   ESSENCE OF TEMPTATION 
  So here, we see that the earth was complete and there was nothing else to do.  All that the man created and all that he spoke into existence it was good and it was right.  Now the man had to be really tired from creating all that he did.  Now be mindful that he did all this by himself, he didn’t need any help in what he was doing.  Now if you would have gave this task to one of us, well you know what would have happened.  First we would have  complained that it was to much work, to much to little time to do it.  Now why do we search for things to do like working and trying to make a living and then once we get in we just ain’t satisfied one damn bit.  But I guess that is the difference from being a man than being the man, a provider, than being a creator.  I thought that was the mans whole plan was to in a sense of miscegenation to make a new world or what ever man had in mind, but not God.  Cause we just over looked what God wanted us to do.  So now that this is all down pack and dat is what it is left to do. Well first we have to see that he had the thought to do  all he  did and created in that time he was just picking up the pieces.  Anyway he got rest and we should do like wise as well.  So now while the man was getting rest, he got to thinking, wait a sec, I ain’t got no plants and trees and all that other stuff, but if I create (or make) these things whom will take care of them.  I’m not gonna wash your cloths and fold them to.  (Just a joke on my part).  So this is what I will do, I will see if I can come up with an idea or something that I can do to make this world pretty and without blemish.  Now I’m here alone and I have no one to maintain this world.  I just can’t do it, so, oh wait.  Now if I create a man from me, my own self and put him here just to do this and nothing else.  So now how will I make this  man?  Now I can’t make him like me because we all know what happened to that first fella I thought was gonna be  my ace, my partner.  Now I don’t know why Satan thought that he could do this.  I gave him everything that he did not ask for, but he wanted more, and why.  Let this be a lesson to all of you that will come after Satan that you cannot override the rider, the creator, even though he was the man (besides me) he was not gonna hold what I hold.  I don’t want to sound criminal or to be bequeathed, but I am the first , the last and no man will come after me to do what I have done.  So this is what the deal is, we are not gonna talk about that joker cause that is a whole nother book, but anyway back to what I’m trying to do to keep this earth in good shape.  Now all this land and water and stone, all this I’m sure I can come up with something.  Wait, I know, check this out.  Now I spoke everything I made into existence, now what if I use my hands to create something living and I just breathe into it.  I know, I will make a man like me out of my own image and nothing else, cause I don’t want to make the same mistake twice, (like I even made one before).  But any who, I’ll make man out of my own image and I will allow him to look like me.  Now once I finish this I will breathe the breath of life into his nose and then he will rise and I will tell him what he needs to do. And when I give him these instructions, and he fails then, I am not responsible, okay, here we go.  While the man breathes into the nose of the being that is called man he is sat down by the man and gave strict rules and regulations of the laws of the land, if that is what you want to call them.  So now that man is here he gave him a name.  Now I want to know why Adam, why not Tyrone, James, John, but that is not important though.  So, now Adam, Adam over here come this way.  Now this is what I… Adam, where are you going man.  Hey, can you hear me, look at  me when I talk to you man.  Oh my bag let me lay hands  on you and bless you and keep you, let  me let the sun shine upon your face and give you peace.  Now, can you hear me now, good.  Oh me, I’m your daddy and I created or made you form all this land that you are walking on.  All you see here as far as you can see, this is all yours and I mean all yours.  What, oh my name, well I have many names but you can call me God the Father.  Now don’t call me out my name or you gonna be in trouble, hear me. Now while we are having these discussions, is there anything that you want to ask me or want.  Well now that they were in deep debate,  God told Adam that he is gonna put a garden in the middle of nowhere.  Now a garden, why in the world a garden, well I guess since that God did all he did he did not want his son to work as hard as he did.  So now he puts this garden up and all those other things, so he puts two trees I think in the garden.  Let me see now I’m gonna do two trees but I will just let him know about the most important one.  Now let’s see, the tree of Life, yeah and uh, the tree of Knowledge, cause we all now that I’m all that and then some.  Okay Adam, Adam come here boy, let me tell you something.  Now this is what you need. I’m gonna put some uh, the uh, uh, animals I think that might sound right.  But anyway you gwan’ name all the beast, yeah I like that, animals sound so degrading, so we will call them beast and fowls of the air.  So name them all and then just do what it do okay.  Let me go back over here and let me let you do your thing okay.  What, what that tree over there, oh yeah, I forgot to mention that to you.  