A DECEITFUL SPIRIT

Psalms 32:2 (AMPC)
2 “Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity and in whose spirit there is no deceit.“

Psalms 32:8 (AMPC)

8 “I [the Lord] will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.”

David had a deceitful spirit and
 His bones were wasting (painful), and he said it was because of a deceitful spirit.
Satan had a deceitful spirit, and he was cast down from heaven to the ground, and weakened the nations because of a deceitful spirit. We found that truth in Isaiah 14:12-21;
Isaiah 14:12-21 (AMPC)
12 “How have you fallen from heaven, Olight-bringer and daystar, son of the morning! How you have been cut down to the ground, you who weakened and laid low the nations [O blasphemous, satanic king of Babylon!]
13 And you said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven; I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit upon the mount of assembly in the uttermost north.
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.
15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol (Hades), to the innermost recesses of the pit (the region of the dead).
16 Those who see you will gaze at you and consider you, saying, Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms?—
17 Who made the world like a wilderness and overthrew its cities, who would not permit his prisoners to return home?
18 All the kings of the nations, all of them lie sleeping in glorious array, each one in his own sepulcher.
19 But you are cast away from your tomb like a loathed growth or premature birth or an abominable branch [of the family] and like the raiment of the slain; and you are clothed with the slain, those thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit [into which carcasses are thrown], like a dead body trodden underfoot.
20 You shall not be joined with them in burial, because you have destroyed your land and have slain your people. May the descendants of evildoers nevermore be named!
21 Prepare a slaughtering place for his sons because of the guilt and iniquity of their fathers, so that they may not rise, possess the earth, and fill the face of the world with cities.”

Turn or Burn

1 Corinthians 5:6-10 (AMPC)
6 "[About the condition of your church] your boasting is not good [indeed, it is most unseemly and entirely out of place]. Do you not know that [just] a little leaven will ferment the whole lump [of dough]?
7 Purge (clean out) the old leaven that you may be fresh (new) dough, still uncontaminated [as you are], for Christ, our Passover [Lamb], has been sacrificed.
8 Therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of vice and malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened [bread] of purity (nobility, honor) and sincerity and [unadulterated] truth.
9 I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate [closely and habitually] with unchaste (impure) people—
10 Not [meaning of course that you must] altogether shun the immoral people of this world, or the greedy graspers and cheats and thieves or idolaters, since otherwise you would need to get out of the world and human society altogether!"

Paul in this church had to call a judgment on a young man who was involve with his father's wife. The church was acting wrong about how they were viewing this sin... Paul said turn his flesh over to Satan... "turn or burn," was the verdict. He wrote a letter earlier about associating with impure people who say they are saved, but living different then Christ's Life. That Life with unadulterated Truth.
