THE THREE DEADLY SINS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT

 

 

So, you have given up your worst addictions, forgiven the unforgivable, learned to control your tongue & separated from those with whom you were unequally yoked.  It’s all great!  However, the hardest part may still be ahead of you.

 

There are three sins people rarely acknowledge that are potentially lethal & especially relevant to the Targeted Individual.  They are:

 

1.  THE SIN OF FEAR

 

But the fearful,

and unbelieving,

and the abominable, and murderers,

and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters,

and all liars,

shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:

which is the second death.

Revelation 21:8

 

Yes, fear is a sin.  In fact, it was the sin that prevented 2 million Hebrews from entering the promised land!

 

(Please refer to ‘The Warrior Expectation’.)

 

 

2.  THE SIN OF UNABATED SORROW

 

Paul said:

 

For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation

not to be repented of:

but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

2Corinthians 7:10

 

 

The night of his arrest Christ spoke these words to his disciples:

 

Then saith he unto them,

My soul is exceeding sorrowful,

even unto death…..

Matthew 26:38

 

It is imperative that you stop mourning that which has been lost & begin the creation process anew!  There is a psychological standard of health that is required to be chosen worthy of new life.  If the adversary is successful in proving the accusation that you are incapable of demonstrating the emotional strength & flexibility required to value the salvation Christ died to impart, God in his mercy may allow you to sleep a permanent sleep.  Please-choose life!

3.  THE SIN OF NOT FLEEING DANGER QUICKLY ENOUGH

 

 

What follow is the tragic story of Lot’s wife:

 

12 And the men (angels) said unto Lot,

Hast thou here any besides?

son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters,

and whatsoever thou hast in the city,

 bring them out of this place:

13 For we will destroy this place,

because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord;

and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.

14 And Lot went out,

 and spake unto his sons in law,

which married his daughters, and said,

Up, get you out of this place;

for the Lord will destroy this city.

But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

15 And when the morning arose,

 then the angels hastened Lot, saying,

Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here;

lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

16 And while he lingered,

 the men laid hold upon his hand,

 and upon the hand of his wife,

and upon the hand of his two daughters;

the Lord being merciful unto him:

 and they brought him forth,

and set him without the city.

24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah

 brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;

25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain,

and all the inhabitants of the cities,

and that which grew upon the ground.

26 But his wife looked back from behind him,

and she became a pillar of salt.

Genesis 19:12-16,24-26

 

Lot’s poor wife left behind 2 daughters to destruction.  Unfortunately, her broken heart could not survive the pain & as a result she failed to do what was necessary to save her own life, at least not within the given time frame.

 

Hard though it may be, you & I are also limited by merciless time restrictions.  Please learn to look straight ahead, place one foot in front of the other & advance rapidly while you still have the opportunity to change your fate, remembering always that the biblical timeline waits for no one.
