What
is an idol?
An
idol is a being, thought, imagery or a desire that exults itself above the
authority and power of God Almighty, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, God of
Israel, the Hebrews, the Jews. It usurps its rule over ignorant humanity
through craftiness, schemes, and works of darkness, lies and deceit. It acts as
a snare to spiritual progress in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. An idol
poses to offer solutions to mankind at a cost of life long slavery, a life
without the true love of the Father. Satan is a master plan of slavery,
control, trickery, manipulation, false hope and eventual destruction. He comes
to steal, kill and destroy. Perverted worship has held many captives and denies
God the glory due His Holy name. Most people who cling to pagan gods hide in
the crowd, unawares that at the appointed time the Holy Spirit will expose them
and convict them of righteousness, sin and judgment.
Such
names as earth goddess, queen of the sea, pagan gods, and others have been
revealed and exposed to me by the Holy Spirit through prayers as referring to
idols. Even close relations may harbor mentalities, emotions, and desires of
earth goddess and demand to be idolized against and above God Almighty. Anyone
in our cycles of life who posses to deny God glory by seeking to draw our
attention away from God for his/her selfish ends is an idol.
“Now Joseph was handsome in
form and appearance. And it came to pass after these things that his master’s
wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, “Lie with me.”But he refused
and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me
in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand. There is no one
greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you,
because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin
against God?” So it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not
heed her, to lie with her or to be with her.
But it happened about this
time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of
the house was inside, that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with
me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside. And so it
was, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside,
that she called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, “See, he has
brought in to us a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I
cried out with a loud voice. And it happened, when he heard that I lifted my
voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went
outside.”
So she kept his garment with
her until his master came home. Then she spoke to him with words like these,
saying, “The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us came in to me to mock me; so
it happened, as I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with
me and fled outside.” So it was, when his master heard the words which his wife
spoke to him, saying, “Your servant did to me after this manner,” that his
anger was aroused. Then Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, a
place where the king’s prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison.
But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the
sight of the keeper of the prison.” Genesis
39:6b-21.
And
such could be issuing threats to us as if our lives and destiny depend on
him/her. Jesus Christ said to Pontius Pilate “You could have no power at all
against Me unless it had been given you from above” (John 19: 11). The burning
of incense to strange gods comes in place when we seek to appease demands of personalities
outside God’s authority in fear of losing our comfort and security. When such a scenario occurs, fight the good
fight of faith, denounce all ungodliness, break all soul ties, and cancel all
promises and covenants made with earth goddess. Defy pagan gods, dethrone them
and cast their crowns to dust. Say “Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God deliver
me from any idol worship. Deliver my spirit, soul and body from any link with
earth goddess. I renounce every idol in my heart. Whatever is denying you glory,
remove it Lord from my heart. Oh Lord, search my heart, thoughts and desires,
see if there be anything wicked and set me free from all form of idol worship.
I desire to worship you Oh Lord God Almighty with all my heart, soul, mind and
strength. I surrender all my life to you. I rededicate all my life to you Lord.
I detach myself from all strange gods. My heart beats after you Lord! In you I
am secure, safe, nourished, prospered and at peace. Amen.”
I
prophesy to you my reader, as you have recommitted your life to Jesus Christ to
serve him all the days of your life, no one shall be able to stand before you. “No
man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with
Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.” Joshua 1:5
