God asked His man whom He loved so dearly, what he had done? His man was hiding from God when he used to walk with God in the cool of the evening. Now fear had enveloped him because of his disobedience. Just that seemingly innocent disobedience cost him his peace, his comfort his joy his continuing. For now man would die. Not because God wanted him to, but he opened the door for that outlaw spirit which is called Satan to get into the earth and dominate him. Fear of death would be on the rampage for centuries. The Lord had a plan. He told that serpent one was coming that would bruise his head, but he would bruise his heel. When Jesus went to the cross and paid that high price, he also descended into the lower parts of the earth and beat the breaks off of Satan, Luke 12:40, and took from him the keys of death hell and the grave, triumphing over him in it. Before he suffered he told his followers that he would give them the keys of the kingdom, and what ever they bound, would be bound in heaven….Now he has arisen with all power in heaven and earth. He defeated the enemy and if you join forces with him, you can defeat him too.
Gen. 3:15
And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.”
Hebrews 2:14,15 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he( Jesus), also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage
Luke 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth
Col.2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
