I see Eve doing the same we do - even with salvation - not realizing we have everything we need and thus the enemy and our flesh coming to offer us more.

I remember Brother Barnes talking about how God told him in prayer, "I gave you my blood, my name, my spirit and my Word. What else do you need?"

Eve didn't realize she had everything she needed right where she was and that is how she could be deceived.

I believe in the Study, which Brother Blume may want to link, he is talking about how we can only be satisfied hungering and thirsting - as the deer panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my would after thee....."

In other words - If we don't keep "pressing on" we are going to become dissatisfied and look for fulfillment elsewhere.

Is that a plug I see for ones self?
