Your Own Private Eden

We are not here/alive/on earth for ourselves. When we get a hold of this revelation alone, we will see greater manifestations of the miraculous power of the HOLY GOD in our lives and in the lives of others.

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. (Genesis 2.15)

~~~

[Keep in mind that just as we were created in HIM (JESUS CHRIST),
wo-man was created in the man.]


We have been mercifully put here (and left here) as caretakers of GOD'S Garden...the Garden of Eden (the Garden of LIFE).

A man is responsible (by the leading of the HOLY SPIRIT) for hearing from GOD and carrying out HIS Plans. He is responsible for reclaiming territory and establishing a holy legacy in the earth. Why? Because GOD created him for this purpose. Ideally, a man's legacy starts with and continues to/through his family.

A man's wife (his wo-man; the one created specifically from and for him) is responsible (also by the leading of the HOLY SPIRIT) for nurturing and supporting the man, for the purpose of upholding the legacy of GOD established through her husband. Why? Because this is what GOD created her to do.

It is, all at once, both a lateral and progressive relationship. There is great order in it, and yet there must be because GOD is order.

Together, male and female (a man and his wife) are guardians of the slice of the Garden of GOD'S Life that has been assigned to them. Every marriage should abide it its own private Eden.

As the BRIDE of CHRIST, we are guardians of the LIFE of GOD.

HE has made available to us HIS Life Flow, WHO is the HOLY SPIRIT -- The LIVING WATER of the LIVING, and very alive, ALMIGHTY GOD. This MIGHTY RIVER flows to, through, and proceeds from of the Garden of GOD bringing life.

GOD cannot be present and life not exist. It is HIS NAME -- HIS NAME is LIFE. It is HIS CHARACTER. It is HIS Composition. Life is the DNA of GOD. Life cannot now nor will it ever proceed from any other force or source.

A man and his wife bring forth the fruit of GOD (children) through their marriage. They must, then, continue the legacy of the Kingdom in every aspect of their marriage so that the glory of GOD can be revealed in their children.

The modern-day church has, for too long, been mired down in its own selfishness and short-sightedness. If we were as concerned about our children, each other (as far as humans go) and most importantly, about the PERSON, CHARACTER, NATURE, and DESIRE of GOD, all of the issues we "struggle" with would fall away. They would have no choic
e but to do so; we are, after all, married to THE WORD of LIFE.
