Word of the Day
Beloved, I walked with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day every day. They walked within the breath of the morning free, unhindered and unashamed. Their very beings were permeated with My essence. They were in complete resonance with Me…tuned into the very vibrations of My being as every breeze carried My essence.
When I said I walked with them it is not as you think it means to day. Walking with them was an intuitive oneness…and ever awareness of each other…a mutual desire and longing for one another’s company in order for complete fulfillment being realized.
One day I came to walk with them as I had many other days to find them hiding for they had been approached by the enemy and .believed a lie. They believed a lie about Me and when I came to walk with them they were hidden in shame.
I called to Adam and said, “Where are you?” I knew where he was and I knew what had happened but he didn’t really know. All he knew was he had disobeyed and that he was afraid and ashamed. He did not know why he was naked…he did not know the depth of grace and mercy contained in My heart, nor was he aware of His great need for it…or what it meant. In My mercy I drove them from the garden so they might not eat from the tree of life and live forever in their sin…in their nakedness. Sometimes mercy doesn’t always look like what you think it should…what can look like devastation can be protection. Selah
Yes, I knew where he was, but he didn’t. And, just like a natural father whose child has gone astray cries out to know where the child he once knew loved him and valued relationship with him has gone…wonders who in the world has taken the place of the one he once knew in such intimate ways, I too cried out. I cried out to Adam, for I knew what was to come. I cried out because I knew things would not be the same. I cried out because I loved him.
When they left the garden, intimate communion in the cool of the day was lost to all mankind; but, when Jesus came, it became possible again to walk with Me in the resurrection power…to walk in My Son in whom I was and am well pleased to demonstrate the fullness of who I really am to you on a moment by moment basis.
In fact, I want to start right this moment…right where you are and breathe on the dust of your life and blow away all the unnecessary and the unprofitable. I want to shift things from one place to another until all is in alignment with My perfect plan…in line with My perfect garden for your life. Therefore, I am transforming all aspects of your life with the breath of My mouth as it speaks the words of My heart over you. No matter where you are, come and be with Me where the cool of the day always exist regardless of situation or circumstance. Come and walk with Me…Read Complete Love Letter
And 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 among the trees of the garden (Genesis 3:8)
Prayer
Oh Lord, how wonderful it is to be able to come boldly to the Throne of Grace where I am free, unhindered and unashamed because of the free gift of salvation given to me through the precious blood of Your Cross. I hear Your voice calling me…wooing me…calling me out of all the places where I hide from You. Take the fig leaves I have used to cover things I think I can hide from You in spite of the fact You have known me from the beginning of all time. You knew all I would do before I was ever born and came to love You. Nothing surprises you or causes you to forsake me.
Lord, my desire is to walk in oneness with You as Adam and Eve once did before the fall, in complete resonance with You. I desire to be tuned into the very vibration of your essence every second of the day. Tune my heart to beat in rhythm with Yours. I long for You in a dry and thirsty land for I know dust can be turned to glory. At times I may not sense Your being…might not sense Your Presence but I know You are near, even nigh unto my heart. My heart is reaching out to you…leaning toward You like a child on parade day stretching out his neck past all the people to see the beauty before him.
I long for Your company. I cherish my time with you with an ever-increasing desire to be aware of Your Presence in everything I do. I hear You calling, “Where are you?”
I hear you and I am responding with a heart of praise and adoration…with a mighty declaration, “I am here! I am here? I receive Your resurrection power. I receive Your grace. I am here. Have your way. Amen.
Reflect and Journal
- Thinking back to Adam and Eve, what do you think it means when the Word says God walked with them in the garden? How can you apply it to yourself in a personal way?
- Write down how you think Father God felt when Adam and Eve hid from Him in the garden and how it relates to you when you separate yourself from Him. He never forsakes us or breaks covenant. Those are things we do, not Him.
- Is there a difference in how you perceive what He might think about you and what He actually says according to His Word?
- Are you willing to let the Lord blow away all the unnecessary and unprofitable things in your life hindering your ability to have communion and fellowship with the Lord such as Adam and Eve once had in the garden? We originated in a garden. Maybe this is part of the reason people are always trying to go to the tropics, plant beautiful gardens or love the Rose Parade so much. We are always trying to get back to the garden in some way or other. Why not experience this longing by walking in the cool of our days with Him until all our dust is turned into glorious gardens? Take a Selah moment and write down your thoughts.
