THE ORIGIN OF THE SPIRIT OF FEAR

GENESIS 3:2 TPT

But the woman interrupted, “—We may eat the fruit of any tree in the garden,

GENESIS 3:3 TPT

except the tree in the center of the garden.

GOD TOLD US, ‘Don’t eat its fruit, or even touch it, or you’ll die.’”

GENESIS 2:16-17 TPT

And YAHWEH-GOD COMMANDED him, “You may freely eat of every fruit of the garden.

But you MUST NOT EAT of the Tree that gives the knowledge of good and evil, for WHEN you EAT from it you will most certainly DIE.”

GENESIS 3:4 TPT

But the SNAKE SAID to her, “You certainly won’t die.

GENESIS 3:5 TPT

God knows that the moment you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”

GENESIS 3:6 TPT

WHEN the woman SAW that

• the TREE produced delicious fruit,

• delightful to look upon, and

• desirable to give one insight, she took its fruit and ate it.

She gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he also ate it.

GENESIS 3:7 TPT

Immediately, their eyes were opened, and they REALIZED they were naked, vulnerable, and ashamed;

so they sewed fig leaves together for coverings.

GENESIS 3:8 TPT

Then Adam and his wife heard the SOUND of Yahweh-God PASSING THROUGH the garden in the breeze of the day.

So, they HID among the trees concealing themselves from the face of Yahweh-God.

GENESIS 3:8 TPT

Then Yahweh-God called ADAM’S NAME and asked,

“WHERE ARE YOU?”

GENESIS 3:10 TPT

Adam answered, “I heard your powerful presence moving in the garden, and I was AFRAID because I was NAKED;

so I HID.”

AFRAID  because

• NAKED

> HID

GENESIS 3:11 TPT

“WHO TOLD YOU that you were naked?”

God said.

“Did you eat the fruit of the tree that I commanded you not to eat?”

GENESIS 3:12 TPT

Adam pointed to the woman and said, “The woman you placed alongside me—she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

GENESIS 3:13 TPT

So Yahweh-God said to THE WOMAN,

“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?”

The woman pointed to the snake and said,

“The shining snake tricked me, and I ate.”

GENESIS 3:14 TPT

YAHWEH-GOD then SAID to the snake,

“Because you have done this, you are cursed above every wild animal, CONDEMNED above every creature of the field!

You will slither on your belly and EAT DUST all the days of your life!

GENESIS 3:15 TPT

And I will place great hostility between you and the woman, and between HER SEED and yours.

He will crush your head as you crush his heel.”

GENESIS 3:16 TPT

Then God said to the woman,

“I will cause your labor pains in childbirth to be intensified;

with pain you will give birth to children.

You will desire to dominate your husband, but he will want to dominate you.”

GENESIS 3:17 TPT

And TO ADAM he said,

“Because you OBEYED your wife INSTEAD of ME, and you ATE from the forbidden tree when I HAD COMMANDED you NOT TO,

• the GROUND will be cursed because of you.

You will eat of it through painful toil all the days of your life.

GENESIS 3:18 TPT

It will sprout weeds and thorns, and you will eat the plants of the field.

GENESIS 3:19 TPT

You will PAINFULLY TOIL and sweat to produce food to eat, until your body—taken from the ground—returns to the ground.

For you are from dust, and to dust you will return.”

GENESIS 3:20 TPT

The man named his wife Eve—“Life-Giver,” because she would become the mother of every human being.

GENESIS 3:21 TPT

Yahweh-God made garments from animal skins to clothe Adam and Eve.

GENESIS 3:22 TPT

And Yahweh-God said, “The man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil.

And now he might take in his hands fruit from the Tree of Life, and eat it, and live forever.”

GENESIS 3:23 TPT

Therefore, Yahweh-God expelled him from Eden’s paradise to till the ground from which he was taken.

GENESIS 3:24 TPT

He drove them out of the garden, and placed fearsome angelic sentries east of the garden of Eden, with a turning FIERY SWORD to guard the way to the Tree of Life.

HEBREWS 10:19-20 NKJV

Therefore, brethren, having BOLDNESS to ENTER the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,

HEBREWS 10:19-20 TPT

And now we are brothers and sisters in God’s family because of the blood of Jesus, and he welcomes us to come into the most holy sanctuary in the heavenly realm—BOLDLY and WITHOUT HESITATION.

For he has dedicated a NEW, LIFE-GIVING WAY for us to APPROACH GOD.

For just as the veil was torn in two, Jesus’ body was torn open to give us FREE and FRESH ACCESS to HIM!

HEBREWS 10:19-20 ICB

So, brothers, we are completely free to enter the Most Holy Place.

We can do this WITHOUT FEAR because of the blood of Jesus’ death.

We can enter through a new way that Jesus opened for us.

It is a living way.

It leads through the curtain—Christ’s body.
