Topic: Erroneous Pathways
Greetings Firstborn Sons:
In as much as there is a "path" to spiritual
immunity there are many paths of the unrighteous that they walk and how do we
know this:
Matthew 7:13,14:
Enter ye in at the strait gate for wide is the gate and broad is the
way, that leadeth to destruction and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the
way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
The reason
the path to spiritual immunity and everlasting life is narrow and few find it
because it requires submission, obedience and most of all self denial to
walk. Self-denial is the biggest one
because to be like Christ is to be selfless and love is selfless and places one
in a extremely vulnerable position. Many
to seek their own provision and protection and at all cost, no matter what it
takes or who it affects or hurts they will take care of number one. This is the hallmark sign of a orphan, a
fatherless individual. But let's look
at some erroneous pathways:
1. Way of Cain - Angry, Jealous and Murderous, toward their
brother without cause
2. Way of Balaam - Ministry for Money
3. Way of Kora - Rebellion against Godly Leadership
4. Way of Ahab and Jezebel - Seeking to Control People
5. Way of Jeroboam - Seeking Isolation, Denying Godly
Order
6. Kings of Israel - Idolatry
Jude 11: Woe unto
them! for they have gone the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of
Balaam for reward and perished in the gainsaying of Core
We must be conscious that we are not walking in any of these
paths and understand it is very easy to get caught on these paths. This is why the Bible tells us the fear of
the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and wisdom is the principle thing! There are many more but these are simply six
of the most prominent that can lead a nation astray from serving the Lord. In the next message we will at how the
Scriptures tell us to walk in order that we experience this immunity.
Peace and Grace,
