GENESIS 3:1 NKJV
Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
GENESIS 3:2-3 NKJV
And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;
but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”
GENESIS 3:6 NKJV
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one WISE, she took of its fruit and ate.
She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

More substance inside
We are all created like God. Already has His model His shape, the manner. The nature of God
Eden means pleasure
GENESIS 2:9 NKJV
And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food.
The tree of LIFE was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the KNOWLEDGE of good and evil.
GENESIS 2:15 NKJV
Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.
GENESIS 2:16-17 NKJV
And the LORD GOD commanded the man, saying, “Of EVERY TREE of the garden you may FREELY EAT;
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall NOT EAT, for in the day that you eat of it you shall SURELY DIE .”
Then the SERPENT said to the woman, “You will not surely die.
For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
Missing that one word
You will not surely die
It is so very important we have chosen to know the Word clearly, correctly. One word missing or added in can determine how we live our life here on earth.
To love someone by choice rather than by force
God created Adam and Eve with free choice. No one is forced to receive the Lord
GENESIS 3:6 NKJV
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to MAKE ONE WISE, she took of its fruit and ate.
She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
Don’t believe everything. Believe only the truth
GENESIS 3:7-8 NKJV
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
What the serpent told her was totally not true.
WISDOM -
the ability to use your knowledge and experience to make good decisions and judgments
Today we can see un-deserve favour in Christ
1 CORINTHIANS 1:17 TPT
For the Anointed One has sent me on a mission, not to see how many I could baptize, but to proclaim the GOOD NEWS.
And I declare this message stripped of all philosophical arguments that empty THE CROSS of its true power.
For I trust in the all-sufficient CROSS of CHRIST ALONE.
We need to know about the new creation. Everything in the Old Testament point to Jesus
To bring someone from death to life is to preach the gospel.
The gospel is Christ alone.
We are not talking about religion. We are talking about dead and life.
1 CORINTHIANS 1:18 TPT
To preach the MESSAGE of the CROSS seems like sheer nonsense to those who are on their way to destruction, but to us who are on our way to salvation, it is the MIGHTY POWER of GOD RELEASED WITHIN US.
Nonsense means it don’t make sense
Introduce the pre-believers to Jesus Christ
Adam and Eve had fellowship with God.
1 CORINTHIANS 1:19 TPT
For it is written: I will dismantle the wisdom of the wise and I will invalidate the intelligence of the scholars.
The devil has no more control over your life
1 CORINTHIANS 1:20 TPT
So where is the wise philosopher who understands?
Where is the expert scholar who comprehends?
And where is the skilled debater of our time who could win a debate with God?
Hasn’t GOD DEMONSTRATED that the WISDOM of this WORLD SYSTEM is UTTER FOOLISHNESS?
Natural - temporarily
supernatural - eternal
God’s wisdom is from supernatural realm.
When we die we go into eternal realm
Wisdom of the world system
1 CORINTHIANS 1:21 AMP
For since the world through all its [earthly] wisdom failed to recognize God,
God in His wisdom was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached [regarding salvation] to save those who believe [in Christ and welcome Him as Savior].
World wisdom
Go by the way of God’s wisdom
Blessing of God adds no sorrow to it
1 CORINTHIANS 1:22 TPT
For the Jews constantly demand to see miraculous signs, while those who are not Jews constantly cling to the WORLD'S WISDOM,
World wisdom
God wisdom
1 CORINTHIANS 1:23 TPT
but we preach the crucified Messiah. The Jews stumble over him and the rest of the world sees him as foolishness.
Man became rule over the 5 senses
Christ is the power of God and wisdom of God
1 CORINTHIANS 1:24 AMP
but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks (Gentiles), Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
It is Christ the power and wisdom of God.
1 CORINTHIANS 1:25 TPT
For the “foolish” things of God have proven to be wiser than HUMAN WISDOM.
And the “FEEBLE” things of GOD have PROVEN to be FAR MORE POWERFUL than ANY HUMAN ABILITY.
1 CORINTHIANS 1:26 TPT
Brothers and sisters, consider who you were when God called you to salvation. Not many of you were wise scholars by human standards, nor were many of you in positions of power.
Not many of you were considered the elite when you answered God’s call.
1 CORINTHIANS 1:27 TPT
But God chose those whom the world considers foolish to shame those who think they are wise, and God chose the puny and powerless to shame the high and mighty.
The power and wisdom of God
The most important book to read is the bible.
Smith Wigglesworth did not go for world wisdom. He could not read before he read the bible. He read and read and digested the New Testament. He had supernatural power
He knew the supernatural realm. He knew his God
1 CORINTHIANS 1:28 TPT
He chose the LOWLY, the laughable in the WORLD'S EYES —NOBODIES —so that he would shame the somebodies.
For he chose what is regarded as insignificant in order to supersede what is regarded as prominent,
1 CORINTHIANS 1:29 TPT
so that there would be no place for prideful boasting in God’s presence.
Life is quality life
1 CORINTHIANS 1:30 TPT
For it is not from man that we draw our life but from God as we are being joined to JESUS, the Anointed One. And now HE is our GOD-GIVEN WISDOM, our virtue, our holiness, and our redemption.
But of Him YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, who BECAME FOR US WISDOM from GOD —and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—
It is God who gives us life. We draw our life from God. He is our Source
Pleasure and not pressure.
Jesus became for us. He is made unto us wisdom.
Jesus Christ is the Source of God wisdom
Go and find who u r in Christ
1 CORINTHIANS 2:1-2 TPT
My brothers and sisters, when I first came to proclaim to you the secrets of God, I refused to come as an expert, trying to impress you with my eloquent speech and lofty wisdom. For while I was with you I was determined to be consumed with ONE TOPIC—JESUS, the CRUCIFIED MESSIAH.
Jesus is boasting of you. You don’t need to boast about yourself. We are His pride. He takes care of us and our family.
By the simple things of life, relax.
He takes care of us.
God is willing to give us and take care of us.
The answer is in Him. God does not punish us when we deserve it.
Our thoughts are not preoccupied with guilt and condemnation. We just trust in Him that we are His righteousness
We know who God is and how He works. He works when we relax. He works when we trust in Him and we seek for His wisdom and not the world wisdom.
Freely we receive freely give.
Read carefully. Live the full life in Him
My grace is sufficient for you
He will give us grace to overcome in all situation if we trust what He said.
He put us in this world to have pleasure.
The wisdom of this world makes us to have pressure.
