You shall not sow your vineyard with different kinds of seeds, lest the fruit of your seed which you have sown and the fruit of your vineyard be defiled. You shall not plow with an ox and an ass together. You shall not wear a garment of different kinds, of wool and linen together.
Today the Christian faithful living is caught up in this mode. The deceiver is very clever, to manipulate, and defile our spiritual realm. When we are born again, we have received the gift of Holy Spirit, in our lives. We often tend to think that we have reached the point where we are holy and no trap of devil can attack us.
THE FACT IS WE HAVE RECEIVED HOLY SPIRIT AS A GIFT out of GRACE FROM MASTER JESUS CHRIST, NOT BECAUSE OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS OR HOLINESS. The reason we have the Holy Spirit in our lives and We are better than rest is a trap.
You must understand that it is really important to FINISH well our race at feet of the Lord Jesus Christ. As Paul told that “I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable to His death; if by any means I might attain to the resurrection of the deadâ€. This is only possible with the presence and guidance of Holy Spirit at every moment of our live. Now you understand why do we require Holy Spirit so much at every moment in our lives? We need to understand the deception of Satan works?
“In whom the god of this world (Satan) has blinded the minds of the unbelieving ones, so that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ (who is the image of God) should not dawn on them.†2 Corinthians 4:4. The moment we perceive ourselves as special people of GOD and we think SIN can no longer touch us or affect us. The reality is we need to be more cautious in our lives: If you do well, shall you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, SIN CROUCHES AT THE DOOR; AND ITS DESIRE IS FOR YOU, AND YOU SHALL RULE OVER IT. SIN of Pride enter subtly in the believers live and slowly it starts to eat up the fruits of Holy Spirit growing in the believer’s life. Remember King David, who committed a sin by taking other’s wife despite being anointed to be Ruler of Israel, the man who killed GOLIATH. Similarly SAMSON, who was anointed by birth to be strongest man in the world, yet lost his anointing in devil’s trap by Delilah. Peter denied Master Jesus Christ all three times, yet he was saved by prayers’ of Lord Jesus Christ and help of Holy Spirit.
The main crux of the thing is the Holy Spirit is with you some day of the part and rest of part you engage in sinful activities, does not mean that your are spared by devil. The moment you get more and more engaged in Sinful desires of your heart, ignoring the Holy Spirit sweet gentle voice. The more and more you become weak against devil due to decreasing presence of Holy Spirit. It leads to dead end where you will ruin your life forever. As master Jesus Christ has told: For every one shall be salted with fire and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. The salt is word of Living GOD which became flesh and fire of Jealousy of Living GOD manifested in his eyes. This was seen by John in island of Patmos, when he saw Jesus Christ’s eyes were like flame of FIRE.
Let us wait for Master Jesus Christ as mentioned by HABAKKUK:
I heard and my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself that I might rest in the day of trouble; to come up against the people; he cuts him off. Though the fig tree shall not blossom, and fruit is not on the vines; the labour of the olive fails, and the fields yield no food. The flock is cut off from the fold, and no herd is in the stalls; yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Jehovah the Lord is my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds' feet, and He will make me to walk on my high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments. Habakkuk 3:16-19
GOD BLESSES IN CHRIST. AMEN
