And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them

Ephesians 5:11

It is sad to see Christians using Internet programs filled with inappropriate content. Only God knows the number of redeemed souls who engage in this, for He is Omniscient. Furthermore, the Lord knows that, although He forbids the saved from associating with unfruitful works, many feed on this filthy and diabolical bread because they feel the need for this false inspiration, which destroys their souls.


When analyzing the base verse of this study, we conclude that, for our own good, God warns us not to associate with things that apparently help, but are traps of the enemy. Some admire how the lost are able to create situations that “enchant” and lead those sanctified by the blood of the Lamb to desire sin and imitate it, contaminating themselves and thus being condemned before the judgment seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10).


God's patience has been extended for a long time, and some even preach that it is not wrong to approach one's future spouse with lust, giving themselves over to the works of darkness. Why have certain people, who until recently were steadfast in the service of the Lord, given in to sinful and destructive excesses? The Father instructs us: Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.  (Leviticus 20:7)


Whoever associates with the thief—the devil—becomes contaminated (John 10:10). Thus, the same deceptions committed by those who frequent places where witchcraft reigns also happen to those who choose promiscuity to “spice up” their marital relationship. This is serious! If we are not holy, we will never drink from the Fountain of living waters. Broken cisterns? Yes!


The prophet Jeremiah spoke of this evil about 2,600 years ago: “For My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water.” (Jeremiah 2:13) Every time a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven seeks bitter springs, he becomes contaminated. The only Source that does not destroy communion with God is the water that flows into eternal life (John 4:14). Examine yourself!


The apostle Paul was moved by the Lord to warn those who turn to the abyss created by the devil in order to lead them to perdition: so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 5:21) Everything Satan shows is sin, even if it appears to be something good. He does this to attract those who are weak in faith, leading them away from God. Examine yourself and repent!


The prophet Daniel was used by the Most High to speak of the day when Jesus will return to Earth: And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt. (Daniel 12:2) Do not rebel against the Lord for speaking to you about this important part of your life. Consecrate yourself to Him with all your heart!

 

In Christ, with love,

Today's Prayer

Lord, true Friend! May the lost seek salvation, and the saved seek sanctification, deciding to live by Your side! If they continue in unfruitful works, they will be lost forever. Debauchery cannot separate them from You!


It is necessary to condemn the works of darkness! In the lust of sin, some considered members of Zion commit iniquity, stray, and fall into the regions of death, from where they will never leave unless they repent. We choose to believe in You!


Forgive those who have been touched now, for the tears shed by them are signs that Heaven will be their eternal Home. Do not allow the enemy to take away the salvation of these people. We are grateful because You warn us and bring us back to You!
