Streams in my desert: Come out from them and be separate - the first commandment is to love the Lord our God with all our hearts. We must separate ourselves from that which is not of God - things that you value more than God, like your opinion, your need to be right, your job, your children, your spouse. Anything that occupies the place that belongs to God is an idol. The Lord tells us plainly that He is a jealous God and instructs us not to make graven images. He has made a way for you to purge yourself of your idols through the blood of Jesus. Through the blood of Jesus, every bondage that takes our focus away from God can be broken. We must get the ungodly things out of our lives and seek to get into a right relationship with God

Come Out

"Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord.

"Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.

"I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty." - 2 Corinthians 6:17-18

Do you have idols in your tent?

Things that you value more than God, like your opinion, your need to be right, your job, your children, your spouse?

Anything that occupies the place that belongs to God is an idol.

The first commandment is to love the Lord our God with all our hearts (Matthew 22:37).

The Lord tells us plainly in Exodus 20:4-5 that He is a jealous God and instructs us not to make graven images of anything on this earth.

He has made a way for you to purge yourself of your idols through the blood of Jesus.

Through the blood, we can get in right relationship with God.

Through the blood, we can have the right mindset-the mindset of Christ Jesus.

Through the blood of Jesus, every bondage that takes our focus away from God can be broken.

We must separate ourselves from that which is not of God.

We must get the ungodly things out of our lives and seek to get into a right relationship with God.
