Word of God Does not Change!
"Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things..." 2 Timothy 4:2-5
"...our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance..." 1 Thessalonians 1:5
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17
"This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your word has given me life." Psalm 119:50
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." John 1:1-5
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:14
"...the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed...." John 3:19-20
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Psalm 119:105
“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience. " Luke 8:11-15
The Cleansing and Triumph of His Word
"Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither..." Psalm 1:1-3
"How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.
With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You." Psalm 119:9-11
"...Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish." Ephesians 5:25-27
"They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth." John 17:16
"You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you." John 15:3
The Holy Spirit reveals the meaning of the Word to His people
"I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
"However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
"But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.... Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. ... But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Corinthians 2:1-14
"...Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him. And He said to them, 'What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad?'
"...they drew near to the village where they were going, and He indicated that He would have gone farther. But they constrained Him, saying, 'Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.' And He went in to stay with them.
"Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight." Luke 24:15-17, 28-31
"He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures." Luke 24:45
"And the disciples came and said to Him, 'Why do You speak to them in parables?' He answered and said to them, 'Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. ... Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
"‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive; for the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, so that I should heal them.’
“But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it." Matthew 13:10-17
"And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, a until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." 2 Peter 1:19-21
"I now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.'" Acts 26:17-18
God's Word is eternal"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever." Isaiah 40:8
"...having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever...." 1 Peter 1:23
"For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle [a tiny mark in the original spelling of a word] will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." Matthew 5:18
"And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail." Luke 16:17
Do not alter God's Word "You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you." Deuteronomy 4:2
"...if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ." Galatians 1:9-10
"For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you may well put up with it!" 2 Corinthians 11:4 [I.e. don't tolerate heresy]
"Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it." Deuteronomy 12:32
"Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar." Proverbs 30:5-6
"If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." Revelation 22:18-19
Preach the whole truth - whether or not they listen
"I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God. Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. " Acts 20:28
"He said to me: 'Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that a prophet has been among them." Ezekiel 2:3-5
"You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse..." Ezekiel 2:7
"Then He said to me: 'Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them. For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, but to the house of Israel, not to many people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language.... But the house of Israel will not listen to you, because they will not listen to Me.... Moreover He said to me: 'Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears. And go... and speak to them and tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ whether they hear, or whether they refuse." Ezekiel 3:7-11
"Therefore prepare yourself and arise, and speak to them all that I command you.
Do not be dismayed before their faces, lest I dismay you before them....
They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you.
For I am with you,' says the Lord, 'to deliver you.'" Jeremiah 1:17-19
"‘Hear this now, O foolish people, without understanding, who have eyes and see not, and who have ears and hear not: Do you not fear Me?’ says the Lord. ‘Will you not tremble at My presence?'" Jeremiah 5:21-22
"...in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive; for the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed...." Matthew 13:14-15
Lead new believers from the "Milk" of the Word to the "Meat"
"...as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious." 1 Peter 2:2
"I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?" 1 Corinthians 3:1-2
"For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." Hebrews 5:12-14
Obey the whole truth"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go" Joshua 1:8-9
"Thy word have I hid in mine heart that I might not sin against thee." Psalm 119:11
“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words...." John 14:23-24
"Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. " James 1:21
"Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrew 4:11-12
Don't confuse man's teaching with God's Word"These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'" Matthew 15:8-9
"Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men." Mark 7:6-8
"I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.... For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ." Galatians 1:6-8,10
"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness." 2 Timothy 2:15
Explain specific Scriptures in light of the whole Bible
See The GOSPEL - Planned and Promised from the beginning of time
"Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. Therefore many of them believed." Acts 17:10-12
"Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols. Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentile worshipers, and in the marketplace daily with those who happened to be there. " Acts 17:16-17
Don't peddle or misuse God's Word"...we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God." 2 Corinthians 4:2
"....we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ." 2 Corinthians 2:17
Delight in God's Word"I rise before the dawning of the morning, and cry for help; I hope in Your word.
My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I may meditate on Your word." Psalm 119:147
"I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies as much as in all riches.
I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways.
I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word." Psalm 119:14-16
"...they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers." Acts 2:42
"Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers." Ephesians 4:29
The offense of the gospel"Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perversity, and rely on them, therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, a bulge in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant." Isaiah 30:12-13
"Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord,
“Who take counsel, but not of Me,
And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin;
Who walk to go down to Egypt, [representing the pagan world system]
And have not asked My advice,
To strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!" Isaiah 30:1-2
"O Lord, You induced me, and I was persuaded;
You are stronger than I, and have prevailed.
I am in derision daily; everyone mocks me.
For when I spoke, I cried out; I shouted, 'Violence and plunder!'
Because the word of the Lord was made to me a reproach and a derision daily.
Then I said, 'I will not make mention of Him, nor speak anymore in His name.'
But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding it back, and I could not." Jeremiah 20:7-9
"Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Therefore the anger of the Lord is aroused against His people;
He has stretched out His hand against them and stricken them." Isaiah 5:24-25
"But He turned and said to Peter, 'Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.'" Matthew 16:23
"Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, 'The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,' and 'A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.'
"They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy." 1 Peter 2:7-10

