8/9/2019 Can You Go Too Far?

1/3

1 Samuel 16:14-16 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an

evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. And Saul's servants said unto him,

Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee. Let our lord now

command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a

cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit

from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be

well.

There was a time when Saul heard from the Lord but as King he made some

wrong decisions and God replaced the Spirit of God in him with an evil

Spirit. I wonderdid Saul realize when the Spirit of God left him? I dont

think so but he did know that something was not right. The same is true in

these times that we live in; people do not realize that God has left the

building.

I know people and see them from time to time that have made some wrong

decisions and they really do not know that God is no longer with them. They

think that He will never leave them and He wont leave until they get into

sin. The problem is that they deny that they have sinned and joined up with

the devil. If you ignore the voice of God and do it long enough you wont

hear it at all and the voice that you hear is the one that will lead you down

the wrong path, off of the straight and narrow path onto the one that is broad

and leads to destruction. Can they ever get back to where they started from

with God? I think so but I do know that some have gone too far and theymay never get back to that same place with God again.

We do have people in our churches that, like Saul, have that evil spirit and

need to have music played on that harp to relieve them and give them peace

and rest so that they can be well but that only lasts as long as the music

and singing lasts. Some of those who are singing and playing are relieving

themselves too. Someday they may realize that things are just not right. Just

because Gods Spirit falls on people doesnt mean that His Spirit is in them,

there is a difference. You will know those who have the Spirit of God living

in them and those who dont.

Matthew 15:11-14 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but

that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Then came his

disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended,

after they heard this saying? But he answered and said, Every plant, which

my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone:

they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall

fall into the ditch.

People will always be offended by the words of Jesus but we must teach and

preach those words so that people will be saved and not be deceived. We

must be planted by God because if we are not planted by Him we will be

ripped up. We cant be the blind leading the blind because we will all fall in

the ditch. We must seek out the truth in Gods word and speak it to all,

especially to those who are preaching false doctrine and prophesying lies to

Gods people. Everything is not going to be alright like some of these

prophets are saying because wrong can never be right. People are going to

have to live right, repent from their sin, and follow God; there is no other

way. I am very grieved in my spirit for some of Gods people and my tears

have been plentiful here of late. Some are family members and some are

church family but I will bring their names to the throne of grace and praythat there will be grace there for them until the time that their eyes are

opened once again to the truth.

I Cry

I weep, I cry,

You dont even know why.

The words that you speak make me grieve,Because I know that you do not believe.

I weep, I cry,


You take part in what the world has to give,

While you do not consider what makes you live.

I weep, I cry,

You dont even know why,

You have forsaken the straight and narrow way,

The broad road you have taken, on it you want to stay.

I weep, I cry,


You are happy to be in the place you are in now,


3/3

But I will do what I can to change that somehow.
