As long as we are in these physical, unredeemed, Adamic bodies we will sin, Romans 8:23.
The parable of the lady of leaven .
There once was a man who kept the door to the house .
Who had been given wise instruction as to what was to be allowed to enter into that house .
And if within that house lady leaven was spotted she was to be removed .
So the man kept the charge of the doorway and did monitor the hallways and did inspections daily
upon all within the house .
The man was quick to remind them , BE SURE and keep your beds good and clean and tidy and in order .
In the process of time
the man began to become a bit slothful in his duty and had become rather concerned with the INCOME UPKEEP
of his house . He began to let things slip within the house in order to keep the people paying every month .
In the process of more time MISS LADY INQUITY and her sister LADY leaven came to call .
She knocked upon the door . The man opened the door
And behold The twin ladies stood before him . He thought within himself
and said OH NO this is lady leaven and her sister lady inquity . BUT quickly became ENAMOURED
with all the treasures she had of monies with her .
SO he decided , okay this will i do . I will not allow her nor her sister to get out of control
but for sake of income i will let them in so as i can keep my montly wage .
The man soon noticed a few complaints from the tenants . The tenants of the building
were noticing certain influences beginning to occur within the house .
They told the man , SINCE lady leaven and her sister did enter
she has been telling certain tenants from within that its no big deal . You dont need to keep your bed so neat and tidy and your
rooms so clean . They have been heeding her .
To which the man then went to lady leaven and her sister and said , Since you two have arrived
the peoples are not keeping clean their rooms as they once did . to which the sisters said
ALAS since we arrived HAVE YOU LACKED income . To which the man then said , WELL NO , INCOME has never
been better . THIS , said they , IS OUR DOING . Now you cannot be so harsh on them nor judge them
ye must simply let GOD correct . ITS Not your job to correct them .
SO the man said , WELL said ladys . TO which he called a meeting of the house
and said before all , IT IS NOT OUR DUTY , nor our call to JUDGE . We must simply try and love them
in the right direction .
The process of time continued on .........
and it was not long before many knocks were coming upon that house . But much noise and uncleanliness they did bring .
A few tenants within said , ITS IMPOSSIBLE for us to live here . we are leaving . you do nothing to try and correct these people .
SO then the man said , alas , let me go again and talk to lady leaven and her sister on this matter .
SO again he went and talked to the two ladies .
He said , ladies , look i am having the threat of some leaving here , can you please tone down the leaven .
TO which again they did reply . SURE you might lose a few , but LOOK at all the numbers you are gaining
Your INCOME , remember YOUR INCOME . IT WILL GROW and you will have larger numbers .
TO which the man said , ALAS you ladies are brilliant . I will get more numbers , so more numbers means more souls
will be saved AND more money too . YOU SO WISE ladies .
SO he went back to the few who did warn him and said , YOU ALL can either find common ground with these ladies
and people or YOU can get out .
IN the process of time the building had began to wear down . the upkeep had been left off .
And in a night and in an hour known to no man , THE ENTIRE BUILDING CRASHED DOWN , KILLING ALL WITHIN IT .
JUST a friendly parable to remind us all about what happens when leaven is let into the doors
what is happening and WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON THE DAY OF THE LORD .
