Calling a Spade a Spade…
A further thought on confession related to Your Own Private Sheol:
At the seduction of Eve, Adam was faced with a creature he had previously named. This naming was the first expression of his dominion.
Adam failed to name the light of the law of God “day”, and the darkness of the lawlessness of the serpent “night.”
Which then leads to the Lord’s request that both Adam and Eve name, or confess, their sin. As discussed, they failed again, and the world was plunged into shadows.
The first step in dominion over sin is in naming it as darkness.
We could apply this to the current financial bailouts. We sinfully dug ourselves a hole and now want to dig our way out of it.
