A reprobate mind is, "the stubborn condition of a person who persists in unbelief." The reprobate is rebellious, obstinate, arrogant and is an habitual liar. The reprobate rejects the will of God and is therefor an enemy of God.
The life of sin that permeates the reprobate is a cancer that spreads throughout the Body of Christ creating lesions, scars and destroying everything in its wake. Sin brings, along with it, a disdain for righteous values and holy living. Sin is diametrically opposed to the heart of God and, as a result, God abandons the man or woman that abandons Him and He turns them over to themselves. Just think about that for a moment; God turning you over to yourself to manage your own life. No wonder the world is a hot mess!
SIN is tricky and audacious. Sin makes a man delusional. A man can think he is getting away with something just because no one is around or he does his dirt in the dark or late at night as if God can't see him in the dark! Sin is a multifaceted, complex and manipulative disembodied spirit that moves through the ethos lurking for a "door" to enter in to you mind, spirit, body and soul.
The Presence of the Holy Spirit is a filter that cleanses the Believer of all unrighteousness, uncleanness and unholiness. The Holy Spirit is a fortress that defends us against the spiritual attacks of the enemy. The reprobate spirit is saturated with every manner of unrighteousness, iniquity, greed and malice. They are filled with murder, envy, strife, deceit, treachery, ill will and cruelty. They are back biters and gossipers and they hate God. These spirits travel in packs like wolves seeking whom they may devour!
So when SIN comes knocking at your door; and believe me it will come a knockin', what are you going to do? Who their right mind would open the door of their spirtual house and let murder in? A Believer can uncover the disguise of sin. To an immature Christian or a reprobate, murder doesn't look like murder initially. You might miss the fact that that sexy lady you are attracted to is a Moabite woman! Only "spiritual eyes" can protect you!
The Word of God says those that particpate with the reprobates deserve to die. They are rejected, unapproved, casted away and unfit for citizenship in the Kingdom of God...
Knock, knock. Who's there? Satan. Satan who?....Selah.
