"Encouraging Evil"

 

“Encouraging Evil”

 

They encourage each other to do evil and plan how to set their traps in secret.  “Who will ever notice?” They ask.   As they plot their crimes, they say, “We have devised the perfect plan!” Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning.      Psalm 64:5-6

 

Those of the human race, who are intent upon doing EVIL things, in order to get what they WANT, stand on DANGEROUS ground.  They PLOT, PLAN EVIL deeds to accomplish their EVIL desires.  They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows. (V3) Their SLANDER comes like an AMBUSH, and they are CONFIDENT in their EVIL, WICKED PLANS, attacking without FEAR.

 

And then the Wicked do a VERY DESPICABLE ACT, that of ENCOURAGING each other to DO EVIL and they PLAN how to SET their traps in SECRET.  They are CONFIDENT that they WON’T get CAUGHT.  They PLOT, what they BELIEVE to be the PERFECT EVIL PLAN!  They could do their DIRTY, LITTLE, EVIL PLANS and NOT be DISCOVERED.  King David tells us:  “Yes, the HUMAN HEART and MIND are CUNNING, or DECEIVING and SHREWD. 

 

However, if you look at verse seven; it tells us that the ALMIGHTY GOD would INTERVENE and would STRIKE THEM with arrows, this is GOD’S JUDGMENT upon their WICKEDNESS, and it won’t be pretty.  David says God will STRIKE them DOWN. And their OWN tongues will ruin them.  Their OWN WORDS will come BACK on them and WILL bring their SLANDEROUS, EVIL PLANS to RUIN.  And those who see this DESTRUCTION of the WICKED people, will flee in FEAR of the ALMIGHTY GOD, and His JUDGMENT would have a LASTING EFFECT on them. 

 

However, the RIGHTEOUS will REJOICE, and RENEW their FAITH and TRUST in God, as their ROCK and their REFUGE. This will cause them to PRAISE Him and PROCLAIM is MIGHTY WORKS. 

 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to GOD, then you may be one who is PRACTICING EVIL ACTS, and ENCOURAGING others to PARTICIPATE in those EVIL ACTS.  If this is your situation, you are DESTINED for an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, after you are there.  However, God has a PLAN for YOU, and that is: IF you are WILLING TO TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN to GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, and CONFESS your SINS to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  And BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  And YOU MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION. THEN He will HEAR your PRAYER and will FORGIVE YOUR SINS, and GIVE you an ETERNITY in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS.  So, do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
