What is blasphemy against the ruach ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit)?  The Pharisees committed it when they doubted the works of the ruach ha Kodesh and accredited Yahshua’s miracles to the devil.  (Matthew 12:28)

According to Yahshua’s own words, that sin was without excuse and would not be forgiven in their age or in the coming one (Matthew 12:32).

Some time ago, I was instructed to be a watchman according to Ezekiel 2.  I have tried to fulfill that role through my speech, our lives, and through the information on our websites and blogs.  I have posted warnings on health, Pharmacia, organics, nutrition, finances, faith, worldliness, holidays, entertainment, scriptures, spiritual leadership, judicial order, and other spiritual matters.

Now I am led to offer the most important warning of all concerning blasphemy of the Ruach ha Kodesh (holy spirit).  

 

Scripture cautions us not to ridicule the manifest work of YHWH's ruach in men's lives nor to attribute work of the ruach ha Kodesh (YHWH's spirit) to the devil.  The role of "accuser of the brethren" is one we should not take up.

When we attribute an action, or even a person or group of persons, to satan…we must be 100% certain.  Our declaration should be confirmed by word from YHWH, scripture, and witnesses.  

Additionally, when we convince others to regard an action or a group to be of satan, not only are we potentially guilty of blasphemy, but we also are putting a stumbling block in that brother’s path and encouraging him to commit blasphemy.   

Many times in scripture, we are told of the power of the tongue, the penalty for its misuse, and the accountability for our words.  Scripture says we are defiled by things that come out of our mouths.  Thus when discerning the motivating force of an action or situation, we are cautioned to absolute accuracy when assigning credit to satan.  We are still called to judge fruit, and call sin, sin.  However, giving satan credit for an action of YHWH is an extremely dangerous act.

It is quite easy to assume an air of superiority because of our beliefs and actions, i.e., names, tassels, Sabbath, faith walk, meats, etc. and cast out many because of their ignorance of what we consider a “core truth”.  But, none were born with full knowledge and perfect doctrine.

While we quickly condemn others for their errors, and suggest their allegiance to another Elohim, we are loathe to admit that we once were in that very position, before we were “called”, “chosen”, “came to the truth”, or “matured in the faith”.

In the event we are not 100% confident the action and impetus is of satan, with confirmation by word of YHWH, we should hold our peace lest we subject ourselves to judgment for blasphemy.  The path condemning motives is a treacherous path to walk, with potentially eternal ramifications.  May YHWH guide you as you tread softly!
