The Disease of Sin

11 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Ask now the priests to decide this question of law:

12 If one carries in the skirt of his garment flesh that is holy [because it has been offered in sacrifice to God], and with his skirt or the flaps of his garment he touches bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any kind of food, does what he touches become holy [dedicated to God's service exclusively]? And the priests answered, No! [Holiness is not infectious.]

13 Then said Haggai, If one who is [ceremonially] unclean because he has come in contact with a dead body should touch any of these articles of food, shall it be [ceremonially] unclean? And the priests answered, It shall be unclean. [Unholiness is infectious.] Haggai 2:11-13 AMP.

 I found something very interesting tonight in my bible reading. Haggai 2: 11-13. Unholiness is infectious and holiness is not. Sinfulness can rub off on us, like a disease. Another scripture says that it is the little foxes that spoil the vine. Song of Solomon 2:15

You have to work at not catching the sin disease. God loves us so much that he gave us the choice. He doesn't force us to stay free from bondages. We have to decide and choose to do so.

The Apostle Paul wrote to us to lay aside every weight and every sin that so easily besets us. Hebrews 12:1 To me, that implies that we have the power to do that. I found this interesting and wanted to share it with you.

The Bondage Breaker

This book helped me to overcome a habit that I had of smoking. I had been praying about it, and was looking in my bookcase for a recipe book, and my eyes landed on this book, and I knew that the Lord wanted me to read it.
