After examining the work the Holy Spirit does in the life of the Christian and the world in “After the Rapture, Part 1” posted on 5-8-24. Let us now consider briefly the consequences of a flesh that is not held in check by the Holy Spirit and running riot.
“Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, saying, ‘Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are – the Holy One of God!’ But Jesus rebuked him, saying, ‘Be quiet, and come out of him!’ And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.” Mark 1:23-26.
