Why Evil Sometimes Advances over Good: The Knowledge of Good and Evil

The Knowledge of Good

The knowledge of good created in man gives man the capacity to work in the creative power of God when harnessed well. Humans are created in God's likeness, we have the mind of Christ, and we can do extraordinary things on earth.

When you read Genesis 1 through 2, you realize that this is talking about God placing humans in Eden to take charge, become fruitful, multiply, and have dominion. Fruitfulness, multiplication, and filling the earth speak about reproduction, and creatively expanding goodness across the earth with skill and craft, trade, and also the multiplication of families.

The Knowledge of Evil

The knowledge of evil makes a child begin to hide an act they perceive is wrong as their parents approach. The knowledge of evil makes a person steal when no one is watching. Usually, children with no knowledge of evil will act out of their curiosity when everyone is watching; and when the act is wrong, everyone laughs, and their parents correct the act, informing them not to do that.

The knowledge of evil poses a great threat, because when the mind cannot unsee what it has been introduced to; an untamed body will and an uncircumcised heart will, at a slight opportunity, speak and act out the evil within the mind.

"Shame is Knowledge of evil brings shame. Those who do not know evil cannot identify with shame" - Apostle Ebenezer Gabriels shares. This is why the admission of sin, confession of sin, and repentance from sin are difficult.

Knowing what the knowledge of evil is capable of, Man's life expectancy was cut short immediately, Then the Lord God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil, And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat and lives forever" - Genesis 3:22

We're human, blood runs through our veins, and all around us, there's a tendency to see or hear evil. This is how men learn through their daily experiences.

Also, there is complex knowledge hidden from the sight of men, workers of iniquity do all sorts at night. God has hidden some of these things from the simple mind because the knowledge of such evil is too dangerous for the mind.

This is why - there have always been God's secret kept away from us. God reveals secrets by proximity, holiness, and based on character. Exposure of God's secrets to unready vessels without any spiritual depth can kill them, or ruin their mental states.

The Need for God's Holy Intelligence

Since the devil's sole trade is deception, luring captives by dangling access to a dark power in the earthly kingdom. Through access to the realm of evil knowledge, satan knows the recipe for all types of evil powers that fallen men lust and desire, and his goal is only obtainable when the heart of man is deceived and filled with evil desires.

Since the ordinance of fruitfulness, multiplication, filling the earth, subduing, and dominion were issued initially, humans became natural seekers of power to achieve these. Devil comes with a promise of all these, for a price, which is a ritual or a sacrifice. On the side of goodness, the Lord God gave all this to men freely, when man was pure, and worshipped God in the beginning.

Since man fell from worship, blessings have turned to curses, and man has desperately sought the way to power to achieve God's commandment to fruitfulness, multiplication, filling the earth, and subduing and then dominion.

Many have been deceived into satanic rituals and trades to achieve this. The deceived have continued to recruit the naive, and multitudes are falling into the traps of darkness, under the rule of darkness. Men began to fight a war they did not understand, and many became even more blind, groping into darkness.

There was a need for worship and prophetic leadership. Prophetic leadership to accurately discern the heart of the Father since evil knowledge had saturated the world, serving demonic wisdom to the sons and daughters of men. God delivered very few who were listeners and observers and those who had not completely lost the character of worship. God delivered this handful from the perversion of the world, not that they were good themselves, but with God's provision for mercy and grace, God found them, cleaned them up, and brought them into heaven's wisdom house, revealing to them the higher spiritual intelligence to understand the nature of evil, the details, and giving them relatable examples which the human mind can comprehend, and teaching them how to war against it, anointing them to go deliver others, and commissioning them to lead the war, and giving them to overcome by the blood the Lamb. This is what has given birth to what people now call Spiritual Warfare.

Spiritual warfare is widely misunderstood and has been hijacked by sorcerers and witches, and the practitioners of darkness of this world. Hence the efforts of many in spiritual warfare reach nowhere.

Here, we call the Ebenezer Gabriels Worship Discipleship, we interchangeably call it Prophetic Warfare, because spiritual warfare tends to get people to think all the warfare ends in the spiritual realm. What about unseen elements manifesting in people's lives in the physical realm? God's intelligence which does not pollute gives the worshipper the knowledge of good, and also the revelation into the workings of evil and how to overcome it. This is only obtainable in the realm of worship.
