Deuteronomy 20:17-18 “..but you shall devote them to complete destruction, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, as the Lord your God has commanded, that they may not teach you to do according to all their abominable practices that they have done for their gods, and so you sin against the Lord your God.”
It may seem cruel when I command my people to destroy the other nations when they defeat them. It may seem overly violent when I command them to destroy every living person and all their stock. But it was protection against being led astray. It was protection against them being taught and adopting practices of worship and sorcery. So it is today when I ask you to forsake everything that leads you away from me. Pay attention. It’s time to purge your life of that which distracts you. Set up a schedule and stick to it. If that schedule does not allow enough time for you to do battle with and for me, I will tell you and more purges will be necessary. As I said earlier, choose. If you do not choose the gifts I have offered, I will give them to someone else. Not a threat. Just a statement of fact. I need my word to go forth. You are one of those chosen to do so. But only if you get serious about it. Time is short. The darkness grows exponentially.
