“But I Have No Idols!”

Posted in Overcoming, tagged , , on October 7, 2011| 1 Comment »

Scripture reading: Ezekiel 8:7-10

You may ask: What is it that he is talking about in Ezekiel 8:7-10? He is talking about your idols! You say, “But, I have no idols!” May God Almighty help us! May God Almighty help us! What is it that is keeping you away from absolute surrender to Christ Jesus in all things? What is it? Where is your idol?

I can see idols all around. Just lift up your eyes in the Spirit and you will see the idols. Oh, praise be to God! I go out on the street and it is very simple to see the idols out there. The people put on clothes and dress like their idols. You can easily pick them out. But the church people have a time to cover up, especially when they come into service, and you do not see their idols very easily. However, if you look in the Spirit, you can see the idols. What is it that is keeping you from walking perfectly in the Spirit of God so that you have a satisfaction in your spirit that, “I have done the will of my Father!” What is it? That is your idol! Do you hear me?

He is telling you here to dig in the hole in “your” wall (because you are the “son of man” here; this passage of Scripture is speaking of you and so it is YOUR wall). Dig a little deeper and you will see your idols; you will know that some of these idols are so secretly placed that we never know them. Sometimes it takes somebody to come and smite you before you will find out the terrible thoughts that can come in your mind. Yes! Suicide! Murder! You would not believe that you have those in you, would you? But let somebody kill your child, let somebody do something to your child, let somebody walk over you in the way that destroys your life, and you will find all these wicked demons coming up in your soul. Yet, you did not know that they were there before.

God is speaking to these idols. The prophet said he saw, but he had to dig in the wall and find a secret door. Amen! God will always open a hole for you to start your digging. He is opening it even now.

“We cannot go where we must go if we do not take care of this thing, saith the Lord!”

(Excerpt from The Omega Message, July 2000, pg. 34-35)

Thought for today: Dig in the hole in your wall so that you can find the idols of your life and overcome them by the power of God.

War in the Heavenlies

Scripture reading: Matthew 16:13-19

There is something I want to show to you, which I trust will give you a new perspective in the Spirit.  The church is at war against the principalities and powers of darkness, so when the enemy touches one, he touches all.  This stirs the hearts of the people of God unto prayer and fasting.  The Lord has been revealing to us that we should not anymore wait for the enemy to attack us, but that we should attack him, and through the Blood of Jesus Christ bind the principalities and powers and rulers of darkness of this world, in every one of our areas where we live and work.  This attack should be continuous as an offensive action.  Every time we pray, we should bind the ruling spirits in our area, so that they should take their hands off the lives of the people, in their homes, in their families, in their churches.  The Scriptures say in Matthew 16:18 that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church.  This means that the church should attack hell and break down its gates and set the captives free. 

Isaiah 49:24, “Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?  But thus saith the Lord, even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.” 

The battle is the Lord’s. 

When a brother and a sister we know were hospitalized after a terrible accident, there was a night and day prayer going up to God on their behalf.  There was a continuous 24 hour a day prayer, as brethren all over the world joined us.  They were constantly on our mind.  We began to tell the brethren to pray differently from the way they were used to; that they should COMMAND the deliverance through the anointing of the Spirit, because healing is the “children’s bread”  (Matthew 15:26).  Speak the word!  The centurion asked of Jesus that if He would just “speak the word,” he knew that his servant would be healed (Matthew 8:8).  The power of the spoken word accomplishes much.  Many times, we are begging and pleading with God for that which He has already given. 

I remember the time when Jesus asked me, “What do you want?  Whatever you desire, ask and it shall be given.”  I said, “Lord, I want to see someone healed.”  He gave me the gift of healing.  I ran through the door out into the street searching for a sick person.  I found a sick woman, spoke the word, and she got up out of her sick bed, healed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

People of God, stop crying and doubting.  Begin to move in the Spirit and power of God.  When you start doing this, you will find out how willing the Spirit of God is to work through you.  He only needs clean, submitted vessels.  You will never know whether you have a gift or not until you begin to be exercised in it.

(Excerpt from The Omega Message, April 1997, pg. 4-6)

Thought for today: Will you take up the challenge and command the deliverance to your life and the lives of God’s people?  You will be surprised how willing the Spirit of God is to work through you.
