Chapter 6 ## CHAPTER 6 Phase Five: The Broken Altar and the Roots of the Curse ### Scripture Focus > "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed." > (Genesis 2:24–25) > > "To the woman he said, 'I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you.' And to Adam he said, 'Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, "You shall not eat of it," cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life...'" > (Genesis 3:16–17) > ### Introduction: The Disturbance at the Gates Peace and blessings of the Creator of the heavens and earth be upon you servants, listeners, and the believers of God who have stumbled across this word. I know that nothing happens except by the will of the Creator of the heavens and earth, and I want to welcome you guys back to the Library of Wisdom. Excuse me if I do not sound as enthusiastic as I normally do; the fire is stoked, but I have been in deep, deep study and fasting today, so it is taking a lot out of me. But it has put a lot into me as well. Going on the purpose of this channel, which is for the year 2026 to establish a relationship with God based on His identity, we must look at how the adversary seeks to disrupt this exact alignment. Yesterday, actually, as we were driving and discussing God's nature and identity, two cars came in front of us and collided with each other right in front of us. I'm talking about like, there was barely any room between us and the car, how close they were. Previous to that, when we hopped into the car and were cranking it up, I had said a prayer like I always do. I prayed for God's protection, God's guidance, and specifically that God would not allow anything to happen because that was a new car—it was my dad's car—and it was something that I knew they didn't want to get messed up. So I asked God for that, like I normally do when I pray before I'm driving or before my mom or dad is driving. And it reminded me about **faithfulness** and who God is. Sometimes the things that we do, we do just because it's routine, but if we really pay attention to what it is that God asks us to do of Him, it's not just because He wants us to be more righteous in a sense; it's because it's a part of His identity that we're calling out to when we do certain things that affect our very lives. But that's something totally different. ### The Deep Study: The Source of the Fracture As I was studying today about the nature of God, going deeper and deeper into study, it led me, actually, to the root of sin, which goes all the way back to Adam and Eve and how they sinned. But even more in-depth, it had to do with their marriage. There was something about the marriage of Adam and Eve, and the things that happened with man and woman—with humanity and with the Life-giver—that caused multiple roots of faithlessness, idolatry, and fear to spread out into the world. Now, we don't see that word-for-word in scripture, but if you really study scripture and seek the Spirit of the Lord, and understand through your own experiences, you can begin to comprehend things that aren't necessarily completely and totally word-for-word in scripture but are revealed because we know how experiences work. We know our testimony, we know what God has brought us through, what God has brought us to, and what God has revealed to us about where we are in life. It started in the beginning when God created man and woman. He made them both in His image and His likeness. But today, we have fallen so far from our original state that the nature of man and woman is completely and totally messed up. The family is broken up because the nature of the man and the nature of the woman is completely off course. We're doing things where we are other than ourselves. I would even go as far as to say that we're similar to beasts, because beasts pursue their passions. They're hungry, they go and get food; they're thirsty, they go and get water; they want to have children at the time that their cycles produce up in their bodies, so they go and have children. They follow the passions of their heart, whatever is leading their heart—the first thought of their heart—and not out of their spirit. And that's more of what we're doing on the earth right now. God's mercy and grace allowed me to take a glimpse into the scripture to decipher and see a truth about the way that the enemy affected Adam and Eve and the first family, and how that affects the world even to today, even to our nature as human beings in the modern world. And this revelation about the roots of our sin, all of it started in the garden. The story of the first man and woman has a deeper meaning and a closer involvement to modern nature than we realize. Let us look at **Genesis 3:1–8**: > "Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, 'Did God actually say, "You shall not eat of any tree in the garden"?' And the woman said to the serpent, 'We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, "You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die."' But the serpent said to the woman, 'You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.' So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths. And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden." > What stood out to me about that scripture is that this serpent, who spoke a language Eve could understand, tempted her to defy God and eat of a fruit—to commit a forbidden action that would cause her to die. But why? Why did the serpent attack Eve instead of Adam? What made Eve more susceptible to his temptation in his sight? Is it because she was weaker? Is it because he already tried Adam? Well, I asked the Lord to reveal to me the root of sin, and this is what He taught me. ### The Design of the Help Meet He created man and woman. In **Genesis 1:27** it says, *"So God created man in his own image, male and female he created them."