Our paragraph topic is: (Fraternal correction) Part 6.
If he refuses to listen, even to the church, then let him be. This is what Christ told his disciples. Let him/her be. They have become to thee as heathens. They have refused to hear. They have refused to be open. They are closed to the love of Christ that you have presented to them. They have become consumed with sin and sin has taken complete control. Sin has come. Sin has infected. Sin has possessed the mind and body and soul of thy brother/sister. Even the appeal of the church has not opened the door to thy brother or sister. They are lost.
But if he/she should listen. But if he/she should be opened. But if he or she should have some small desire to return to thee, then the church must battle with sin to open the door. The church must battle with sin to expel it completely. The church, the witnesses, and you must work to free thy brother/sister from the grip of sin. For sin will not let go. Sin will not give up. Sin will fight to hold onto thy brother/sister. But Christ told his disciples that they have a gift from heaven. They have a promise from the Father. He told them: "Amen I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound also in heaven."
The battle is against sin and the weapon is love. And Christ gave to the disciples another weapon, to bind sin on earth. He gave them a weapon that will be accepted and carried out in heaven also. For whatever they bound on earth would be bound in heaven. Bind the demons. Bind sin. Bind Lust. Bind fear. Bind false witness. Bind anger. Cast out the evil and bind it from returning. Bind all types of spirits that come from sin. Save thy brother. Save thy sister. For the battle is against sin and we have a weapon given to us by Christ.
Sin will come. Sin will tempt. Sin will enter those that do not have a defense. Sin will occupy. And sin will take over those that do not use the tools that have been given us. But Christ has told us to win our brothers and sisters back. He has given us the formula. He has told us how to fight. But the door belongs to each of us and it is our own responsibility to keep it closed to sin. Yet we live in a world possessed of sin. We live in a world where sin is all around us. And it is up to each of us to walk by faith. It is up to each of us to walk by the light that Christ has given us.
For the light of life will lead us. The light of life will guide us. The light of life will protect us and counsel us. And the light of life will abide with us, to assist in the fight against sin. But when sin comes, fight. When sin comes, cast it out. When sin comes, bind it that it may come no more. These are the weapons that Christ has given us to defend and protect. For he knows of sin. He sees that sin will come. And he has given to us the Advocate to help us, to strengthen us, to counsel us, to show us the way. The choice is ours. The decision is ours. Do not be swayed by the tricks and traps of evil. For evil will deceive. Evil will dazzle. Evil will seek to pull you in. But if the eye is sound the body will be full of light and the light of life will endure.
Come! Open thy heart to the love that Christ has given us from the Father. Seek the love that is yours to know. Know the truth of who you are in Christ and welcome the Holy Spirit into your life. He waits for you. He seeks you. He is open to you. He brings the love of the Father to you. Follow the path before you and become the spirit that you are.
Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself. Do not study it in parts reading one passage and then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ. The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
