I Am Missing You , sins against the Holy Spirit / The Seven Deadly Sins

Lori Foster's Story:

You are in this building of some sort. Maybe it is your work place, high school, or college. You are with a group of people and you walk pass a dim lit room, however you step back to look inside the room.  The group of people whom you were with continue walking down the hallway.  You look over  towards the person whom is sitting on a wooden chair. You become curious of who he is. Suddenly he looks  up towards you and are face to face, and  your eyes meet. You are in awe for you realize  you are seeing the face of Jesus, your God !  His presence fills you up with unspeakable joy, and wonder, however you are also feeling his sorrow. You see His eyes are extremely beautiful and you can feel how much he loves you. His love is so strong and powerful , that nothing can ever measure up to Christ love. You come to realize the things of the world are less important, and the splendor of the world is no comparison to Jesus splendor - his whole being.  He whispers to you in saying " I love you unconditionally and I am missing you ! Suddenly, you see all you have been lacking without him.  His tears flow down his face and you wipe his tears with your hand.  He ask you a question " Do You Love Me ?  You answer back to him "Yes ! I love you my God, and my Lord. Jesus responds back in saying "Then dwell within me always." The same group of people come walking back down the hallway, and you see them passing by the room that you and Jesus are in.  Your whole heart is saddened for you don't want to say good-bye to Jesus.  You ask yourself a question "Do I want to follow the crowd ? Do I leave Jesus, and go with the flow? "How can I be in this world and still love Jesus?  Jesus speaks to me in saying "You are living in the world, a place of my creation- do not be of the world. Enjoy my creation and be of all that is good. Do not follow the ways of men, for mankind has given My People broken promises. Much of what the world has to offer are empty and false.  The world has pushed me out of  almost everything, and everywhere. The world has become selfish and introduces sinful ways of living. The world is wanting to present to other's  the path of sins. The world is giving the evil doings, to My People to receive. My Lord continues in saying My dear one, when you walk out the door that awaits you ; take my spirit, my heart with you. Be with people who will help uplift you ! Be with people who want to learn about me and want to live "MY WORD." "For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."Matthew Ch 16 verse 25.  I AM THE ONLY WAY, TRUTH, AND LIFE

OH MY WORLD !  KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN, AND STAY AWAKEN OF WHAT SURROUNDS YOU.  STAY ONE WITH ME, ASK ME FOR MY MERCY WITH A PURE HEART, AND I WILL GRANT IT TO YOU.  MY LOVE IS ENDLESS FOR YOU 

SINS AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD:

Matthew Ch.12 verse 31 Jesus says, " Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven" Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the "deliberate refusal" to accept God's mercy and forgiveness.

1) DESPAIRS: "Ceases ( end, halt, terminate) to hope for his personal salvation from God" is one own self not relying on the grace of the Holy Spirit.

2)PRESUMPTION: One presumes he can save himself a part from the grace of the Holy Spirit or that God will save him without conversion.

3)IMPENITENCE: Clearly resists the work of the Holy Spirit in bringing us to conversion and repentance.

4)OBSTINACY: Is a kin to impenitence, because one not only resists the grace of the Holy spirit, but willfully persists in what he knows to be GRAVE OR MORTAL SIN.

5)RESISTING DIVINE TRUTH: Is to resist that which one knows to have been revealed by the Holy Spirit to "Divine and the Truth  of the Apostolic Faith given by God "One is guilty of heresy, thereby cutting themselves off from God.  ( Apostolic; Jesus twelve Apostles)

6)ENVY: Is a sin against the Holy Spirit because it was through Satan's envy that death entered the world. When one is envious of the Spiritual Good of another he places himself on the level of Satan who wanted God's Glory for Himself, rather than humbly accepting the gifts God had given to Him.  Ezekiel Ch 28 Verses 11-19 ( One must accept the Blessings God has given him rather than look at how God has Blessed another, and desire that for himself.  Envy of another's spiritual good is a sin against the Holy Spirit in as much as it is the Holy Spirit who pours out Spiritual gifts to the faithful.

More on Why Blasphemy is Unforgivable: Matthew Ch 12 verse 32 teaches " but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
How do we reconcile this passage with our reliance on the Father's infinite love and mercy for our salvation, such that  John Ch 3 verse 16 "God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

note: Blasphemy does not properly consist in offending against the Holy Spirit in words, it consists rather in the refusal to accept the salvation which God offers to man through the Holy Spirit working through the POWER OF THE CROSS. Thus , while it is usually defined as speaking against God in this case Blasphemy is "the refusal to accept salvation.'

THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS:

1) SLOTH: Equated with laziness-sadness in the presence of eternal or spiritual goods- ultimately God Himself.  example- workaholism or busy-ness boredom of attending Mass, Church services, or Praying. sin against the Sabbath.

2) ENVY: A sadness in the presence of the goodness of others- it leads us to justify the fact that we lack the goodness that others possess.

3) COVETOUSNESS: Is a disorder and excessive desire to control persons, places, things - example "The Sexual Holocaust" is the reduction of one's own and another body for self pleasure.

4) VAIN GLORY AND PRIDE: Is respecting oneself or others for the wrong reasons- example Money, high positions, to gain glory or attention in having an immoral law passed and so forth; such as abortion, same sex marriage .

5)GLUTTONY: Is an excessive preoccupation with our bodies at the cost of becoming forgetful of our souls, not only in terms of excessive eating and drinking but also in terms of excessive preoccupation with physical fitness and physical beauty.

6)LUST: Is a disorder of sexual desires of the so called "homosexual lifestyle" or the widespread phenomenon of "Living together" Lust reduces human sexuality to genitality. as a result, lust tends to distort human sexual genital activity into a form of recreation. Tragically, lust leads to a fear of fertility, and is expressed in practices such as rape , sterilization, abortion, pornography, child molestation, adultery, and divorce.

7) ANGER: Mixture of sadness and hatred in the presence of what is true. example - trying to pass an immoral law for the world to receive. The group becomes radical and angry.
