Sinning Against The Spirit: A Prophetic Warning.

Jesus says:

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. (Matthew 12:31-32)

Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. (Mark 3:28-29)

And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. (Luke 12:10)

Jesus said this in response to the accusation of the religious leaders of His day, who falsely claimed that Jesus was empowered to cast out demons by "the prince of demons" (see Matthew 12:22-37; Mark 3:22-30; Luke 11:14-23).

My friends, watch yourselves.

As we move forward into a critically important time in the life of Bronx Bethany, be very careful how you speak and how you react. "Do not despise prophesyings" (First Thessalonians 5:20). And, above all, take care that you do not falsely attribute the work of God's Spirit to the enemy of your soul.
