Proverbs 5:1-14 ~ The Instruction Concerning the Persuasiveness of Seduction

Excerpt:

He is saying, "Do not yoke yourself with somebody who is different than you." Different how? Different spirit. I cannot emphasize this enough. He is not talking about if a person believes Christian things and proclaims to be a Christian. He is talking about someone who is different in spirit. They have a different spiritual influence. It is not the Spirit of Christ.

There are many many people who profess to be religious Christians, but they are strangers to the things of the Lord. They are not under His influence. They are not governed by the Spirit of Christ. Do not become differently yoked. If you want to follow the Lord and follow the right path, and they have no desire for that whatsoever, how is that going to work? We are not talking about religion here. We are talking about spiritual forces. We are talking about somebody who has the Spirit of Christ in them yoking themselves together with somebody who is under the influence of the spirit of Satan.
