Chapter 15. Hideousness of a fallen spirit.

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?
