Do you know what a spiritual grave robber is? A spiritual grave robber is someone who attempts to dig up the long abandoned and forgotten sins of a faithful child of God and to use that knowledge to ruin the reputation of that forgiven servant of God. Those who do so are accusers of the brethren pure and simple and are judged by God swiftly in the here and now. “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifies? Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died.”(See Romans 8:33-34). Rather than condemn the repentant sinner Jesus Christ died for them in their place, casting their sins behind His back never to be remembered again throughout all eternity. And some puny, fleshly son of disobedience will dare to push his spade into the grave where those sins lie buried in order to uncover them and say to another, “Come see what this man once did!”
More than once in the past I have seen how severely and swiftly God moves in judgment against a spiritual grave robber that has used his spade to uncover some of my long abandoned sins, prompting me to pray, “Lord, have mercy on them for it appears they acted out of ignorance of your ways.”
Long ago our Lord gifted me with the spirit of discernment, enabling me to quickly discern when Satan was moving against me in some manner. More than once the Holy Spirit has awakened me out of a deep sleep to acquaint me with the knowledge to be on my guard when in someone’s presence.
To have a valid, ongoing, tangible relationship with one’s Creator is absolutely priceless. Nothing on earth can compare to the value thereof. God help you to understand is my prayer.
Christ’s Faithful Servant (Galatians 1:10-12),
