Bible Study #3 Testimony

I want to start out by saying "Welcome Back," it is truly a blessing to know that the Lord lead you back to this Bible Study Blog Post once again. I want to apologize for last week's technical difficulties. All of the content that we uploaded did not get published, so there were some pieces missing. But, we are back up and running, and I thank God for giving us a new strategy on how to handle publishing content in the future. But, before I began I want to pray with you.

Dear Lord, Our Creator, and the Mastermind of our existence. We humble ourselves before you and We lay every weight aside. We ask that if we have done anything wrong against you that you would forgive us of our sins, iniquities, and our trespasses. We ask that you clean and purge us of all unrighteousness for your namesake, that we might be living vessels of your holy doctrine. We offer ourselves to you as living sacrifices, and we lay side every sin that so easily besets us. We offer the fruits of our lips to you in praise and thanksgiving, and we thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for His unfailing Love toward Us. We give you all the glory and honor in Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Okay..tonight!! I want to stay in the beginning of time, as we were last week. But I want to throw a nugget or two in the mix. I want to talk to you about the testimony, as it refers to the beginning. The word of God is amazing in that it breaks every yolk of bondage, and as believers we know this to be true because we offer our own testimony to it. But, that being said I want to elaborate on the testimony. And as we look in scripture where do we see the first testimony given? Well look in your bible with me in Genesis 2:23. In this particular bible verse you have the writer stating what Adam said. And as you read what Adam said, you know that He was testifying to something that He did not physically see with His own natural eyes. He did not see where the woman came from yet He knew. The bible states that Adam was in a deep sleep...so how was Adam able to testify to God not knowing anything or feeling anything? As I have journeyed through the word of God I have discovered that God makes Himself readily available to whomever wants Him. The scriptures state that if you seek me you shall find me. And this is the God honest truth. The more you seek God; He makes Himself available, giving you wisdom and knowledge in your pursuit.

But, to continue in our learning..We see through scripture in Genesis 1:26 that the word of the Lord says that God created us in His image and in His likeness, and we know that scripture also states that God is a Spirit, and wherever the Lord is there is liberty. Now this is amazing information that helps us to understand how Adam being a physical person, yet created in the image of His God could have known what He did. As the scriptures of the Most Holy one tells us in the days of Abraham that there is no good thing will the Lord withhold from us. And being that the woman coming from the man is God’s creativeness, He did not withhold the information from Adam. He told Adam by showing Him spiritually.

Please remember we have two sets of eyes. We have eyes that we use in the natural world that God created, and we have another pair of eyes that enables us to see spiritually. The bible tells us that when the rich man was casted into the pit of hell that he lifted up his eyes, and saw Lazarus in the bosom of Abraham. See you next week....before you leave refer as many people as you possibly can to read our bible study blog post, so that the word of God can come alive in others, not just ourselves. Until next week, May the blessings of our God overwhelm you. EBH