Matt. 10:11-14
Matt. 10:11-14, is an amazing passage in the bible. Anybody who preaches the gospel or share the Gospel has indeed a special privileges by Christ …Jesus Christ has sent his disciples to preach the Gospel wherever they will be lead too, in town or in the village and they should look for worthy person where they can stay until they leave. This make us special, we the disciple of Christ, because we are given a special privilege to bless the worthy and deserving person. The one, who accepted the word of truth by letting your peace rest on it, let the peace return to you. But this one is ridiculous, the authority is, for those who have not receive you and does not believe in the words we can leave behind judgment to that person, home or town by , “shaking the dust off our feet when we leave the home or town”, isn’t it a very special favor from the Lord? Great authority isn’t it?
So, there is desperately a need of the Ministry of Involvement among us...how beautiful are the feet for those who walk and proclaim the gospel of God.

How Great is our God!
Where can I hide from you Oh Lord! Since I was in the womb you have carefully planned how I should be made…Oh! My God you have been my refuge and my deliver. You have planned everything for me.
Before you created me you have chosen me to be blameless and righteous. Where can I go that you don’t know? You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. You know when I sit
and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You have touched me

you my Majesty, my Lord of Host…you have
searched me and know me in darkness you are my light…you knit me together
in my mother's womb. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the
secret place. When I was woven together
in the depths of the earth. How GREAT is
you my Lord! You are my alpha and my Omega nothing in this creation is hidden
from you. You know my coming in and going out.

A Call to Persevere!
Count it all joy my brethren the testing of your faith produces perseverance and those who stand firm in the Lord will receive the “Crown of Life”
God test His children to make them strong, mature never lacking wisdom. Temptation and sins does not come from God. Every perfect gift comes from God. Never doubt the goodness of the Lord and always be positive that the Lord Answers prayers never ever doubt that He does not listen to us. If anyone of you lacks wisdom ask it from the Lord.
Now in this Generation we can see Christian’s whose Faith is wavering like a wind tossed in the ocean. A surface Christians wearing a mask. Hiding their sins and show everyone that they are righteous. But when storm comes these are the people who will easily be drawn from sins and will never stand again because sins have covered them.
Be quick to listen to God’s word slow to anger and those who listen does not only but is also a doer of His words.
In Jesus there is FREEDOM, there is humility, love and understanding among us.
If you listen and practice what the words says then you will be blessed, your family will be blessed and you will be a blessing to everyone bringing good tidings.
Every one who calls himself Religious and is not careful of his tongue, his religion is worthless deceiving many. A true religion whom our Father accepts is pure and faultless, to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Make a difference and Heal the World bring the Good News to everyone

Pray for the Philipiine Election !
Starting today we should not stop praying for our Country since we have few more days before election. 2 Chronicles 7:14 “ if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” “Righteousness Exalt the Nation”
We are in a state of turmoil, confusion, chaos. The Philippines was no. 2 in Economy in Asia in the ‘50’s respected and known as peace loving people but now our Country has a bad Image which is second in graft and corruption. Are we going to allow the govt. officials who will rule the country to manipulate and does their own evil interest or evil motive by squandering our money?
It’s high time for us Filipinos to open our eyes and be sensitive of what is going on around us. Let us be vigilant to safeguard the interest of the Filipinos by exposing corrupt govt. officials. Funny but its true Filipino’s make mockery on our situation by spreading jokes in the internet. We are to first respect our rights and love our country.
May 10 is a National Election day. Your vote is precious don’t waste it. Go out and Vote!
Together we pray for peace and honest election. Let us set aside Religion and let us come together to pray for the Philippines
Let me quote once again this verse:
“ 2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

