PUT DOWN YOUR IDOLS AND PICK UP YOUR GOD

July 6, 2008

After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. Then they carried the ark into Dagon's temple and set it beside Dagon. When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the LORD! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the LORD! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained. 1 Samuel 5:1-4

Will you lay down your idols that you consume yourself with and pick up your God? Will you pick up the very thing that will cause your life to turn around? Believe that I watch from the heavens with disgust at the idols that you have laid down with. I say pick up your God and die to the flesh and keep yourself pure from the adultery of the heart and commit your heart to Me. Hear what I say. Was it much that I came to redeem mankind and reconcile your life back to Me? Was it a mere doing in the sight of God that I say I am not your God? Have your way. For I say this is what I am going to do. I will sit your idols before you and they shall fall before you. This is a day of decision. Shall I be your God and shall you be My people? For I blow a wind of despisement that will cause your god to fall at your feet. Will it stand before Me? Shall it speak to thee? For I say this is the God that you serve that will cause you to surrender your gods exponentially that I will stand before thee and cry out to thee to come and surrender your heart to Me. Hear what I say. I command the truth to set you free for you shall serve no other god before Me. This is the day of recognizing who I am in your life. Shall it be dull or shall it be filled with Me? It is up to you to lay down your false gods and speak to the true and living God of eternity. Know that I speak of this in a fashionable way for I have given the gift of life in an unspeakable way. Shall it return to Me I say? Shall it breathe back to Me? Shall it find you not in eternity? For it comes with a sword today. Pick up your God and go your way.

Bless is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. Let he who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says....
