Eden's Blueprint draws readers to the Tree of Life with a gentle invitation to sit there with Jesus, allowing Him into every space we hold, letting Him restore our lens to reflect His. As we read, we are gently invited to learn to see ourselves and others as God does, which Matt defines as an act of love that should be as normal as breathing.
Matt's deep love to see people healed through the love of Jesus and to see them restored to their original design by this process is the very beat of his heart. If you are willing to listen, you are willing to love as the Father does, for His ear is always positioned toward us, drawing us into the revelation of His goodness by a deepening relationship that restores us to the wonder of His creation of us, likened to Him, His original design.
Matt intentionally postures himself beneath the Tree of Life, not the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. As he sits, he listens to the heart of the Father for His word over the life of the Bride, and the mysteries of this pure love are released as a fragrance throughout these pages, a fragrance that has the power to shift mindsets and realign that which has lost its way.
In true vulnerability, Matt draws from the well of his 30 years in ministry, pastoring an inner-city Baptist Church and running a healing and deliverance ministry. Revealing his own journey through the valleys and up the mountains, Matt's willingness to bare all is profoundly powerful. The unraveling trip to Lebanon, being the catalyst for a deep inner work, gives great insight into the journey taken to reach this point of impartation and reveals how beautiful vulnerability is, how it shifts atmospheres and prepares the way for Jesus to come and heal, thus restoring our lens.
Matt's longing for deeper intimacy with the Father has continually led him back to the garden; a resounding message is threaded through these pages; our original design is a place that the blood of Jesus invited us back into; it is a place of complete restoration to who we were first created to be, Eden's Blueprint, Eden's lens.
