PSALM 96 O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
8 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
13 Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

Idolatry comes in many forms and is associated with many different lifestyles. Idol worship is conjured up by having the love of or trust in people/things/deity’s, etc. Having these gods are usually taught to us at young ages directly or indirectly, either way this is a learned behavior. The Most High Power whom we call God is very clear in His law given to the children of Israel through His servant Moses in Exodus 20:1-7. We are clearly in this world but we are not supposed to be of it…hasatan is given rule over this world for a time (season) and he uses every trick he can to accuse us of unrighteousness before our Father.
What is your weakness? Whatever you desire most just might be your god/idol, power/respect, money/career, love, your children/spouse, etc. Others idolize famous people, vehicles, sex, drugs/alcohol, etc.
Let’s keep it real, the enemy can also give blessings (increase) and this is why we are warned not to covet, many even turn to witchcraft to have what The Creator isn’t ready for them to have yet. Ignorance to satan’s devices or the fear of lack and poverty can also become our downfalls, this is when we have to put ALL out faith in what The Most High can and will do for us if we are obedient to His way, His will and His word! Family tare down your alters and let the Power/God of Heaven be your one and only true love so He may take heed to your prayers again. In the book of Jasher chapter’s 8-13 in the story of Abraham it shows that he chose the will of the Father for his life. Chase Him down, seek Him, believe on Him, honor Him for all He has done from the beginning, what He is doing right now and what He will do in your future. The great I AM has a plan for his children to live and to prosper because He doesn’t want any of us to perish…IN THE END WE WIN!
Leviticus 19:4 (KJV) Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to
yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God.
Psalm 16:4 (KJV)
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another
god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names
into my lips.
Colossians 3:5 (KJV)
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;
fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and
covetousness, which is idolatry:
1 John 5:21 (KJV)
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
Ezekiel 8 (KJV)
8 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month,
in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah
sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me.
2 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire:
from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even
upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.
3 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock
of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and
brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate
that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy,
which provoketh to jealousy.
4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there,
according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now
the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north,
and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the
entry.
6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what
they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here,
that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou
shalt see greater abominations.
7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I
looked, behold a hole in the wall.
8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and
when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked
abominations that they do here.
10 So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping
things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel,
pourtrayed upon the wall round about.
11 And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of
the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of
Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense
went up.
12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the
ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of
his imagery? for they say, the Lord seeth us not;
the Lord hath forsaken the earth.
13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt
see greater abominations that they do.
14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of
the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women
weeping for Tammuz.
15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man?
turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
16 And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord’s
house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the
porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward
the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they
worshipped the sun toward the east.
17 Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man?
Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations
which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have
returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not
spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud
voice, yet will I not hear them.
Psalm 135:15-18 (KJV)
15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of
men’s hands.
16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but
they see not;
17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any
breath in their mouths.
18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one
that trusteth in them.
Revelation 9:20 (KJV)
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these
plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not
worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of
wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Isaiah 44:9-20 (KJV)
9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and
their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses;
they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is
profitable for nothing?
11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen,
they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they
shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.
12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and
fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea,
he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out
with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass,
and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that
it may remain in the house.
14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the
oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he
planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take
thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he
maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down
thereto.
16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he
eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and
saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven
image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and
saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their
eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there
knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea,
also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten
it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to
the stock of a tree?
20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him
aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right
hand?
Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV)
19 Now the works of the flesh
are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
lasciviousness,
21 Envyings, murders,
drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I
have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not
inherit the kingdom of God.
