The Beginning Of Spiritual Death?
Spiritual Death is a curse that involves the separation of the spirit of man (or the spirit of an angels) from the Spirit of God.
Where did Spiritual Death come from?
Some people may think that Spiritual Death came from Adam and Eve.
No - Spiritual came through Adam and Eve, but Spiritual Death did not come from Adam and Eve.
Isaiah 14
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the cloud; I will be like the most High.
Spiritual death originally began in heaven, not on earth with Adam and Eve.
Spiritual death originally began in an angel named Lucifer, not a man named Adam.
Look around the world. Is it true that Lucifer has "weaken the nations"?
It is written that pride goes before a fall. Does it sound like Lucifer was full of pride?
Lucifer wanted to ascend himself above the highest authority in heaven - Does that sound like pride?
Lucifer wanted to exalt his throne above the angels of God - Does that sound like pride?
Lucifer wanted to be like the most High God - Does that sound like pride?
I believe that you know who Lucifer is, but if you don't then now you know that Lucifer is the devil, known to many as Satan.
Satan used to be a true worshipper of God, but somehow through pride, he felt that he should be worshipped instead of God.
That prideful feeling that motivated Satan to think, speak, and act out against God is called Lust.
What is Lust?
Lust is a very strong desire that can produce thoughts and feelings to do things that are not right or to take things that belong to another.
A man may lust for so much power that he will kill anyone who he feels that is blocking his way to achieving that power.
A woman may lust for so much fame that she will step on, betray or sleep with anyone just to achieve her dream.
Some married people who are driven by lust for money will contemplate ideas to murder their spouse just for a large life insurance check.
James 1:15 (part 1) When lust hath conceived, it bringeth for sin.
What is Sin?
Sin is any thought, or any word, or any action that is conceived through the motivation of lust.
When Lucifer allowed lust to entertain his heart, he probably became full of ideas of how to take over heaven.
The evil ideas within Lucifer which were motivated by his lust is biblically called Sin.
Think about this.
When a man lusts after a woman, he may conjure up ideas of himself with that woman in various places like at a dinner table, in the kitchen, on the beach, in a car, at a ballgame, at a hotel, in a bedroom, etc.
The lustful ideas will motivate the man to speak smooth words to impress, flatter and ultimately attract the woman to himself.
The man may even use money, flowers, or other gifts to increase his chances of fulfilling his lustful desire.
Although the woman may see a physical man giving her attention, unbeknownst to her could be a murderer or a cheater in disguised.
All of the words and actions from the man are coming from a place in his heart to benefit his own lust.
And when lust is finished or has been conceived, then it will bring forth what?
Sin!
Sometimes lust will bring forth the sin of hate.
Sometimes lust will bring forth the sin of lies.
Sometimes lust will bring forth the sin of unforgiveness.
Sometimes lust will bring forth the sin of anger, which can provoke one to kill in a rage of revenge.
Sometimes lust will bring forth the sin of jealousy, which can provoke one to do think, say, or do sinful things that are truly unnecessary.
James 1:15 (part 2) And sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Sometimes lust will bring forth the sin of death.
How many times have you read or heard about a woman who was murdered by her boyfriend?
How many times have you read or heard about a wife who was murdered by her husband?
How many times have you read or heard about a woman who was stalked and killed by someone?
How many times have you read or heard about someone who was murdered by a jealous killer?
How many times have you read or heard about a man who thought he found true love, but she killed him or set him up to be killed?
When a person is consumed with lust, that person is not concerned about anyone's feelings.
Likewise, when it comes to the devil, who is full of lust, he does not care about anyone's feelings.
The devil was not concerned about anyone's feelings when he lusted after the throne of God.
When the lust of Lucifer was finished, it brought forth death, Spiritual Death.
When the lust within Lucifer was finished, it even brought forth Spiritual Death to one third of the angels in heaven.
The lust of Lucifer has weakened the nations and has brought forth death to countless souls.
We also can see how lust has spread over the nations of the earth, and has brought for sin in the lives of many.
And when sin is finished, it brings forth what?
Many bodies are in the cemetery because of lust.
Many souls are burning in hell because of lust.
Many marriages are destroyed because of lust.
Many churches are divided because of lust.
Although lust may physically feel good, it is spiritually dangerous and deadly.
One of the many mysteries of death is found in lust.
Many people don't know or don't want to know (especially as a teenager with raging hormones) that lust is a deadly force to the soul.
When people lust after power, money, fame, beauty, people, or things, then they are operating in a dark force that can lead to death for themselves and even for those who are connected to them (just like the third of the angels who were connected to Lucifer).
