Eve, if she had not listened to the serpent, she would not have responded to Fall.
The woman of issue of blood, if she had not heard about Jesus, she would not have responded to healing.
The early church, if she had not believe in the gospel of Christ, she would not have exist.
The book, 'As She Was Hearing, She Was Seeing'; informs us that a victorious or defeated life has it source, which births the ground that make them real. This ground is given by revelation, with which when we respond to it, we Fall or Rise.
No man can truly live a victorious life without having his mind transformed by the light of the gospel of Christ. Thou one may be instruct to change, and lead a victorous life; it is impossible without the help of the Holy Spirit. He helps us in hearing, in seeing and in responding positively to what the gospel tells us about Jesus Christ. Therefore, hearing and seeing create the ground for us to live, move and have our being.
As Eve was pondering on what the serpent was telling her to do, she starts creating grouund for the Fall. And when she responded to that, she Falls on the very ground she created. We are to meditate and at the same time respond on what the Holy Spirit tells us about Christ, so that we might Rise again to Life.
This ground of victorious Life in Christ, which is created by Hearing and seeing, is that which the gate of hell connot prevail.
