There's a Snake in the House

Genesis 3:1–6 KJV 1900

1 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? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 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. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 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. 6 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.

THE STORY OF ADAM AND EVE IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN IS A VERY

FAMILLAR STORY. WHAT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID OF GENESIS AS A

WHOLE IS PECULIARLY TRUE OF THE THIRD CHAPTER, PARTICULARLY

BECAUSE IT IS THE SEEDPLOT OF THE BIBLE.

IT’S CONSIDERED TO BE THE SEED PLOT OF THE BIBLE BECAUSE

ALL OF THE REST OF THE BIBLE KIND OF BRANCHES OFF OF GENESIS CHAPTER 3. AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE IN OTHER TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THE REST OF THE BIBLE AND EVEN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE WORLD TODAY, WE MUST GO BACK TO GENESIS CHAPTER 3. BECAUSE GENESIS CHAPTER 3, I TELL YOU, IS THE “SEED PLOT” OF THE BIBLE.

GENESIS CHAPTER 3. BECAUSE GENESIS CHAPTER 3, I TELL YOU, IS THE “SEED PLOT” OF THE BIBLE.

NOW, GENESIS CHAPTER 3, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IS SO

VITAL TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE REST OF THE BIBLE THAT IF

YOU WERE TO READ GENESIS CHAPTER 1 AND READ GENESIS CHAPTER

2, THEN OMIT GENESIS CHAPTER 3 AND READ GENESIS CHAPTER 4, YOU WOULD EASILY AND IMMEDIATELY CONCLUDE THAT YOU MUST HAVE MISSED SOMETHING. OH YES, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS BECAUSE YOU SEE, IT WOULD BE KIND OF LIKE IF YOU WERE WATCHING A MYSTERY MOVIE AND RIGHT BEFORE IT GOT REAL GOOD, RIGHT BEFORE IT GOT REAL INTERESTING YOU GOT UP AND WENT INTO THE KITCHEN TO FIX YOURSELF A BAG OF MICROWAVE POPCORN.

BUT WHEN YOU RETURNED, LOW AND BEHOLD, EVERYTHING HAD GONE HAYWIRE. AND YOU CAN’T HELP BUT POSE THE QUESTION "WHAT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS GONE?" THAT'S THE WAY IT WOULD BE IF YOU WERE TO EXCLUDE GENESIS CHAPTER 3.

FOR IN GENESIS, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS GOD IS REVEALED AS THE CREATOR GOD, THE COVENANT GOD, THE ETERNAL GOD, THE ALMIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING GOD,THE MOST HIGHT GOD, AND THE POSSESSOR AND THE SUSTAINER OF BOTH HEAVEN AND EARTH.

WITHOUT THIS STORY, NOTHING THAT IS WOULD FALL INTO

PLACE.WITHOUT THE GENESIS STORY, WE WOULD HAVE NO

AUTHORITATIVE RECORD OF ANYTHING THAT IS. WE WOULD BE

WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDG OF TIME AND DATES.NO BEGINNING OF

RECORDS. WITHOUT THIS STORY, ALL THAT IS WOULD SEEM AS A

MEANINGLESS CONGLOMERATION OF MATTER WITHOUT PURPOSE.

WITHOUT THIS STROY, ALL OF THE EVENTS OF HISTROY WOULD BE

ONLY HAPHAZARD HAPPENINGS WITH NO PURPOSEFUL PURPOSE.

WITHOUT THIS STORY WE WOULD HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF A CREATOR

NOR WOULD WE BE CONSCIOUS OF OUR CREATUREHOOD. MAN WOULD

HAVE NO STARTING PLACE TO TRACE HIS OWN BEING.THE DARWIN

THEORY EVOLUTION WOULD BE THE AUTHORITY.AND WE WOULD BE

FORCED TO BELIEVE THAT WE ARE THE OFF SPRINGS OF THE LOWER

ANIMALS OR THE PRODUCTS OF CHANCE OR OF MAMMALS OF THE SEA.

WITHOUT THE GENESIS STORY, NOTHING THAT IS,IS WORTH ANY

CONSIDERATION. WITHOUT THIS STORY, MIND AND MATTER ARE IN

THE SAME CATEGORLY. WITHOUT THIS STORY, WE WOULD HAVE NO

GROUNDS FOR BELIEF IN ANYTHING; WITHOUT THE GENESIS STORY,

HUMAN HISTROY IS A MONSTROUS JOKE.SO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO REFUTE THIS STORY WOULD MEAN DOING AWAY WITH ALL HUMAN REASONING AND FAITH IN ANYTHING.FOR YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS ALL ABSOLUTE TRUTH HAS ITS BEGINNING IN THE GENESIS STORY.

THE GENESIS STORY BEGINS WITH THE WORDS, IN THE BEGINNING

GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.YOU SEE NO MAN, NO

MATTER HOW LEARNED HE IS, CAN GO BEYOND THIS IN HIS SEARCH

FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD AND ALL THINGS CONTAINED

HEREIN. TO ATTEMPT TO GO BACK BEYOND THE BEGINNING IS SIMPLY

HUMAN SPECULATION AND VAIN BABBLING.ANY TIME A MAN ATTEMPTS

TO GO FURTHER BACK THAN THE BEGINNING, HE ENDS UP WITH A

CONFUSED MIND AND CONFUSES ALL THE MINDS THAT LISTEN TO HIM.

IT IS IN GENESIS THAT THE FOUNDATION OF OUR DOCTRINES ARE

LAID AND UPON WHICH OUR FAITH MUST REST. IT IS IN GENESIS

THAT MAN BECOMES KNOWLEDGEABLE OF A WORLD ABOUT HIM, AS WELL

AS OF WHO AND WHAT HE IS.THIS IS THE STARTING POINT OF

KNOWLEDGE. IN GENESIS CHAPTER 2, WE READ THAT MAN WAS

CREATED IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD. , WE READ

THAT GOD MADE HIM A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS AND CROWNED

HIM WITH GLORY AND HONOR.

