Reading dictionary can be enlightening. For instance, take the word, blame. When we assign blame to others, what is the result? People do it all the time. Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed satan...did satan blame anyone? No, he kept quiet.
Do you realize what this suggests? This is deep, and not well understood. the devil made me do it...the woman made me do it.
When we blame others for a wrong that has been done, we give to them the responsibility for it. You with me on this?
Question: God gave man dominion over the earth, so how did Satan get it? Did he steal it? No. We gave it to him. Adam blamed Eve, thereby giving her the responsibility, then Eve blamed Satan, thereby giving him the responsibility, and dominion .
So I believe the way we get dominion back is by taking responsibility and offering no blame upon others. We have a good example of this in scripture. Who kept stumblingband falling down? Who kept taking his own responsibility for his mistakes? Hint; who was called a man after God's own heart?! Exactly.
The clincher for this...is, going into the root word and etymology of the word "blame"...takes us to the word...Blaspheme.
Is that an eye opener or what?!
...the heart of man is more wicked and deceitful than we can imagine. I think most of the time when we sin, it isn't the devil but our own deceitful heart. It was my fault, not the devils. I take the responsibility, Lord forgive me.
Eh? Chew on that one, Brothers & Sisters...
