Perversion is defined as the condition of being perverted or corrupt. It is the deviation from the natural to unnatural sexual acts or practices, especially when it is performed regularly. The spirit of perversion can manifest itself in many ways, such as sexual perversions, child abuse, pornography, incest, having a dirty mind, chronic worry, fooling around, twisting the word of God, wrongdoing, abortion, having a broken spirit, doctrinal error and atheism.
In the Book of Isaiah it is spoken of God allowing a wicked spirit to mix in the midst of Egypt due to its continual sin and disobedience to God. It says: “The Lord has mingled a wicked spirit in her midst; and they have caused Egypt to err in all their work, as a drunkard staggers in his vomit.”
Due to man’s disobedience and rebellion against God and the hidden word, He will allow an evil spirit to take over the minds and hearts of people who embrace and welcome this spirit. We are given choices in life and God never forces us to serve Him. He has given us free will. With this free will we can serve you and obey your word, or we can choose not to serve you and disobey your word, it’s that simple.
We must understand although through our actions we will always reap a reaction. When we obey God and His Word, we reap abundant life, blessings, protection, joy, peace, love, and all the good that God has intended for our lives. When we rebel against God’s Word and choose to live life our own way, we reap sadness and pain, pain, confusion, lack, poverty, and even death. Proverbs 14:12 “There is a way that seems to be straight, but in the end it leads to death.”
God’s love for us
John 3:16 says: “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but have eternal life.”
God loves us all so much, which is why he has created an escape route for everything we could get into. The Bible says that there is no test or temptation that comes his way that is beyond the course of what others have had to do. face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; You will never allow yourself to be pushed beyond your limit. will always be there to help you get through it.
From the beginning of time in the Garden of Eden, God has set life and death before us. When he spoke to Adam in the garden and told him not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he was putting Adam on the path of life. It is up to Adam to obey God’s word and choose life. He warned Adam that if he ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he would surely die.
This was not God tempting Adam to disobey him because God never tempts us with evil or to do evil. Remember that God has given us all free will and it is up to us to choose to live according to His Word. His word is the best for us because He is our Creator. He knows our beginning, our end, and our journey in between. There is nothing difficult for God. Nothing is a mystery or a surprise to God, but it is to us. God has already walked our entire lives for us. He knows the traps that Satan has set to kill our dreams, steal our destiny, and destroy our future. God knows where stumbling blocks have been placed in the path of life to make you stumble and fall. He knows where the enemy has set up the hidden trenches for you to fall and get lost in dark places of confusion and despair so you can surrender and die!
In the end, we will fall into the traps of life that the enemy has set for us, when we choose to walk in rebellion to God’s laws. God has given us His laws for our protection. He is like a good father. As parents, we give our children rules that they must obey and follow, not because we want to spoil their fun and make them miserable. We give them rules for their protection, to keep them safe from evil, and to save their lives. The same is true of God. His love for us is even greater and his Word is always given to us for our protection, to keep us safe from the evil one and to give us eternal and abundant life.
Disobedience leads to perversion
According to Romans 1: 18-32, we see how our disobedience can and will lead to a spirit of perversion that takes hold of us. It says: “God shows his wrath from heaven against all sinners and wicked people who suppress the truth with their iniquity. They know the truth about God because he has made it evident to them. Because since the world was created, people have seen earth and heaven. Through all that God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities: his eternal power and his divine nature. Therefore, they have no excuse for not knowing God. Yes, they knew God, but they would not worship him as God. or even thank him. And they began to think of silly ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became completely foolish. And instead of worshiping to the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mothers, birds, animals and reptiles, so God abandoned them to do whatever shameful thing their hearts desired.
As a result, they did vile and degrading things to each other’s bodies. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things that God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise. Amen. That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way of having sex and instead allowed sex with each other. And men, instead of having normal sex with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things to other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the punishment they deserved. Because they thought it was foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolishness and allowed them to do things that should never be done. Their lives were filled with all kinds of wickedness, sin, greed, hatred, envy, murder, brawl, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They are traitors, God-haters, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways to sin and disobey their parents. They refuse to understand, they break their promises, they are heartless and have no mercy. They know that God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, but they do them anyway. Worse still, they encourage others to do it too.
As we can see, as a result of disobedience, their lives were filled with all kinds of wickedness, sin, greed, hatred, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. These are the results of what happens when we try to do things our way. It also tells us that they also disobey their parents. Does this sound like the age we live in today, where children are disobedient to their parents and even kill their parents because they don’t want to obey their rules?
Consequences of disobedience
There are always consequences for sin. Even knowing that God’s law and His Word were for their protection, the people decided to disobey. Verse 26 says that is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. When we continue to live this life according to our own lustful desires and walk after the spirit of perversion, God will remove His Hand and His protection over a person, a city, a state, or even an entire nation. When God’s hand is taken away and this spirit of perversion released, the nation gets into all kinds of trouble.
