Scripture:
John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43Why do you not understand my speech? Even, because you cannot hear my word. 44You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Word:
Have nothing to do with the works of the devil, they are deceitful and captivating. The weak fall prey to their power by appealing to your own lusts (and weaknesses). I desire you walk clean and uprightly before Me, with nothing between us. But, I will not look upon sin. I will not bless sin. Sin is the work of the flesh, the fallen nature of man. To be encumbered with iniquity after one was made clean and forgiven much is as the dog returning to his vomit. The well of mercy and glory has run dry (For those who weary God by continually saying forgive me, yet love the sin, trying to serve two masters, God and their own lusts.) Will I repay My mercy with more mercy? Shall I be crucified again? You, who are unwilling to stand fast, continually wear on Me. Choose who you will serve, for the time of grace comes to an end! Walking in righteousness as in the former rain, is what you were prepared for. Stand fast (Though you would not believe and walk in the Spirit, in truth), do not waiver, for though you will cry out, I will not listen, you would not serve Me in the green season. Hold fast to what you have that in the day of decision you may preserve your (eternal) life.
What argument or excuse will you defend yourself with? God (the Judge) will do right in all the earth, for all times. Those who were given much, should have given much (Luke 7:47…I say unto you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little. 48And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.) in return, yet for lust, they prevailed (imposed) upon the mercy of the Father; Thereby, falling from grace (unmerited favor) to a life in the flesh (faithless, unable to have ears to hear), Apart, from their first estate (joint heirs) and having become as the fallen angels, awaiting judgment and eternal damnation, Apart, from the Father of life, of the light of joy.
Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all else, everything that matters, will be added to you. Trust (Him/God) with all your heart, and see with your own eyes the glory of God in your life.

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. 8For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Thinking one knows truth and actually knowing truth are two totally different things. Thinking one has or gets the Holy Spirit without the biblical proof is not truth. Thinking one is acceptable to God without biblical proof or God telling you is not true either.
1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 9If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
God’s Witness, proof/evidence to man is this; The Word, the washing of the water, repentance and water baptism. The Blood, forgiveness by faith, believing all that is written, the power to become sons and daughters. The Spirit, the Spirit who actually, in reality comes to you, talks to you, shows you things to come, the promise of the Father, the Kingdom of God that comes to you, making your calling and election sure.

Amen.
Strong but necessary words for all of us to hear. We must be careful where we stand, not merely saying that we are careful or thinking that quoting the scripture is enough, but truly living our life daily before God so that He may tell us that we are clean.
May we (I) continue to keep our eyes fixed on God that we would not look to the left or to the right, and that we may continually please Him.
In Him,
Ryan
Good thought Ryan,
I believe that this word can apply as little or as much as it is true in each life, including my own.
Some may think that this word is the carnal side of this scripture: Luke 12:45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
Many don't like to "feel" uneasy about their faith. Some are so humble and confused that they take every word as though it was them that God was speaking to. No this word is to those who made the humble and confused to "feel" as they do. They are the ones, in fact, who have abused the above scripture.
God is not far off or difficult to know. He is a loving, caring Father who delights in His children as any "good" and godly father would be. His anger is kindled toward religious abusers, as the Phrases where. The trouble is that most abusers don't think that they are, their just doing their job. They have long since given up on the love of truth because of iniquity in their own ranks. They cannot tell good from evil, better for them that they had a millstone necktie.
Father have mercy on the lame and wounded of Your House.
