“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Proverbs 16: 17, 18 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; He who keeps his way preserves his soul.

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah

Why do we fall from the growth of our soul? 

Let us safeguard from falling. Let us think

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past day, we meditated regarding how God anoints us and regarding the calling for his work that he calls us for and regarding how in between that calling the reason that we fall down. In the circumstance of us falling, we must think regarding where we fell and renew ourselves and repent again and we must be saved, and God is showing this as a pattern.

Regarding the falling of Israel God is telling the prophet Amos in a vision

Amos 5: 1 – 7 Hear this word which I take up against you, a lamentation, O house of Israel:

The virgin of Israel has fallen; she will rise no more. She lies forsaken on her land; there is no one to raise her up.

For thus says the Lord God: “The city that goes out by a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which goes out by a hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”

For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live;

But do not seek Bethel, nor enter Gilgal, nor pass over to Beersheba;

For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nothing.

Seek the Lord and live, lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, with no one to quench it in Bethel—

You who turn justice to wormwood, and lay righteousness to rest in the earth!”

My dear people, each one of us must search ourselves thoroughly as to who falls down in the spiritual life. The virgin of Israel has fallen means how our soul, which is the bride church falls is that it is the soul which lusts the world, fleshly thoughts and due to such things. This is because though they have received salvation from God but they do not wait for him but in their lives they live stuck to the world according to traditions in the path that their fathers walked through. Also, they are also searching God. And in that, some people are putting names such as Bethel, Gilgal, Beersheba for their important places. If traditions are in our soul, we will give importance to these places also. All the names of these places are shown by God as a pattern to us only but do not think that all these are God. Places with such names should not rise up in the deeds of our soul but God should rise up as that name. That is why God says that they shall go into captivity and shall come to nothing. 

Such kind of people turn justice to wormwood, and lay righteousness to rest in the earth! God is telling these people seek God and you shall live. Also, not only names being put but we are also doing the iniquity that our fathers did in the past days. But, if we will submit ourselves to God, that iniquity, sin everything is borne by our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. We must realize that now that place, day everything is only Christ.

We must safeguard our soul so that it does not fall any time. World, lusts, fleshly thoughts, if these thoughts will form in our soul we will fall down and there is no doubt about it. How will we know that we have fallen? We will walk in the guise of the people of the world. Also, our daily meditation will decrease, the time for prayer will decrease and we will spend our time in useless things. We will spend our blessings on useless things. My dear people who are reading this, each one of you analyse and know yourselves and if we will correct ourselves it will be very good.

Also, when Daniel saw a vision that he was by the River Ulai, he sees a ram which had two horns. The ram which had two horns, its one horn was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last. No animal could withstand it. And that ram did according to his will and became great.

Next when he was considering, a male goat came from without touching the ground; and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

Then he came to the ram that had two horns and ran at him with furious power. And he attacked the ram with rage and broke his two horns and cast him down to the ground and trampled him; and there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand.

Then the male goat grew very great; but when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it four notable ones came up toward the four winds of heaven. And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Glorious Land. 

Daniel 8: 10, 11 And it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground and trampled them. 

He even exalted himself as high as the Prince of the host; and by him the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of His sanctuary was cast down.

My dear people, when we meditate the above- mentioned verses the kingdoms of the world and their authorities are becoming great in our soul, the spirit of the kings of the world (spirit of the mighty) are becoming great and strong. In this manner, the ram with the two horns are deeds of the kings of Media and Persia (strength of the flesh). And the male goat is the deeds of the king of the kingdom of Greece (spirit of the world). God is showing the large horn as the (first king) as a pattern and if the strength of our soul is stuck with the flesh and deeds of the world, we are weak in faith. In that case all these people will push us to fall down.

Regarding that only, it is written that it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground and trampled them.

My dear people, we are those stars. But because we are not stars of God, the enemy is overcoming us. That is why only the hosts of heaven, that is only God lifts himself up and from him the daily offering (our daily meditation) is removed and then we see that the holy place of God (in our soul) is pushed down. In this manner, the spirits of the mighty pushes us down. We will see tomorrow how we can be delivered from this. Let us submit ourselves so that we will safeguard ourselves from falling.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
