IDOLATRY THE BOOK OF JUSTIFY IT'S What is idolatry? Todays concept of idolatry is not what idolatry is in the sight of God. Society veiws this reality to be whatever justifies it in their own sight without concern to what, or how in the sight of God He sees it. I have no interest in propheshing illusions, nor speaking what will tickle the ear and turn people away from the truth and aside to myths. Idol worship involves a broad misunderstanding of what idol worship is. To many times idolatry is justified as worship to the Lord Jesus when it is nothing more than the worship of what self justifies in order that self be comforted without examining the root of the matter that self so readily justifies, to be right. Idolatry will not appear as the evil that it is. First and formost it will appear in the form of sound doctrine (pagan beliefs) a mixture of unsound doctrine (teachings) made to sound, acceptablely sound when they are not. Isa.5:20,21 If it dosen't look to be evil, even when unsure, second guess it mentality, man is more prone to justiy a thought, before examining its source. That which is known to be evil is not all that is evil. Hosea 10:13 ; Jer.7:4,8-11 ; 1Thess.5:21 Jesus has delivered us from what? SIN. What is the root of sin? You shall be like God knowing good and evil. And in our trying to be like God, society and the church at large has become primary and or equal to God, in his book of justify its. The world and the systems of the world are what has become primary, and the church has followed suit, just use His name as the secondary means to justiy whatever it is as long as seems and appears to be justifiable. Society has so highly prized and valued human life above the life of Christ through the Spirit of life that soceity and the church at large has unknowingly place the will of God secondary. This is not popular, but in all reality I'm not interested in what's acceptable in the sight of society nor the church that is unwilling to see evil for what it is. The life, way and the will of God has in the hearts of this end time people (those who use His name) become secondary to their own life, will and way. Sin is easier to justify when in the camp of the world. The realm of the not so obvious can only be seen through the eyes of Jesus. That which the Father finished before the foundation of the world," before you were in your mothers womb," what He wants to bring to completion is and should be primary, not what we do in His name only. The whole aspect of man, (the constitution, bill of rights, democracy, religion, sports, entertainment, what's legal) places value on what is valueless in the sight of God. When we as a people place ourselves as primary or equal to what He the Lord has already finished before it began, then we've become our own god. This life is not about us, nor
what we think we can do for the Lord. He did not need our help to finish what He began, so it is not about what we are doing, but rather what He wants to complete in us. God destest what man esteems when man esteems what is seen above Him who is unseen. We are the works of His hands, not our own. Idolizing the work of our hands and then justifing it, is idolatry. We have been warned over and over by His Spirit, by the prophets, and those who have and do love the body of Christ. The bible speaks of many and few, many will find the broad way but few will enter through the small gate that leads to eternal life. Not all who say Lord, Lord will enter in but those who do the will of My Father. Many will fall away from the faith, and their love will grow cold. These are those, who by grace were saved through faith. Why? Because those who have turned the grace of God into licentiousness have been received as those who are of the faith, and the one who is behind it is none other than the ol' justifier. Be your own God and use His name, it's not a lie, you shall not die, look, the fruit is good for food. Jude 4 ; Acts 20:28,29,30, The apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians " I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be lead astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ." The enemy has become more crafty and cunning through technology, not recognized. When the sheep comes to you will you know what book he reads from, who's behind the voice, and where, is what is being said leads? If the church is not looking for Christ and the city which is to come with great expectancy, primary, then He has become secondary. What idol has come out of the book of justfy it's that is set right before your face? Ezek. 14:1-8 When we are unwilling to see what the world (society) the systems of the world, the church at large are in the grips of, then, a part of it you are. " We struggle not against flesh and blood...The weapons of our warfare are not carnal." When we resist not the schemes of the devil; fail to discern, then, we assist the schemes of the devil. Your either in the camp of Christ, or the camp of the world, and this letter denotes which camp your in. With time so short, and it is. Why does soceity and the church at large place the law of man as primary, and the law of God in Christ secondary? This is idolatry, a form of godliness, and leads to the toleration of sin as being acceptable. Mans law is demanding we, the body of Christ tolerate sin, NEVER. So tell me who's law has become primary? Please read Matt. 23 That which is but a vapor, withering grass, a fading flower should never become ahead of the eternal. The more man chips away at the deity of Jesus. The more by mans own hand he seal his own fate. Christianity wonders and follows after the beast. The body of Christ follows after the Lamb. Christianity is mans invention, religious. The
body of Christ is the creation of the Father. Christianity produces idol worship out of the book of justify its. The body of Christ is being produced by the Spirit of Life unto a mature man, without mans input. The body of Christ fits into what He's doing in us. Christianity fits Him into what they want Him to do, He is a means to draw from. Look at the two thieves on the cross, one look for salvation to fit into him, " If you be the son of God save yourself " (and me while your at it), the other thief allowed salvation to draw him in by declaring, this Man is innocent, He is here for what we've done. This thief fell on his knees while he hung on a cross. Jesus said unto him "Today you shall be with Me in paradice. " Be examined who's primary and who's secondary in your heart, and cast away the book of justify it's, and cast away all idols, come into the body that is quick and powerful, living and active, sharper than a double edge sword, cutting away the forskin of the heart. Putting on the garment of salvation, shedding the garment of religion. Religion clings to the idols in it's book of justify it's. The body of Christ clings to the purging, purifing and refineing Spirit of Life. Bond servant of Christ Don E. Anz
