But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; So He turned Himself against them as an enemy, And He fought against them. - Isaiah 63.10

It is extremely harmful to let the sin of rebellion take over our heart. If this happens, everything that we do will be like twisted, absolutely worthless. Any person that falls into sin must confess it to the Lord, and in some cases, to the person they have dishonored, telling them everything that happened and the reason why they did such thing, so that they can be forgiven. 

Satan knows the danger of rebelling against the celestial plan; that is why he tries to convince us that living in complete holiness is not good and that we must allow ourselves to do that which we like. If we listen to him, we will be excluded from the presence of God, and then, all we will be left is to wait for the Day of Judgment, when we will listen to our sad fate. 

The Lord guides us to have a holy life for our own good. For this reason, He teaches us to respect thy neighbor and not give in to inconvenient or indecent behaviors, for, through them, the enemy will become the lord of our will and life. Without a doubt, the one who committed an error and did not repent is paying a high price for having disobeyed the Most High´s exhortation. Now, forgiveness brings us our freedom back. 

The Holy Spirit must never be saddened, because without His help, we cannot resist the devil´s wicked instincts. The mission of the Holy Spirit must guide us in all Truth (John 16:13); therefore, we must be alert to what He tells us, for this way, we will please Him. He is the other Helper (John 14:16), of the same essence and structure of Jesus, otherwise we would have suffered great loss. 

It is pure madness to know that some attitudes of ours can turn the Lord into our enemy, and even so, we choose to do them. Why despise the One who is love? Now, those who don’t take God´s friendship into consideration are giving in to Satan, which breathes hatred all the time. Those who deviate from the path of Truth are irresponsible. To abandon life to love death is simply incomprehensible. 

Those who turn away from the Most High get close to the devil, who has free access to oppress – steal, kill and destroy – such person (John 10:10). However, those that come before the Lord will see that He will battle in their favor. At the sign of any temptation, although it seems justifiable, cry out and tell everything to the merciful God. As a Father, He will help you. Do everything not to fall in sin, for the damage will be incomparable. 

The decision is in your hands. If you are rebellious, you will be oppressed in every possible way; however, if you are obedient, you will have the friendship and love of the One who created you and wishes your well being. The attitude is yours, and nobody can take part in it. The Holy Spirit will help you not to open the door to the evil one. Therefore, listen to God´s voice, carry on and live His love. 

In Christ, with love,

God, our Helper! May we never rebel against You, doing that which doesn’t please You. We want to live in Your presence, do Your will and fulfill Your commandments. 

Why prefer rebellion´s severe punishment, leaving behind the Fountain of living waters, just to drink the filthy and polluted waters of the enemy? We want to bow down before what You tells us, for You speak for our own good. 

We also don’t want to sadden Your wonderful Holy Spirit, for, as another Comforter, He guides us in all Truth. Lead us to do what pleases You and announce the things to come. Thank You for Your holy love!