* He even goes on to say in **Genesis 2:18** that it was not good for a man to be alone, so He would go ahead and make for man a *help meet*. In **Genesis 2:21–22**, after the Lord had brought every animal before the presence of Adam for him to name them, he saw that no external being could help man the way that the Lord saw fit for man to be helped, and the way that he needed it the most. So God in His infinite wisdom caused a deep sleep to overcome Adam so He could open him up and reach down into his body and take a single rib, then He closed it up. A rib, though? Why out of everything that He could have chosen in existence to create a help meet for Adam did He choose a rib? You see, a rib is the curved bone structure that, with all the others, forms your rib cage. Humans usually have 24 ribs, 12 on each side, connected to both the spine (the backbone) and the sternum (the breastbone). Ribs give shape to your chest and they also are attached to your muscles. Most importantly, they protect vital, fragile organs in our bodies. Ribs protect our hearts, our lungs, and our big blood vessels, playing a contributory role in our breathing; they are detrimental to the functioning of our bodies. What does this have to do with why God made woman from the man's rib? I know that God does things for infinite reasons, but one such reason may be so that humanity could have one source. He said that they would be all descended from one blood, that they would all be connected to one man, the father, Adam. Even in scripture, the Lord says in **Genesis 2:24** that they shall be *one flesh*, they shall cleave together and be *one flesh*. So if we're going to be one flesh, that means that we must have one source, one blood, one origination. And second, how could God create a help meet for man save that this help meet is a being who is able to *relate* to man? A being who is able to understand him, who is able to love him, connect with him physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. And how will that being be able to help that man unless that being also is like unto that man? So He had to create another being that was like unto that man, that was connected to that man as that man would be its source. And third, He would create her from the rib so that a woman's nature would be that of an upholder of structure. She holds the family together. An *equalizer*, an *upholder*, a *strengthener*—because her presence makes the man stronger. A *healer*—because she deals with the things that are happening inside of the man. A *connector*—because she relates to him. And a *protector* of the very essence that she was made from. She is made to be a guard of a precious gift inside of the man that gives them both life and being. As the ribs guard the heart, lungs, and major vessels, so does the woman guard the ways to a man's heart and mind and life. Even scripture says to guard the ways to your heart. Well, who is the one who guards the ways to your heart? A woman guards the ways to your heart. A woman also guards our connection to God, and she guards our rest, and also our lifeblood: our children. So God taught me that a woman is equal to a man, that she helps man be exactly who he is, and that in the presence of helping man be exactly who he is, she is fulfilling who she is created to be—or rather, becoming who they were created to become. ### The Deception and the Blame Game But if that is so, what about **Genesis 3:16**, when God says that the woman's desire will be for her husband, but he will rule over her? Well, that's because of what happens at the tree. The woman's desire is for her husband because she was created *for* him; she was created to help him, she was created to be stability for him. But at the same time, the husband must now rule over her because the enemy figured out a way to destroy the man and the woman, and he did that *through* the woman. Why? Because the woman was the strongest weapon against the man. Not because of her physical appearance, but because of her responsibility, her role, her power that she held over the man as being created from within the man. And so now, the man must guard the being who must guard his being. When Satan broke Adam's wife, he broke Adam. That's why he tempted her and not Adam, because he knew who she was. He knew what her mind, her heart, and her spirit guarded, and he knew that if he could break her and break into her, then he would be able to break man. So if we observe the marriage of Adam and Eve, we can see why the world is in the state that it is in. The fruit that they ate represented an action that they both undertook. For Eve, it was believing the promise of a lie. She doubted God. Why? Because she believed the lie that God was a liar, which displaced God as God in her mind. And who takes the role of God when He is not on the throne? An *idol*. And what was the idol? The fruit, or the promise, or the act of receiving for herself what she believed she would get by listening to the whisper of sin. This is true for many of us. We do not know that God's attributes are His identity. He cannot lie. Is He a man that He should lie? He cannot break promises, so He kept forgiving the nation of Israel so He could give them what He promised Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, and Jacob (who was renamed Israel). When we do not know God, the best thing in our lives becomes our God. For me, it was my creativity, my scholastic intelligence, my ability to grow and develop and be institutionally smart. It was my plans, my goals, and my dreams—it was myself. The version of me that was perfect in my eyes, even though in reality it was me trying to be perfect because I saw all of my imperfections. Ironically, it was also my worst enemy: my lust, my need to prove myself, my fear of rejection, pain, and my trauma responses, broken relationships, and things that caused deep depression, self-hate, and even suicidal thoughts to overtake me. I knew *of* what God was—which was holy, forgiving, and all-powerful—but I did not know *who* God is presently, as a promise-keeping God, an understanding God, and real in the sense that He is not a robot that just gave us laws and judged us according to what laws we broke, but He sees me for who I am because He created me in His image and His likeness. He knows my greatest potential, He knows my greatest weaknesses, He knows me for who I am. So when I say that God is real, I'm not just saying that He exists; I'm saying that He is *present*. I did not know that there was a version of Him that was more real than what religion taught me, but there is. Adam inclined to hear the