Hideousness of a fallen spirit.
How is innocence and purity destroyed?
As the beauty of spirits who cleave to God permeate their
flesh, so does the hideousness of spirits who do not cleave to God also
permeate their flesh. They become like animals, persons possessed, whose
physical appearance reflects a perverse lust for anything and everything under
the sun. These spirits are clearly slaves to the powers of darkness, to sin and
to lies. What happened to our first Father Adam and to our first Mother Eve for
believing the Tempter (Lies) and not their heavenly Father (Truth) will happen
to you and me, to your spouse and to your children and to anyone who turns
their heart from Truth, from the Lord their God.
Now I do not believe a soul turns “black” because a spirit becomes evil. Our soul is a thing of beauty created by God and it will always be a thing of beauty. What does distinguish a “good” spirit from a “bad” spirit,” is the track record they bring with them to their Creator and Savior.[1] Our “royal garment” will always be a sign of God’s love for us and our joy and consolation. For the evil spirit however, it will be a continual, bitter, teeth gnashing reminder of God’s Love for him/her and his/her refusal of it.
Signs of a Person harnessed in Sin. [2]
Nakedness is the first visible sign of a spirit poisoned by
sin, losing the right for the spirit to participate in the divine vision of the
world through our humanity. All the sinful spirit sees is his or her poor,
empty naked self.
The second visible sign of a spirit poisoned by sin is
being afraid of God. Such a spirit lives one’s life with one’s back turned on
God, living as if God does not exist.
The third visible sign of a spirit poisoned by sin, is
trying to hide from God by shutting Him out his life, by not loving Him, by not
working and playing with Him, by not wanting to be with Him, by not wanting to
see what he is doing, by trying to be where they think He is not.
The fourth visible sign of sin is blame. Blame is the
spirit’s response to discovery. Whenever you hear blame, what you are hearing
is a spirit in souring lamentation. Blame is pride's justification for
transgression.
The fifth visible sign of sin is isolation, a spirit who
faces time and eternity alone.
The sixth visible sign of sin is a spirit that has a false
notion of self-sufficiency. This spirit does not need God for his/her survival.
The seventh visible sign of sin's poison is jealousy. The
jealous spirit becomes increasingly aware, that others are more successful than
he is. With less effort than he, they live in that Peace he so earnestly seeks.
The eight visible sign of sin's poison, is rage. This
spirit’s bitterness intensifies by the hour. Seeing others with more peace and
security than he has, more time than he has, whose lives are so simple and
uncomplicated compared to his own, who work less and get more out of life than
he does, simply fuels his hate and rage. Watching others enjoying the fruits of
their labor fills him with anger, for rest is not his lot.
The ninth visible sign of sin's poison, is a clouded
vision. This spirit is confused. Why are things not going as HE planned? Where
are the Peace and the serenity HE yearns for, the Peace HE has worked and
struggled so hard to find?
The tenth visible sign of sin's poison, is deviousness. The
years slip by very rapidly. The physical attributes of youth are now gone. This
spirit has tasted the bitterness of disappointment after disappointment. He
turns to new allies, cunningness, treachery, deceit, fraud, bribery, hypocrisy,
trickery, concealment and all other forms of deviousness. In his desperation he
hopes that with their help he will finally reach his goal. The sinner plays by
his rules and not by God’s rules.
The eleventh visible sign of sin's poison, is speed.
Obsessions take more and more control over his life. Spirits who spend their
life constantly rushing from here to there to assure their security, will
suffer one long, continuous heartbreak.
The twelfth visible sign of sin's poison, is avarice. This
spirit's new god and security is money and money alone.
The thirteenth visible sign of sin's poison, is a heart
that has hardened. No matter what avenue he pursues, time after time, this
spirit reaches and faces the same dead end. For some this is after a few
months, for others, after many years, sometimes a lifetime. Their rage heats to
a continuous boil. Individuals who get into his way will suffer the
consequences and it will be their own fault (blame). His single, twisted, blind
sense of purpose has ruined many precious relationships and lives. He will only
tolerate near him, those who are useful to him. Once their usefulness is over,
he will discard them as so much excess baggage. The sinner now lives with a
heart of stone.
