Long post but a warning!
In prayer this morning, I heard the Father say this about his children. This is a perverse generation. Very rebellious and whorish in their hearts.
Their hearts are no longer attached to me and have departed from me. Their eyes are seduced by what they see in this world and go wh***ng after it, the idol things. They dare to bring their idolatrous hearts in my presence and attempt to worship me. They cannot conjoin idol worship and my presence, I will not accept it or them.
For example Solomon was a man of God, he built the Temple of God, had much wisdom and knowledge but he disobeyed the Lord in one simple thing. God told King Solomon and the Israelites not marry people of other nations or associate with them because it would cause their hearts to turn. They were never to worship other gods. God told Solomon As long as he walked in integrity, obey all God commanded and keep His laws [statutes; decrees] and rules [regulations; judgments]. His house would have long life and give him what he did not ask for, riches and honor.
But King Solomon's heart lead him astray. He had an extreme admiration for women, which was lust for them. He desired them because of their beauty, power, money and bodies. He had to have them even if they worshipped other gods .He knew he was not suppose to worship other gods.The Lord told him not to turn away from Him in his heart. But Solomon's desires got the best of him, his lust took over, his feelings or some say emotions got the best of him.
His lust became stronger than the desire to please God and obey. He forgot about the promise and warning God told him. His heart was whorish, his lust for the women in his life moved him to follow after their ways, due to the disregard to God's word. His heart was separated from God. He began to worship their gods Ashtoreth and Molech. He built a high place (altar) for his wives to worship their idol gods Chemosh and Molech near Mount Olives the very altar of God where the Israelites worshipped. This choice King Solomon made caused the Israelites to join in their worship as well. The wives worship was detestable. They placed children in fire as a sacrifice, had or**es and had blood sacrifices to their gods.
In the beginning of Solomon's reign, he had much wisdom and was favored by God but his extreme admiration for women caused him to compromise.
This is what is happening today, the people of God have lost their reverence for God, there is no fear of Him. People are compromising their faith for the lust in their hearts. Some have given their lives over and will do anything for s*x, power, fame, money, possessions, and fun; all while standing in the presence of God. It is now the normal to live carnal or in total disregard to the fact the we have made a covenant to serve the true and living God. This has caused hearts to go astray from the GOD. Hearts are prideful, vain and easily enticed to do what God has commanded us not to do.
Can you imagine what it would look like if someone began to have s*x in the church while worship was going on? This would be detestable and perverse. It would not be allowed! But this is the very thing that is happening in the hearts of some. This is why the falling away or uncovering of some has started to happen in the church. The hearts of many have waxed cold. They are turned away by their very own lust.
God has given us a path to follow with no exceptions. The path of righteousness is a narrow way, which means as you go this way many things have to be dropped or loosened from you to walk on it. I pray as you read this, you take inventory of your heart and stay in the will of God that brings protection, direction, and provision.