words of his wife, and he ate. Why? Because part of who he was was now a sinner, and that made him susceptible to sin. The desire to please his wife began a root of human idolatry in his heart, rooted from the lie the enemy told. Oh, yes, Satan was talking to Adam too, because guess what? The scripture says that Eve gave to her husband who was *with her*. Adam was there in the presence of the enemy and his wife. But he wanted to be wise as well—wisdom, because also, he believed the lie. And the only difference was that he inclined because of his wife, and his wife inclined to sin because of the serpent. So the idol was different for each of them, as we read in **Genesis 3:12–13** when they play the blame game. ### The Altar of Marriage and the Generational Curse Idolatry of self, of woman, lies about the nature of God, faithlessness, and then sin—these sound familiar? If we look at our sins, when we study the recurring cause of our sins, it's rooted in faithlessness, lies, and idolatry. Now, this was *marriage*—a holy, sanctioned connection—but what we fail to realize is that there are three people at the altar during marriage. Even the scripture says in **Ecclesiastes 4:12** that a threefold cord is not quickly broken. The scripture says in **Matthew 19:6**, what God has joined together let no man put asunder—in the sense of what God has brought together, let no man treat as if it is worth anything other than that. And of course, God cannot lie. So what He created when He created the relationship between Adam and Eve was a relationship that represented a connection: a connection between Him and Eve, between Him and Adam, and between Eve and Adam. When we go to get married, there are three people standing at the altar: the groom, the pastor (representing God's presence), and the bride. Why is that? This is because man, woman, and God—all three of them—get married *together*. And all three of them become one being. So when Satan interrupted the marriage, he destroyed the connection between woman and man, and he reeled back the relationship that man had with God and that woman had with God. And this left a generational curse. *Generational* means a body of living beings constituting from a single step in the line of descent from an ancestor. And *curse* means a prayer or invocation for harm or injury to come upon one. The real invocation for harm and injury upon the descendants of Adam and Eve is the state that they left us in because of their disunification by reason of sin. They left us to deal with this idolatry, these fears, this confusion based on lies, betrayal, self-hate, and overall, a severed relationship with our Father, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. And that left us a generational curse—generational curses being the root of all of our sins. You see, the nature of God says that He is forgiving, He is merciful, He is kind, He is understanding, He is compassionate. But the lies that they believed caused them to turn and look at God as if He was something to be feared in the sense that He would destroy us completely, that death was tied to us, that we could not trust God, that we had to figure out our own way to do things, that we had to cover our own selves, that we had to make our own way in the world. And that led to further downward destruction. Here are the children of Adam and Eve carrying on the curses that they passed onto them, and then their children carrying on the curse that they passed to them. How is this so? Because even though their sins were atoned for—as we read in Genesis, how God sacrificed the animal to atone for their sin and gave them the animal's skin for clothes—even though He atoned for their sins and they were forgiven for themselves, the thing that was left inside of them was never truly dealt with. It wasn't brought out and held accountable, and so the generational curse passed. That's the reason why the state of the world kept getting worse and worse and worse, because the reason, the root, the cause of their sin was never truly dealt with. When Adam inclined to hear the voice of his wife, and he ate the fruit, part of who he was—and what caused him to be the lead—had been influenced by deception. When Eve ate the fruit and gave to her husband, the part of her that made her the guard had been broken by deception. The structural integrity of the very first altar was shattered, and humanity has been trying to sew its own fig leaves ever since. ### Practice for Today 1. **The Altar Audit (3 Minutes):** Set a timer and sit in complete stillness. Look at the structures of partnership or relationship in your life. Ask yourself: *Have I been trying to navigate these connections independently, or have I invited the third Cord into the union?* Identify where you have allowed blame or defensive walls to protect your position instead of honoring the altar. 2. **Slicing the Generational Pattern:** Write down the repetitive family or generational reaction pattern you notice baseline inside your lineage (e.g., immediate retreat into silence, sharp escalation, deep mistrust, or handling everything alone). Speak out loud: *"I bring this inherited structural fracture under the authority of the Shem of Jesus; I refuse to let the historic breakage of the first family dictate my current covenant nature."* 3. **Restoring the Structural Guard:** Identify one practical conversation or domestic responsibility in the next 24 hours where you typically react out of a defensive or protective trauma response. Pause for 10 seconds before stepping into it, consciously lower your shoulders, drop the "fig leaves" of self-justification, and offer that clean step back to the Father. ### Closing Prayer Father, expose the hidden roots of the historical fractures that seek to manifest in my daily environment. I refuse to live out the broken nature of the fallen altar or to carry forward the silent curses of faithlessness, idolatry, and fear. Forgive me for the times I have made an idol out of my own strategies, my own intelligence, or my own defense mechanisms. Repair the structural joints within my spirit, my family, and my alignment with You. Deliver me from the blame game and the instinct to hide among the trees when I feel exposed. Lock my