The fourteenth visible sign of sin's poison, is the need
for new gods. This spirit now realizes he can no longer reach his goal on his
own. He calls on new gods to help him find that happiness he so earnestly seeks
and needs. The god of information. The god of authority. The god of power. The
god of prestige. The god of solitude. The god of astrology. The god of fortune
telling, the god of numerology and other members of the family of the occult.
Their common denominator is that they do not acknowledge Jesus as God's Son,
they do not honor, respect, serve and give Him the glory that is rightly his.
Jesus is totally irrelevant and has no place in their worship.
The fifteenth visible sign of sin's poison is a spirit that
condemns. A lifetime has come and gone. Spouse and family have grown and left.
Obsessed with his own goals, he has lost everything God has placed before him.
Everything he tried has failed. He senses that all his efforts were for naught.
His only act left to justify what he did is to condemn. Condemn others! Condemn
creation! Condemn the church! Condemn parents. Condemn the government! Condemn!
Condemn! Condemn! Each condemnation is a direct attack on the Creator, “who saw
all he had made and indeed it was very good.”[3]
The sixteenth visible sign of sin's poison, is despair. For
the sinner, a lifetime has come and gone. This spirit is now more alone than
ever. He has tried everything. His isolation, solitude and single sense of
purpose are now closing in on him. No matter how hard this spirit tries to mask
his priorities or to deceive the enlightened, his vocabulary will continually
reveal him as one who placed his faith in the Tempter, as one who turned his
heart from his heavenly Father.
The seventeenth sign of sin is a spirit that is terrified.
His world begins to crumble around him. He has caused much pain and suffering
to his heavenly Father and to so many others. His philosophy was to take, take,
take, and never never give to anyone. His spirit knows (even if he doesn't)
what fate awaits him when this is all over, when he can longer avoid facing his
Creator to account for what he has done. He sees his eternal separation and the
fire ahead looming larger and larger. He stutters, trembles, falters, panics
and is indecisive. He cannot sleep or rest. These mounting fears manifest
themselves as maladies of one kind or another in the spirit’s host body. The
poison of sin is taking its toll. The days, weeks, months and years go by. This
spirit distances himself more and more from his heavenly Father, his spouse,
his children, his parents and his friends. He is more and more alone.
The eighteenth visible sign of sin's terminal poison is
becoming a member of the walking dead. Prematurely aged, his whole being is
troubled. Continually exhausted, he finds speed is no longer possible. His days
unfold in more and more confusion. He can no longer think clearly. Confused, he
searches frantically here and there for consolation, for understanding, for the
warmth of love and togetherness, for the touch of another person. His emotions
have died long ago. After years of toil and seclusion, his family is a family
of things and possessions. They cannot return his love for them. They cannot
speak to him. They cannot console him. They cannot love him.
“Whereas their idols, in silver and gold, products of human
skill, have mouths, but never speak, eyes, but never see, ears but never hear,
noses, but never smell, hands, but never touch, feet, but never walk, and not a
sound from their throats. Their makers will end up like them, and so will
anyone who relies on them.” [4]
Like the rich man in Matthew 16:26, time has eroded a great
gulf between this spirit and those spirits he used and abused. It is impossible
for anyone to cross from their side to his side or for him to cross from his
side to theirs. He is totally and completely alone. His will is no longer
effective and his conscience has long ago sobbed a last loving admonition. The
days, weeks, months and years go by. This spirit distances himself more and
more from his heavenly Father, his spouse, his children, his parents and his
friends. He is more and more alone.
The nineteenth visible sign of sin's poison, are a spirit's
cries of damnation. His efforts were hopeless from the outset. He is now
unaware of the world around him. His spirit has died. His body awaits its own
death, the final breath before being embalmed and buried. From his mouth we
hear blasphemies, screams and curses, words that reveal a sinner in anguish and
despair.
