Killing the Spirit of Cain: Repentance

I think that we need to be aware that, according to the Word, things could have gone much differently for Cain. Although his offering unto Yahweh was not acceptable, he could have humbled himself and turned TOWARDS Yahweh and received mercy. Instead, he hardened his heart and introduced murder into Father’s Creation. His one act ushered in great violence, jealousy and bloodshed of humanity, only one man away from Father’s breath creating man from the dirt.

Friends, when we see that we’ve wronged Yahweh, let us learn from this. Consequence flows down way beyond ourselves, individually. When we bring Father what He does not desire (and we all do) let’s respond better than Cain and lift our countenance up to our merciful and forgiving Father. The entire theme of the Bible is that He receives a contrite and lowly heart.

The spirit of Cain has blossomed and covered the entire face of the earth. Let us be different. Let us learn and change. Sin CAN be mastered but it will take our willingness to repent and turn from our own wicked ways. Perhaps if we will, we can little by little begin to turn a generation in the right direction and undo, in part, this great arrogance and rebellion of man. Selah.
