John 5:14 (NKJV) 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.
When we get set free or delivered it’s important to know that we cannot return or go back to what we were set free from, or it can be even worse than it was before.
Returning to past bondage or sin that we were once in, and have been set free from, results in a deeper bondage to it.
The stronghold that once held us becomes even more powerful than before!
Matthew 12:45 (NKJV) 45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”
The more we keep going back, or giving in to sin, the harder it will be for us to resist.
Jesus has come to set us free once and for all. We can’t play with fire and think we won’t get burned; it isn’t that easy to escape the second time.
He warns us that the next time will be worse. The enemy has no mercy; he is out to kill us.
John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
Repent today if you have fallen into sin. Let God walk you through deliverance. And do not return again to what held you captive.
