The message argues that these men allowed their own selfish desires to supplant the fear of God, leading to strife and unfaithfulness. The discussion highlights Adam's selfishness in the Garden, Abraham's decision to take Lot with him, Isaac's favoritism toward Esau based on his love of food, and Jacob's deception for the birthright. The talk emphasizes that the root of these issues was not the other person, but the selfishness within their own hearts.---- The fear of man is a root cause of selfishness and destroys the spirit of a marriage.- Biblical writings about the patriarchs were included for our benefit to learn from their mistakes.- Adam's selfishness led to him watching Eve converse with the serpent instead of subduing the earth as God had commanded him.- Isaac's love for Esau was based on a selfish desire for Esau's hunting, not on genuine love for his son.- Iniquity, not sin, is a generational propensity to repeat the mistakes of a father, as seen in the lives of Isaac and Esau.- Jacob's selfishness led him to take advantage of his brother Esau's hunger to get his birthright.- The root of bitterness and unforgiveness in marriage is not the other person's actions, but the selfishness in our own hearts.---The video concludes by asserting that the Lord wants to make Himself known to us by revelation and that we receive this by spending time with Him and listening to His voice. The ultimate takeaway is that it's not enough to simply read and memorize scripture; we must spend time with the Lord to get to know His voice so that we can have a relationship with Him.---#FearOfMan #Marriage #BiblicalInterpretation #DrMichaelDavis #Theology #Selfishness #GenesisAlive Inc LinksWebsite: https://www.keytorevival.org/The International Ministerial Institute: https://www.keytorevival.org/imi/Your Face, O Lord, I Shall Seek (and other resources): https://www.keytorevival.org/alive/resources/Order Resources: https://www.keytorevival.org/alive/order/Fear of man, being concerned for what people think of you more than what God thinks of you, is a hidden and destructive virus to any marriage.
