This section will give you a very brief understanding of the Bible story.  I strongly recommend you read the bible as the primary authority for the biblical passage. This section is an amplified exaggeration of the passages to help you feel the characters potential dilemma. The purpose of doing this, is to prayerfully increase the readers curiosity, and to create and deepen the - relationship with the character. Through that connection you will be able to take a journey with them to see how God intervenes.

Reflection & Charge:

Going deeper:

This section attempts to give the reader a more exaggerated  perception of the character’s personality; which may or may not be easily found or mentioned in the bible. The main purpose of this section is to prayerfully capture the modern listener through paralleling an ancient situation with a modern psychosocial lens. This section allows the reader to hear the magnified thoughts of the character to find direction and healing as they take an objective look at another’s life. Let me repeat, this is an exaggerated attempt to reach the modern listener.

See Me Bigger

Alcohol wasn’t present, but you were under the influence

I am truth; in deception he’s fluent

Wandered from your place of blessing into deceit

When you stumbled; I cried, it reeked

Yet in still, my love for you has never ceased

He came for your destruction; I am your peace

Daughter be uplifted, elevate your head

I’ll trade anything for you; destroy nations in your stead

When you turn from your wickedness; admit your sin

I will rename you; restore you, again

Yes, I’m your Father; that will never change

Even in the depths, you’re not out of my range

Some think it strange

They despise the intangible

My throne is established forever; guest angelical

Don’t be afraid to start over; beloved look in my eyes

A broken and contrite spirit I will not despise

Start on this clean slate; Pick up your pen

You once saw me; I invite you to see me again

Bigger than before; indeed, there’s no getting around me

Take pride in being lost; because my dear child your now free

Story Summary

Adam and Eve in the Morning go forth to do their labor. Eve proposes to divide up their labors: Adam protests not to, for fear that Eve would run into the dangerous one they were forewarned about, by herself. Eve did not like being seen as helpless and insisted they split up in order to put herself to the test and show her independent ability. Adam at last yields: The Serpent finds her alone; his subtle approach, first gazing, then speaking, with much flattery and admiration for Eve more than all other Creatures.

Eve, curious to hear the Serpent speak, asks how he attained the ability to speak like a human. The Serpent answers that by the tasting of a certain Tree in the Garden he attained the ability to talk and to reason. The serpent acclaims it was only after eating the fruit did I become wise.  Eve requested the serpent to take her to that Tree. After arriving Eve realizes the tree was the forbidden Tree of Knowledge: The Serpent now having grown bolder, and with many tricks and arguments induces her at length to eat. Eve, after eating the fruit and pleased with the taste, deliberates a while on whether to give Adam some or not. She decides after much deliberation she will.  She goes to Adam and tells him what persuaded her to eat: Adam is at first heartbroken by her inability to resist temptation but scared to lose her, and decides through his strong love for her to perish with Eve and eats also of the Fruit: The effects thereof in them both; they seek to cover their nakedness; then fall to modification and accusation of one another.

Reflection: Understand what went wrong. Acknowledge that you might need to fix a few things about your habits, such as how you think, what you think, your personality, and your reactions. No one is perfect, but those who achieve happiness learn to adjust their present evolution for their future emergence.

Charge: First, ask God for forgiveness for your mistakes. Next, list all the people, situations and locations that are influencing you in a negative way and burn the bridge. This step is hard, but must be done to begin a new chapter in your life. (Change who you listen to, what you listen to, what you watch. Delete, or block the numbers, choose different hangout spots, choose a different route home if you must.)

Going Deeper

Inferiority Complex

AFTER BEING KICKED out of the garden, Eve probably felt that she lacked control over the course of her life. More than likely, she underwent an identity crisis. Especially after God made the decree Adam was to rule over her. If Eve’s sole purpose was to be her husband’s helpmate, did she have a role or value outside of him? She likely experienced a degree of discouragement, anger, and uncontrollable sadness. Perhaps, she longed to be identified for simply being who she was, not only as her role as help-mate.  she may not have seen the beauty in her position, and may have even felt inferior to her spouse.

Her current power, coupled with jealousy, possibly created a sense of powerlessness within her. To cope with her bitterness, jealousy, and inner discord, Eve may have been passively aggressive to her spouse. She may have taken every opportunity to undermine him. There could have been instances where she would look for flaws in her spouse to compensate for the lack of control or worth she felt. Though she had a clear role, she may have believed falsehood myths about her existence. Eve, presumably was under the impression that as a wife, woman, and help-mate she had less importance, and value in God’s Kingdom.

It is safe to assume that she felt resentment towards God and her husband for not attributing more power, importance, and value to her, which may have muddied her judgement. Theoretically, Eve, had hidden rebellion in her heart because of her anger towards God, and her husband. This resentment of authority does not only pertain to husbands and wives, but can extend to bosses and employees, parents and children, and the like.

Unfortunately, she may have been unaware of where, or how to release the emotions stemming from the inferiority complex that consumed her. Assumingly, she acted out in rebellious behavior to assert herself above those in authority. Acting out may have given her a greater sense of power and control over her world.

To cope with her feelings of being inferior, Eve could have shifted her focus from what was not in her control, and considered all that she could influence in a positive manner. Eve, could
