WOW!! In my study this morning!!!

EZEKIEL 15:7-8” When any Israelite or any alien living in Israel separates himself from me and sets up idols in his heart and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face and then goes to a prophet to inquire of me, I the Lord will answer him myself. I will set my face against that man and make him an example and a byword. I will put him off from my people then you will know that I am the Lord.”

MY THOUGHTS!!! Wow!!! The people of Judah were eagerly listening to the words of the false prophets, and reasoned to themselves if they hung around a few Godly men, and go to them only when they were in a real pinch, that God would honor their chosen lifestyles.. Does that sound familiar???? I love to pray… I love to intercede for others in prayer when asked of me to do so…. But my question would be this… When will those that are struggling start to pray themselves!!! I sometimes see people who ask for prayer keep struggling with the same thing over and over again.. Don’t you think that along with prayer you must CHANGE!!!! We have to be part of the process!!! The people of Judah would inquire of Godly men, but in their hearts there was no real repentance!! They had it set in their hearts that they really had no intention of change, and that hanging out with godly men would give them appearance of godliness!! Bottom line… Just because you wear a cowboy hat, doesn’t make you a cowboy… get the picture??? Some people have a good time feeling bad, and love for people to see their false confessions at the altar call… But in their hearts they have no real desire to get rid of the idols in their hearts( sins). Bottom line… We must understand that the relationship our pastor, family or friends have with God will not protect us from the consequences of our own sin!!! Each person is responsible for his or her own relationship with God!!! So my question is this… Is your faith personal and real, or are you resting in what others have done??? I close with this.. The above scripture I believe says this… If you don’t intend on changing when you ask and inquire prayer from someone whether from a pastor or a friend… God will not even acknowledge the prayer, and will deal with you HIMSELF!!! OUCH!!! CHANGE= TRUE REPENTANCE =GOD HEARS OUR PRAYER…. That is all
