Acts 7:51-53 “You stubborn people! You are heathen at heart and deaf to the truth. Must you forever resist the Holy Spirit? That’s what your ancestors did, and so do you! Name one prophet your ancestors didn’t persecute! They even killed the ones who predicted the coming of the Righteous One – the Messiah whom you betrayed and murdered. You deliberately disobeyed God’s law, even though you received it from the hands of angels.”
Oh, children, do you never change? Will you keep repeating the same sin and error over and over and over again? Do you truly believe you will succeed where all others have failed? You are a stubborn and stiff-necked people. Learn from the past. Do not ignore it. Remember what you once knew – that the Holy Spirit was sent to help you live according to my plans, to my decrees – the only truly successful way to live that exists. When you ignore or rebuff the Spirit, you are walking further and further away from me – out of the shadow of my protection and blessing. You can see – open your eyes – you can see that you are living in evil times. Can you really afford to walk away from my protection? From my blessing? From my presence in your lives? (2021)
