Rooted in Spiritual Deficiency

      • Psalms 106:1-3KJV

  • Hebrews 12:15-17KJ & HEB 10:21-31 TPT

    Hebrews 12:15–17 KJV
    15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
    Hebrews 12:17 TPT
    17 And we know that later on when he wanted to inherit his father’s blessing, he was turned away, even though he begged for it with bitter tears, for it was too late then to repent.
    What can you do when it’s to late to Repent?
    Hebrews 10:21–31 TPT
    21 And since we now have a magnificent King-Priest to welcome us into God’s house, 22 we come closer to God and approach him with an open heart, fully convinced by faith that nothing will keep us at a distance from him. For our hearts have been sprinkled with blood to remove impurity and we have been freed from an accusing conscience and now we are clean, unstained, and presentable to God inside and out! 23 So now we must cling tightly to the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps his promises! 24 Discover creative ways to encourage others and to motivate them toward acts of compassion, doing beautiful works as expressions of love. 25 This is not the time to pull away and neglect meeting together, as some have formed the habit of doing, because we need each other! In fact, we should come together even more frequently, eager to encourage and urge each other onward as we anticipate that day dawning. 26 For if we continue to persist in deliberate sin after we have known and received the truth, there is not another sacrifice for sin to be made for us. 27 But this would qualify one for the certain, terrifying expectation of judgment and the raging fire ready to burn up his enemies! 28 Anyone who disobeyed Moses’ law died without mercy on the simple evidence of two or three witnesses. 29 How much more severely do you suppose a person deserves to be judged who has contempt for God’s Son, and who scorns the blood of the new covenant that made him holy, and who mocks the Spirit who gives him grace? 30 For we know him who said, “I have the right to take revenge and pay them back for their evil!” And also, “The Lord God will judge his own people!” 31 It is the most terrifying thing of all to come under the judgment of the Living God!
    Today we need to have a GT Session dealing with the tendency of how Christians can become ROOTED in Esau.(Stretch those legs out) i’m about to step on that big toe)
    First Question:
    “What are you trading your birthright for? 
    (Hold That Thought)
    Gen Chapter 25-28 shares this story: Esau and Jacob were twin sons of Isaac and Rebekah, with Esau born first and therefore holding the birthright—the privileged status and larger inheritance of the firstborn.
    One day Esau came in from the field exhausted and hungry, and Jacob was cooking stew. Esau begged for some, and Jacob seized the moment, demanding Esau sell his birthright in exchange for the stew.
    Treating his spiritual and family privilege lightly, Esau agreed and swore an oath, trading his birthright for a single meal.
    Years later, when Isaac there father was old and nearly blind, he prepared to give the formal blessing of the firstborn to Esau. Rebekah, remembering God’s word that the older would serve the younger, instructed Jacob to disguise himself as Esau and bring Isaac food so he could receive the blessing instead.
    Isaac, confused by Jacob’s voice but persuaded by the feel and smell of Esau’s garments and the meal brought to him, pronounced the covenant blessing over Jacob, granting him abundance and rule over his brothers.
    Shortly after, Esau returned with his own prepared meal, expecting the blessing. When Isaac realized he had already given the blessing to Jacob, he trembled, knowing the deed could not be reversed. Esau wept bitterly, pleading for a blessing, but Isaac could only give him a lesser, more difficult future. Esau then realized both his birthright and his blessing had gone to Jacob, and his Grief turned into Hatred & UNFORGIVENESS. He determined in his heart that after his father died, he would kill Jacob. When Rebekah learned of Esau’s plan, she sent Jacob away to her family in Padan-aram (Haran), both to find a wife and to protect him from Esau’s anger, setting the stage for Jacob’s encounters with God and his eventual return.
    “What are you trading your birthright for? A relationship, A habit, A moment, A feeling? And will it be worth the tears later?”
    The characterization of Esau as “profane” in Hebrews 12:16 captures a fundamental spiritual deficiency that operates across multiple dimensions of his life and choices.

    Spiritual Indifference as Core Identity

    The term “profane” derives from Latin meaning “outside the temple, common, ordinary, not sacred,”1 describing someone fundamentally untethered from God’s claims. Esau’s profanity wasn’t about blasphemy but rather a complete failure to recognize God’s authority over his life.1 His entire record shows no evidence of fearing God, with his defining act being contemptuous disregard for God’s blessing when he sold his birthright, revealing unbelief regarding Abraham’s covenant promises.
    CAN I TALK TO THE PERSON GOD LOVE’S BUT YOU LOVE LIVING OUTSIDE THE TEMPLE
    YOU LIKE CHURCH AND GOD BUT YOU LOVE YOUR COMMON FRIENDS, YOUR ORDINARY LIFE AND FAMILY, MARRIAGE, LIVING HOLY ISN’T SACRED TO YOU.
    The evidence is how you play Church, you disregard Gods blesings and your birthright and its easy to play in church becasue you lack the Fear and reverence of God…..