HERE WE READ THAT GOD PLACE MAN IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN AND

GAVE HIM DOMINION OVER ALL THE FOWLS OF THE AIR AND THE

BEASTS OF THE FIELDS. HE GAVE HIM EVE AS HIS HELPMATE WITH

THE COMMAND TO DRESS THE GARDEN AND KEEP IT.SO ALL WAS GOOD

IN EDEN. ALL WAS PEACEFUL IN EDEN. IT WAS A GARDEN OF

DELIGHT, A GARDEN OF PLEASURE,AND A GRADEN OF PLENTY. I TELL

YOU MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS ALL WAS PEACEFUL IN EDEN.

. THERE WERE NO ILL WINDS THAT BLEW IN EDEN AND NO VIOLENT

STORMS AROSE IN EDEN.NO TORRENTIAL RAIN FELL IN EDEN. NO

SHOCKING EXPERIENCES TOOK PLACE IN EDEN, AND THERE WERE NO

UNSUPECTED HAPPENING IN EDEN.THERE WERE NO PERPLEXING

PROBLEMS FACING ADAM AND EVE. NO BURDENS REST ON THEIR

SHOULDERS AND NO SORROW PIERCED THEIR HEARTS.THERE WAS

NOTHING IN EDEN TO UPSET THEIR NERVES.AND SICKNESS WAS NOT

KNOWN TO THEM AND PAINS WERE NEVER FELT.

DEATH WAS UNKNOWN. THERE WERE NO FUNERALS . THERE WERE NO

CONDOLENCES TO BE SENT, NO OBITUARIES TO READ, AND NO

EULOGIES TO BE DELIVERED.THERE WERE NO HEARSE-WHEELS TO

ROLL, NO GRAVES TO DIG,AND THERE WERE NO BENEDICTIONS TO

PRONOUNCE. I TELL YOU ALL WAS PEACEFUL IN EDEN.

GOD'S DELIGHT WAS IN MAN AND MAN'S DELIGHT WAS IN GOD.

THEY WERE CONSTSNT COMPANIONS. EDEN WAS A GRADEN OF PERFECT PEACE.MAN'S HABITATION AND ABSOLUTE INNOCENCE WAS MAN'S STATE.ALL THAT ADAM KNEW WAS A PARADISE OF LOVELINESS, A

GARDEN OF BEAUTY, AND A HOME OF PEACE.

HOW BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL IT WAS IN EDEN FROM THE FIRST

CHAPTER THROUGH CHAPTER 2. BUT IN CHAPTER 3, THERE IS A

SUDDEN CHANGE. SATEN APPEARED IN THE FROM OF A SNAKE. IN

OTHER WORDS THERE'S A SNAKE IN THE HOUSE

TELL THE STORY

AS I CLOSE THERE IS A SNAKE IN MANY MODERN-DAY HOMES.HAVE

YOU EVER WONDERED WHY SATAN ATTACKED THE FIRST HOME? WAS IT

NOT BECAUSE HE RECOGNIZED THE HOME AS HIS ENEMY? WAS IT NOT

BECAUSE HE KNEW THE HOME WOULD BE A BENEFACTOR OF MAN IN

PROVIDING PEACE,SECURITY AND STRENGHT? DID HE NOT RECOGNIZE

THE HOME AS A FORTRESS FOR TRUTH AND RIGHT AND THUS TRIED TO

INFILTRATE IT AT THE BEGINNING TO ROB IT OF ITS POWER? SATAN

KNEW MORE ABOUT THE VALUE OF THE HOME THEN THE SO CALLED

INTELLECTUALS OF OUR DAY. IF THE HOME HAD NOT BEEN IMPORTANT

SATAN WOULD NEVER HAVE BOTHERED WITH IT.

THE HIGH DIVORCE RATE, THE PLAGUE OF MARITAL INFIDELITY,

THE ABUSE OF CHILDREN AND SPOUSES, AND THE GENERAL SPIRIT OF

UNREST ARE EVIDENCE OF SATAN'S PRESENCE IN OUR HOMES TODAY.

WHEN SATAN FINISHED HIS WORK IN THE ORIGINAL HOME, HAPPINESS

HAD TURNED TO SORROW, TRUTH TO LYING, INNOCENCE TO SHAME AND

STABILITY TO INSTABILITY. AND MY BROYHERS AND SISTERS HE IS

DOING THE SAME THING TODAY. SATAN MUST BE RESISTED BY

FILLING OUR HOMES WITH THAT WHICH IS GOOD, PURE, AND HOLY.

THERE IS A SNAKE IN THE LIVES OF SOME CHURCH MEMBERS.

SATAN'S INFLUENCE IS EVIDENCED BY THEIR WORLDLY LIVING. THEY

LOVE THE WORLD AND WORLDLY THINGS. THEY BLEND IN WITH THE

WORLD, INSTEAD OF SHINNING AS LIGHTS THEREIN. THEIR LIGHT IS

UNDER THE BUSHEL OF WORLDLINESS. THEIR SPEECH, DRESS, AND

HABITS BETRAY THEM!

there is a snake in the house: contrary , gossiping and hateful,

sowing the seed of contrary confusion and division

the seed of bitterness and anger, the seed of i cant’s and they wont

I cast out the sankes in this house as God cast satan out of the garden

the serpent has been and is defeated and the hill of christ has been bruised has

put on humanity and taught us how to live, ...............
