This message is one of the greatest messages ever preached!! Because the understanding that this message brings will produce great fruit! Thank you Greg
I have a question: the lie that Satan presented was it that they lacked Because in my opinion they did indeed lack-they lacked eternal life; because they were indeed naked. I am still asking the Holy Spirit to reveal to me this. My thinking/belief as of now is-the lie was that they could have life-what they lacked-through the flesh. Yes they didn’t have life-they were naked but Satan persuaded them that they could have what they lacked by their own efforts. The evil comes with half truths which is cunning and very deceptive I have heard other messages Pastor has taught and says that Lucifer was an angel who was suppose to minister to man. He was suppose to point man to the tree of life but He left His first estate and started pointing man to his own efforts-tree of the knowledge of Good and evil
Great thought. For me they had what they needed for life and Godlikeness they just didnt partake of what they had. God freely gave them the tree of life and they could eat from it whenever they liked.
Gospel Revolution Church thank you for clarifying. God had already provided LIFE but they didn’t partake of what was already provided. My thinking/belief as of now is-the lie was that they could have life-what they lacked-through the flesh. Yes they didn’t have life-they were naked but Satan persuaded them that they could have what they lacked by their own efforts. The devil comes with half truths which is cunning and very deceptive I have heard other messages Pastor has taught and says that Lucifer was an angel who was suppose to minister to man. He was suppose to point man to the tree of life but He left His first estate and started pointing man to his own efforts-tree of the knowledge of Good and evil. He was suppose to point man to what man needed. What man needed and what he needs even today is life. What he needed-that is LIFE-through Christ. But he deceived man to finding what he needed through his own efforts and ability. The devil came to Jesus and said if you are the son of God turn these Stones to bread. It was true Jesus was/is the Son of God however he was tempting Jesus to prove He was indeed the Son by doing something. He wanted Him to use His own ability to prove that He was. Am still asking questions until it’s clear in my heart. I think there is a very small missing element and the Holy Spirit will reveal to me.
