The Exile
Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”— therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken.
As we review the curses that came upon the man and the woman because of the Fall, we see that the struggle of the woman would be in bringing forth her family. The struggle of the man would be with his work. In general, the great gifts that women have been given are relational. In general, the primary gifts men have been given are in regard to their work. Women tend to be people-oriented, and men tend to be task-oriented. This needs to be understood so we can relate to one another, and become the teams that we were created to be.
These are generalizations about men and women, and generalizations are seldom always true. Almost all men are to some degree relational, and people-oriented, and some may be even more so than some women. Almost all women are also to some degree task-oriented, and some are even more so than many men. Even so, generally, women are more relational, and men are more task-oriented because God made us this way. Therefore, it takes a marriage of both gifts for the ultimate accomplishments in life.
Without this marriage, we will tend to have many great things built or accomplished that no one needs or wants. Or we can have great relationships that do not accomplish anything. For this reason, many of the great ministries and churches that are raised up strictly by the leadership of men may be huge and expansive, but fail to really build the family of God. The church is called to be a family first, not an organization. When we cease to be a family to just become an organization, we have ceased to be the church. However, if we go to the other extreme, we can have a great big family that does not accomplish anything for the kingdom.
Today @ 2:06p.m is the new moon
- The new moon is the gate of entry into the seventh lunar season. It is a Sabbath month of rest.
- This is a time of worship unto the Lord because it is a new moon and a Sabbath month together, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. (Ezekiel 46:3 ; Is 66:23 ; Ps 96:9)
- Command the moon to receive instruction only from the Lord and from Kingdom citizens to fulfill only the purpose which the Lord created it for in this season Pray that the moon shall reject the incantations, prognostications and manipulation from any other ungodly source.
- The new moon is the shape of a sickle and those in the kingdom of darkness use this as Hecate’s sickle to harvest the gains of the ignorant. Pray that Jehovah\’s angel will use his sickle to reap them and cast them into the place of judgment Rev. 14:19-20.
