Numerical Expositions: Genesis 3:11

And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked?  Hast thou eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

-- Gen. 3:11 (KJV)

The consequence of sin is paranoia.  After the sin was committed, man became self-conscious and began to dwell upon their inadequacies instead of focusing upon God.  To be less self-conscious in an indulgent society, the key is to go back to doing what God has commanded for you to do.  In this case, do not eat what you are not supposed to eat.

Numerical Analysis:  The numerical pattern for this verse is 3,2,5,1.  (3) To stay in the Spirit, listen to His voice.  (2) To be delivered, do not focus upon your own shortcomings.  (5) To stay in God's presence, obey His commands.  (1) To stay in the anointing, obey God's commands.
