The Danger of Backsliding

I am in the book of Jeremiah right now and God is speaking into my spirit. Everyone has been talking about the Grammy Awards and how demonically ritualistic they have become.
So, I watched a YouTube video about the collaboration of a Christian group with a secular artist.

The creator made a valid point that we must be careful of our lack of mercy because we don't see the full picture of God's intervention. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55: 9, KJV).

But I want to add what the Spirit is showing me. He will confirm His Word. So let me give you a synopsis.
Led by the Spirit I began to realize that there is a fine line in the flesh between accepting God or Satan, good and evil, and right or wrong.

Everything is Permissible for Me, But Not All Things Are Beneficial

1) You don't have to accept everything that the world and the devil offer you. Just say no when you are of God and see the evil intent behind a gift. Why would you feel honored to accept a Grammy or any abomination, knowing what it represents?

"Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the LORD, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you," (2 Corinthians 6: 17, KJV).

2) Now remember that God loves mercy, but we are not to compromise. "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the LORD]" (Matthew 6: 24, AMP).

3) God may very well send you into the "lion's den". But remember your direction and focus. Do what is commanded of you then leave. When the prophets had a message, they rarely stayed longer than to say "Thus saith the LORD".

Can Two Walk Together Lest They Agree?

"Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners" (1 Corinthians 15: 33, KJV).

And again, "Do not be unequally bound together with unbelievers [do not make mismatched alliances with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

"What harmony can there be between Christ and Belial (Satan)? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?" (2 Corinthians 6: 14-15, AMP).

Let's take it further to confirm this affiliation. The perceived warning. And the disturbing of our spiritual walk. Polluting our very souls.

Can A Man Take Fire in His Bossom and Not Be Burned?

"Now what are you doing by going to Egypt [in search of an ally], to drink the muddy waters of the Nile? Or what are you doing by going to Assyria [in search of an ally], to drink the muddy waters of the Euphrates?" (Jeremiah 2: 18, AMP).

(Now here it is...) "Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the LORD GOD of hosts" (Jeremiah 2: 19, KJV).

4) This does not mean that we shun them. But we must show them a better way.

Be Holy for God is Holy

"Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; and walk continually in love [that is, value one another--practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance" (Ephesians 5: 1-2, AMP).

5) Let me close with this. "You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, (pay attention...) and it gives light to all who are in the house" (Matthew 5: 14-15, AMP).

Whoever Denies Me Before Men, I Will Deny Before My Father in Heaven

Let God's glory, the light of His anointing, and the power of the Holy Spirit consume you. Worldly people look the same. There is no distinction.

But we are a peculiar people. A royal priesthood. Be thankful that you are set apart. Remember that the true light of God cannot be hidden. It is impossible. This is how we honor Him without shame.
6) Don't blur the lines. "Listen carefully: I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves (and here it is again...) [having no self-serving agenda]" (Matthew 10: 16, AMP).

Always coming from a place of love!!!

  Don't Profane What is Holy!!! People are committing all sorts of immoral lusts against their bodies. Marrying and in homosexual, bisexual, and polygamous relationships. Truly believing that you can indulge in lasciviousness and see God's face in peace. The worst part is that you are bringing innocent children into the equation. Allowing them to be taunted and scarred by brutal indifference. While exposing them to one of the most demonically, sinister, and perverse entities that walk this earth. A spirit that is so degenerate, it will and has led to bestiality and worse. Now I need you to read or listen to this at least three times. Some may be offended. But because you are leading to the corruption of the innocent. While mocking God when you know that it is wrong. Judgment will be swift and merciless. You have rejected God!!! Did you get that? Because when you sin against your own body. This is a specialized kind of self-hate. Birthed through mental, emotional, psychological,

  Don't Worry About Nothing!!! Can I tell you that when you are fretful, allowing someone to "trigger" you. You open yourself up to spiritual distress. Unnecessary persecution from the enemy. Frustrating your spiritual balance. Sending you into mental and emotional chaos. You allow the adversary to rule over your thoughts and emotions. The negative effects are compounded by a slow spiritual and mental recovery. Every time you allow this, it is harder to heal, robbing you of the ability to exercise faith in God's Word. You must remember that we are more than conquerors. Stop and see this ambush for what it is. Speak the affirmations of God's Word. This is why Philippians 4:8 admonishes us, "Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God's Word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, i

  Spiritual Warfare is Not a Game!!! This will resonate with those who have a true anointing over their lives. Now more than ever I understand that we truly are in spiritual warfare. God's presence is so powerful that people will tend to remove themselves from your company. Recognize that you need to put on the full armor of God. This can only be attained through intimacy with Him. Meditating in His Word. People say that they want to know God and have a relationship with Him. But can you handle the isolation that comes with this? Malevolent spirits are aware of you, and they will shun you. Or worse. Trust me when I say that even if the person does not know you, the spirit that dwells within them knows when you are of God. You must remain humble as you become more aware of this phenomenon. Because the flesh fights within you every day to be exalted and recognized. Pride is malignant and cancerous. Remember. Spiritual warfare is incarnate and irrefutable.  Cassandra Mack Podcast (spo
