My dearly beloved, I trust that all of you are happy in the Lord. Let us all glorify our God together.

We must all meditate the word of God carefully during these days. Do not be careless and sleep during these days. Be watchful always and pray.

A law has come out in countries that God’s churches have to be forcibly closed. My dearly beloved, I trust that all of you are listening to God’s message daily. I trust that you are reading God’s word and meditating on it daily. Be extremely watchful, walk according to the word of God, Pray. Redeem the time.

What is the condition of God’s church – (Garden of Eden) now? Are you thinking regarding this?

Genesis 3: 22 – 24 says - Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”—

therefore, the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.

So, He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

What we understand from this is that – Adam and Eve were created in the image of God as mentioned in Genesis 1: 27 - So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

The serpent came into the garden and cunningly deceived them. As they were deceived, it convinced them to eat the fruit that God had forbidden them to eat. They also transgressed against the law of God, obeyed the words of the serpent and ate the fruit. She plucked it, ate it and gave her husband. He also ate it.

What God said in Genesis 2: 16, 17 - And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;

but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

But in Genesis 3: 4, 5 - Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.

For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Therefore, in Genesis 3: 6 - So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

In this manner, the devil deceives the garden of God -which is each one of our hearts. Therefore, we do the things that God has forbidden us to do according to our lusts and collect transgression in our hearts. So just as Adam and Eve were sent out from the garden, He has sent us also out from the garden and kept it under his protection

What do we understand from this? If we do what God hates like lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh we cannot eat the fruit of the tree of life. But all God’s people are walking according to their lusts, living according to their hearts desire and eating the fruit. This fruit is Jesus Christ’s body and blood. This fruit is what protects us from not dying eternally. As everyone has been using it carelessly, God has closed his garden, protected it and sent us (If our soul is stuck to the ground) to till the ground.

Genesis 3:23 - therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.

Adam is our old man, the new man is our Christ. Our old sinful man should be properly put away and we must put on the new man.

May the Lord bless you all through these words. May the Lord bless you all and keep you in peace. Amen.
