Leviticus 20:22-24 “You must keep all my decrees and regulations by putting them into practice; otherwise the land to which I am bringing you as our new home will vomit you out. Do not live according to the customs of the people I am driving out before you. It is because they do these shameful things that I detest them. But I have promised you, ‘You will possess their land because I will give it to you as your possession – a land flowing with milk and honey.’ I am the Lord your God, who has set you apart from all other people.
Do you not believe those words apply to you? Do you think that just because these were directions – commands – given to the Israelites that they are not current? I would have you apply these rules to your lives also. I have chosen you. You are My Children. Yet, you live like those who do not believe in Me, who do not belong to Me, who are not adopted into My family. So, as I told the Israelites, if you choose to walk away from My dictates, from My Word, from My commands, then I will allow you to do so. And in so doing, you walk out from under the protection I offer. You walk away from the gifts I have to give. You walk away from the land that I have gifted you. For, as your forefathers and the founders of your once great Nation knew, all that you have was a gift from Me. You say, “But Lord, we are obedient. We are loyal to You. Why do you allow all of this evil to flourish in our Nation?” Do you not see? The evil that pervades your culture, your land – this darkness that flourishes in your once great Nation – all of this was allowed to happen, to grow, to take root and take control. It is yours to banish, just as it was yours to stop from taking root. You have allowed it. You have looked the other way as many facets crept into your homes, into your schools, into your government, in to your “entertainment”, into every aspect of your every day lives. And so, since you allowed it to take root, it is up to you to uproot it and clean it out. I will help you. You have seen that in so many ways over the years of your life. But I will not do it for you. You have the power to defeat this enemy – in all of its manifestations. Take that power and use it.
