March 2

Whew! That was a day huh? Some very tough things are being spoken of and we have to remember that this was said to people in this time period and this culture and that it can serve us if we don’t get bogged down in the – why…? Or the what??? I don’t mean to say that it was out of line, it was just a hard line. Glad I am living now!

There is a powerful principle that God reminded me of in today’s reading. The land becomes defiled! Not only to we become defiled by sin, but the land can become defiled. It says that the land will vomit you out – that’s strong! The lesson for me is that if I let things happen on my land (house/property/church) then the land or area is affected. This is not a new teaching to me, but is a great reminder that we can’t sin without consequences, even on the area we live. I must not allow myself or others to violate my management area by sin. What I mean is that if I allow one of my boys (which I never would) to bring his girlfriend home and have sexual relations with her (which they never would), I would be opening the door for the devil to put a curse on my home. Likewise, if I have some kind of religious “charm” in my home, I open my home and everyone in my home to demonic influence. (Charms-idols-etc… can be demonically attached – meaning that a demon can have some influence where the idol is)

I don’t want any “outside” influence in my home. In fact, as today’s reading illustrates – GET RID OF THE IMPURITY FROM AMONG YOU! Show me what I need to get rid of Lord.
