The Separation doesn’t have to be permanent
Genesis 3:22-24 & 2nd Corinthians 5:17
There are as many reasons for people falling out with one another, as there are people in the world.
A lie told, a hug not shared, gossip spread, an adulterous affair, any number of things can lead to people falling out & separating.
A misunderstanding can break up long standing friendship.
It doesn’t take much anymore for friendships or fellowships to end & lives to be destroyed.
But no matter what caused the separation, no matter how long you’ve been apart; the separation doesn’t have to be permanent.
When relationships break down & people are separated from those they love, it leaves a void in the heart that’s not easy to fill.
Folks have tried all manner of things to fill that void, alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, just to name a few.
Anything to numb the pain, anything so they don’t have to remember the shame or pain that separation brings.
Young people over the course of your life, some things are going to happen that may cause you fall out with friends & feeling are going to be hurt & cause you to stop speaking to family.
Momma wants you to be a doctor, daddy wants you to be an athlete, but you want to be a cook, so you go your separate ways without speaking to one another.
Doesn’t it hurt your heart to not speak to someone you once shared laughs with?
Doesn’t it tears you up on the inside to not be able to hold the one you use to enjoy comforting & that use to comfort you but now you are separated by anger, gossip, & insinuations.
Yet out of all the broken relationships that have or will ever take place in our lives, none hurt as bad or cut as deep as being separated from God. I’m not talking about being separated from His love.
The bible assures us in Romans 8:38, “Nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus.”
No matter how high we get or how low down we are, nothing can separate us from the love of God.
But we can be separated from His presence.
The bond of fellowship with the father can be broken.
There are some things we do that can cause God to withdraw His Holy Spirit from us.
Yet there is hope, because the separation doesn’t have to be permanent.
I had to ask myself how did we get so far apart, what causes separations in churches, families, what causes friendship to be dissolved?
How did we get in this mess?
How did we get to the place where when we speak now it’s not out of love but out of habit?
How did we come to the place where we are separated from those that we love & that love us?
Human history is plagued with separation & broken relationships, from the first man Adam to now, folks have been falling out with each other & with God.
Yet that is not how God intended us to be with each other or with Him.
The bible says in 2nd Coirn.
5:19, “God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself, & He has committed unto us the word of reconciliation”.
Paul goes on to say, “Now that we are born again, we are ambassadors for Christ.
At the end of verse 20 of that chapter Paul encourages us to be reconciled with God.
God wants us to not only be reconciled back to Him, but also with one another.
Yet in order for reconciliation or restoration to take place, we first have to understand how we got in this mess.
You see before you can get out of something, you first have to know how you got in it.
So God says, you must first understand the *Cause*, *Curse *t & finally you need a *Cure.
*
So in order to understand just how separation takes place I believe it would be in order to review just how the first man, Adam became separated from his wife then from God.
When God created man from the dust of the ground & breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, He stood back & said this is very good.
The bible says God planted a garden eastward or toward the east in Eden.
Picture a place where food grows but no body plants it; picture a place where when the ground needs water it comes from the earth & not the sky.
Picture a place where sheep, wolves, cats & dogs live together in peace.
It was a place where the lion didn’t mind laying down with the lamb.
Picture a place where everything man needs was right at his fingertips.
The bible says, God caused everything that is pleasant to the sight & good for food to grown.
All Adam had to do was take care of it & enjoy the good life.
In this garden God Himself had placed everything that man need or wanted even the tree of knowledge of good & evil.
It was here in this garden that God placed man to have total dominion or control over every living thing.
He didn’t have to punch a clock for work.
He didn’t have to get out his almanac to see if it was planting season.
All he had to do was live in harmony with nature & with God.
He had four rivers to swim in.
He was not lonely for God Himself came down & walked & talked with him in the cool of the evening.
God even caused a deep sleep to come over Adam & took out one of his ribs & made him a companion or helpmate, for those cold lonely nights.
Yes Adam had heaven on earth.
He had a relationship with nature, with his woman, but most of all he had a relationship with God.
But something went terribly wrong.

* *In verse # 1 the bible says the serpent was more subtle or crafty than any beast of the field, which God made.
So here we find the serpent being used by Satan to entice the woman.
Wipe the image out of your head of Satan changing into a snake.
Satan was a fallen angel then, & he is one now.
But he can & will use what ever is available to entice you & I into going against the word of God.
So my advice to you today is if you don’t want to be separated from God, don’t keep company with the devil, no matter what form he appears in.
Here he ask the woman a question, “Has God said ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”
Listen to her answer.
“God said we should not eat of it neither shall we touch it lest we die.”
One of the things that lead to separation & fallout is adding something to something that was not there.
*M*any Christians fall out not so much over he said, she said.
But when something else is added to what was said.
I told you one thing, but when you went & told it to somebody else, you add your little bit & by doing so you made what I said into a lie.
For those of you who don’t know what a lie is, it is an intentional violation of the truth.
Lies & liars are condemned in Scripture.
*J*ohn 8:44, Jesus said Satan is a liar & the father of it.
Revelation 21:27, “there shall in no wise enter into it any that defiles, neither whatsoever worketh abomination or makes a lie.”
Revelation 22:15, “For without are dogs & sorcerers & whoremongers & murderers, & idolaters & whosoever loveth & maketh a lie.”
A lot of
*A* lot of close friends have fallen out with one another, because of a lie & anybody that says they don’t lie, is lying.
Even the patriarchs of old told lies.
Abraham & Ambeleich, Sarah lied to God.
Jacob lied to his father Isaac.
Even Saul the prophet lied to king David.
But the bible says in the book of Numbers, 23:19, “God is not a man that He should lie.
*I*t’s a bad thing to lie on God, but here Eve does just that.
In Genesis 2:17, God said concerning the tree of knowledge of good & evil, “Thou shalt not eat of it.
For in the day that you eat thereof thou shall surely die.”
But Eve said, “we should not eat from it, neither should we touch it.”
Satan lied & tempted Eve, & Eve added her own words to what God had said.
*W*henever you add to God’s word you place yourself in a dangerous situation.
John said in Revelation 22:18, “If any man or woman shall add to these things, God will add the plagues that are written in this book.
What God says is what He means.
*O*ne of the quickest ways to end a relationship is to lie on a person.
The first step that leads to separation from man or God is by lying.
They failed to take God at His word.
There is a warning here for each us today.
The moment you fail to heed the word of God, separation takes place.
Sampson can tell you better then I can.
If you want to overcome temptation, you must know God’s word accurately.
Because if you don’t Satan & people will try to twist the word of God to serve their purpose.
*A*nother thing that will separate people from each other & God is blame.
Satan had lied, man had been deceived, & verse 7 says, “The eyes of them both were opened.”
When their eyes were open they saw they were naked.
