“The Bastard Spirit”

“A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.”

            (Deuteronomy 23:2)

The Bastard Spirit is transferable. The father who rejects his son (child) is a bastard long before the birth of the son that he rejects. A bastard is not a child with parents that are not married; it is a child that does not know his father.

Spiritually, a bastard does not share the privileges of God’s children. He functions outside the Kingdom of God (KOG). In fact, if he never accepts Christ as King, he will never enter into fellowship with the Lord God.

Sonship presents a stark contrast to bastardom (kingdom of bastards) in that the resulting relationship between God and man culminates in intimate fellowship, trust, love, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (HS). The bastard is not a son and is useless in the KOG.

Sonship is the reward for faithfulness to the Father and governs the ebb and tide of the liberty realized through the grace of God in offering up His Son for our wretchedness.
