Rebels and Idolaters

Today’s Feast Aug. 3, 2014-Ezekiel 20 Rebels and Idolaters clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily.  We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.  Gods Not Dead! “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.  Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.” Colossians 3:5-6 Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Ezekiel Chapter 20; “The elders of Israel are reminded of the idolatry in Egypt. (1-9) In the wilderness. (10-26) In Canaan.(27-32) God promises to pardon and restore them. (33-44) Prophecy against Jerusalem. (45-49)“ - Matthew Henry Concise.  Ezekiel warns the elders in Israel; (see Ezekiel 20:1-9) God will justly punish those who willfully go on in their sin.   Ezekiel reminds them (see Ezekiel 20:10-26) of their history of sin and idolatry in the wilderness.  How their ancestors also rejected God, His law and condoned sin (see Ezekiel 20:27-32) how do they think they will escape God’s judgment.   If they continue to practice sin and ignore the power of God’s grace (see Ezekiel 20:33-44) they will see the hateful nature of sin and God’s wrath. While Judah and Jerusalem had a large population (see Ezekiel 20:45-49) they remained small in the fruit of the spirit. Those who deny God’s Word will suffer God’s wrath; “48 All flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it; it shall not be quenched." 49 Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD! They are saying of me, 'Is he not a maker of parables?'" ” Ezekiel 19:13-14 English Standard Version (ESV).  We are to separate ourselves from the sin and idolatry of this world (see 1 John 2:15-17) while we carry the Word of God and the love of Jesus to them.  We must not be swayed by what we see; “7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart."” 1 Samuel 16:7 ESV. What does God see (see Romans 3:10-23) when he looks at the heart of an unrepentant idolater?  What will God see when he looks on the heart of the repentant person (see Romans 10:9-10) who accepts Jesus?   It is time for each of us (see   Deuteronomy 30:19) to choose sides.   Can you hear Jesus calling?  Are you ready to join God’s army?   Do you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life?  If the answer is yes to any of these questions please click the following link; http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm The Feast is intended to encourage Saints to pray and read every word in the bible!  Let me know if you have any questions or comments, by replying here on the blog or in an email to mike@admenu.com.
