HAVE YOU EVER WENT
TO FAR WITH SIN??
Matthew 12:22 – 32
All sin is serious
And to some degree it attacks or challenges
God ; and not to mention the
Authority of God Himself!!!
There are six sins that identify sins
Against The Holy Spirit!!
Since the Holy Spirit is a person
He can be sinned against!!
But since He is also a part of God,
It gets very serious to be guilty of
Sinning against the Holy Ghost!!!
These six sins are blaspheming!
Luke 12:10 says:
And whosoever 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!!
#2- Lying or Tempting
Acts chapter 5: 8 - 9 says:
And Peter answered unto her, Tell me
Whether ye sold the land for so much?
And she said Yea, for so much
Then Peter said unto her, How is it
that ye have agreed together to tempt
the Spirit of the Lord?
Behold the feet of them which have
Buried thy husband are at the door
And shall carry thee out!!
#3 Despising
Heb 10:29 says:
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose
Ye shall he be thought worthy, who
Hath trodden under foot the Son of God
And hath counted the blood of the
Covenant, wherewith he was sanctified
An un-holy thing and hath done
Despite unto the Spirit of Grace?
#4 Resisting or Striving with
Gen 6:3 says:
And the Lord said, My spirit shall not
Always strive with man
For that he also is flesh: yet his
Days shall be a hundred and twenty years!
Acts 7:51 says:
Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised
In heart and ears
Ye do always resist the Holy Ghost:
As your fathers did, so do ye!!!
#5 Vexing or Grieving
Isaiah 63:10 says:
But they rebelled and vexed his
Holy Spirit: therefore he was turned
To be their enemy,
And he fought against them!!
Ephesians 4:30 says:
And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God
Whereby ye are sealed unto the day
Of redemption!!
And #6 quenching the Holy Spirit
1st Thess 5;19 says:
Quench not the Spirit
See Church we as Christians can hender
the Holy Spirit and His workings when
He’s leading us to rejoice!!!
The Holy Ghost brings us the offer of
Salvation right to our hearts door!! Amen
So what is Blasphemy against
The Holy Spirit??
AND HAVE YOU EVER WENT TO FAR
WITH SIN???
It’s a question that people ask on a regular
Basis!!
And I think what they’re asking is
Can a person really sin so bad that
God won’t forgive them?
Can a man become such a liar, thief
Murderer, drunkard or pervert that
He is beyond the grace of God!
The Apostle Paul said that He was the
Chief Sinner, And so was I!!!!
But He murdered Christians
And He went from murdering Them
To preaching to them!!!
And then He wrote over half of
The New Testament!!
So many people are tormented by the thought
That they maybe have committed this sin
Against the Holy Ghost!!!!
Maybe some of you here tonight may
think that you’ve
Committed a sin so bad that you can’t
Receive forgiveness for it!!!
Throughout the entire New Testament
There’s several places where it speaks
Of this un-forgivable sin!!!
Even though many of us have struggled
With these words of Jesus tonight in our
Reading, if we’ll just ask - the Holy Spirit
Will provide us with all the wisdom and
Knowledge and understanding of
Everything we need to fully understand
What we need to understand about
This sin Blasphemy!!
In Vs. 22 its said there was a demon possessed
Man that was blind and dumb.
And everyone was amazed that
Jesus healed him!!
Now Jesus often went out early to a place
To pray where nobody was there to bother him’
And at the beginning of this busy day
He was on his way back to probably eat
Breakfast, but he was side tracked
He got back and the house was packed
And people were eager to listen and
They were ready to be healed!
The bible says he came home and the
Crowd gathered and there was so many
That they couldn’t even eat a meal
Mark 3:20 says
And the multitude cometh together again
So that they could not so much as
Eat bread!
A large miracle is told of in scripture here
A triple miracle of curing sanity, sight and
Speech!!
Jesus cast out a demon from a man who
Was blind and unable to speak
And also the sickness of being able to speak
Also meant that you couldn’t hear either
So might have been a quadruple miracle
But anyway it was awesome and all
The people were amazed!!
Now today we hear of miracles being performed
And they always seem to be someplace else
Just last week we were in Goshen Indiana
Preaching a revival over there
And The Pastor there said He was healed
Of blindness - and He had seen several
Miracles, that The Lord had performed!!
And I’ve heard at least twice of other
Evangelist’s that have seen the dead raised.
And many other miracles
But that’s not the way that Jesus Christ did it
When Jesus Christ did it
It was right there in front of everybody
Where them and their brother could see it!!
There was no room for doubt of these
Miracles that Jesus did!!
And the multitude asked could this be
the Son of David?
and these people were beginning to realize
that Jesus was truly The Son OF God!!!
But you can always know that when Jesus
Was teaching and healing - that the
Scribes and the Pharisees were always there
To harass him. That’s just satin doing his job
HOW MANY KNOW TONIGHT
THAT SATAN HAS A JOB TO DO
You can always know that if satan aint fighting
With you, then what you’re doing ain’t right!!!
