ASSIGNMENT Write your personal testimony in a 3-minute “defense format”— 1. Who I was 2. What Christ did 3. Who I am now

My Defense Testimony Before Christ, I was a completely different person. I was broken in ways I couldn’t explain. My life felt destroyed, and because of that pain, I was on a path that caused even more destruction. I carried wounds, anger, and emptiness that shaped how I lived. I didn’t know my worth, and I didn’t believe anything good could come from me. But the Word says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18). Even when I didn’t see Him, He was already reaching for me. When I surrendered my life to Christ, everything changed. I became saved. I became loved. I realized I am valued and worthy not because of who I was, but because of who God is. 2 Corinthians 5:17 reminds me: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” He gave me a new identity, a new heart, and a new way of living. I was reborn with different values, a beautiful life, and a kindness I never had before. Today, God is my strength. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). He is my oxygen the very breath that keeps me moving forward. “For in Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). He is my truth when the enemy tries to lie to me. “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). He is my Alpha and Omega, the One who began my story and the One who will perfect it. “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end” (Revelation 22:13). My hope is anchored in Him because He took a broken, lost person and rewrote my future. “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” (Hebrews 6:19). And today, I trust Him with everything in me my life, my decisions, my healing, my path. Proverbs 3:5–6 declares: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” This scripture is not just a verse to me it is the way I live. God directs my steps because I surrender them back to Him.

Repost We’ve 🎤 preached Eve…we’ve blamed the fruit… but almost NOBODY talks about the moment the fall actually began the moment Adam went quiet. 😮 Before Eve ever reached for the tree before the serpent ever opened its mouth… before any fruit ever touched her lips… 🗣️A man with a mantle stopped using his voice‼️ 📖 Genesis 3:6” She took of the fruit and ate it, and gave some to her husband who was WITH her, and he ate.” ⚠️ Read that again… Adam was right there but said NOTHING. The serpent doesn’t pick random targets he picks gaps in order. He went after the place where leadership wasn’t speaking. 🤫 And here’s the revelation 🤔 Real women don’t crave control… they crave COVERING‼️ A man with direction is more attractive than anything 📌 “This is where we’re going. 📌 “This is what God showed me. 📌 “This is the standard of this house.” Eve didn’t fall because she was weak she fell because Adam stopped leading. She had to make a decision without the voice she was designed to partner with. Some women aren’t rebellious…they’re responding to a void a man refuses to fill 🕳️ Eve wasn’t deceived because she lacked strength… she was deceived because Adam lacked sound. Even in a perfect world, 🌎 the silence of a man created a gap wide enough for a serpent to slither in. 🐍 🗝️ And here’s what almost everybody misses: God gave the command BEFORE Eve existed. 📖 Genesis 2:16–17 God told ADAM “Do not eat from the tree… or you will surely die.” That meant Adam was created to be: 📌 her teacher 📌 her covering 📌 her interpreter 📌 her leader But how can a woman follow what a man never reinforces? How can she trust a voice that won’t speak? How can she feel covered when he won’t step into his calling? And then God reveals Heaven’s order: 📖 Genesis 3:9 God didn’t ask, “Eve, where are YOU?” He said “ADAM… WHERE ARE YOU?” Not because Eve wasn’t involved…but because Heaven holds accountable the one who carried the mantle, not the one who reacted to the silence.Eve was deceived… Adam was dethroned.‼️
