What was Eve feeding on?

What are you feeding on?

what have you allowed in your life to become a part of who you are?

Genesis 3:1-8 newly married cupple who stuffed up.

Gen 3 1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,

3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’ ”

4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.

5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

What did eve feed on to alow her and her husbane to stuff up? An Appel

Eve didnt hear the word from God.

we know that God told adam not to eat from the tree of Knolage.

we dont know if God told eve or if adam told eve.

the convosation with adam happend just before eve was created.

Gen 2. 16-18  And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

Eve had (bad compony)

she was talking to the devil.

worse still she listend to him.

Story: when i was littel i would see snakes on the farm and my dad would deal with them.

Eve did not have to be talking to this deciver.

Gods presanse was avalibe to her

(seroundings) Eve was in sight of the big temptation.. vs6 she saw the tree

eve was in sight of the tree!

we can suround ourselves with bad Movies, tv shows, vidieo games, to much news, could be alcahole drugs, inproper relations.

We can allow our seroundings to feed in to our decitions.

anything that you obsess over, 4x4s

it could be somthing set up by you to glorify God or get you closer to God. but you forget about God in the prosses.

she was not approperating Gods presance

she probaly didnt feel Gods presance

Story: i remember working in a stresful invironment and having to learn how to do this new job. I was starting to breath heavy at times and sometimes i would feel short of breath. at that time i whent to peru and i was so worried about the oxigen been thin and i wouldnt be abel to breath propaly. so i went on the hike and we whent threw a 4,800m pass and i was fine. i didnt take the medication. i was reflecting on why i could breath so well when there was obioulsy less oxigen and i couldnt breath that well in the normal work life. i belive it was my seroundings that carmed me down. i had good frends and family around me and a nice view of Gods creation.

this is what relaxes me. you have to get aroung the wright stuff

You might say but Bowen i am locked up!

Gods presance is acsesabel to You!

Rev 3.20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

you can feed off your seroundings. if you are in a mouldy room you could get sick!

Fear of missing out (FOMO) vs 4-5

eve thought God was holding out on her.

She was missing out on some wisdom/knolage that she could obtain by this sin.

i remember thinking when i was young. do i want to live a christian life?

i will miss out on what the world has to offer. how did that work out for Eve?

i started to develop a relationship with God and found the world has nothing like the presance of God! the hope and security that He brings to a humans life is priceles.

you may miss out on the selfe satisfying Junk food but you will

The answer to the FOMO effect is trust the goodness of God. he wants the best for you and you wont miss out on the best for your life if you put him first!

it may look different but God looks with eternity in mind. Big picture

Re-cap

1. Eve was relayed the word of God by a person. Nothing wrong with that. She may not have had the full reverlation of how importand it was. this can lead to dobt.

2. Bad company. resist the devil. apropriate Gods presence

3. seroundings of temptation efected decition. Alow God in!

4. FOMO fear of missing out. God is good and when you follow him he will take you ferther than you ever thought!

it may not be the way you expected but if you hold on it will be better than you could have imagined.

What to you feed on?

Jesus and the word! he is the bread of life! and we are to be sustaind by his every word!
