Common Lies Shameful lies:  I shouldn't have so

many needs.  Something is wrong with me.  Having needs is a weakness.  It's my fault if I have needs

Overbearing lies leading to constant disappointments:  All my needs have to be fulfilled by one person and that person is you. Or maybe it's you, or you?  No one cares.

Independence lies:  I don't have any needs. Or I can take care of myself, I don't need anyone.

Savior mentally:  I'm responsible for  everyone 

1.  What needs do you find it hard to admit you have or were taught that it's wrong to have?  Which lie has a hold on you? Who taught you that?

2.  Which needs do you feel the deepest void in?  Who or what do you tend to try to fill it with? Who or what do you blame for it not been filled?

Spiritual Needs Something/someone greater than

Our identity and destiny comes from what God

defined. We are the only creation God

breathed His own breath directly into and we were fashioned into His image. (all other creation made after it’s own kind.)

Mankind is God’s beloved bride.

As a young man marries a maiden, so will your sons marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you. Isaiah 62:5

and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. Eph 5:27

What is man that You take thought of him, and the son of man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than God, and You crown him with glory and majesty! You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas. Psalms 8:4-8  The heavens are the heavens of the LORD, But the earth He has given to the sons of men. Psalms 115:16

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Subdue (Kabash): to subdue, force, keep under, bring into bondage, make subservient, dominate, tread down.

Rule over, have dominion over (Rada): to rule, have dominion, dominate, tread down, scrape out.

Authority = jurisdiction; right to control, command, or determine.

Power = ability to do or act; capability of doing or accomplishing something, great or marked ability to do or act; strength; might; force.

Authority of the earth, God gave to man as a gift. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. Roman 11:29.

Power/wisdom to execute the authority came through relationship with God.

Power - He gave us access to His Power through ORDER and RELATIONSHIP over TIME. 

Naming of the animals.  Tending the garden. 

God’s design for Tripartite Humans

• May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Thes 5:23

• For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Heb 4:12

Eat of the fruit of Tree of Life.

Eating: mechanically breaking food into piece, break it into building blocks, absorbed into the body and gives energy to the body or becomes building blocks into needed structures.

We break down God’s words, ruminate over it, and it become life energy and foundations of life.

Like eating, we savor and taste the good ness of God.

Human Will Agrees

Tree of Life has seeds in it and has capability for reproducing.

And God said, “ I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” Gen 1:29.

And the Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed.  And out of the ground the Lord God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Gen 2:8-9

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’?”  The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 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.’”  “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.  “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”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. Gen 3:1-6

Eve Sin did not just happen to her.  She

actively chose to entertain the temptation/doubt and actively chose to agree with the serpent's lies.  She had a choice to go and verify with God.

Fed her mind needs-hunger for knowledge.  Override God's commandment with the rationales.   

Fed Emotional/bodily needs-pleasing to the eye and good for food.

Adam Sin did not just happen to Adam. 

He actively chose to be passive and did not subdue the serpent and his lies. 

Inactivity and passivity (choosing not to engage the serpent) did not excuse him from sin and did not excuse him from the consequences of it.

Systemic disease of knowledge of good and

good and evil. We judge each other We judge and define God rather than

letting Him define all things. 

There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor? James 4:12.

Truth is defined by God.

Justice is defined by God.

God Defines Himself God is the

Sovereign Ruler to whom I submit my will.

After Truth is defined by Me,

Myself and I.  There is no universal truth.     

What's right for you doesn't mean it's right for me.

9And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethen has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night. ---- Rev 12:9-10

Entrance of Doubt

Before We believe what we

cannot see and that belief/Faith becomes the evidence in the natural that is to come but not yet seen .  

After We believe only

what we have evidence for.  What we have evidence for we believe.  