Idolatry Philippine Style
Jan. 09, 2010 Devotees of the Black Nazarene close to 2 Million joined the procession today. They come from different parts of the Country.
GMA news “A man was killed and at least 16 others were hurt amid the hustle and bustle of the throng of devotees that had poured into the streets of Manila today for the annual procession of the Black Nazarene.”
Excerpt:
'There's no stopping devotees from kissing Black Nazarene' By Dennis Carcamo (philstar.com) Updated January 06, 2010 02:23 PM
MANILA, Philippines – Church officials today admitted that they could not stop devotees of the Black Nazarene from touching and kissing the religious image with the belief that they would be cured of their illnesses.
Speaking over Church-run Radio Veritas, Maasin bishop Precioso Cantillas, chairman of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP)-Episcopal Commission on Migrants and Itinerant People, said that despite their warnings, people would still want to touch or kiss the so-called miraculous image."The reason they do that (kissing/touching the Black Nazarene) is more of superstitious beliefs," Cantillas said.
Every year I feel very sad to see how Filipinos celebrate the black Nazarene Feast.
They see the statue as a miracle working God. In the past many were healed and believed that this black Nazarene has healed the sickness of thousands of people. Many believed that this mere stone has a healing power. What does the bible tell us about this?
My dear Filipinos I love you so much and it is the desire of our Lord Jesus that no one will perish. But if we are blinded by our traditions and religious belief it is high time for us to see what pleases the Lord. Let me give you some verses to start with…Isaiah. 44:9-17
Isaiah 44:9 “ 9 All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame.
This are not my words it is the word of truth God made mention that they are ignorant of their own shame.
Isaiah 44:10-13 “ Who shapes a god and casts an idol, which can profit him nothing? 11 He and his kind will be put to shame; craftsmen are nothing but men. Let them all come together and take their stand; they will be brought down to terror and infamy. 12 The blacksmith takes a tool and works with it in the coals; he shapes an idol with hammers, he forges it with the might of his arm. He gets hungry and loses his strength; he drinks no water and grows faint. 13 The carpenter measures with a line and makes an outline with a marker; he roughs it out with chisels and marks it with compasses. He shapes it in the form of man, of man in all his glory, that it may dwell in a shrine.
14 He cut down cedars, or perhaps took a cypress or oak. He let it grow among the trees of the forest, or planted a pine, and the rain made it grow.15 It is man's fuel for burning; some of it he takes and warms himself, he kindles a fire and bakes bread. But he also fashions a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it.
Don’t you see that the Lord is a Jealous God. He only wants you to worship Him in spirit and in truth. What happen if we don’t understand the bible? What will happen if we are innocent of the word of God. I am speaking to the Filipino people you should know that the Images or what you call the Black Nazarene is just mere Statue and there is no power in it. Isaiah 44:9 “ 9 All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame. You are blind, ignorant, you claim that you are healed by mere touching of the Statue. It is the Statue you are worshiping and not Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 44:16 “16 Half of the wood he burns in the fire; over it he prepares his meal, he roasts his meat and eats his fill. He also warms himself and says, "Ah! I am warm; I see the fire." 17 From the rest he makes a god, his idol; he bows down to it and worships. He prays to it and says, "Save me; you are my god."
You bow down to it and cry…asking the statue to deliver you from sin? Jer. 3:33 'Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.' The Lord wants us to worship Him in spirit and in truth.
The devil tried to temp Jesus Christ during His time on earth but Jesus said “Man does not live by bread alone but for every word that comes from The mouth of God.” Jesus know His scripture and the devil was not successful in tricking Jesus. The devil said I will give you everything that you see just Worship me alone.” Jesus replied, “ For it is written, Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.
The apostles Paul and John speak in II Corinthians 4:3-4, Paul writes, "But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them."
When a person experiences Babylon's ways and words and fails to check the attitudes he picks up and lives. Perhaps above all, men must deal with the inaudible but nonetheless attractive and powerful spiritual communication of Babylon's ( Great Harlot of Idolatry) invisible god and leader, the prince of the power of the air, and his hordes of equally invisible demons. It’s exactly what the devotees of the Black Nazarene is doing duplicating the Babylon’s time the Harlot of Idolatry
Revelation 18:4 “ And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.
I am urging you right now God is not pleased of what you are doing come out of her less you will not be deceived of the devil’s scheme. the deceitful influence of Satan, they disbelieved God. . They spread it to their children, who spread it to their children, and so forth, come out from her my children and worship our God alone.
This is my prayer:
I come into your throne of your grace Lord that your people will come out of the bondage of “IDOLATRY”. Open the eyes of understanding that they can see the in the spirit your will for your people. Open their spiritual eyes and give them wisdom that what they are worshipping are mere Idols and not you Jesus the Mighty one. Let them see that you are a Jealous God that you want your people to worship you in spirit and in truth.
I pray Lord FREE your people from the bondages of IDOLATRY. Let their lives be change Lord.
