 Thig leaves will not remove poison Thig leaves will not remove poison when Adam and Eve ate the food poison They did what everyone would do when they get food poison. They tried to look for a cure. They didn't go to God for a cure because God is holy and And God does not have in his cabinet any cure For sin because there is no sin in heaven. They thought There is no God never had any experience with that You know sometimes when I have a little problem or if you have a little problem you call your parents You say mom and dad. Did you ever have a same problem? You know if you're a young lady and you're pregnant, you know, you ask your mom You ask somebody who had the same delivery. I mean Mariana, you know, she's pregnant. She's gonna be Delivering soon. She's not gonna come to me and say Vlad, you know any tips on delivery It's foolish. Yeah, and she's not gonna ask Ilya for tips He has experience but with a lot of other things but not with this and Sometimes we feel like when we sin, it's kind of like coming to God asking for help But he has no experience with sin. How can he help me and the first thing we do? We don't go to him because going to God when you make a mistake. It's like going to a police station when you stole a car You just don't there's a few things you don't do and that's one of them And Adam and Eve felt like we can't go to God because he has no experience with sin We've never heard a stories of people disobeying and making it alive Satan didn't work well for him That's why he's crawling here. And so we are we got to find a way to fix ourselves And so they find themselves they find this fig leaves But the fig leaves are so thin the fig leaves are so fragile the fig leaves are so So weak that even after they put him on they still felt so ashamed and still felt so scared that the Bible says they hit themselves From God No wonder when Jesus came on this earth one of the things Jesus cursed being on this earth is fake fig tree Because it's been humanity's self medication Fig leaves for some people fig leaves is a bottle of whiskey for some people fig leaves It's time. They say if I could only get some just time will heal all my wounds for some people fig leaves is marriage. I Think though all the abuse I had in my life that someone will fix it for some people fig leave is a religion if I can Only commit to go to church every week It will make all of my problems go away Everyone has fig leaves and it's not as strange when you feel ashamed when you feel in sin when you feel down You always look for your fig leaf for some people. It's a movie. It helps you to zone out For some people it's working out you get lost and you you feel that pain and you push through you see the results and it keeps She helps you to keep confident every person has their fig leaf and fig leaf is sometimes not a bad thing It just doesn't work Just doesn't work And Adam and Eve had their fig leaves. They they put them on and it did not work When God came They found them with fig leaves. He brought them out. He said guys. What happened? Why are you feeling so scared? Why are you feeling so shy? What happened a few days ago? You're running around butt naked. Everything was fine. I'm not ashamed of you. I Don't hate you. I don't think you're You're discussing. I made you. I love you. There's nothing wrong with you. What what is And the first thing God said, what did you eat? The moment he saw people feeling bad. He always asked them What was their diet? Your feelings are the right result of your eating Did you eat of that thing that I told you not to eat and Adam quickly says no it's her and she says no you don't get the point I'm not trying to blame you here. We're trying to find the problem so that we can cure it And you're here shifting the blame on one another when you want Genesis 3 21 says the following I'm gonna read it to you right now Also for Adam and his wife the Lord made tunics of skin and Clothes them one of the things that really has helped me Is to know that Adam and Eve When they sinned and committed mistake and they felt like they disappointed God and they disappointed themselves that God had already tunics of skin in the closet So that you don't think I'm bluffing Revelations 3 8 says the following All who dwell on the earth will worship him whose names were not written in the book of life of the lamb Who was slain from foundations of the world One Peter 120 he indeed was Four ordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifested in these last times for you You know what this means Before God made the foundations of the world He already had Jesus as an option if we fall he will die Adam's mistake Didn't catch God out of surprise The code was already in the closet See Adam felt like there was nobody here on this earth and God will not understand And if he will understand he will not know what to do with me because he's never had an experience with sin He never had an experience to do with what I just done and Adam did not know that God in his closet did not have a rifle He had a coat And the Bible says when Adam was leaving God put that coat on him and in the New Testament It tells us before the foundations of the earth Jesus Christ was already slain that means that he was already Ready to go see in case these people will sin because they are capable of singing I will die for them God didn't just make you perfect God made he made Away When you won't be He made allowance He didn't expect or anticipate He didn't make a mistake