The Weekly Word with Dr. Dowe: Don't Give Up!

“The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. But the Lord God warned him, You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden but DO NOT eat of the tree of Knowledge of good and evil…” - Genesis 2:15-16 (NLT Verson)

God wants a meaning relationship with you similarly to the relationship God had with Adam and Eve written in Genesis.

Scary huh? Does your nature and character allow you to make difficult choices easily? Or, Do you stress out? All I can tell you is read Psalms 8. Don’t let stuff ruffle your feathers. If you believe, “God has elevated you to make you a little lower than God, crowned you with glory and honor” and made you to elevate to operate from heavenly places through Christ Jesus (Psalms 8:5 and Ephesians 2:6).
