What does TEARING DOWN THE ALTARS of Baal means...Well we have to understand altars are made to look like God's but they are not...They are erected with the same intended of WORSHIP but not the same as God...They have that FORM of Godliness but greatly like the power thereof....They have been erected by worshippers in the place that is called worship..but they are not in spirit nor in TRUTH of the Gospel...
So when you go on a mission to tear the altars of Baal you are now going out against SOME TOUGH RELIGION that have been erected that people will die, for..
Yes true PERSECUTION is yet to be faced....That which really will cause your life to be on the line...Tearing down the altars of Baal is firmly breaking up that messy religion....
Why TEAR DOWN FIRST....Many religious people do not understand the process of tearing down the ALTARS..They think it is against JESUS nature..That everything we are called to do is BUILD and SMILE....Let us see why we are tearing down...
Matt 7:24 So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them [obeying them] will be like a sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock.
Their is a process in building and we have to understand that process...Building a house takes a SOLID FOUNDATION...
Matt 7:26 And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them will be like a stupid (foolish) man who built his house upon the sand.
How many have piled religion on top of sand....what will happen if we go into a HOUSE that is built on sand clean it up and add to that already built house..WELL IT ALL WILL SINK IN THE TIME OF STORM....
Luke 6:49 But he who merely hears and does not practice doing My words is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation, against which the torrent burst, and immediately it collapsed {and} fell, and the breaking {and} ruin of that house was great.
