper. You would otherwise never preach that God is indeed a respecter of persons. You would otherwise never preach that God is both a liar and a fool. But for pride you would otherwise never preach that God would turn a blind eye to truth and righteousness and instead reward any man or gender despite a demonstrated show of disdain for right confession and electing to lodge accusation in the face of God himself.
Well, when did you preach these things? Each and every time you deny the confession of the female in 3:13 as even rewarded by God in both title and name in 3:20. Each and every time you fail to heed and rightly discern that as the “mother of all living” even God was calling her righteous and if she, as you say was not then righteous, then even God is now made to be both the fool and the liar. You caused a record of yourself each and every time you instead even fathomed to fantasize that an un-confessed and punished Adam, who was himself but only a created thing, could ever be regarded as perfect. Why think such a thing despite the demonstrated Judgment and Foreknowledge of an Almighty Perfect God evidenced in this man's dusty creation as well as the telling name even God called him?
Yet you preach it every time you fail to note that Eve alone made a stand against the enemy even in the presence of a deceptive Adam. You preach it every time you fail to acknowledge that in 3:17 God was calling out a manipulative, silent and callous Adam, who himself desiring the fruit, only "hearkened" unto the still living "voice" of a wife who he suspected even before his eyes might surely die. You preach it every time you fail to attach even the slightest bit of significance to an Adam, who in 2:23, according to his own mind and before an unsuspecting female, is now “Man” (as in "a mighty champion") yet even unto to God in 3:9 he is but only still an Adam (as in to be made ashamed, a "hypocrite" and a man of "low-degree").
You do this each and every time the identity of the female is yet mangled again, first according to the mind of a rebellious Adam and now from a blinded pulpit not able to still call her just “Woman” (as did Adam) but subjugating her in purpose and call all the same. But where is your fear of a God who in Mind called this female “Eve” ("life-giver") even from the very beginning and never “Woman”? Think it for naught that a Righteous God addressed this issue in 3:9 and 3:20? Are we to think nothing of His work?
Did He too call an un-confessed Adam as a future father in the physical, a "life-giver?" But no, as it speaks to the spiritual reality and not the physical state of this righteously confessed female as a future mother. It has nothing to do with the fact that she would become a mother (that is finally) and it was a spiritual reality she achieved which an un-confessed garden Adam did not likewise earn. Yet also, was Adam even recognized with a respective title such as an Eve, as "the mother of all living?" But no, yet again, it is spiritual recognition of the female alone attesting to her proven garden righteousness even as acknowledged by God.
God wasn't even addressing Adam in 3:15. He was addressing the serpent and the female only. But where was Adam? Why did his so-called "elevated creation" and "righteous" garden standing not afford him to be positioned as was Eve by God as a righteous instrument of victory over the enemy? But do you really think God would use an un-confessed Adam for such a matter as this? And yet you dare deny her the pulpit?
Stop electing to play Adam’s name game of confusion, giving glory first and only to the enemy and the break-through will come, that I can promise you. And the Lord will even confirm you, despite the dusty creation of Adam, as He has indeed already confirmed those of us marginalized and left for dung because even as a well-churched “Woman,” we dare not knowingly bow down to an unholy thing.
Yes I boldly take my place even as a confessed and approved garden Eve. Yet I, unlike a garden Eve, am not operating with an adulterated word as given to her by a rebellious, manipulative Adam, but with only the truth of God. A truth rooted in the very word that the male tradition has instead elected to use as a whipping board in misogynistic pursuits birthed not in righteousness, but in the haughty, arrogant spirit of the proud only. Instead of doing such a thing, why not examine your need to be in the realm of God? Apply reason, what did not go well for Adam will not go well for you either.
But it would be better for you to stand against God completely than to allow Him to find you lukewarm, in a cuddled position, wrapped in, and suckling at the breast of a word first purposed in rebellion only. Grow up and eat the meat or He will spew you out.
