Foolish and strange woman

Foolish and strange woman

A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

To call passengers who go right on their ways:

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.(Pro. 9:13-18).This passage speaks of the sin of adultery and its terrible consequences. Of course, stolen waters are sweet and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. But the spiritually dead are there in the hell. The victims of this terrible sin are also in the depths of hell. The hell for these people starts from the world and ends in the hell. The person committing this sin does not know that the spiritually dead are already there. This sin, if not repented and forsaken on the earth will take the victims straight to the gates of the hell. Clamour, simplicity and pretended innocence are the three characters of an immoral woman. She is called foolish because she knows that she is committing the foolish act which we call sin by the standards of the scriptures, even if she is an atheist. When a man looks at her, he is attracted towards her clamour through his sense of seeing. Even if you are a believer filled with the Holy Spirit, you are likely to be tempted in this area of your life. Keep your eyes off the clamour of any woman you meet. You have to make a covenant with your eyes not to look at the outside clamor of any woman you come across. But ask God to see through your prophetic eyes at her spiritual life for discernment and prayers. Simplicity of a woman you meet is also a trap for you to be enticed. A woman with a lustful heart may look simple and innocent. But you should have discernment in your spirit.

Avoid meeting any clamourous person of the opposite sex at the door of her house. Many ministers of God fall a prey to this lust when they visit the houses of believers where the housewives are alone. Even when you meet some woman who is highly placed in the society, you are likely to be attracted towards her.

Women with lustful hearts even attract strangers for adultery. Nowadays, the internet plays a key role where strangers meet one another for adultery on line viewing photos on their profile pages. Of course, stolen waters are sweet and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. The sin of adultery or fornication is very terrible and is a sin not only against your body but also against God. If not repented and forsaken, this sin will lead you to the hell straightaway. Those who are not able to get deliverance from this sin on this earth are already marked as dead would ultimately land in the Hades after death.

The devil takes hold of your mind with fantasies once you watch porn on internet or in magazines. Be careful to guard your mind against such spiritual intrusions of the evil spirits. Clamour of persons of the opposite sex would create illusions in your mind and such illusions or imaginations would become idols in your heart.

This passage is also applicable to the women who are likely to be tempted by the clamour of men coupled with simplicity and pretended innocence.

Nobody even an atheist can plead innocence on the day of judgment.
