MY FRIENDS, DO WE ERADICATE SIN OR ARE THE FINAL CONDITION WORSE THAN THE FIRST?

“It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit, and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.” 2 Peter 2:21-22 (NKJV) because Christ was not the foundation and focal point of their lives.

Luke 11:24-26 (KJV) tells us When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through dry places seeking rest and finding none. Then it says, “I will return to my house from which I came. When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.

Then it goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there. And the final condition of that man [or woman] is worse than the first.”

So my friends we must never fool ourselves into thinking we can out think Satan and eliminate sin from our life without replacing it daily with the presence of God and His word, otherwise you find yourself completely vulnerable to be attacked “and the final condition is worse than the first”

A great illustration is of the apple. Perhaps you think the worm starts from the outside and eats it’s way through the apple, but scientists have discovered that the worm comes from the inside.

“During the summer, small fruit flies can be found buzzing around apple orchards. These are called apple maggot flies. Each female finds herself an apple that is ripening and lands on it. Using a small, sharp, hollow tube on the underside of her body, the fly stabs a small hole in the fruit.

Then she releases her eggs, which slide down that hollow tube into the apple. Soon afterwards, the eggs hatch into tiny white worms which then feeds off of the apple.” My friends, sin is the same way, Satan places from within, starting at the heart, feeding off what we watch on TV and the internet.

In addition, what we listen too, or the words that comes out of our mouth, or the unhealthy things we put into our mouth, or the places we allow our feet to take us. Remember my friends, we were “brought forth in iniquity, and in sin [our] mother’s conceived [us.]” Psalm 51:5 (KJV)

Also “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked…” Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV) So our Savior must always occupy our mind and body “For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world,,,,,,Eph. 6:12 (KJV)

In addition, as you study God’s Word while seeking His Spirit to help you recognize, reject, and replace each sin that the forces of evil have brought into your life, you will begin to gain the victory over each of them one by one as self begins to die and Christ begins to take full control.

My friends, there can be no time out on what precious time we have left in finishing God’s commission until Christ says; this controversy is over. “He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.

And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.” Rev. 22:11-12 (NKJV) So today we must “set our mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth, grace is gradually being removed because the sin of mankind has abounded to astronomical levels.

So the light from God’s presence that is within us, must shine through us to a world that has lost it’s spiritual compass, as we, God’s chosen proclaim the good news of the gospel to the world that Jesus saves and He will be here soon.

So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
