I Find Fault
God Drove Them Out

God is saying; “I find fault” repent! The spirit of Satan is loosed in the earth.

Genesis 3:22-24, and the Lord God said, behold the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever. Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden to till the ground from whence he was taken so he drove out the man, and he placed at the east of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword which turned every way to keep the way of the tree of life.

Remember Satan told Eve that God knew if they ate off the tree in the midst of the Garden that they would become as God, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:1-5, listen at how Satan manipulated man through the woman out of his rightful place with God. Satan spoke and she spoke back as Adam looked on and said nothing to remind he of what God had commanded them to do or not do. The Devil roaming around in the Garden ingratiated himself into a serpent that was taking a walk and minding its own business. Poor snake after Satan got through using him was cursed; not being able to walk anymore, but crawl on his belly for eternity. Satan brought about the curse that man was given also. They were cursed after they were found at fault of not obeying God. They lost the Paradise they lived in and God drove them out of where he had created for them. God had specifically made this Paradise for them to live happy forever.

What did happen? Surely it could not be that bad? Oh yes it can. Through our obedience comes forth blessings and through disobedience comes curses. When Eve ate, Adam watched. He knew what God had said but he also know that Eve ate and nothing happened so surely God had to be just talking. So when Eve gave Adam to eat he ate of the fruit. Almost immediately they realized they were naked, and God said man has become as one of us leaving their first love and the protection and comfort they felt with the Father in the eve of the day. It felt strange to them when they came before God, so they hid. Satan saw his way into their lives and he had deceived the first man and woman. Even today we have to listen when God speaks to us to do something no matter how crazy it seems or how unfair you may feel. We don’t serve God by how we feel. We serve by how well we can obey. When we do not obey God and listen to our spouses, children, friends, co-workers, or neighbors we cause them to go through changes God never intended them to. This is what caused the downfall of man’s dreams and visions. The Lord say today, I find fault; repent.

So far Satan not only tricked man into disobeying God but he also loosed sin in the life of man. Man sinned, then hid. When our sin finds us out the first thing we want to do is run and hide. They were robbed also of their offering to God. They were no longer able to speak to God open and without condemnation. Adam after being kicked out the Garden to keep the earth and till the ground got busy to get something to eat. Afterwards he could see the beauty of Eve’s body and he knew her, his wife and she conceived and bare Cain. She again conceived and bare his brother Abel and they grew. Abel kept the sheep and Cain tilled the ground. During the process of time, it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the Lord. And Abel he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering. But unto Cain and to his offering, he had not respect. God told Cain he had a problem with his offering, I find fault. Cain did not keep continuity in character, there were now imperfection and a defect. Cain was very wroth, he was mad. Now Cain’s countenance fell and God said unto Cain why have your countenance fallen? If thou doest well shall thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lie at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire and thou shall rule over him. And Cain talked with Abel his brother, and it came to pass, when they were in the field that Cain rose up against his brother, Abel and slew him. Why can’t we all just get along? Cain took on the spirit of Satan to destroy what was good and pleasing unto the Lord and he still work his demonic spirit in our lives today. Cain was envious of his brother’s offering. He got jealous of his brother became he had a more perfect offering. Soon Cain began to have malice in his heart toward his brother as he continued to please God. Then Cain lied when God asked him where was his brother. Cain was proud about what he had done until God brought his sin before him. Evil was birth forth in the first children of the earth.

Jealousy, lying, evil, envy, malice and all manner of sin is rampant in the earth today. Now Cain had more than evil spirits, he became a murderer. This spirit of murder Cain had is the open door Sa tan used to take Abel out. Now Cain had blood on his hands because he committed murder. Now after he did this evil you would think he would have repented; but he lied. Satan had complete rule in his life and God found fault and put the blame to the man that committed the act. And the Lord said unto Cain where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not. Am I my brothers keeper? And God said what hast thou done? The voice of thy
brother’s blood cries to me from the ground. Cain buried Abel but not knowing that he buried Abel’s flesh, not his spirit and soul. The flesh went back to the earth from whence God made man and the Spirit of man goes back to the Father in Heaven.

