Sin’s Hunger

by Jul 14, 2017Secrets Have Weight0 comments

Proverbs 30:15 The horse leach hath two daughters, crying, give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough.
      

      The machinations of the devil and his strategy to destroy our soul will never stop on this side of life. Satan is literally hell-bent on causing the most amount of damage, heartbreak and destruction in the short time he has left. God put a fire in Satan that is consuming him toward overwhelming burnout. Eze. 28:18 By the multitude of your iniquities, In the unrighteousness of your trade you profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you; It has consumed you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth In the eyes of all who see you. 
      The devil is fighting a war on two fronts; one within himself and the church of the Lord on the other. There is no rest or peace for our enemy as he is being consumed by God’s power from within and without. Isa. 48:22 “There is no peace,” says the LORD, “for the wicked.”
      The weapon most used to distract us from the love of God is the pleasures of sin for a season. Sin is fun. However, sin is only fun for a while then it takes its pound of flesh out of its victims through addictions, obsessions, debilitating anxiety, and unnatural cravings. The result of sin can leave people screaming for a fix to take away the pain that once was a pleasurable time of fun and entertainment. 
      The enemy’s strategy is to then turn those who have submitted continually into a recidivist going back to the scene of the crime so to speak. Many people in this day and age have forgotten that the wages of sin is still death. Rom. 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

      Sin’s personality is that of a mugger waiting for its chance to rob and kill you. God explains this concept to Cain because of the way Cain was responding to God’s command. Cain was putting himself in harm’s way of sin’s effect and Cain was vulnerable to sin’s destruction. Gen. 4:7 You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master. 
      God says we have to control sin or it will control us. Rom. 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Sin will always be crying out loud to give it more and more; similarly to the constant use of a horse leach on the back of a horse. Prov. 30:15a The horse leach hath two daughters, crying, give, give. The flesh of man craves fresh erotic images so to speak, but they end up the same old let down because sin, death, and destruction are not gracious to our life seeking souls. 
      Sin is hungry and is not prejudice with whom it destroys. From innocent children to the dying elderly, sin craves victims no matter the social status or title a person has beside their name. Sin’s hunger is insatiable. Ask anyone strongly addicted to any substance if there is a temptation to do anything, including sin, to get the momentary pleasure back? Sin is as hungry for the sinner as the sinner is for the satisfaction within the sin. James 1:15 These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death. It is a lose-lose situation where only sin wins.
      The good news is that Jesus conquered sin and death at the cross and only His sacrifice and resurrection power can help any sinner overcome sin. You have to want to crush sin’s hunger and get a real victory for your life. It cannot be a comme ci, comme ça attitude. 
      Faith in the blood of Jesus and the work of the cross will set anyone free from the power of sin and death. That is a promise from God to all mankind. We just have to receive the gift of life that has been offered once and for all. 1 Pet. 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit.

Anger Is Expensive 

Proverbs 16:32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.         In the early 1980s, while attending Bible college and living in Australia, I ministered in prisons for a few years. A common regret among...

You Can’t Say That!

Matthew 10:19 But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say. My pronouns are The Redeemed of the Lord, and The Righteousness of God through Christ Jesus. You can call me that anytime you want....

A Useful Idiot

That’s A Lot Of Faith

Christianism Falls Short

Living Loving Laughing
