Adam has his relationship with God Adam loses the glory of God Adam gets food poisoned his feelings
change he begins to not like himself he covers himself with fake leaves but they don't work
because he's still hiding Genesis chapter 3 verse 9. I want you to go there with me the bible says
Genesis chapter 3 and verse in fact verse 8
and when they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day
and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God from the trees
of the garden then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him what have you done
give us the next verse but the Lord God called to Adam and said how have you done that
watch what God said where are you Adam
this is such a powerful truth in the cool of the day as usual God would meet with Adam this day the
time after the fall it was no different God showed up in the cool of the day to meet at the same
place he met before knowing perfectly Adam ate the wrong fruit God watched it in hd definitions with
all the angels with their mouths open in slow mo they've rewinded that footage at least 100 times
how could they have done this i'm pretty sure they looked at the Holy Spirit and Jesus says oh
come on you gotta be kidding me this would have been a good moment for God to look
at his calendar and the next day when he's showing up to to hang out with Adam in the
cool of the day to click cancel not available i'm making other humans on the other planets
who hopefully will do better than you God shows up at the same time as he always did and when he's
walking in the cool of the day the only question God has is Adam where are you why aren't you here
you think God will say Adam how could you
what did i not give you why did you do it
why did you believe the lie of the enemy that's not the question got asked i believe
it's the same question that God is asking today Adam where are you why aren't you here well
i blew it God i watch stuff i promise you at the conference that i'll never watch in fact
i was on the stage and said it there's a video footage on youtube god I blew it God I'm ashamed
so did you not know that in revelation it says the lamb was slain before the foundations of the earth
did you know though God did not predestine Adam to fall he for knew Adam would fall
and God already had a plan to have a lamb slain before Adam was made did you know that there is
no mistake that you can make that God did not already have a solution for Adam where are you
if you commit secret sin do not stop going to your secret place
your only solution to recover from the sin that you've fallen maybe the burden that has crushed
you maybe the challenge that is currently weighing you down is to run to God not to hide from God and
hoping you can cleanse yourself get yourself ready do some good works to out balance the bad and
then you'll be able to come to God and say Lord i already paid my penance I already paid for my sin
i am ready to resume a relationship my friend you can never clean a dirty car with a dirty rag
there is only one way to have a relationship with God it is not to give to charity or even
a mission trip it is through the blood of Jesus Christ when you have fallen if you have eaten
with something you should have not eaten touch something you should have never touched look
that's something you promised to yourself and others i will never look and you feel disgusted
and you feel guilty run to God because he is there already God never canceled the appointment
God never canceled the meeting God never canceled and God is not going to be there like your father
and say how could you we gave you a car we told you not to hang out with old friends
we told you that's what's going to happen maybe you're thinking that's what god is going to do
God's question to you is Adam where are you my son died for that which you are ashamed
of my spirit is here to sanctify you of that that you are bound by by why are you not here
why are you not in church why are you not at your prayer time
my friend God is inviting you to the secret place even if you have fallen into a secret sin
this truth is what will sustain your prayer life i'm not giving your license to sin
i'm giving you power to overcome it because when you come to God in Isaiah 1 it says this come to
me and let's reason together if your sins are like scarlet i'll make him as wool if they are like
crimson i'll make them as white as snow when you come to God in the midst of your insecurity when
you come to God in the midst of your addiction when you come to God in the midst of your sin
like a sinful woman who broke her heart tears rolled down her eyes and
as she washed the feet of Jesus with her tears he washed her heart with his blood
there was a dinner when men eat never interrupt a man from eating you just don't want to do
that I heard somebody say Amen you got it when the man eats his steak or whatever you
don't let the men finish except Jesus he eats in the presence of other men and the woman with
a reputation and a rap record bigger than yours who is this the bible says a sinner in other words
she's a prostitute she touched men for a living she looked like a prostitute she smelled like
a prostitute everybody knew her in the city and this man sneaks in has the boldness the audacity
she's just ate the wrong stuff she did the wrong stuff and she pushes through to Jesus and not only
she comes like a like a good Christian girl and say Jesus Messiah forgive me she begins to touch
his feet what if she's seducing him how does that look what if somebody takes a photo and post it
online Jesus repetition will go down the toilet and Jesus instead of guarding his reputation
he's letting the broken tears of a sinful woman fall on the pure feet because Jesus knows
