“Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin” – because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit” (Mark 3:28-30).
The Holy Spirit must be the One who leads from the inside out. Whoever will not listen to the Holy Spirit will be doomed to be guided by the rebellious spirits of this age. Our sins will be forgiven if we walk the path of salvation made possible through Christ. Do not be led by the spirit of this age, but by The Holy Spirit of the Triune God. Only through the Holy Spirit’s leading will you find true life.
Lord, never let me deny Your Holy Spirit. Though I may sin too many times, help me understand that I must be under Your guidance. Humble me to see the wickedness of this age and instead abide in You knowing that You will abide in me. I do not need to know the mysteries of the ages, but I do need You to be the One who leads me each day of my life. You are the Creator of life and apart from You there is no life. Help me to live in You.
Lord Jesus, the path has been made level and You have come to lead me in the way of everlasting life. Help me to see the obstacles of this age. Help me to not fall into the pits and traps of the wicked one. Lead me not into temptation. Keep me from ever blaspheming against Your Holy Spirit. I may not know where that line is, but You do. Keep me far from that place so that I may humbly learn how to follow You in all of my ways. Amen.
