"Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you survivors of the nations! They have no knowledge who carry about their wooden idols, and keep on praying to a god that cannot save.
Is.44:18
They know not, nor do they discern, for he has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, and their hearts, so that they cannot understand.
Jer. 10:5
Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, and they cannot speak; they have to be carried, for they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good."
Is.44:17
And the rest of it he makes into a god, his idol, and falls down to it and worships it. He prays to it and says, "Deliver me, for you are my god!"
Is.45:22
"Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.
Is.45:23
By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return: 'To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance.'
Is.46:8-10
8 "Remember this and stand firm, recall it to mind, you transgressors,
9 remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,'
Do you understand? There is but one true God! He is the maker of all things! He has given me an opportunity to teach His gospel to all who will listen. He will open your eyes and heart if you seek Him and want His eternal salvation. Satan is here to distract all of us from the truth! But Satan is defeated by the cross and he knows it! Some of our teams went to a remote village to love on the people there. They were very receptive to the gospel. One man said" this place was like hell before you came with the gospel". We do not live in a remote place where the gospel is not shared but still people are blinded because they do not seek God!
Romans 1:20
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
A Christian friend recently told me that she had a dull heart and that she did not know who she was in Christ anymore. This is an attack by Satan on Christ and His church. We are the church, Christ is the head, Satan wants to destroy the church but knows he can not. So, what does he do? He puts doubt in the heart of a Christian! What does the Christian do? Pray, assemble ourselves together and go to the Word! We remember that the word is sharper than a two edged sword!!!
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
God's Word convicts us! Christ is our living priest, He died for our sin, He intercedes for us before God, He offers mercy and grace, and when we are drawing our last breath, He will comfort us with the knowledge that we have been forgiven! He has given us a new heart!
Ephesians 5:26
to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
1 Thessalonians 2:13
And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe
1 Peter 1:23
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
Lord, this is my prayer;
Ps.51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Amen
