Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit



There is concern about exactly what blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is, because of what Jesus said here:

(LITV)
Mat 12:22 Then one having been demon-possessed was brought to Him, blind and dumb. And He healed him, so that the blind and dumb one could both speak and see.
Mat 12:23 And all the crowds were amazed, and said, Is this not the Son of David?
Mat 12:24 But hearing, the Pharisees said, This One does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, ruler of the demons.
Mat 12:25 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, He said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to ruin. And every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
Mat 12:26 And if Satan throws out Satan, he was divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
Mat 12:27 And if I throw out the demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Because of this, they shall be your judges.
Mat 12:28 But if I cast out the demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come on you.
Mat 12:29 Or how is anyone able to enter the house of the strong one and plunder his goods, if he does not first bind the strong one; and then he will plunder his house?
Mat 12:30 The one who is not with Me is against Me, and the one who does not gather with Me scatters.
Mat 12:31 Because of this, I say to you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men, but the blasphemy concerning the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
Mat 12:32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, not in this age nor in the coming one.


The context, Jesus was casting out unclean spirits all over Judea, the Pharisees said he, the Word of God, had an unclean spirit, the chief of them all! Therefore what Jesus was saying was all about someone calling holy works, unholy, and the works of the Holy Spirit are most holy.

Because Jesus was casting out unclean spirits all over town, it was obvious Jesus was not working for them, a point Jesus made, and because it was so obvious the works of Messiah were of God, not Satan; healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, raising the dead, and casting out demons, such works are obviously works of God. So I am convinced that the blasphemy comes from one knowing good and well the works of one are of God, but one says they are of Satan, a willful act. Jesus asked "for which good work do you persecute me?" to his accusers, and that's the sin, they knew he was doing good works! And Jesus knew it. They knew it good and well.

So as I see it, It has nothing to do with speaking against people, not even Messiah himself, as Jesus said, it is about the works, works of the Holy Spirit, calling them evil. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is to know for certain a work is from God, but the one knowing calls it a work of Satan. In that regard, Satan is the worse blasphemer of all, because he knows the works of the Holy Spirit for certain, but he calls them evil, through his messengers, over and over.

I am convinced the works of the Holy Spirit are just that, works, not a persons understanding, or else every single person claiming to be full of the Holy Spirit would suddenly have the understanding of Jesus himself, or Solomon, or Job, suddenly understanding all things in a single day! And we both know that ain't so. It takes time. Some things are left to us.

Understanding is as a journey on a long and winding road. We see things. We hear things. We read things. We meet people. We make mistakes. We learn. We fall. We get up. We try to follow the yellow brick road. Things happen. I am convinced each has to learn and understand certain things their own self. So the works of the Holy Spirit are works.

Works.

We know little about the Holy Spirit it seems, one of the three who bear witness of our Good Father, but surely the Holy Spirit is as the wind of their breath, being entirely holy, every work is holy, holy holy holy, and when you experience such a work you will know it for sure. If you know it for sure and call it evil, it is a terrible sin indeed. This is important to consider, because the rule even applies in this age, this new age in Christ, where redemption and salvation abound.

I am convinced that when a person experiences a work of the Holy Spirit, they will know it for certain. Certain. The Holy Spirit is holy holy holy, because every work is entirely holy, every action performed. Working in people at times here and there, because it's true, we all have some good and some bad within us at times. Sometimes the Holy Spirit finds a perfect moment, working holy works through us.

I have felt the Holy Spirit more than a few times. In those times, I feel very close to God, I walk different, I see things different. I walk slower. I look at everything and everybody. I see everything. I feel more precise. I feel an incredible inner strength, a kind of inner shaking, and it is a great comfort within me in those times, guiding my steps. I'm going to speak of Good Father for sure!

A good rule of thumb regarding works of the Holy Spirit and works of Satan, works of the Holy Spirit always call out for and lead to life for you or others, and a better life. Works of Satan always call out for and lead to destruction for you or others, and a worse life.
