“Now one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master; and he reviled them.” 1 Samuel25:14 The employees of the sheepshearer knew David and his men were people of a decent human spirit and representatives of God. They thought it was cruel the way the sheepherder (Nabal) was harsh and abrasive towards them. Nabal’s wife had a compassionate and understanding spirit, so they went to her to explain the atrocity.

Today, people see what is happening to human decency, the Spirit of Christ, and Christianity as a whole. We live in a harsh and abrasive world for the purpose of prioritizing the thing which forms what a person thinks, feels, and does. The belief in God, the acknowledgement of the need for Jesus Christ, and embracing the Holy Spirit is despised in cities around the world. The word is out there, and people are talking about the cruelty of those shearing the Spirit.

“But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything as long as we accompanied them, when we were in the fields.” 1 Samuel 25:15 The followers of Jesus Christ mean no harm to the shearer of the Spirit nor to the employees working for those who shear the Spirit. Neither do we defraud them of any money, possessions, or prosperity of any kind, we want God’s will to live through us, which is, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 The Spirit of Christ is not to destroy and ruin but to give life.

“They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the time we were with them keeping the sheep.” 1 Samuel 25:16 We live in a world filled with hostility, and the last thing we want as followers of Christ is for other people to suffer violence. Those who are shearing the human spirit and the Spirit of Christ leave a lot of anger, bitterness, and hatred in their wake. Violence is directed towards those who are constantly harsh, abrasive, and only know one word, “NO!” In response, we follow the Spirit of Christ when He said,

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

John 10:10

 “Now therefore, know and consider what you will do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that one cannot speak to him.” 1 Samuel 25:17 That is the question each one of us has to answer, what will we do in the light of what we know. We know the Spirit of Christ fills the human spirit with the Holy Spirit, but the scoundrel which forms what we think, feel, and do shears the Spirit and enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people. The scoundrel is bringing harm to the world as chaos and tribulation progresses forward along with the progression of the global government of the beast.

“See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. 

But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess.

Deuteronomy 30:15-18

To choose Jesus Christ gives us the possession of eternal life, but to reject Him will cause us to perish in eternal hell.

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
