Passing Pleasure, Permanent Pain

We live in a society that thinks that there can be pleasure without pain. There is a definition that goes.. "Sin is the deceptive offer of pleasure without penalty" This can range anywhere from people living together without being under the blessing of the marriage covet, a person involved in a crooked deal seeking personal profit, a lie told in the attempt to cover the truth, the defimation of anothers character with the intension of getting ahead or making oneself look good, an assasination of anothers reputation by a toxic tounge. The list can be a mile long. Why? The bible says that in the last days people will love pleasures more than they love God(2 Tim 3:4) This means that individuals will be so engulfed in the deception of their pleasures that they will forget the power of principle. This is what happened to Sampson. The strongest man in the bible with an incredible annointing upon his life. He defeated a whole host that encamped round about by the single jawbone of a donkey. His pleasure lead him astray. Despite the warnings of his parents, he had forgotten the power of principle. It was in his consecration as a Nazarite, that a razor was never to touch his head thus granting him his strength. Principle finally caught up with Sampson while sharing the secret of his strength with devilous Delia. He was quickly captured and exposed publically. It was pain on display! This is the enemies darkest desire, to make us a spectacle of shame. We cannot run fast enough to hide from the radar of principle. Surely are sins shall find us out(Num 32:23) The bible says that there is pleasure in sin for a season(Heb 11:25) The Lord spoke to me almost two years ago with this phrase "Practicing Principles Produces Power." When were people of principle, we'll people of his power!
