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 Expositions: Genesis 3:10

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

-- Gen. 3:10 (KJV)

After the sin was committed, Adam turned away from God and hid because he was ashamed.  The shame of the past can cause a person to no longer take heed to the Word of God.  Do not allow what you have done in the past to paralyze you in your relationship with God.  Do not be afraid to do what God tells you to do.

You do not need to be ashamed to turn to God even though you have made mistakes in the past.  God sees everything that you do anyway, so you might as well leave the past in the past and continue to move forward.  When you choose to move forward, then your relationship with God will no longer be hindered.

Numerical Expositions: Genesis 3:9

And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

-- Gen. 3:9 (KJV)

After Adam disobeyed the command from God, Adam went to hide.  Instead of giving up on mankind, God decided to look for Him.  When we lose our bearings in life, then do not hide.  Look to get back on track.  There is nothing to be ashamed of because everyone makes mistakes.

Numerical Analysis:  The numerical pattern for this verse is 3,9.  (3) To stay in the Spirit, realize that He has called for you to do something upon this earth.  (9) To overturn evil, listen to what God says to you.

Numerical Expositions: Genesis 3:8

And they heard the voice 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 amongst the trees of the garden.

-- Gen. 3:8 (KJV)

After Adam and Eve committed the first sin, they were ashamed to be around God.  Doing the wrong things will hinder you in your spiritual relationship with God.  There's no need to be ashamed around the Lord God because we all make mistakes.  Look at the first part of this verse again.  The Lord God was the One initiating the conversation in this verse.  He wants to spend time with you.  Stop making excuses that limit your level of spirituality.

Many people wonder how they could achieve more access to the presence of God.  Well, this verse unlocks a mystery that was pretty easy to solve.  Notice that the first phrase of the verse states "voice of the Lord God" while the second phrase of this verse states "presence of the Lord God."

Voice = Presence.

To experience more of God's presence within your life, you must take the time to listen to His voice.  Listen to His words.  Read His Word.  Recite His Word because His voice equals His presence.

Numerical Analysis:  The numerical pattern for this verse is 3,8,2.  (3) To stay in the realm of the Spirit, listen to His voice.  (8) To have a new beginning in God, choose not to hide from His presence.  (2) To be delivered, choose not to run from the presence of God.

Numerical Expositions: Genesis 3:7

And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

-- Gen. 3:7 (KJV)

The moral of this verse is very simple.  When the focus turns away from God, then a person will begin to focus upon his or her own insecurities.  Notice that Adam and Eve made clothes in order to cover their inadequacies.  Do not allow for materialism to cause for you to become a disillusioned person.  If you cover up your flaws, then you will never fix them.

Numerical Analysis:  The numerical pattern for this verse is 3,7,1.  (3) Stay in the Spirit so that your vision does not become locked in upon depravity.  (7) To be complete, do not focus upon your own inadequacies.  (1) To follow God, do not attempt to cover up your flaws.

Numerical Expositions: Genesis 3:6

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

-- Gen. 3:6 (KJV)

How could Adam and Eve do the only thing that they were not supposed to do?  Notice the progression that is within this verse.  The incorrect focus led to the desire to do wrong.  Realize that your eyes are the key to your future.  You will do whatever you focus upon.  If you want to do something in life that will impact others in a positive fashion, then you need to focus upon the topic of positivity.

Numerical Analysis:  The numerical pattern for this verse is 3,6,9.  (3) To stay in the Spirit, do not allow for your focus to stray.  (6) To expose evil, realize that something is not good solely because it looks good.  (9) To overturn evil, do not take shortcuts when you are seeking after wisdom.

Numerical Expositions: Genesis 3:5

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

-- Gen. 3:5 (KJV)

The devil was quick to capitalize on the lack of commitment towards God's command given to man in regards to eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.  The devil tricked the woman by making the scenario seem like that she was missing out on something.  That's the same trick that he uses now; the deceiver tries to make it seem like God is holding out on you.

However, that persuasiveness should not influence you.  The things that the devil claimed the woman would have were the things that God had already given to mankind.  Knowing your identity is the key to not caving in to the devil because the devil will attempt to offer you things such as power, enlightenment, authority, and knowledge which are things that God has already given you when you choose to believe in the Lord.  Never go for the shortcut that the devil offers.

Numerical Analysis:  The numerical pattern for this verse is 3,5,8.  (3) To stay in the Spirit, realize that you can never put limitations upon how much He knows.  (5) Stay in God's presence in order to receive enlightenment.  (8) Choose to have a new beginning in God in order to have authority.