in our DNA to cause us to sin He gave us the free choice and he knows with free choice comes a great Responsibility and the we could slip and fall he knew the capabilities of us to make mistakes He knew it's within our reach and he knew that I am going to make a way just in case they do I will have a coat in the closet And then he looks from heaven and he sees you're looking for a leaf You need to know God has a coat God has a coat of Tunic, you know tunic of skin Tunic of skin, this is the first time an animal was killed in the Bible It wasn't killed by a human looking for food. It was killed by God looking for clothes a lamb that was slain before the foundation of the earth This is the time what a lamb was slain probably physically By God not for food of humans, but for the clothing of humans See when a cow gives milk the cow does not lose life But when a certain animal gives its fur for your clothing for your garment that animal has to lose its life By giving you something to wear That's exactly what happened with Jesus on the cross. He gave you his Where his righteousness so he had to die so you can wear that skin of his God has it in his closet There's a story in the Bible that really resonates that for me. It's the story of a father and two sons This father was getting old and whether he had a doctor's report that he was dying We don't know but he was nearing his death and he decided to gather both of his sons and divide his money with them his money with It wasn't their money. He was dividing it was his money Imagine you working as a hard-working person. You have your 401k or you have your ratha Whatever you have for your retirement. You have a lot of money. You've got properties You got cars and at the end of your life. You're not dead yet But before your death you decide to kind of you know split your inheritance amongst your kids now It's your stuff and he divides his inheritance between his kids because one of the kids came to him and said dad I know you're not dead yet. I Want your stuff You could have a hurdy up To die would have been better, but you seem not to die So can I get you stuff before you die? What if you don't die? Imagine an insult you get if one of your kids loves your stuff more than your life Your stuff the ones you work so hard for Our kids like we have five of us. We will never be able to do to our parents If we come and say mom and dad, we know you still got a lot of years on you But that house that you have that car that you have could you split it among us? You would see us in jail You're not gonna see me driving my parents car because they will say this is our stuff You go get your own stuff, but this dad Looks at his literally forgive me stupid son And instead of giving him a slap in the face as you stupid I don't know what I would track train tracks you came up, but you're crazy I'm alive, and I'm not giving you my car because you're over here decided to have my stuff You're getting nothing, but this dad gives him I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't be able to do that God does Gives us the free choice Knowing we could turn against him. No, we can give him a middle finger Knowing we can turn her back and see I don't want to do nothing with you And he'll still let the son come every morning just for you The very ones who will turn their backs and say I don't want to do nothing with you God leave me alone I wish you wouldn't exist and God says you wouldn't exist either But because I'm so good. I still let you exist Imagine that love some people think that God's love is the fact that God let Jesus down across God's love is the fact God let you live Imagine How much I mean we committed treason and God still let's us have good days Still let's rain come upon upon our crops still let's son come upon us See let's us have breath and everything and God this father lets his son go away with all of his inheritance Though he's hurting him embarrassing him ruining his reputation. He still lets him do that and this son The interesting part he wastes all of that money and finds out my dad is still not dead Imagine the dilemma It's one thing if you wasted the money and he's dead You could come back and say well he died. I wasted his stuff. Let's start all over But you come back home realizing all of the things he worked for all his life He's not even dead and you wasted that imagine the shame Imagine the guilt I wouldn't be able to come back to you But there being there inside of that big pin wasted everything knowing dad is still alive He says I will go and I'm not gonna ask to be his son I'm not gonna ask for anything because while I wasted all of my portion. He said my dad is so good He loved me when I was at my stupid He will accept me to work for him And he makes his way to his dad He knew his dad had a coat Hanging in the closet He comes and the bible says the first words come out of his mouth is that I am not worthy to be your son And his dad stops him there The reason why he stops him is because you're not worthy You're not a son because of worth you are a son because of your birth He says son no no no no no no no no you don't become a son by worth and you don't lose being son by worth It has to do with the birth and you are my son. He embraces him. He brings a coat They bring a ring on him and the bible says they throw a party And when the older son was mad and not happy he looked at him and he says my son Used to be dead when he had all the money Now when he stings like a pig He's alive
