How Did We Lose Innocence and Righteousness? by Servant Marcia Carty on July 6, 2026

Have you ever wondered how we fell so far from the productivity, peace, and authority given to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? In this teaching, Servant Marcia Carty unpacks the historical and spiritual mechanics behind humanity’s loss of innocence. By connecting the parables of Jesus, the warnings of the Old Testament prophets, and the historical context found in the book of Enoch, this message exposes the external spiritual forces that targeted mankind. More importantly, it provides a powerful roadmap for modern believers to crucify the flesh, put on the new man, and live a holy life that stands secure against the coming judgments. -- We were naturally created in the image, likeness, and perfect agreement of God, endowed with total dominion and power to decree. -- The enemy introduced rebellion through angelic intervention, sowing "tears" of wickedness while mankind slept. -- The book of Enoch provides crucial context on the watchers and the birth of the Nephilim, explaining that modern unclean spirits are the disembodied entities left behind after the flood. -- To resist these tormenting, external spiritual influences, believers must actively mortify the flesh and put off anger, malice, and perversion. -- True restoration of our original power and innocence only occurs when we are born again, allowing grace to renew our minds in Christ Jesus.
