All of the spiritual forces of the Garden of Eden have been restored to their whole purpose

Ephesians 1:3

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.”

The heavenly places spoken of by the apostle Paul is the Garden of Eden.

God planted this garden. According to Hebrews 8:2, Jesus is a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

The tabernacle of Moses, the tabernacle of David, and the temple that  Solomon built:

“… serve unto the example of heavenly things…” Hebrews 8:5

The Demonic imitation is referred to as spiritual wickedness in high places, Ephesians 6:12

What are some of the blessings?

Psalms 103:2, “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:”

-He forgives all your sins

-He heals all your diseases

-He redeems your life from destruction

-He surrounds you with loving kindness and tender mercies. 

-He fills your life with good things

These are some of the benefits. However, the real problem is that people are unwilling to receive. 

When we look at things based on the original design in Genesis 1-2, it is plainly evident that God designed the system to give blessings. Adam could freely eat. The seventh day of creation was designated a day of rest. The works were finished, and it was time to enjoy the harvest, the works of God’s hands.

What does it mean that the devil sinned from the beginning?

1 John 3:8

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.”

The devil sinned from the beginning. He lied to Adam and Eve. He is the source of all pain and sorrow.

Eve tells us precisely what happened. God asked her

“And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.” Genesis 3:13

The serpent deceived her, and she did eat. How did Adam sin? Adam received the fruit from Eve’s hand. Adam wasn’t deceived. Adam ate by choice.

“For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in transgression.” 1 Timothy 2:13-14

The serpent knew precisely what was about to happen. The serpent challenged God’s sovereignty.

What the serpent didn’t know was that by acting against God’s plan, it was the beginning of the end for him.

According to Revelation 20:1-2, he will be imprisoned in a bottomless pit for 1000 years. After his imprisonment, he will be cast into the lake of fire for all eternity.
