Have you wondered what happens when you sin?
What happens to God?
What happens to the devil?
We know very well that the devil is very real and that there is a battle between good and evil. Every single action, no matter how small they are or whether they were meant to be as a joke - it will all have a huge impact on this battle that takes place in the spiritual realm.
I read and was told that there are levels in the kingdom of darkness. Devils and spirits are all divided into different levels, some stronger than the others. In the same way, there is a level in the kingdom of God as well based on your closeness with God. Everytime we sin, there will be an effect on us too. The devil will see this small opening to mess with out life, and off course it would go for it and take that opportunity! And the closer we are we God, once we fall into sin, the bigger the price is that we have to pay. Sometimes it's not us that pays the price, the devil can go and put our family or people closests to us in danger!
It's easy to say to people, don't sin! Don't sin! Yes off course we know that we shouldn't sin! It's all common sense! But the hard thing is to apply it. Once we face a situation when we are about to sin, it will be unable to resist it, thus opening this entrance for the devil. It's actually as if you're inviting him to come. "Hey, come here, I'm about to do something bad, I know you like this, how about you come to take a visit?"
Just today, I comitted a sin. Something I was well aware of, but was unable to resist. Even though the Holy Spirit spoke to me at that moment, it was still hard! I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about with this struggle. So I ended up falling in the deep pit again. After that, I came back to my normal senses and realized that I have done something bad. But it was too late.
Then something happened that really really made me feel so sinful to the point of crying. The Holy Spirit gave me this image.... (now try to imagine this in your head as you read)
Up in between all the clouds, God was standing next to the devil. There was a scoreboard between them. They were looking down to Earth, to me. It was an image before I started to sin, but almost fell into it.
"I bet she will fall into it! Just you see!" The devil said to God with a mocking voice and started to laugh in amusement.
"No she won't!" God said with a stern voice, refusing to believe what the devil told Him.
"Yes she will! Just wait and see! She will fall for it again! Like she always does!" the devil kept on telling Him in excitement.
"She won't! I have faith that she won't," God said, not with a hopeful voice, but with a trusting voice.
God and the devil continued to watch me from up in Heaven. And just like the devil had predicted, I did fall into sin. The look on God's face was indescribable... He was shocked and looked so sad. He had the most disappointed look on His face than someone could ever imagine. A look of lost, of despair, agony, sadness, tragedy... Just input all the synonyms of sad and you still won't be able to imagine how miserable He looked.
It was an image that hurt me.
What have I been doing? What have we all been doing?
Hey wake up all you Christians! I know that this is very hard to understand and even harder to encourage you to do... But the battle between good and evil is real!!! It's super real and it's happening even this very instant! The scoreboard changed after I sinned. The devil got one point added to his already 100-ish number. While God? I don't think His score was even above 20!
We call ourselves Christians... We call ourselves God's children... We call ourselves spiritual and in love with God and willing to dedicate our lives to Him & etc & etc... But the fact is, that if we keep on sinning, then those statements are all just LIES! Mere lies!!!
When we sin, we are not giving points to God, but we are giving points to the devil! We are not helping God and making Him smile, but we are making Him so sad to the point that it would stab our hearts! And we dare to call ourselves God's army? If you still do, then act like one!!! Start behaving like one! Stop sinning!
"But it's okay if we sin, Jesus died to wash away our sin...~"
Now that's when we're wrong. We've been taking God's grace for granted so many times. If you read the Old Testament, once you sin, you will be put to death already. Sometimes I think that that's what we need since we sin over and over and over again with no fear of the consequences simply because God has washed away all the sin. But hey, newsflash! There are consequences, not from God, but from the devil. Once we've decided to follow God, a sin will be what the devil with attach himself on and start to grow. It will attack our family and people around us, like I've mentioned before.
We've been taking it for granted... You think it's fun and easy to sacrifice your son to die for us? Who are we anyway? We are His creations, we are nothing compared to Jesus.. And yet He gave up Jesus, His one and only precious son to die for all of us who if we were all combined together would not even match up to Jesus!
So, I hope that this was able to encourage you all and to see the truth a bit more. This is what the Holy Spirit revealed to me, and so I felt that I needed to share with you all. I know that it's hard, and I'm not guaranteeing that i myself will now become a Holy Saint for never ever sinning again in my life... But my eyes are opened to the truth, to the consequences of a sin, and to the pain that it causes to my Father in heaven who loves me and all of you oh so dearly much. And I don't want to hurt Him anymore, neither should you guys...
He has done so many things for us... The least we can do is to help Him get His points, not the devil. That's why we are called God's children, right? We are His followers. So we are supposed to give Him points, not the enemy.
In conclusion to the long post: do not sin!
