JULY2019 – FREEDOM FROM IDOLS – And Their Effects

JULY2019 – FREEDOM FROM IDOLS – And Their Effects: Your Earnest Expectations In REDEMPTION!

There’s no place and room for IDOL and IDOLATORY in the services of God in the Kingdom.

An idol is ANYTHING – person’s and or materials – that takes the place of God in Christ Jesus in our causes on the face of God.

It robs one of the pure and genuine acts to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY in LIFE and GODLINESS.

As the redeemed of God, born of the precious blood of Christ Jesus; and made to be a chosen generation, a perculiar people, a royal priesthood and a holy nation; and to offer unto God the marvelous, gracious and graceful acts of worship and service unreservedly with our being – (1 Peter 2:9); it’s imperative that we do not let any man make an idol god out of us nor make an idol god out of any man for whatsoever in LIFE and GODLINESS. For our God is Holy, Just and Jealous over us in all things.

Therefore look within you – in hearts and thoughts, for God searches the hearts, mind and thoughts every man to know if genuinely by His WORD, you are free indeed from idol and idolatry.

You can be FREE today and now.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“And WHAT CONCORD HATH CHRIST WITH BELIAL? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 and what agreement hath THE TEMPLE OF GOD WITH IDOLS? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty” 1 Corinthians 6:15-20.

“WE KNOW that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. 19 And WE KNOW THAT WE ARE OF GOD, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 20 And WE KNOW that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21. Little children, KEEP YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS. Amen” 1 John 5:18-21.

“Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 19 What say I then?
