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!!
