How do you think Adam and Eve had such a beautiful place in the Garden of Eden to live in?
By words.
How do you think they lost their place and were banished from that garden?
By words!
God spoke His Word and the garden appeared. He provided them everything they could ever have wanted in that garden, but the devil came with words and stole from them what belonged to them.
Some people, quoting Job 1:21, say, “Well, it’s God that gives and it’s God that takes away.” That’s absolutely wrong. It’s only a child that would do that, and God is not a child. One Child says, “You’re not my friend anymore, so let me have my toys. Give me back my shoes and the album I gave you. Let me have them all back!”
“Wait a minute,” the other one says, “what about my things that are with you – my pencils and eraser, my crayons and storybooks? Let me have them back too!”
So each child angrily takes his things and walks away but tomorrow they are back again as friends. It’s amazing that some people actually attribute such acts of childishness to God. Why would God give you a child and suddenly strike that child with sickness because you offended Him and He wants to take back what He gave you? God is not that way. Proverbs 10:22 says the blessing of the Lord makes rich and He adds no sorrow with it.
You must know today who your real enemy is. It’s the devil – he’s the one who comes to steal, kill and destroy. So instead of you crying and begging God, bind that devil that’s trying to steal from you. Tell him to take his hands off what God has given you right now, in Jesus’ Name! Then begin to declare that your child is healed, your family is protected, your job or business is prospering… in the Name of Jesus!