there's only one way this dirty woman will be clean if she touches my clean feet if her dirty
hands does not touch my holiness this woman stands no chance and as tears begin to roll down his feet
people begin to judge him and jesus doesn't touch her says don't touch me let's see you afterwards
you see a meeting you see there's other man Jesus let her touch his feet
then this process goes on it irritates everybody because he takes her long hair it's not covered
and begins to wash his feet and Jesus looks at her and says your sins are many but they're forgiven
sustaining relationship with God is not living sinless life it's running to God
in spite of your sin and then you will sin less we all fall short of the glory of God
sometimes we fall short in big things sometimes we fall short of small things
sometimes we have certain bondages that we carry sometimes we carry certain burdens sometimes we
have certain oppressions sometimes some kind of a weird thing comes on as some kind of a depression
that comes in but i want to encourage you today do not hide in your bushes run to God because
God is asking right now Nelly where are you Sam where are you why have i had not seen you
you're like well God in my college so what well God you don't understand i fell in love so what
God says where are you he wants you to come out of your bushes come out of your fake leaves
medicating yourself numbing yourself instead of nurturing yourself relaxing instead of resting
and God says come to me tell me everything that happened tell me everything that's on your soul
be honest with me you trust me trust me with your sin trust me with your pain trust me with
your doubt trust me with your confusion trust me with your hurt i will cleanse you i will
wash you i will lead you to repentance and your life will never be the same let's rise
precious Holy Spirit i thank you for your word and i thank you for your presence
I thank you that you love us deeply I thank you for the cross
that not only saves us but it sanctifies us and God I thank you that we're all insecure we're
all inferior we're all proud we're all selfish we all have idols that don't have buddha bellies but
God they have other stuff and then we hide them sometimes we sanctify them and Father I pray for
every young person right now that is in this room who's like Adam naked and ashamed i pray for those
who are hiding in the bushes right now who feel that Christianity is boring who feel that they're
just bound by certain bondage a certain guilt and condemnation that you will judge them and they're
afraid to come to you I pray for a change of heart as John is gonna sing if you're in this room
and you're fighting chronic insecurity and as i was speaking you realize your food poisoned
you realize the feelings that you have it's because of what you're obsessed with and it's
not Jesus I'm not doubting you Christianity I'm just doubting your focus and today you realize I
want God to heal my focus i want God to restore me i don't want him to fix my tummy my lips and
my skill set and make him more athletic and more attractive though i want God to fix my heart today
i want you to quickly run to the front if you are here as well and you're saying i backslid from God
i did something and i abandoned my prayer life i abandoned my secret place i'm hiding in bushes of
boredom i am bound by certain sins and i feel as you are speaking i feel the voice of God saying
he mentioned your name and he said where are you where are you come
come the rest of you i want you to begin to lift your hands lift your heart forget about who's
standing next to you this is not a show this is not a concert this is a meeting with Yahweh
this is a meeting with the one who died for you this is the meeting with the one who knew
your fault before you would fall and he had the lamb slain before the foundations of the earth
rip your fig leaves right now and ask him to cover you with a righteousness ask him to cover you with
his love ask him to cover you right now with his grace ask him to cover you with his holiness lay
your fig leaves your pretense your fakers in your mask lay all of that trying to prove something to
everybody try to fix this and fix that lay that down and break your idol at his feet and say God
I need you God I live for your pleasure God I live to please you not to win not to succeed not to be
better than others not even to do something special God i want to be pleasing to you
every eye closed fix your gaze on Jesus right now fix your gaze and Jesus not on somebody touching
you not on somebody praying for you but fix your gaze on Jesus as you break your idol God is really
gonna release intimacy right now as you lay your insecurity at his feet your shame your inferiority
I'm not good at this why did God allow this to happen why was i born this way
lay at his feet right now and as you do that you will see a flood of his love you will feel
a healing flow of his grace flowing through the broken pieces of your soul and restoring you
Holy Spirit i ask you that you will descend right now precious Holy Spirit if we can help us
pastoral team and teams right now let's just begin to lay hands up on their shoulder and just bless
them right now Holy Spirit I ask you that you will fall afresh Father I ask you that your spirit will
descend right now fresh on every teenager i pray for those who left their secret place hiding in
bushes hiding today God has some kind of a chain I pray that your cleansing will begin to come right

single yoke of inferiority already be broken in Jesus name every fear of a man every obsession with
self God every desire to develop self instead of deny yourself we lay at your feet right now God