    An Unguarded Character

    The Greek word literally means “that which may be trodden”—unfenced ground outside sacred spaces—making “profane” the apt translation for something in front of the temple rather than within it. Without spiritual safeguards, Esau’s mind became a place where base passions like hunger ran unchecked by any commanding principles, with no guardian presence or worthy affections to restrain him.

    Contempt for Spiritual Inheritance

    Esau’s profanity manifested in selling his birthright—which carried priestly honor and privilege—to satisfy hunger, demonstrating he had no appreciation for spiritual life and centered his existence on bodily gratification. 4 The birthright conferred a double inheritance and preeminence connected to the Messiah’s descent, making Esau’s despising of it an act of rejecting the high distinction of the coming Messiah and the eternal inheritance it represented.
    His blood line was earmarked to bring forth the Messiah, can you imagine our Profane behavior can disqualify are Blood line to walk in the Priestly Office. How are you stewarding your childrens and grand childrens relationship with Christ, The Church and the call on there lives?
    Talk about great grand, grand and you being the only male saved.

    Pattern of Spiritual Rejection

    His marriages to Canaanite women—a religious offense to his parents—flowed from the same root: his tastes directed him without any higher spiritual principle to check them, the same disposition that led him to despise his birthright.3 Esau’s profanity wasn’t isolated moral failure but a consistent orientation away from sacred things toward immediate, earthly satisfaction.
    Esau’s profanity and the root of bitterness form a cause-and-effect relationship that reveals how spiritual indifference inevitably produces destructive resentment.
    Esau was free to live as he chose, but when he realized what he had lost—his father’s blessing—he became deeply embittered.
    His profanity didn’t create bitterness immediately; rather, while he subjected his parents to situations that were bitter for them, he became embittered when the things he had brought on himself came full circle. The root of bitterness sprouted from his own profane choices.
    Critically, Esau’s bitter tears were not tears of repentance for sin but of sorrow about consequences, and he was unwilling to call his sin what it is and turn from it with a deep desire to work at living a holy life.
    This distinction matters: his bitterness wasn’t genuine remorse but rather resentment at facing the natural results of despising sacred things. To be profane in this instance was to despise holy things, to regard them of no value, so as to prefer to them the gratification of the flesh.2
    The danger escalates through contamination. An embittered, unrepentant Esau becomes a poisonous root of bitterness that results in corrupting many, because a bitter root spreads its bitterness, affecting the perceptions of others, destroying relationships, sowing disharmony, and creating rancor.
    A teacher of evil doctrine or evil practice is sure to have followers, and if watchfulness is not exercised, the evil spreads—evil in any assembly affects the whole gathering.
    Questions: Need Mic’s

    1. Spiritual Indifference vs. Real Faith

    Esau treated his birthright—his spiritual inheritance—as cheap and expendable when his appetite screamed loud enough.
    Where in your life are you quietly treating something God calls holy (your body, your calling, your boundaries, your time with God) as “ordinary” or negotiable when your desires or emotions get loud?
    What does that reveal about what you really believe is most valuable?

    2. Unguarded Heart and Unfenced Ground

    Esau’s inner life was like unfenced ground—no boundaries, no guardrails, no “temple” space where God’s voice ruled over his impulses.
    If your inner life was a piece of land, would it look more like a guarded sanctuary or an open field where anything can walk through?
    What desires, habits, or influences are “walking all over” your heart because you have not set any spiritual boundaries?

    3. Tears, Consequences, and True Repentance

    Esau wept bitterly over what he lost, but his tears were over the consequences, not over his contempt for God’s gift.
    When you are hurt by the results of your choices, are you more upset that you’re suffering or that you offended God and despised what He offered you?
    How can you tell the difference in your own life between “I’m sad this hurts” and “I’m broken over how I treated God and His ways”?

    4. Bitterness That Spreads Like Poison

    Esau’s unresolved bitterness became a “root” that could contaminate others—bitterness never stays private.
    Where might bitterness, resentment, or disappointment with God, church, or people be quietly shaping your attitude, your friendships, or your view of spiritual things?
    If someone only knew God by watching how you talk, react, and relate to others, what kind of “spiritual atmosphere” would your bitterness or your healing create for them?
