The Genesis season is all about the beginning of a love story. When I think of Genesis, I think of Adam and Eve. God looked at Adam and said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him”  (Genesis 2:18). Out of Adam’s rib, He created Eve. Imagine a God so good that while he puts the man to sleep, he creates a beautiful woman, perfect for Adam's needs. They both knew one another, and they both walked with God. It is such a beautiful picture of love. God presented Eve to Adam, and Adam immediately recognised her. “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh”  (Genesis 2:23). Your person should recognise you as His wife, as soon as they set their eyes on you. He may not say anything to you, but the spirit will tell Him. Sin damaged both relationships, between God and humanity, and between Adam and his wife. Their perfect union was broken by disobedience and rebellion. “Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realised they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves”  (Genesis 3:7). Fear, shame, and hiding took the place of intimacy. Thankfully, God already had a plan. He would send Jesus to reconcile humanity back to Himself and to bring healing to broken marriages and relationships. In Christ, we can experience a union that reflects God’s perfect design. It may not be a perfect relationship, because we are human, but it is perfect in Christ. I would choose the union God designed over the world’s version any day. Significance of the Genesis Season The Genesis season is about the beginning of your love story. It is about how God connects you with your person. It reveals where you both are spiritually when you meet. It brings your relationship history and family background into the light. It tests whether you are equally yoked or not. It forces you to ask the question: Is this really my spouse, or did I choose this person myself? It is also about that moment of recognition for the Man. It is about the foundation your love is built on. It is about your understanding of marriage when you first come together. Consider these questions How were you first connected to your love? Where were you both spiritually at the time of meeting? What was your previous relationship history, and how did it shape you? What is the story of your family background and the generations before you? Are you truly equally yoked in faith, values, and direction? Is this your God-ordained spouse, or someone you chose for yourself? How do you discern the difference, and what confirmations have you received? Did you both recognise one another as husband and wife in your spirit, that deep inner knowing? Do you have a clear sense of your identity in Christ, and does your partner have a clear sense of theirs? What foundation is this love built on? At the point of meeting, what was your understanding of marriage and relationships? See you in the next post. With love always, Victoria x

The word narcissism  never appears in Scripture. It’s a modern psychological term used to describe people who are excessively self-focused, manipulative, and lacking empathy, among other traits. Psychologists call it a personality disorder, but the Bible described this kind of behaviour thousands of years ago. Everything begins in the spirit before it shows up in the physical. We are spiritual beings living in temporary bodies made of dust. What the world now labels “narcissism” is really the fallen nature of man. Paul gives a sobering description of the last days in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (KJV): “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” Let's break each description down one by one Lovers of their own selves - selfishness, lack of remorse, using others. Covetous  -always wanting more, never satisfied, chasing lusts of the flesh. Boasters  - bragging, exaggerating success. Proud  - arrogance, superiority complex. Blasphemers  - mocking God with actions, thinking there are no consequences to bad actions, dishonouring the truth. Disobedient to parents  - lack of honour to earthly parents and to the Heavenly Father. Unthankful  - entitlement, never content, ingratitude towards life. Unholy  - no reverence for God or moral boundaries. Without natural affection  - lack of empathy, cold-hearted. Trucebreakers  - betraying trust, breaking promises. False accusers  - lying, slandering to manipulate others. Incontinent  - no self-control, reckless behaviour. Fierce  - abusive, aggressive, quick to anger. Despisers of those who are good , resenting truth and righteousness. Traitors  - betrayal for selfish gain. Heady  - rash, impulsive, reckless decisions. High-minded  - inflated ego, looking down on others. Lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God  - pleasure-driven, addicted, self-indulgent. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof  - religious on the outside, spiritually empty inside. The spirits behind Narcissism Each description Paul gives above represents an evil spirit that can attach to a human soul. Remember, I said earlier that we are spirits with souls living in human bodies. There are many ways demons gain access; they look for openings to reside in a human vessel and carry out their evil acts through that person. Evil spirits can be transferred generationally when past generations fail to repent. Evil spirits can also enter through soul wounds, any trauma or abuse, through curses, and spoken words. They aim to destroy the person and to affect everyone around them. The Bible reminds us that our battle is not merely against people but against spiritual forces: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”  (Ephesians 6:12, KJV) But there is hope. Jesus came to set the captives free. Can someone with this many evil spirits change? Unlike what the world says, being free is not only possible, but it is what Jesus Christ died on the cross for. Deliverance from the kingdom of darkness (from evil spirits, curses, evil altars, witchcraft and the like) is important, and it is not just a one-time event. Deliverance is a journey that includes repentance, breaking curses, grounding yourself in the Word of God, filling yourself with the Holy Spirit, obeying , loving God and having faith in Christ and his salvation. it always begins with knowledge.
