Pastor Charlene…..spoke 2 Weds. nites ago….
so I was going over the notes I took from her message…..

Gen. 3: 6
” When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good
for food and pleasing to the eye, ……….and ate it….
She also gave some to her husband……he ate it…..
they were naked………so they sewed fig leaves .”  ( to cover up )

The overstepping….
The being under……

The overstepping…..
The being under…….

It gives me great peace to know the wood is cut in the basement
and we have heat…..it gives me great peace to know that God has
given Rock the ability to have wisdom for our family……..
In the same way…it gives me great peace to know that our
Heavenly Father has things in the basement for our provision…
That our Heavenly Father has the wisdom for my life…..

The conscious decision to be content in the ” order of God”
The conscious decision not to even ” look at the fruit” of which
He tells us not to…..( through HIS power ) …….
The conscious decision as a woman……to know I have enough
struggles being just that…..and that men have enough struggles
being who they are designed to be…..

In Africa…..I shake my head because it is everywhere….
a woman luring her plans into a true man of God…..
whispering that what God has given them is not good enough
persuading that there is more, or God is with holding….
and he has followed her and left our/ God’s ministry……

If,    it was God’s will for them….it would not have to be done
in secret, in deception, in manipulating….the way it was.

Gen. 3 reveals , throws it up on the BIG SCREEN…..
The spiritual battle of women ” being under” being able
to accept, be content, listen….
not saying ” lay down and be a mat”……
but seriously, how God created the best for us…..
The spiritual battle of men…”

to have enough spiritual discernment and divine
wisdom, and back bone in knowing JESUS’ will ”
and carrying it out…..

Contentment is a strength not a weakness……
Choosing God’s order, God’s way,  to guide us…..

The snow, being “in “…..has revealed even deeper….
the word ” contentment”,  be ” thankful “,
a humble person under…..God….
in His order…takes us farther,
than grabbing the “fruit”…
reaching our hand in front of God’s
reaching our hand in front of our husband’s
and thinking it will get us there faster……

” teach me Thy ways….oh God…”
” teach ME…..Thy ways…..OH GOD ”
the way of everlasting….truly is the best…

In Africa, America, in the garden of Eden,
on Schooler Rd…….
the life long battle of staying under God…
one nation ?
one house ?
one wife ?
one husband……under God.
