09/11/16 THE HOLY SHAKES
Years ago I loved to play Super Nintendo's, "Starfox." However, there was one level that I really did not like. It was when the clingy obstacles would attach to your ship and slow you down.
This is a great picture of sin. Sin will attach to us, slowing us down, inhibiting our progress, reducing our advancement and ultimately causing us to fail. In the game, we had to shake it loose from our ship. If a person does not avoid sin, confront sin, destroy sin, it will attack, attach, absorb, afflict and annihilate us. Of course, we cannot overcome temptation and sin on our own. we need Jesus. On the other hand, when we are submitted to Jesus, we cannot be overcome by evil.
When you detect sin attaching itself to you, SHAKE IT OFF, by calling on Jesus, trusting Jesus, following Jesus and obeying Jesus. Now that is what I would call the holy shakes.
