@MAGAVoice Acts 7:48-49
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
It is a heavy judgment when God leaves a man to his own lusts and withdraws the restraining guidance of His Holy Spirit. Many think judgment is only when God strikes, but Scripture shows something even more terrifying. God may give a man over to what he insists on loving.
Romans 1 says this with fearful clarity. “Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity” (Romans 1:24). That is not freedom. That is judgment. When God lets the sinner have the sin he refuses to forsake, the soul is not being liberated. It is being handed over to its own ruin.
This is why David cried with trembling, “Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me” (Psalm 51:11). He knew that the most frightening thing was not losing comfort, reputation, position, or earthly blessing. It was to be left without the nearness, conviction, correction, and mercy of God.
A man abandoned to himself will not rise. He will sink. His desires will rule him, his conscience will grow dull, his sin will feel normal, and his heart will become harder. “My people did not listen to My voice… so I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart, to walk in their own devices” (Psalm 81:11-12).
So we must pray for mercy. Lord, do not leave us to ourselves. Do not give us what our sinful hearts demand. Restrain us, convict us, wound our pride, guide us by Your Spirit, and keep us near to Christ. Better to be corrected by God than abandoned to our own lusts.
People claim David when they want “immunity”, forgiveness and restoration. They forget that David lost his baby to Bathsheba, and his family suffered terribly for his sins
Even forgiven sins have terrible consequences.
So why cant you extend this same grace to me? This grace that you always claim for yourself to justify all your sins and unChrist like characters? And you always have the audacity to judge and SLANDER me. I don't mind the judging part. However the SLANDER PART STICKS.