Now faith is the substance (assurance, confidence) of things hoped for, the evidence (proof, conviction) of things not seen…Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear (things not yet visible). Heb 11:1, 3

SKIT Subject X before Christ

Jesus Restores Relationship with God and the ability

to draw from the source of life. Ability to eat of the Tree of Life. 

Restores the Spirit, Soul, Body alignment.

Restore the watering source (word of God, truth as defined by God).

The will of humans to be free to choose. 

Will gets to choose, what

source it draws from, how it draws the

nutrients and what waters the

tree.

Skit con't Subject X after

Christ

1. What did Subject X leave out?

2. Do you identify with Subject X?   How so?  Which aspect do you tend to leave out?

3. What does restoring the alignment of spirit, soul and body look like?  What does eating from the Tree of Life look like?

Subject X diligently followed God, read God's words, served at church, desired a relationship with God.  

What did Subject X not do or not know about?   ----   Address the battle between human flesh and human spirit/will

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.  I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind (spirit) and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!

System of Stars and DotsStory Time!

What did Punchinello do?

Activated his will to choose something different

Went into the presence of God and letting interaction with God and relationship redefine who he is

Let God define who He is Allow himself to feel and believe and

in doing so renounce the falsehood.

Consequence of the eating the FruitBefore

Authority of earth given to mankind. Do it by activating the will

Alignment = execution of authority with power and identity. God to spirit to soul to body.

Submission to God’s boundaries = protection.

After Authority given by

man to the serpent. (God never took it back from man.)

Misalignment = Mind, emotions and body dictating will, behavior and identity.

Disobedience = entry points of attack in the mind, emotions and body.

Antidote: Demolish stronghold and arguments via confession.

The primary Greek word for “confess” is homologea which

basically means “to say the same thing” and then “agree, admit,

acknowledge.” For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.  The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.  We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Cor 10:3-5

Activate the will to choose

Been present with God Letting God define Himself Accepting truths without

'evidence' seen in the natural Letting God be the source of

life/releasing others of a burden they cannot fulfill. 

Letting God be the source of life for others around you.

Activate the will to choose

Renouncing the System of Knowledge of Good and Evil--taming the soul

Renouncing the judgments resulting  

Renouncing alliance w/ the unholy trinity.

Getting rid of the demons and the strongholds/roots.

Put on the Belt of Truth.

Armor of God Belt of Truth: Covers reproductive system

and keeps the rest of the clothes in place, where you can hang your weapons.

The attack: lies, accusations, doubt(temptation to pass judgment on someone), doubts. .

The defense: Choose God’s truth about the person, situation and promises over that the conclusions drawn from natural evidence and knowledge of good and evil

Prayer of Alignment with God

Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit.  I praise you for defeating the enemies lies, accusations and doubts.  I exalt you for coming to earth to gain freedom for human will and reestablishing relationship with you.  Thank you that you are the source of life and fulfiller of all human needs.  I confess that I tried to fill my needs by myself, with things or people instead of looking to you first. I confess that I had replaced You

with the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.  I let my life and identity be defined by the evidence I gather through my eyes, ears and body.  I let myself be defined by my emotions, knowledge and human reasons.  I'd imprison or deactivated my will by agreeing with the devil's lies about who You are, who I am and who others are. Forgive me for judging You, others and myself.  As an act of my will, I now renounce my alliance with the unholy trinity of doubt, deception and Fruit of knowledge of Good and Evil.  We say to the

associated demonic spirits that the LORD rebuke you, the LORD rebuke you, the LORD rebuke you.  We say to the demonic stronghold the LORD demolishes you, be broken and loosen your hold.  I forgive myself for trying to be God for myself and for others.  The LORD rebuke the heaviness and weight of self-idolatry that I carried.  I forgive myself for self-condemnation that resulted from the fruit of Knowledge. I ask you to forgive me for the condemnation of other and you.  I now release the weight of it. I bind myself to your truth.  I align my spirit, my mind, my emotions and my body with You.  Help me to know You and hear You.   