God found fault with Cain and even now he finds fault with the world. Because Cain committed murder he had a curse of the shed blood. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brothers blood from thy hand. This curse caused him not to prosper in his work. He lost the strength God had once gave him to do his work in the earth. He would be a fugitive, when people sin the first thing they want to do is run and hide. Cain became a vagabond, a wanderer, idle, and he no longer had a fixed habitation in the earth. It was then that Cain realized that his punishment was greater than he could bear. He ran for his life. He felt the guilt of his sin and could not face God, his father or his mother.

Satan introduced himself into the man treacherously. Satan come to lie, steal, and kill in a man’s life to their vision, dreams and proper place in God. He was a liar from the beginning, the father of lies and he brought with him what he was cast out of heaven for; envy, jealousy, covetousness, malice, deceit, hatred and all manner of sin to the earth and snookered the human race deceptively. What is a lie to tell? What is a life to take? Just the other day someone lost their life over a pack of cigarettes; God forbid. The Lord says I find fault. Exodus 20:13, thou shall not kill is written because that spirit of murder was birth. Revelation 2:4, nevertheless I have somewhat against thee because thou has left thy first love. Many people have married religion, strange Gods, false prophets rather than God. They believe theory rather than the Word. It’s time we remember where we have fallen from and repent. Then we can do the first work of God over again. God can’t trust anyone that will not repent. Repentance means we choose a particular course of action, often responding to a change in a person’s attitude or change in a situation as a figurative way of saying I have changed my mind and my life; I renounce sin. We must turn away from the wickedness that is present at every corner of the earth. The church is not perceiving the significance of the role they have in this society. We walk around with our heads in the air, breathing God’s air but not taking care of his business in the earth; God say I find fault.

Have someone ever stole your dream of vision? Have anyone ever tried to sell you where you will be destroyed or made to be quiet withholding the Word of God? Well guess what not only did they steal you dream or vision but caused death to their own. Murder happens in the heart of people without them ever using a weapon. Murder happens in God’s house all the time because its in the hearts of my own people. They premeditate to kill your purpose not realizing what they did to you is to God because the vision is His. Premeditated means there were motives that kill the Spirit of God in man. Murder is the taking of one’s life, slaying them, killing them or slaughtering them. We let’s add another, talking one down to others when you don’t tell the truth or plan their demise. We bring death to the vision of others rather than help them. Because of the murder Cain committed God included in His law regulations on life and provision for dealing with the murderer. Rather it is premeditated murder or unintentionally done. We in life today calls it murder 1 or first degree murder and second degree.

In order to assure the rights of the manslayer who unintentionally kills someone the prisons was built, they had to stay away from the public. Accidental killings has different less severe penalties. Once at the Dixon Correctional Institute in Louisiana while I was visiting a fellow comrade had the opportunity to pray for a man that had murdered his wife unintentionally. H had been in prison fifteen years and still had not come to grips with what had occurred. He said every time he closed his eyes he would see what he had done. Why was this so? In talking to him I found that he never told the truth about what happened and he never asked God to forgive him. We all held hands and prayed. He accepted the Lord confessed his sin
repenting for he had done. The next time I went up there he was all happy, was sleeping now at night and he was active in the services held there at the prison. He had new life although he was incarcerated. We can be incarcerated in our minds over something we have given power to.

Cain because of what he allowed to happen in his mind and heart became capable of intending and planning great harm to come to Abel. He was extremely troublesome over the fact that Abel’s offering was well accepted and his was not because he lied and tried to deceive God. This is a dangerous and unpleasant life to live with jealousy and envy lodged in your heart against another. This spirit kills dreams and desires as well. Cain took away all that Abel would have finished in the earth had he lived. We would like to think he would have done or brought some obedience back in the earth. God says he find fault.

Paul said in Romans 7:11, of the power of sin which is personified as finding occasion through the commandment and inflicting deception and spiritual death, a separation from God. Not only do we die naturally or physically but spiritually. We must realize the commandments is there to obey and when broken it takes away our freedom. We must be delivered of the sin that so easily besets us time and time again.