“What's the use?”
“I'm tired of trying. It just does not work.”
“You can't trust anyone.”
“To hell with him.”
“Look after number one first, no one else will.”
“Let somebody else do it.”
“It’s no use.”
“I pity the kids growing in THIS world.”
“Unless you cheat you can't succeed.”
“There's nothing anyone can do about it.”
“Am I ever tired.”
“No one gives a dam.”
“Soon I'll be six feet under and it'll all be over.”
Life is now a living lie.
“Brother Aurelius, living a lie as we have just seen, has terrible
consequences.”
-Brother
Raymond,-
“When then, a man lives according to the truth, he lives
not according to himself, but according to God; for he was God who said, ‘I am
the truth.’ When, therefore, man lives according to himself, that is, according
to man, not according to God, assuredly he lives according to a lie.[5]”
When we live OUR values in opposition to God's Love and
Fatherly Counsels, we live nothing less than a lie.
Turning your spirit from God by saying, “Yes!” to the
prompts of another, begins a chain reaction of very painful heartbreaks that
will turn the rest of your life inside out and upside down. Everything you then
do will be an opposite of what you expected from life and for your efforts.
This happens because saying, “No.” to our dear Lord, and saying, “Yes.” to
anything other than God, is to live what you are not; a lie for God alone is
Truth.
When you become a living lie, you then live in a world of
opposites, a world without knowledge of the Truth, a world without the solid
footing you need to prosper.
Your soul will follow men instead of the Holy Spirit. Your
life will be in black and white when it should be in living color. Your soul
will live for earthly things when you should be living for heavenly treasures.
Your soul will slowly die instead of enjoying the happiness and exhilaration of
Life. Your eyes will sadly turn downward instead of happily looking upward. You
will focus on self instead of caring for others. Every decision you make will
produce the opposite of what you really need (and must have) to fully blossom.
Why? Because your very first decision, the one on which all your other
decisions are predicated, was that your heavenly Father was wrong, that Jesus
was wrong and that you were right. This is the essence of sin. How can the
creature take such a position before his or her Creator? If you choose to live
this lie, your experiences will be those of the dying instead of those of the
living. If you allow the Tempter access to your spirit, you cannot hope to
succeed, to surpass yourself, to blossom and bloom. If you allow the Tempter to
live in your spirit, your home will never know the sweetness of love or a
blessed and fruitful marriage.
Sin’s objective is terminal, its purpose is to separate and
isolate your soul from receiving eternal Life from the Heart of your host body,
Jesus. If you persist, your sin (your “No.” to his Love) will eventually
enclose you. You become the cancer that will completely isolate you from God's
life-giving grace and separate you from the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world.[6] God never abandons us,[7]
it is rather we who abandon Him. We then shrivel and die in our lonely, dried
up world of Me.
This spirit remembers his heavenly Fathers admonition, “you
may eat indeed of all the trees in the garden. Nevertheless of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil you are not to eat, for on the day you eat of it you
shall most surely die. [8]”
This beautiful spirit, marvelous wonder of our God’s
delight, made in his image and likeness has died. A lifetime has come and gone
and for what? Loved ones and friends have come and gone all for naught. He has
nothing of any value. His death was a suicide for having said, “No!” to Life,
Truth and Love. His death was a suicide for having embraced the lies of Satan,
the father of all lies,[9] for he told him when offering him the fruit of sin, “No!
You will not die! You will be like gods, knowing good and evil. [10]”
What a tragedy.
A beautiful, precious and unique person, a spirit made in the image and likeness of God, wasted the blessings of love and life, the blessings of a life as God’s Child and heir to his Kingdom. A heart once full of love, beauty and splendor has withered, shriveled and died. What terrible harm has this spirit inflicted on those he trapped in his blind madness, on spouse, children, parents and friends?
