Ezekiel Chapter 37

The Valley of Dry Bones

The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

²And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

³And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.

⁴Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

⁵Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

⁶And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

⁷So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

⁸And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

⁹Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

¹⁰So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

¹¹Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

¹²Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

¹³And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

¹⁴And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.

¹⁵The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,

¹⁶Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:

¹⁷And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

¹⁸And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?

¹⁹Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

²⁰And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.

²¹And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

²²And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.

²³Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

²⁴And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

²⁵And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

²⁶Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.

²⁷My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

²⁸And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

PSALM 96 O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.

²Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

³Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

⁴For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

⁵For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

⁶Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

⁷Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.

⁸Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

¹⁰Say 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.

¹¹Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

¹²Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

¹³Before 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.

Gratitude/Thankfulness

In everything be thankful! Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 KJV

Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thess. 5:16-18

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good;
for his mercy endureth for ever.1 Chron. 16:34

But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord. Jonah 2:9

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Luke 22:19

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. Romans 11:36

Patience is a Virtue

I have made some mistakes in life, both short and long lasting but I believe that those that counted as sins are indeed forgiven. No, I didn’t believe that overnight because it took time. There are many things in life that we have to have patience for. Matters such as relationships, children, education and even faith. Unlike less time consuming subjects these things allow us to grow successfully and responsibly. Keeping a cool head and waiting out the cons of life will benefit not only you but also the people tied to you. I look at life as a domino effect, a plant or a tree even.

If I fail at something then the people attached to me or my work will be affected also. However, if I win then we all will be victorious in that circumstance. We share our lives rather we want to or not. Patience will open the door for increase, peace, love and also happiness for most cases. I often hear about the story of Noah, building a ark for an ungrateful generation that didn’t believe in his work or his word to help save their own lives (as he being used by God). With that being said…don’t give up, don’t give in, just wait it out and see the salvation of the Lord!

Dreams and Visions

MARINE SPIRITS

Ecclesiastes 5:7 For in many dreams and in many words there is emptiness. Rather, fear God. (YHWH)

Sometimes dreams are a little more serious than what some may want to admit. Since we are spirit beings in a body we should take dreams/visions as an unseen reality. Making covenants and soul ties can be made in the invisible world as well as the visible. The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy; thus taking advantage at a time that we are less likely able to fight back! We are to pray and repent always but we should always rebuke, bind and send Yahuah’s (God) fire to ANY evil being or spirit. Dreams, spirit spouses, spirit children, soul ties, marine spirits (mermaids, bodies of water, etc.) and even demons are very real in the spirit realm especially for those that know/serve our Elohim and His Son our Ha’Massiach. Leviathan is a marine spirits as spoken at the end of the book of Job by The Most High.

Daniel 2:1 Now in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep left him.

Returning

Deuteronomy 30-Jeremiah 50-Romans 12

Obeying the word of the Most High Power (God) and His Son the Messiah (Jesus) is a necessity for believers of the entire Bible. Life can be as simple as we make it because if we keep the commandments as our Creator has said through His Prophets, He will turn our captivity. Instead of being cursed, we will be blessed in all the works of our hands if we (Israel) will love righteousness and live the way that God has commanded. It is wise to choose life over death and good over evil! The Creator considers disobedience unlawful and evil, by obeying our Father in keeping laws, statutes and commandments we can bring blessing over the lives of ourselves and our children. Many of us are attached to the land of our captivity, our oppressors and their idols. We are told in the Bible not to be of the world but to just be in it….there is a difference, we have gotten attached and have adapted to the evils of this world. Mentally removing ourselves from “Babylon” and it’s “Daughter” can save our souls. Being separate/set apart (Holy) is what we were told and taught to achieve in order to represent our Power. In accomplishing being set apart is how we will be delivered and live “forever” in Heaven, which will be on earth (as it is in Heaven). God and His Son is perfect and we are supposed to run this race seeking to be perfect also. There is nothing you do that is not known and there is nothing you can do for Him to not love you! The Father will eventually destroy Babylon (the new Egypt) and if you are attached to it you will be destroyed also. Your sins can be pardoned and you can be delivered if you receive the truth, repent and separate from iniquity and idols. Renew your mind, be sober, have faith, hate evil, love your Brothers, do good, believe, have hope and patience. Create and maintain a relationship with your Father through prayer and fasting, knowing in your heart that Christ is interceding on your behalf so that you can live your best life in peace. Outsmart your enemies by turning them over to the Most High and remember that every member of the body is important, we’re too close to the end…seek God and live.

AlleluYAH!

Grace and Mercy

Many of us believe that grace over-rules law but that is an incorrect belief system which is usually taught in Christianity. Although Paul made the statement about being under grace (Romans 6:15), please understand that he was assuming that the law was already being kept/followed! No law = No grace and it’s that simple…The Most High is not the Author of confusion and His burden is light. We are to keep His commandments and in doing so, grace and mercy will be given to you. At the end of the day let us all humble ourselves to remember that man does not override our Father in Heaven regardless of their status (God gives and He takes away). Pay attention to who is teaching you because lawless people are dangerous people.

Psalm 23 (KJV)

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Matthew 9:13 (KJV)

13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

2 Chronicles 30:9 (KJV)

9 For if ye turn again unto the Lord, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.

Ephesians 2:4-5 (KJV)

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Isaiah 30:18 (KJV)

18 And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

Hebrews 4:16 (KJV)

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Psalm 51 (KJV)

1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

Spiritual Goals

RUN THE RACE AND FIGHT THE BATTLE (IN THE SPIRIT)

Victory is the goal! “Well done my good and faithful servant” is what most of us long to hear at the end of the race. The finish line is not only set before us but there are many stumbling blocks along the way. We have to remember that this world was given to hasatan for a season and he is crafty, sneaky even. The Most High’s plan for you is to prosper and to live abundantly. If we carry the concerns of this world then we are already losing the race! Give your cares to the Heavenly Father because He cares for you and by no means does He want us worrying or depressed (not even stressed). Allow God to have the hard things that we have no to little power over, He is waiting for you to give Him permission and authority over every area of your life (which is not your own anyway). Submit, wear your armour, walk in the fruit of the spirit, repent, pray, watch and wait! You will witness the wonderful works of His hands right before your face. Be vigilant, be safe, be strong and forgive – to receive the fair favor our Father wants to give all of His children who love Him and keep His commandments (that He told us to keep FOREVER). Hebrews 12:1-3 (KJV)

1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Deuteronomy 31:6 (KJV)

6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Philippians 3:12 (KJV)

12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 4:7-9 (KJV)

7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

Matthew 24:13 (KJV)

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Ephesians 6:14-17 (KJV)

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Isaiah 54:17 (KJV)

17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

Proverbs 8:19 (KJV)

19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

Psalm 42 (KJV)

42 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.

7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

8 Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Idolatry

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,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

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.
