The Call is Sent

First of all, let me just say this, what I’m about to write has nothing to do with being “politically correct.” Quite frankly I don’t know how to do that, or, even understand exactly what that means. I come from a different time where the truth was the truth. This is not about men verses women or women verses men or. any of the “others” I don’t even understand. So, with that being said, let me get on to what is on my heart to share. I love you all, Jesus loves you more! 😊

When God created Adam and Eve, and by the way this is coming from a Christian’s view point. The account is found in the first book of the Bible, (Genesis 1:26 -5:5.) The following is coming from my imagination. Thoughts of how I think it could have been because we don’t have all of the details. We do have enough to understand that God is an Awesome Creator.

In the beginning, God, created a man and called him, Adam, in Hebrew adomah meaning, man. Adam was strong and highly intelligent. He had to be to live in God’s vast garden where Adam took care of and tended all the plants and animals. God gave Adam the ability to name all the animals. Can you imagine a task like that? I imagine him swimming with the alligators and hippos in the river. Playfully catching fish and naming each species, then throwing them back just to see them swish away with no fear.

Climbing trees with the monkeys. Eating grapes with the magnificent apes. Running in tall grass with the lions and being tossed from an elephant’s tusk to ride high above the ground on its back. Calling out to the eagles as they dive in to lift him up and soar high about the mountains. Adam, a man after God’s own heart. He was swift as a cheetah. Harmless as a dove. His intelligence came directly from the I AM. Loved without measure. Strong as an ox. Brave as a lion. Tender and kind as a deer. Generous as the *bonobos (monkey). Loyal as man’s best friend, the dog. Keep in mind this was from before the “fall.” Yes, Adam was a man’s man. He was responsible for taking care of all of God’s garden and he was dedicated and reliable. We don’t know how long all of this took, but let’s just say it had to have been years. He never tired and like God, he rested every 7^th day.

But his most devoted time spent in the garden was in the early mornings where he met and walked and talked with God. I suppose that during these times he shared his heart and soul with his creator, who became his father and best friend. God saw that Adam was lonely and he said, It’s not good that man should be alone.

He caused Adam to take a long peaceful nap and then out of his side he took one of Adam’s ribs and formed the most magnificent of all his creations, you guessed it, woman. Adam named his wife, Eve, meaning life.

She was gentle and kind, not as strong as the man. They complimented each other and Adam was beside himself with love for her. He was at her, beck and call; he would do anything for her. God had given them to be help-mates to each other. He gave them one rule. Of the trees in all of the garden you may eat the fruit but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat. For in the day that you do, you will die. (Genesis 2:17)

Life was bliss. They had peace and comfort with each other until one day when everything would change forever. The serpent, Satan, tempted Eve and she gave in to the lies.

At this point I’m not going to give all the details; you can read about that in Genesis. What I want to get at is this. Man, Adam, was strong and brave and faithful to God. He would never, ever, disobey his father God and the serpent knew this about him. So, what does the serpent do? He comes subtly to the woman. Whispers his suggestion to her. “Surely God will not kill you if you eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He’s a loving God after all, are you sure, that is what God said? He caused doubt in her mind and she fell for it.

After the fall and all of these eons later, the serpent, the craftiest of all the animals, is still using the same tactics…he suggests something to our minds and for the most part, we fall for it. We are still falling after all these years. But God…gave us a redeemer, Jesus the only begotten son of God came to restore all that Satan stole from mankind.

When God saves a man and that man lays down the skin-garments of sin and takes up the garments of salvation through the shed blood of Jesus, there is no stopping him.

God has an order to the Universe. He ordained the earth to move and breathe and operate according to His design. He ordained man and woman to move and breathe and operate according to His design. Yes, women can lead, when they are born anew and are filled with the with Holy Spirit. I thank God that they are the first to step out in faith. I praise God for their design. After all, I am a woman. But I’m here to tell you that when a man takes up his true identity and begins to step out in faith and live the life God has ordained him to live; No demon in heaven or hell can stop him. That authority, that God has placed within him causes the demons to tremble with fear when they are bond and cast out by a Holy Spirit filled, walking, talking full of the word of God, man.

That’s why men have been attacked and silenced by Satan because he knows that if one man will dedicate his life to the service of Jesus Christ, kingdoms will crumble. Sickness and diseases will cease. Souls will pour in with multitudes for the living God at the obedience of one man who follows God.

So, men, God is calling you right now to take back your families, take back your God-life, step up and stand up to the enemy and fight with the Power, Love and Sound Mind of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!!!

I witnessed this the other day. Bob had been out of the hospital a few days when a young man was desperately being attacked by the enemy. He came over to our home Bob talked with him and when Bob prayed for this young man. I’ve never seen him pray with such fervor and power of the Holy Spirit before. God has done something unbelievable in Bob’s life since his surgery and I’m doing the happy dance of praise to God for what is taking place.

Women stand in agreement with your men and let God do the building and restoring in your house hold.

And we will say like Joshua said, As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord! Amen

*Bonobos give food like apples and bananas to other bonobos who aren’t a part of their group. These cuddly primates give presents to strangers because they enjoy having new interactions and expanding their social network. Bonobos from different groups will even travel together for days at a time. (from Google)

Their very names are indicative of their roles. Adam comes from the Hebrew adomah, meaning “man.” Eve is from the Hebrew for “life.” The complete biblical account of Adam and Eve can be found in Genesis 1:26 to Genesis 5:5.

Adam named his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all human beings. Adam named his wife Eve [Life] because she became the mother of every living person. Genesis 3:20

Joshua 24:15 New International Version ¹⁵ But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