The Lord has given us an old tent and every
Time we put it up to have a tent revival
Watch out cause you’re getting ready to
Have a battle with the devil
But you know he can’t win
He has no power over us
The power that satan has is
Only what power we give him!! Amen
I know what we do is right by the
Bottom line of it all!!
Because the Lord shows us and blesses us!
He makes sure we have traveling money
And He always allows us to lead souls
To Him, to further the Kingdom of Heaven!!!
And we don’t care about the money
All we care about is leading the souls
To the Lord!!!
So when someone is persecuting you for
What you do for the Lord
Give Him praise for it
Cause you’re doin something right
But any here the scribes and pharisees
had to Make some kind of accusation
In Vs. 24 it said
This fellow doth not cast out devils but
By Beelzebub and the prince of the devils
There’s always gonna be somebody
To put down your good works for the Lord!
And here is no exception to the rule!!!
The Pharisees couldn’t place no doubt here,
Because they had to admit that a miracle
Did take place!!!
They couldn’t dispute it the way
that many people Will today!
Most people will try to make some excuse
Other than it being God - won’t they?
But do you think that that means that the
Pharisees & Scribes will
Accept - that Jesus Christ is truly the Messiah
I DON’T THINK SO!!!
Instead of giving God the praise
They were always ready to accuse Him
Of being of the devil!
Mark 3:22 says:
And the Scribes which came down from
Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub
And by the prince of the devils casteth
He out devils!!!
Why would the devil allow a devil to be
Cast out???
But they just couldn’t accept the fact that
Jesus is the Son of God!!
The devil had them blinded
He had their minds all twisted around
They were blinded by hatred
And their desire to poison all the people
That believed that Jesus was the Messiah!!
Its so sad when a person can see the truth
So plainly
But in the same breath, refuse to accept it!
Many times today I see someone that
Wants to hear the truth
We’ve seen it at our tent
People will drive up and listen to the truth
But they won’t get out
They won’t whole heartedly accept it!!
It reminds me of the Judge and the Jury
They will take testimony from all involved
And they really want to hear the truth
Whether they act upon it or not is
Neither here nor there
But they want to hear the truth!!!!
This is how sinners are today
They want to hear the true word of God
But they think they have something to
Give up to live it!
And they just don’t realize that what they’re
Giving up is a burning Hell
And they could have eternal life
Instead of eternal death!!!
Yeah we might think that giving up drinking
And drugs and sex,
And running around to the bars
Or hanging out with our friends
Or running with the crowd partying all night
Is giving up something, but I can tell you
That honey it ain’t nothin to give up!!
I used to live that life trying to fill that void
Where Jesus needed to be!
I used to play worldly music
And drink the alcohol and smoke the dope
And have the different women!
But people the only thing that will fill
That void is Jesus Christ!!!
I used to be that sinner
As many of you did!
And it seems that the bigger sinner we were
The more the Lord will use us!!!
People listen there’s only one way to live
Tonight
And that’s for Jesus Christ!!!
AMEN?
But Jesus always had an answer for everyone
When the scribes and Pharisees caused
Their poison to travel through the crowd!
Let me point out three quick things
And I’ll close
First He said their opinions were illogical
He said
Every house or city divided against itself
Shall not stand
And if satan casts out satan
He is divided against himself!
And second He said
In Vs. 27
If by Beelzebub cast out devils
By whom do your children cast them out?
He’s referring to certain Jews performing
Exorcism’s, and possibly sometimes successfully
But they didn’t believe that their people
Did so by satan’s power
But finally Jesus told them their
Accusation was impossible
VS. 29 said
Or else how can one enter into a strong
Man’s house, and spoil his goods
Except he first bind the strong man?
And this is talking about satan
Jesus would have to be stronger that satan
And further
If He received power that the devil
Then He couldn’t possibly be
Stronger than satan.
Jesus said in VS. 30
He that is not with me is against me
And he that gathereth not with me
Scattereth abroad!
But VS. 31 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.
People listen to me tonight,
When it comes right down to it
The only sin for which there is no
Forgiveness for,
Is the sin that we wouldn’t want any
Forgiveness for!
Look At
The Scribes and the Pharisees they’re the
Examples here of the unforgivable sin
The good news is
That Jesus came to deliver us from sin
And that forgiveness is available to everybody
The ever-flowing waters of the Well of Life
Are always there for those of you who
Are ready and willing to accept and serve
The Lord
Is there any sins on your heart today
These altars are here and open now
For you, to ask God to forgive you
Whether you are a sinner or if you once
Knew Jesus as your personal Savior but
You’ve turned your back on Him.
If you have any doubts in your heart tonight
Please allow us to lead you there,
Or lead you back and make it right
Don’t be like King Agrippa who said
Almost: thou-persuadest me to be
A Christian!
And Festus said
When it is a more convenient time
Now is the convenient time!!!
And if you get weak tonight,
Ask God to give you the strength!
When you think you can’t love anymore
As God to give you that love!
If you have never called on Jesus Christ
To forgive you of your sins
You’re on the road to hell!
You might be the biggest person in town
or the most Powerful person in town
But unless you repent you will perish!!!
Wont you come tonight and give Jesus
A chance!!
