Where it all Began

THE BATTLEGROUND

THE BATTLEGROUND

After the man had finished class six, his mind became active and alive, with his thought hypersensitive to observe things, prompting his consciousness to ask questions and search to know why. It is with the quest for a man trying to know why that he became rational to start using his senses instead of depending on the sure Word of God. This was what led man to the broad path, which is apart from God into the ways and because he could no longer listen to his inner voice, he strayed and became lost in the wilderness (Genesis 37: 15). Pathetically, a man not even knowing what he is seeking kept wandering in the field and this quest left him in the confines of conflicting thoughts, which gives a negative signal to the mind and makes the mind a chaotic domain, such that the only word that could best describe it becomes a battleground.

A man’s heart is a battleground of thoughts, and until he fights to win, his rib bone will be captured in his by embracing an alien thought.

The heart is a DECISION SITE.

The Bible recorded that “thus the heavens and the earth and all the host of them, were finished.” (Genesis 2: 1). This call to my mind that there were spirit beings that were why Scripture points out that “the entire host…” my humble question to provoke your thought not to think, but to trust is, “What host? “Nevertheless, the man was created and was not told of any host that exists on both earth and heavens, by this I mean, within the knowledge of his confines as experienced.

God rested on the seventh day from all of His work, in reality, the man was supposed to rest with God. This points us back to the question “Why…?” in man. Therefore, instead of a man resting even when God is resting, the man started testing his senses (practical knowledge of his class 6). Even the project that God did not give him, he went outside God to research it and in his exploration (deep sleep); he left his half and that cost him his destiny. In the mind of God, the seventh day is sanctified and blessed and that alone, the cunning and subtle being having known that if a man enters rest, he is doomed for life, but acted timely into the reality of man’s knowledge and started playing games with man’s mind. When God was resting, waiting for a man to travel into rest, in His thought to bring the thought of man under His thought, the man was missing.

So the battleground now become Man’s thought, for the Maker and Maker’s creation who has a contrary thought against…..

During this time, man does not know choice, so he has no power to make decision…. His will was a dormant potential waiting for activation. If man had travelled into God’s rest on the seventh day and all he would know of will be the WILL of his Maker, but the man never arrived at the seventh day, why?

The possessed serpent intercepted and started creating a wrong knowledge of the reality of the thought of God. The Bible says, “For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground, but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.” (Genesis 2: 5b). This Scripture introduced a platform for man to tend the earth by tilling the ground and this; he will gradually start reflecting God magnificent glory. So immediately God breathes into man, the man became active to start working. So God had to prepare man’s thought with what I called initial knowledge and man’s obedience is the only ground of intimacy for man to travel into the reality of God’s REST (Seventh-day). Therefore, God literally for the second time educated man. This time around was on the reality of the trees that has grown and has produced fruits. The lawful tree of which its fruit can be eaten and the unlawful ones, that their fruit should be avoided, even as programmed in God’s thought before man was formed. God’s intention was for man to destroy the tree of knowledge of good and evil if he had entered into His rest. Therefore, that evil seed will no longer exist if the man had entered into the rest of God, but man failed. How did he fail?

Journey with me further!

He failed the moment he conceived the thought “why?” and that was the platform the possessed serpent hinged on like a temporary world created for him to operate since it was not in God’s thought, it fell into his thought (the being with contrary thought against). So when God formed man, He planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He formed (Genesis 2: 8). The Bible said, “planted a garden eastward in Eden” as at this time, it was not called Garden of Eden. Therefore, the thought of God started manifesting physically even as He has created things to interact with His thought. Out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the SIGHT and GOOD FOR FOOD. Remember LESSON 6, where God gave man the knowledge of his food and the first word that initiates that reality is SEE, which interprets SIGHT. Sight became the catalyst to stimulate man’s DESIRE for his food. God having known man already desire to eat his food, God started teaching man, by telling him “The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”

God pointed out clearly to man the two trees, “The tree of life” and “the tree of knowledge of good and evil”. By revelation knowledge, I saw that this knowledge provoked the possessed serpent, which is now the being with the contrary thought against that of God. The Bible says, “Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden” this brings to my mind a question, “Which river?” what does the river do to the garden when it is been watered? The answer to the second question will give us a pointer to the river. The river makes the seeds in the garden start growing, which implies the river gives life to the dormant seeds. If the river gives life, then what do you call the river that gives life? THE RIVER OF LIFE!

Interesting, wow! The code is broken. Therefore, the river that went out of Eden to water the garden is the River of Life. The next question is, “What gives life? The Spirit of God, Hmmm! If the Spirit of God is the life-giver, then, where does the river flows from? THE HEART OF GOD; where is the heart of God? The heart of God is simply where His thought is conceived. If a man speaks out of the abundance of his heart, then his word is his thought. This implies, the heart of God is the thought of God and the thought of God is His Word, which points that it is from His Word, the living water flows and Jesus proved that in John 4: 10 when He had an encounter with a desperate heart (The Samaritan woman). I discovered before one could access the living water, you must have to give your water and if water is the symbol of life, it means, you have to give up on yourself to offer your life. The water here typifies life, which supports the Scriptural truth that “You can only have life when you give your life”. Therefore, the principle of living is giving. So the reality of the river is Jesus Christ and if Jesus is the living water, to whom does the water flows? Man! I think from this point in His Word not in my thought, we could deduce a clear pointer, what the garden means. Nevertheless, when we read, we will discover that the garden is planted eastward in Eden. If the living water flows out of Eden, then Eden will be the throne of God situated in heaven (the heart of God), if you allow me to give it location. Then by revelation knowledge, I would say, Eden is heaven, the garden is the HEART of Man (decision) wherein all the seeds lying wait to receive life has knowledge (Intimacy) as a base.
