Eden Experience... today's world

Eden Experience... today's world

Genesis 2:5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground,6 but streams[b] came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7Then the LORD God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. chapter 3:8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?”

So even heathens know this story. God creates man, Adam and Eve, (not Adam and Steve); mankind disobeys God; our sin separates us from Him.
Here's what most of us probably don't know.
We can go back to Eden.
Because you see, what made Eden wonderful,
wasn't the fruit there. 
It wasn't the rivers, or the animals or the scenery.
It was the fact that it was the place where God and man would have fellowship.
They would walk together in the cool of the day.
God is our father.
He created us for no other purpose, than He had fatherly love to give.
We were created so we could cry out, abba, father.
We messed it up.
We ran away from home.
We got ourselves kicked out of eden.
 Isiah tells us sin separates us from God.
But God came down to earth to become sin, and make sin die on a cross. 
To restore our relationship with Him.
To redeem us.
Mission; accomplished.
Praise break!

So how do we get back there?
Simple, get filled with the Holy Ghost.
You see we live in a world, where the Spirit of God is no longer restricted to a veil in the temple.
We can have church anywhere, because the blood of Jesus tore the veil.
Then the Holy Ghost fell.
We just have to learn, especially in our culture, to entertain His presence.
My friend Geral blogged recently about what is man that thou art mindful of Him. (read it here http://beyondbelief-inmyhead.blogspot.com/2011/01/in-air-but-under-my-feet.html ).
How wonderful is it that the president's won't ever know our name, but God of all the universe can visit our house!
Try to get some Eden time in. It will change your life.
Shut off the tv. Turn off the computer! Put the cell phone down! Jesus died, just to bring us Back 2 Eden!!!

  1. Amen!
    God is what makes a place a Paradise.
    It's because God roamed Eden in the cool of the day that made it such an awesome place
    It's like when Jesus was on the cross and He told the thief that he'd be in Paradise with Him. There's the key! With Him!
    We can go back to Eden, why? Because it's the presence of God!
