REMEMBER THE SPIRITUAL WEAPON !

It all starts with our thoughts, which depend on us.
We must resist the temptations of the enemy to do something other than what God said, otherwise there is a danger of sinking step by step to the very bottom.
Let's look at two examples that show how this happens.

DAVID AND VIRSAVIA

- At that time there was a war, and David should have been on the battlefield, near the front, but he preferred to be in the royal palace.
- He was bored, and he went for a walk on the roofs of the palace, as "there was nothing to occupy himself with."
- He saw Bathsheba and focused on it, continuing to look at her until a bad thought was born in him.
- He ordered to bring Bathsheba to him and sinned with her.
- Having learned that Bathsheba was expecting a child, he decided to hide his crime, to ensure that Uriah, being in Jerusalem, would enter her at least once, but David did not succeed.
- As the war continued, David sent his orders to Uriah to certain death in order to hide what he had done and take Bathsheba as his wife. The goal was fully achieved, and David became the assassin.

BOOK "AMERICAN TRAGEDY"

The story of another man who did not receive forgiveness, unlike David
“Clyde Griffitz, the son of a preacher, was a decent and pleasant man. After leaving school, he chose not the best place for work - as a servant in a hotel for the rich.
- Having got into an independent life for the first time, he remained silent when one of his new workmates began to scoff at his faith.
“By making a lot of money and getting a lot of tips, he became greedy.
- Once he gave in to the offer of friends to visit a brothel with them and spend the money he earned, and this happened more than once, which affected his habits and character.
- Once in a noisy company, where he was having fun with friends, he got into an accident in which the girl who was in the car died. Frightened by responsibility, Clyde simply fled from the scene, and then from the city.
- In a small town near Chicago, he gets a decent job for his uncle, the owner of a factory, but in a workshop where there are only women, and he breaks the ban not to have an affair with anyone when he starts courting a new worker, Roberta.
- He instills in her habits that are alien to her, because she is from a very strict and religious family.
- He persuades her to cohabitation.
- When it turns out that Roberta is in a position, Clyde turns out not only to marry her, but even to help her, because he is now a secular man and found himself a profitable and rich bride, and he did not need the publicity of what happened
- When Roberta threatened to tell everyone what he did, Clyde decides to get rid of her. By inviting her to ride a boat on the lake, he drowns her, acting out an accident, and becomes a murderer who was punished for his act, but only because the prosecutor personally needed this process.

Conclusion: in order not to get into such a story, we should not take off our armor, keep our faith and not be ashamed of it, and most importantly, we should not take the first step in the direction in which the last may be, in other words, no indulgences and concessions.
