BLESSINGS OF UNITY

MY Dear Precious Child,
    When Jesus Christ was teaching about His healing people being by the power of My Holy Spirit instead of like the Pharisee political and religious leaders accused Him as being by the devil, He told them that anyone is not for Him is against Him and anyone who does not gather together in unity with Him will scatter apart from Him.  He was telling them that there are two spiritual entities that were active in the world, one being good and the other being evil.  He had proved that His works among people were good for the people and the devil's works through the Pharisees were evil and cursed the lives of the people.  Jesus had already told crowds of people that they couldn't be in unity with both good and evil.  They needed to either be bound to My works through Jesus Christ or bound to the devil working through the Pharisees and the law.(Matthew 12:30)
    Then in the words of Jesus Christ to the Pharisees He said that every sin and blasphemy against Him can be forgiven, but that every sin and blasphemy against the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven.  He was specifically referring to the accusations that the religious and political Pharisees had made when they accused Him of doing good works for people by the demonic power of Beelzebub, which was known to be the name of the devil.   Jesus said that that declaration from people who identify good works from Me as being evil and originate from the devil is not forgivable even if the same person has spoken that Jesus Christ was from hell.  It is the works of the Holy Spirit which, if attributed to the devil by someone, it is those accusations that cannot be forgiven.  It was only by the power of My Holy Spirit that Jesus Christ was able to do the wonderful work that He did in the earth. (Matthew 12:31-32) 
     Jesus Christ became more precise in His speech when He said that people must make a choice between good and evil.  He compared that choice by speaking again about the fruit of a tree being either healthy and good or its fruit being diseased and evil.  He identified My works again as being good and healthy and the devil's works as being diseased and evil.  He said that good fruit and rotten fruit cannot exist on the same tree, that by the fruit on a tree it is identified as being either a healthy tree or not.   He was coaching His followers about their refusing to listen to and follow the words of the Pharisees who were more interested in putting the taxes of the people into their own coffers instead of using the money for the poor for which they were originally intended.  It was in that same setting that Jesus called the Jewish religious and political leaders "Pharisees", a den of vipers.  He asked them how could they possibly speak good things out of their mouths when they were so wicked.  He said that its impossible for them to speak good things because whatever is in their hearts is what they will speak, saying that a good man from his good treasure in his heart will speak good things and an evil man will speak evil out of his inner evil storehouse.  He told them that on the day of judgment when My Holy Spirit came to live inside of people that He would judge as evil the demons who were influencing the Pharisees.  He said they would be judged by the consequences of their evil words and actions toward the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 12:33-36)
     Jesus spoke a truth that is valuable to remember.  He said that it is by your good words that you will be justified and then acquitted, and it is by evil words that you are judged, condemned and then sentenced.  Speaking evil of the works of the Holy Spirit carries a harsh sentence because the speaker has spoken from the evil in His own heart and that person has sown seeds into the devil's garden and will reap the devil's judgment. (Matthew 12:37)
     It is never My desire that anyone should fall short of My glory.   I go to great lengths to teach My children how to stay on the narrow path that leads to the narrow gate that opens to My kingdom of God with all of its marvelous benefits, blessings and rewards. 
     Your Father of Glorious Blessings
