Being a prophet is dangerous when you
are being a distracting one...One that will attempt to change the
orders of another Prophet ( messenger)... What I noticed that
Jezebel even had prophets...Just because you are called one whom are
you serving is the question....As a Prophet ( messenger) we are
not focused on attacking the messenger, we cry out against the
Altars and the false worship..May this set you free and bring you
closer into true relationship with God as a messenger....
1 Kin 13:1 AND BEHOLD, there
came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord to Bethel.
Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
1 Kin 13:2 The man cried
against the altar by the word of the Lord, O altar, altar, thus says
the Lord: Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah
by name; and on you shall he offer the priests of the high places
who burn incense on you, and men's bones shall be burned on
you.
So much is going on in the church of this day. The
mission of the Apostles are to tear down the altars that have been
erected by opinions, worshipping in error and those of idols...God
is sending the strong to stand against the strong....Yes servants of
God we have a battle to fight against that which is evil but what
about those that are suppose to be a part of you?....
Here we see a Prophet (messenger) was sent to
warn Jeroboam of the wrath of God revealed from heaven against his
ungodliness and unrighteousness! This messenger
CRIED out against all the altars and the wicked worship....He was
not silent but bold....We see this Messenger was courageous and
trusted very much in the Lord and the message he was to
deliver.....He was not a coward....
Why did God have the messenger cry out against the
altars?...If you can remember your prayers are only as strong as
your altars...The altars are a major part of any
religion. God threatened the founder and worshippers, to whom
it was as dear as their own souls, and who might conclude, "If God's
wrath fasten upon the lifeless guiltless altar, how shall we
escape?" That which was foretold concerning the altar..... Many
altars are being built even today..that which you base your purpose
and your worship upon...Many are doing things in the name of Jesus
upon a wicked altar....They claim to be sent by God but yet come
against God and His messengers....
1 Kin 13:4 When King Jeroboam
heard the words the man of God cried against the altar in Bethel, he
thrust out his hand, saying, Lay hold on him! And his hand which he
put forth against him dried up, so that he could not draw it to him
again.
1 Kin 13:5 The altar also was
split and the ashes poured out from the altar according to the sign
which the man of God had given by the word of the
Lord.
God's displeasure against these idolatrous
sacrifices. How could the gift be acceptable when the altar that
should sanctify it was an abomination....Just because it is done in
the church do God have to accept it....Many have a an altar and
forge Jesus name upon it....Many are singing and dance but their
altars are an abomination unto the Lord...Are you the Messenger God
is sending? Can you be the One that God is rising to be bold and CRY
OUT AGAINST the
Altars
