When Adam and Eve ate from the tree of life, they gained knowledge of how to create evil. This is the same knowledge that is applied by rulers of darkness of this age, in the spirit to create an atmosphere of unholyness. They are the pictures you would get, for anybody that ever asked God to reveal a persons spirit to you, if they are sons of wickedness.
There is a formula in the creation of evil or wickedness. Which works, the arisen ruler over the spirit of man, the flesh does commit in men. Note: This same flesh is dead in believers, giving them power over sin, BUT it can arise by indulgence in evil, or in fellowship - partaking in the power that comes with the presence of evil spirits( why you don't let everybody lay their hands on you) . Or in may be seasonal. Paul describes one such power as a thorn in the flesh,
2 Corinthians 12:7 |
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
So its possible to remain saved even when the flesh arises. It arises to war with the spirit, being predisposed to evil.
How Men Sin: The Process,
The first step is rebellion. Rebellion against anything that qualifies as righteousness. Against God, which comes in the form of blasphemy, disobedience (basically any unrighteous act) etc.
Second, the glory of God, which both the cherub and the man were in literal terms, was desecrated by the two, being converted into a "vain" glory. This done by a lot of vain, (unexplained useless activity with no gain) indeed all activities that may be described as "sin" or " wickedness". It includes sensless, meanigless, pointless activities. They are just done to convert glory into a presence that is evil...
Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
So vanity desecrates glory. And our spirit realm , where the rulers of this world dwell is mostly vain (You will experience running to and fro with no purpose, talking with no direction or meaning, lying about useless things, sexual immorality, filth, etc - these are the things you will see in most dreams in which the presence of God is absent.)
That is how iniquity, even now, fills the earth. Both man and the fallen Angel/ cherub (devil) know when they convert the beautiful glory of God into a vain thing, an iniquity.