Healing prayers Acknowledging God/Adoration--

Redeclare Confessing/Repenting Renouncing Rebuking Refilling

Discerning God’s voice Character of God, does it match what

scripture says about God’s character? Just, loving, patient, kind, delight. Is His power magnified or diminished?

Tone of speech. Tone of love/endearment vs. exasperation? edifying, inspiring? Love of a Father and love of a bridegroom.

Contents. Is it consistent with scripture? Or with kingdom purposes? Redemption? Identity building? Stengthing? Comforting? Revealing God’s heart?

God’s discipline vs Satan’s condemnation.

Conviction of wrong doing. Targets behavior. (you made a

mistake.) Specific behavior with a road to

correct and redeem.

Brings guilt and shame. Targets identity. (you are a mistake.) Vague and does not give us a knowing

of what and how to change. (brings up all past mistakes, too many things to correct. Overwhelms.)

Accompanied by grace (empowerment to change what we cannot change on our own.)

God reminds us that He is in it with us.

Redemption is unobtainable. Hopelessness. (You will never be able to change.)

You are alone, no one cares. God hates you and is deeply disappointed. Don’t go to Him until you fix it.

Lordship PrayerLord Jesus, I confess that I have sinned and wanted my own way. I acknowledge that You created me and that I can do nothing without You. I thank You for dying on the cross for me and I confess You as my Saviour. I choose to forgive Adam and Eve for overturning your created order and giving the authority you gave them to the serpent. I forgive my ancestors for continuing that rebellion. Forgive me for partaking of the Fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Forgive me of using that knowledge to judge others, myself and even You. Forgive my pride and my reliance on knowledge,

what I observe through my sense, what I understand in my thought and emotions and for letting it override your truth. Forgive me for undermining your Lordship. I want to repent and turn from that and come into agreement with you in every area of my life: I want you to be the Lord of my spirit and my relationship with You. Lord of my spiritual awareness and worship. Lord of my mind, my attitudes, my beliefs, my imagination, my understanding, my memories, my dreams, all my thoughts and my desires. Lord of my emotions, my expression of my feelings and all my reactions. Lord of my will and all my decisions. Lord of habits, my coping mechanisms and my behavior cycles. Lord of my body, my physical health, my exercise, my diet, my rest, my physical health,

my exercise, my diet, my rest, my health care, my appearance and all my behavior. Lord of my eyes and what I look upon and for how long and when. Lord of my ears and everything I listen to and for how long and when Lord of my mouth and what I speak (fewer questions, fewer comments, more appreciative words; “quick to listen, slow to speak” James 1:19; “take control of what I say, O Lord, and guard my lips” Psalm 141: 3). Lord of my hands and all that I do. Lord of my feet and everywhere I go. Lord of my sexuality and its expression. Lord of my time, my work, my ministry, my prayers, my pleasure, my home, my family, my possessions, my perceived needs, my safety, my finances, my plans, my ambitions, my future and all my relationships. Thank you Jesus, that your blood was shed that I might be set free. That you rose

again and sent Holy Spirit that I might learn to walk in joy and peace and victory over sin and Satan. Please grant me daily intimate fellowship with You. I desire to know and clearly hear Your voice and walk in the path You have for me. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen

New Creation We died to sin; how can we live in it any

longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Romans 6:2-4

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God...

2Cor 5:17

New Heart I will give you a new heart and put a

new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and becareful to keep my laws. Ezekiel 36:26-7

I will give them an undivided heart and will put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh

Ezekiel 11:19-20

New Heart The holy Spirit also testifies to us

about this. First he says: This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds. Heb 10:15-6.

God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He hasgiven us. Romans 5;5

New Mind Do not conform any longer to the

pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- his good, pleasing and perfect will Romans 12:2

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Colossians 3:2

Prepare your minds for action. 1Peter 1:13

Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Romans 8:5-7.

Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. 1Peter 4:7.

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Eph 6:13-18