See you are a pretty  smart guy like me.  It’s good that you did not go behind my back and just take it upon yourself to find out what that tree is.  Okay Adam let’s sit down and talk about this man to creator.  Now look here, this tree is the tree of knowledge and you are not to touch it, go near it.  Now when I say don’t do something I mean it.  Don’t  make me discipline you now when you only been here less than 2 hours or more.  I need you to obey every single word I say, I mean it.  Now if you don’t believe me, you might run into a snake and he will tell you what happened to him.  But then again his pride might not let him.  You know, I will give you just a little take on what happened to him.  Well it all started I think after I created the universe. And the same things I done with you, I done for him as well. So I had this big earth and no one to run it, well the same thing happened to him as it will with you. I gave him some rules and guidelines and stuff, but some where he thought that by him being the only one and all that, he was gonna be the man over  me, but like I told you, I told him the same thing, but you know he was just a little arrogant and forth coming.  Check this out, I went out into the universe to see what kind of earth I would created and you know I have a throne that I sit on and all, so no one sits there but me. You know I have a saying that no man cometh before or after me.  So anyway don’t sit in my chair, don’t touch that tree and do what I say and just love what you do and where you go and who you are wit’.  Now as far as, Adam, where are you going now son.  Wait, you look depressed and mad.  Do you think that I’m hard or something.  It’s either my way or now way at all.  I am sorry.  So Adam speaks now and vents to God but easy and firm.  God why do you have all these rules and stuff.  I just got here and you put all this stuff on me.  I don’t think that I can bear all this, naming animals, keeping up the garden, staying away from that tree of life, knowledge or what ever, I’m just , I don’t know.  So God says look, I’m not gonna put no more on you than you can bear.  So Adam  says, okay check this out, you were lonely and you made me to keep you company, but I know that you had to create something or somebody to keep up all this up, so now let me tell you like this. I need someone the opposite of me.  What do you think.  God says well what do you mean the opposite.  Well me and you are, you know man. Can we have or can I have someone to keep me company.  I notice that the animals are different.  God says what do you mean.  Well one has a thing coming out under his belly and the other has an opening of some sort and I also checked out one time they were in a certain position and the one with this thing pointing out was on top just moaning and grunting.  God says, oh, I see.  You want something of that same deal.  Yeah??!!!!!!  Ok, Ok.  But before we go any  further you have to remember what I told you about this tree of knowledge okay.  Deal, says Adam.  So now God puts Adam to sleep, in a deep sleep.  He sleeps for a while and all that God does is just do the same he did with Adam but he takes something away from Adam, and  gives it to the other being.  So now they both awake a few days later and Adam looks to his right and sees this being and he says to God, Woh-man what do we have here.  God says that  this is a uh, a I being made from you.  I took one of your ribs too, so that ya’ll can be linked together until the end of time.  Wait, says Adam.  You mean that by you joining us bone of bone and flesh of flesh we are forever linked, yes says God.  Well I tell you what, if you put us together then together we w ill be, no matter what.  Now I have to give her a name.  Dangit I just ran out of names, I  named all these animals and I have no name for may wife.  God says what?  Adam says my wife.  Yeah that sounds good, but she still needs a name.  Well it is getting to be evening now.  What says Adam to God, evening that is a day that I  called when the sun goes down.  Yeah, how about Eve.  Call your wife Eve okay.  Yeah, cool.  So now that Adam had gotten all the rules and laws of the creator  he now has to tell all that was told to him, he must now tell to Eve, his wife, his uh help mate.  Now that all of Adams work is done he and Eve now are just having a time of his life, well their lives.  So now that God has left, well not just quite yet.  But before  he leaves, he calls them both to the throne, cause he first has to do with Eve what he did with Adam.  God had to bless her and keep her, he has to make his face shine upon her and give he peace.  You when we are all born it is really by the hands of God that we are placed inside  the womb of women to bear her fruit for he mate.  You see God is always in the amalgamation process and has the power to do this to keep this world going.  We know that today we are living a life not suit for mankind, but that is another story.  So now that God performs this miscegenation of these two, he now leaves them alone to do what they do.  But as time goes on and years pass by, Eve is now going on he own in a sense to have time alone to herself.  We all need that me time alone so  that  we can have a chance to  miss one another you know, cause being with someone 24-7  is a bit much and you grow sometimes tired, frustrated and just want to be alone.  So Eve is alone just waling and admiring all that God has done and all that Adam had done as well.  