Anyone can say yes, especially toward a proposition relating to sex. In reality, it takes a strong man or woman to take a stand, going against the temptations of this life, 1 John 2:15-17. Therefore, its essential for God’s children to walk according a different beat, Matthew 7:13. The time is now for followers to proclaim, “let the redeemed say no!”
The fifth chapter of Galatians contains 2 great winds, pushing in opposite directions. While one can guide you to safety, the other is set on pushing you over a cliff, causing your conscience to become disabled. Compromise is rolling into town, with a gentle breeze of “can I get some?” Meanwhile, common sense is holding its ground, like a trade wind, constantly whispering its motto to hearts and minds willing to change. This spiritual weather system is on display in Galatians 5:16-17.
The ghost of Eve walks these streets, knowing what’s right, but curious, intrigued by the unknown. Demons and evil spirits play Trick or Treat, handing out over-hyped Halloween Candy. Inside these Turkish delights lie a cold heart, like a wicked witch with dishonest intentions. Invisible to the naked eye, guardian angels intervene, trying to break the spell souls have fallen prey under. With the conclusion of this tug of war no where on the horizon, the Holy Spirit provides one last message to ears that can hear, “let the redeemed say no!”
