Our paragraph topic is: (Blasphemy against the Spirit not forgiven)
Part 5.
Christ has spoken to the Pharisees and he has spoken to the demons that possess the Pharisees. For the Pharisees do not hear. The Pharisees do not see. The Pharisees do not understand the man that they speak with. But the demons understand. The demons know. The demons despise and hate Christ because he is the truth of the father and will not allow them to spread their lies before him. Satan cannot act in our world. Satan cannot perform evil in this world. But Satan can possess man to act for him. Satan can persuade man to create evil. Satan can possess the hearts and minds of men with his darkness and have them perform the evil that he desires. Men kill, rape, rob, cheat, steal, lust, commit adultery, and do all manner of evil through the persuasion of the demons that possess them.
Christ spoke to the demons that possessed the Pharisees. For he knew who they were and he knew that because of the darkness that had captured the minds and hearts of the Pharisees, they had become like vipers, just as their underlying evil demons. And Christ knew that there was no light within them. He knew that there was only darkness. He knew that evil was in their hearts and only evil would come from it. This is why he told the Pharisees that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. For there hearts were filled with evil and it overflowed into their mouths.
Christ spoke a mystery that is with us today. He said, "The good man from his good treasure brings forth good things; and the evil man from his evil treasure brings forth evil things." Christ spoke this to the Pharisees as if they would understand the meaning. He spoke the mystery but they only understood the face value of his words. They only heard that they were evil men and the evil came from their evil treasures within them. They spoke with their mouths what was in their hearts, what was in their treasure. Therefore, because their treasure was filled with evil, they were evil. They had no good treasure. They brought forth nothing good. They only knew that they must do whatever it took to maintain their power, their authority, and if that meant bringing forth the evil that was in them, so be it.
Christ often spoke in mysteries. He praised God the father for concealing the mysteries, not revealing them to the wise and the prudent, but only revealing them to the little ones. And the mysteries have stood for thousands of years for the little ones to possess. Are you a little one or are you wise and prudent? Do you understand the mystery of the heart? What treasure do you have in your heart? Is it of good things or of evil things? We live in a world where masks are a way of life. We wear masks to keep others from seeing the truth of who we are. But when we are put to the test the mask comes off and the true nature of who we are comes forth. Christ spoke against anger and yet anger opens the door to the truth of our nature, the truth of who we are.
Do not subject yourself to the fires of Gehenna, but receive the peace of Christ that you may know the truth of who you are. Receive the Holy Spirit and forsake the dust of the earth. For the treasures of the earth are but dust compared to the treasures of heaven. For out of the heart will come forth the knowledge that the Holy Spirit brings and you will be set free. The heart is the key. The heart is the vessel through which comes forth the good things from heaven. Do you know the Holy Spirit? Does he live within you? Have you received the light? Christ awaits you. Come, open the door of your heart and receive the Holy Spirit that Christ may live in you!