She walks along the grass with her bare feet with the feeling that she has not a care in the world.  She whispers things in the air as if Adam was with her, she plucks flowers off of trees, she graces across the waters of the rivers, she lays naked in the sun that shines upon her skin.  But as she walks and continues to grace upon the grasses and the streams, she comes across the path that leads to a field, and there she sees a tree in the middle of the field with a sword of something swinging in front t of it.  Now mind you that God had told her not to touch this tree,  stay away from this tree or she would surely die.  Now she wonders a bit about this, and wants to know why is this such a big deal to stay away from this tree.  Let me see, she thinks it was the tree of knowledge she ponders.  Well as you see she has a bad  memory and can’t remember what the tree was and she can’t really recall why he did this to  them.  Let me think a  minute she says to herself, this a nice tree and it has a lot of fruit on it.  Now Eve does not know about the serpent and God.  Adam must have forgotten to tell her of this serpent.  But be  mindful she was aware of the tree to not to touch it or even go near it.  So she shows disobedience already.  Now on the other hand I have to look at Adam and the part he played in this.   When you are joined together by God in marriage, you are to cleave to your spouse and not let harm or danger come to them.  This is a place now that even though that God had created this wonder place there lurks evil as well as  good.  Now we all think about that since God made all and created all, it is all good, but don’t forget about the fallen angel that was banished from heaven.  What does that mean by fallen angels and demons and all this evil talk.  She did not quite  comprehend all of this talk about evil and demons and stuff of that nature.  Even though she was disobedient and not really understanding, she was ascertaining all that was around her.  She has a heart to  really listen but to go on about her own way to find things out on her own, but she had a big heart.  So now that she stands there in the midst of this tree contemplating on whether to take this fruit from the tree, she now is approached by the serpent.  Now that she comes across this slithering being on the  tree, she is not afraid for it has a upper body as hers, so there is  no fright at all.  He says to her, hey wzup, and where is your help mate and why are you all alone out here in this place and your husband does not accompany you.  Don’t you know that what God has joined together let no man put asunder.  Now she looks around stupefied  at what the serpent is saying.  She does not really understand what he just said to her.  She says, what do you mean by put asunder.  I have no clue of what you say to me in that language.  It is okay says the serpent, let  me tell you this much about what God says not to do.  Now here you are without your help mate alone, that there should be a red flag for me to know that I can persuade you to do what I want you to do without the help or hand of your husband.  Then I see that God told you to stay away from this tree and all that other stuff, right.  Yeah????!!!, says Eve.  So now she is really curious. How does he know all about God, he was not there at the marriage ceremony, who is this being, how does he know so much about me and my husband and even God!!??  So now she goes back and tries to find her husband, but he is no where to be found.   She thinks out lot to herself in frustration.  She still wonders who this is that knows all about the plans and guidelines of the land.  So she walks around for a  minute and then she goes back to the same tree where the serpent is waiting for her.  The serpent says to her, did you find your husband yet, have you seen him.  He is probably busy tending to the animals and fishing or something like that.  But I tell you what, says the serpent.  Let me tell you a little sumtin’ sumtin’.  Now if I recall God said that if you eat of this fruit you will die, right.  Yeah, she says.  And he told you to stay away from this tree and me right.  Yes, and no she says.  The tree yeah, but you he did not mention.  That is why I’m so confused as to why you are here telling me all about what we have been told not to do.  But  can you now tell me who you are, because it is really messing wit me at this time and I don’t like to be left in the dark on things.  So the serpent says look I tell you what, just take a bite of this apple, it is not gonna kill you, look at me, I’ve been eating on this fruit, so I’m not dead, I ’m just as lively as you are.  But what about your, Uh, oh, your uh, lower part of your body, I mean who in the hell are you or what are you.  Well says the serpent, to be honest with you, if you just take this apple and bite into its juices then I will tell  you all that you need to know.  Yeah, says Eve, but I can’t do this cause I have to obey my husband and God, I just can’t go against what they have told mi what to do.  Can you understand that.  Yeah I guess, but what is obeying, what does that mean.  Any ways, says the serpent, just take a bite and then you will see the whole truth and nothing but the truth of who you are and what you are.  What do you mean, asks Eve in disarray.  Look at you says the serpent, you are  naked……. Well I’m  saying, just take a bite, okay.  NO, I can’t, says Eve.  Well I tell you what, if I take a bite then will you take a bite.  