What do we tolerate in our lives? What do we embrace that is equal to sin? Well just let them do what they want, I do not want any strife here! But tolerating sin is you embracing that sin. It is choosing to go the wrong way, to tolerate them because of their choosing to manipulate others by that chosen sin. Holy Spirit will have nothing to do with sin. You try to manipulate others, you choose to exalt you by that thing, then you are in bondage. They blame others for their life problems. They find others who have that "victim" attitude! When they find their peeps in that victim attitude, they soar more into bondage and bitterness. Hate fills their lips for their heart is darkened by bitterness. And anyone who does not talk like them, sound like them, dress like them is regarded as the "other side".
In reading today, I was in Proverbs 5 and 6. In Proverbs 6 and staring in verse 12 of the Passion Translation: Here's another life lesson to learn from observing wayward and wicked men. You can tell they are lawless. They're constant liars, proud deceivers, full of clever ploys and convincing plots. Their twisted thoughts are perverse, and they are always scheming to stir up trouble, and sowing strife with every step they take. But when calamity comes knocking on their door, suddenly and without warning they're undone---- broken to bits, shattered, with no hope of healing.
Worshiping other gods brings one to destruction.
Acts 8:14-25 NKJV 14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, 15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. 16 For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. 18 And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostle's hands the Holy Spirit is given, he offered them money, 19 saying, "Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit." But Peter said to him, "Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money!" 21 "You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your heart is not right in the sight of God." 22 "Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you." 23 "For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity." 24 Then Simon answered and said, "Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me."25 So when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
This man Simon is known as the the "father of heresies. In the gospel he was noted as a follower of Satan. One who does magic to manipulate, to reveal things not seen but shown indeed.
Since we have a God Who brought us into existence, He should have authority over how we should live our life. There are a pantheons of gods, but only God lives the way a God ought to live. From Him comes His holiness and much love. It is Who He is and always represents. In this hour are we set on a human self-concern or as God sees it.? Are showing the clear evidence of godly life and living or are we showing the evidence in opposition to Him?
If we live in spiritual adultery, will He be seen in our lives? If we choose to tolerate all the alphabets listed in the 21st century, we have a space between us and Him. We are to reach those who are choosing sin, listed as an letter of the alphabet, maybe blue hair, and using pronouns. Because we know it, we should act on it like Peter and John. We should be willing to cross the street and tell them about Jesus and Holy Spirit. If not, then what is next?
Let us not tolerate what God hates! Bitterness will only shape your passion to control others. The residue to his very past bondage caused him to seek out the Holy Spirit by money. YOU can see that today in people demanding money. They want free stuff! BUT God provides. He knows what you need. He knows that disease or disaster. He is not surprised. Why not ask Him what you do not see!
Ask Him what you might be blind to in your walk today and see what He will show you in this hour! He is for you and not against you. Don't be a Simon the sorcerer!
