TODAY'S ENTRY REPRESENTS ONE OF THE

GREATEST LIFE LESSONS I'VE EVER LEARNED

"A Supernatural Consequence"

"Sin takes away the understanding."

Hosea 4:11(paraphrase)

If you are living in sin today (by "sin" I mean living in a way that the word of God warns against.  Either doing what God says not to do, or not doing what the Bible says we should be doing)...YOU ARE DECIEVED!

Those who are decieved...

Don't know they are deceived...

Because they are deceived!

Deception is the supernatural consequence of sin.  The only hope for one who is caught up in such bondage is...REPENTANCE!  If you are living in sin today it is highly probable that you have no idea the kind of damage being done.  "Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil" (Ecclesiastes 8:11).

HORRIFICALLY!  much of today's visible church lies firmly in the grip of the "evil one," with absolutely no awareness that such is the case:

"They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially,

saying 'Peace, peace,' but there is no peace."

Jeremiah 6:14; 8:11 (see also, Jeremiah 14:13-16; 2 Peter 2:19; 1 Thessalonians 5:3

-If you are living with unrepentant sin in your life today, you're not OK, even if the preacher says you are.

-If you are living with unrepentant sin in your life today, there is no peace, even if your pastor  says there is.

-If you are living with unrepentant sin in your life today, the grace of God alone IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR YOU, until you appropriate (take advantage of) that grace through confession and repentance.

-If you are living with unrepentant sin in your life today, you are DECEIVED...it's just that you're not aware of it.