Okay and then I will show you that you are not gonna die okay.  I guess, I mean I know you  married and all (wink, wink), but I won’t hurt you, I just want you to  know the truth of who you are and then you will see who I am, okay. Okay says Eve.  So she takes a real good bite and then soon as she does that, look who decides to show up and raise all kinds of cane.  Eve!!!!!!! Eve!!!!!! Stop, don’t, don’t get away from that serpent, put that down, and you, you you you snake, get away form my wife, I’ll kill you, get away from her.  So the serpent leaves the scene and is never to be found again.  Now Adam has to deal with Eve about all kinds of things.  Why didn’t you tell me about that, what you called, a snake, why didn’t ya’ll tell me about him.  I didn’t know about him that  much, but God told me but I didn’t think that he would be around here.  You see when I named all the animals and fowls of the air, I didn’t see  anything like him so I figure it was no deal.  But woman we told you to stay away from this tree and not to go near it.  Why did you go against God and his wishes for us.  I’m sorry but he told  me that we would not die, and he even took a bite too.  So I said if he is still living then it can’t be bad. Oh yeah, why does he have that kind of body, he’s different from us.  Well, you know before God made me from this sand and rock, he was in heaven with this angel, this snake that you have seen, he was one of Gods right hand men, and he tried to sit where he told us not to sit.  He tried to take over Gods universe but God said oh no, there is only room for one of us.  And they fought and fought, until God got the  upper hand and threw  him down to earth.  I think that he said he was a fallen angel, and that he would crawl on his belly for the rest of his life.  Ohhh boyyy????!!!  Adam, Eve.  This goes on for awhile.  God now tries to call them and call them.  So they are looking around at them selves and notice that they are naked.  So they get some leaves to cover themselves up and they run and hide.  God continues to call and they  continue to run until they get tired.  So God  finds  them and is really hurt and disappointed.  So he says what have we here, are ya’ll trying to hide from me?  Didn’t ya’ll hear  me  call you?  Why are you running from me?  I, oh, well, uh, oh boy.  Okay, Okay, wait.  What is that wrapped around you, I mean what is that in front of you.  Well forget it.  Now first things first.  I have to say that I’m very disappointed in you two.  Now look, sit down before I really lose  my temper.  What part of don’t touch that you don’t understand.  I told you Adam first not to go…..Whew, I’m just gonna cool off, I ‘m gonna take a deep breath.  Now okay now where was I… Yeah, anyway this is what…..Wait, wait.  Where  were you when she was by the tree in the garden fool.  Answer that first.  Where were you man.  Adam speaks.  Uh, uh, well I was tending to the cattle and all, but I didn’t know that she was gone away.  She just tipped away.  When I married you two this was meant for ya’ll to do things together, for you not to lose sight of her, cause you don’t know what trouble she might cause for you.  Well ya’ll.  Answer me man!!!!!!  Okay okay.  Here’s the deal.  Now let’s review; oh did you see a serpent crawling on his belly?  Yeah, they both said together in unison.  But actually he was in the tree and he looked just like us, except for his lower body.  Yeah, God  said that was him.  I didn’t expect him to be at the tree of knowledge.  What did he tell you.  He told me, said Eve, that you said that if we eat this fruit that we will die, but he said that we wouldn’t die.  So he ate it too and he gave me some and then that what happened.  Now God said Adam did you tell her not to eat he fruit. Yeah?  I can’t hear you. YES.  I told her not to go to the tree, stay away from it.  Now first thing, why didn’t you tell her to stay with you at all times, why didn’t you say if you are gonna go just tap me on the shoulder and let  me know when you leave.  Uh I don’t know.  Okay this is what is gonna happen.  The reason that the serpent is crawling, whether in a tree or not, and the reason he looks like that is because he did that same thing but different.  He was one of  my favorites, he was a perfect being until he got the big head and thought that he could do me and be me.  But little did he know, it’s not enough room for the both of us in heaven.  So I cursed him to the way he is now.  He will forever crawl and he will always fuss with his mate and they will just be miserable.  Now for you two this is what is gonna happen to you all.  Hey, hey ,stop crying.  Ain’t no use ya’ll  crying now, ya’ll done messed up now partner.  So stop  it, just stop it okay.  I ain’t trying to hear all that.  Look woman, you will have pains in your child bearing, you gonna bleed, and cry and it is gonna hurt.  I’m telling you now, so stop crying woman.  Now Adam, he is gonna be your ruler, you will have to do what he says, you hear me.  Now Adam.  Man like you was doing before, I was just preparing you for your future.  All that work you was doing before you will do it until you die, you will eat of the same land plants and all.  You will sweat, bleed, get hurt break limbs and all.  And check this out, when you die I made dust from you and dust shall you go back to.  Now leave me and go on and do what ya’ll need to do.  I  love you and see on that great  day.  
  LOVE, PEACE, AND POWER
