SIN EFFECTS PEOPLE DIFFERENTLY

SIN EFFECTS PEOPLE DIFFERENTLY

If you are a non believer and you sin most of the time you will ... "enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;" (at least at the beginning.) Hebrews 11:25 (KJV) Satisfying the lusts of the flesh, is full of sensual adventure, yielding to the temptation to push the five senses to their pleasure limits. Herein lies the problem, who sets the limits? If you ask lust, when is enough, enough, lust will answer, "when I have just a little bit more."

What the un-believer and the carnal Christian do not understand is that lust can never be satisfied. Lust for sex, food, power, money, happiness, popularity, and material goods, will only increase with the acquiring. The more you have the more you want. Now here is where the separation becomes obvious. The more the un-believer and un-believing believer has, the less guilty they feel about it, and they develop a form of blind, deaf and dumb insanity. They cannot see the imbalance between people starving to death and their having stock piles of goods that they say they need, yet need to buy storage sheds to hold them all. They cannot hear the children crying because their hunger pains are so strong. They don't talk about those who have nothing because, someone might suggest they share their wealth.

However there are four steps to death and lust is only the second. "Every man and woman is tempted #1 when he is drawn away of his own lust #2, and enticed. [15] Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin #3: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death #4." James 1:14-15 (KJV) Lust does finally degenerate to sin, yet it will continue to go unsatisfied till death. Now sin and lust working together take a very quick turn for the worse and create addictions. Soon it is obvious to everyone, sinner and saint alike, it's time to pull away from the addicted one, for their own good. Addicts of all types, have only one friend, themselves. They eventually loose that friendship and begin hating themselves. Many hate themselves so much, they murder themselves.

I told you how I feel about this lust; remember the guy that said, "I will pull down my storehouses and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain or produce and my goods. [19] And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up, enough for many years. Take your ease; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself merrily. [20] But I said to him, You fool! This very night they My messengers will demand your soul of you; and all the things that you have prepared, whose will they be then? Luke 12:18-20 (AMP)

Now when the believer sins, it's a totally different story. It starts out the same way, #1 temptation, #2 lust, then #3 sin, but now here's the big difference: Spiritual sickness, commonly called conviction immediately sets in. This sickness is no laughing matter. It is so strong that all mental faculties are arrested and nothing in the believers life can receive it's proper focus because of the sick, grieving feeling of utter failure. The grieving Spirit so consumes the mind, will and the emotions, it literally renders the person useless until repentance takes place. The sinning believer says, "I am conscious of my transgressions and I acknowledge them; my sin is ever before me." Psalm 51:3 (AMP) This sin sickness is due to a sudden breach in an otherwise, healthy love relationship between Me and the believer.

In the heart of the believer, a major alarm goes off, when a sin is committed. Even though it feels horrible it is a positive sign of your salvation. Non believers do not experience this conviction alarm. A sinner sins, with no grieving experience, he may grieve over the consequences of sin, but not over a breach, because there is no relationship to breach. The soul man of a believer is still able to sin, but sin is completely foreign to his Spirit man. "Now if You go ahead and do what your Spirit man refuses to do, it is no more You that do it, but sin that dwells in your soul man." Romans 7:20 (KJV)

Whenever the soul man sins, the Spirit man immediately begins to grieve, because they occupy the same body, and this paralyzes the soul man, each time it happens. The grieving will continue for days, weeks and sometimes months, making the one time joyful believer, miserable to be around, constantly thinking, "O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" Romans 7:24 (KJV)

If you are a miserable believer, then you are sinning, and you will make life miserable for everyone around you until you repent. You should know, "it is dangerous and it will turn out badly for you to keep kicking against the goad, to offer vain and perilous resistance." Acts 9:5 (AMP) Listen, it is shear insanity, to try to make yourself feel good without repenting. The only way you can do it is to renounce Me and My Father and My Holy Spirit and return to the road to hell and only a fool does that.

If you are an unbeliever and tired of what lust and sin are doing to you, you need only to repent and follow Me
"by confessing with thy mouth that I am your Lord, and by believing in your heart that My Father raised Me from the dead, then you will be saved." Romans 10:9 (KJV)
If you are a miserable believer, just do what you are told, you know exactly what to do, because My Spirit has told you over and over, "This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left." Isaiah 30:21 (KJV) If you obey, we can continue our love relationship and your joy will return!
