Ecclesiasticus 47:7-11. Mark 6:14-29

Pray ceaselessly to know the Father's will for you and He will give you power to do it. He calls each child of man to obedience and faithfulness to the truth as it is perceived within the heart and mind. Through My Indwelling and the light and power of Our Holy Spirit the faithful and obedient are led to understanding and to service in the Father's Kingdom. Where there is failure and falling short of that which is required, even where wilful and serious sin is done by the faithfully committed in Our love, forgiveness is bestowed as it is sought with obedience in the way of righteousness. Grave sin destroys the soul and blinds the guilty to the light and life and love of the Father's will and loving purpose. If persisted in it will destroy the unrepentant, but the victim of the evil deed is not harmed but brought into the joy of life eternal.
