February 5 Trust the Spirit

Trust the Spirit

Mark 3:22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebub! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”
&
Mark 3:28-29 “I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin.”

YOU SAY, “I thought God forgave all sins. What’s this eternal sin?”
This does seem to contradict the picture of the all-forgiving God who offers you forgiveness and salvation if (Romans 10:9) you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
How can there be any eternal sin?
When you look at Mark 3:22, you see the teachers refusing to believe the Holy Spirit is working to drive demons from people. They are giving the credit due God to Satan.
Now is it clear why this is an eternal, unforgiveable sin? These men refuse to give praise and worship to the holy God, who clearly shows his power to heal.
Do you get that way? Do you refuse, first of all, to believe the Holy Spirit can and will do miracles in your life? Do you believe the Holy Spirit has the power to heal your disease, to guide your life, and to save you from Hell?
Or, do you give credit of the good things in your life to luck, coincidence and chance?
If so, you are neglecting the power of the Holy Spirit. You must stop that false thinking and turn to trust the truth of the Spirit in your life.
Believe in the Spirit. He is alive and powerful. He loves you.


Pause and consider: How is anything possible without the living Spirit of God?
