Do you crave for being full of the boons of Jesus?

[Leonardo Von]

Do you crave for being full of the boons of Jesus? First empty yourself (Phil 2:5-8), otherwise, this will be your perdition (see 2Chr 26:15-16).

•    “The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways, but a good man from himself.” (Pro 14:14)

When we read this verse, at first, we tend to think that this is a good thing. Nevertheless, how it is the way of all human being?

•    "For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perverseness. None calls for justice, nor does anyone plead for truth; they trust in vanity and speak lies. They conceive mischief and bring out iniquity. They hatch adders' eggs and weave the spider's web; he who eats their eggs dies, and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper. Their webs shall not become clothing, nor shall they cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and ruin are in their paths. They did not know the way of peace, and there is no judgment in their paths. They have made crooked paths for themselves; whoever goes in them shall not know peace." (Isa 59:3-8).

Therefore, if we eat the fruit of our own way, we will suffer extremely:

•    “No evil shall happen to the just, but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. ” (Pro 12:21).
•    “and they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own desires.” (Pro 1:31)

Did you already think what it means to be filled with our mischievous desires, to be delivered to them?

•    "And even as they did not think fit to have God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do the things not right, being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; being full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, evil habits, becoming whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, insolent, proud, braggarts, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, perfidious, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous order of God, that those practicing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but have pleasure in those practicing them." (Rom 1:28-32).

Imagine to be filled of all of this. How the heart of the man is insatiable (Prov 27:20), the more he involves in this, the more he aches for practicing such things and getting their aftermaths. 

Nonetheless, if we forgo our way and stay with the Creator in the True Way (see Prov 3:5,6), certainly we will have a heart whose desire is worthy of being satisfied (Ps 37:4).

Many times, we complain with the Creator when He didn't answer favorably to our prayers. Nevertheless, imagine the Creator anointing our head and making us to overflow all this filthiness (Ps 23:5). 

What do we desire? The reward that the Creator will give to Great Babylon? 

•    "Reward her as she has rewarded you, and double to her double, according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix double to her." (Rev 18:6).

So, if you crave for double portion of the Holy Spirit (and, of course, the blessings that come from this), get ready to the responsibilities that result from this. Have alacrity to see the works of the Creator, even when they aren't what we yearn for seeing (2King 2:9,10; John 14:28; 16:6).

Have a great day staying in Jesus' justice and the true evil will be veered from you (Prov 12:21).
