Idols in their heart

 

 

In Ezekiel 14:1-8 we have believers (priests) with their hearts full of idols came to Ezekiel the prophet to talk about Yahuah.

It is useless to approach Yah with prayers and inquiries for guidance, as long as our hearts are filled with secret sins and cherished idols. If we regard iniquity in our hearts Yah cannot hear us.

We cannot have idols in our heart (spiritual or earthly material) plus sin in our life and think Yahuah will answer our pray. We turned away from His ways, therefore we cannot expect to be heard if we are walking on the wrong path.

Yah says, “Repent, and turn back from your idols, and turn back your faces from all your abominations.

Anyone that does not repent of these idols and abominations shall feel the wrath of Yahuah.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Below are the verses from 1 to 8.

1 And some of the elders of Yisra’el came to me and sat before me.

2-3 And the word of Yahuah came to me, saying, “Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts, and have put the stumbling-block of their crookedness before their face. Should I let them inquire of Me at all?

4-5 “Therefore speak to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus said the Master Yahuah, “Everyone of the house of Yisra’el who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts the stumbling-block of his crookedness before his face, and shall come to the prophet – I Yahuah shall answer him who comes, according to his many idols, in order to lay hold of the house of Yisra’el by their heart, for they have become estranged from Me by their idols, all of them.” ’

6 “Therefore say to the house of Yisra’el, ‘Thus said the Master Yahuah, “Repent, and turn back from your idols, and turn back your faces from all your abominations.

 

 

 

 

 

7 “For anyone of the house of Yisra’el, or of the strangers who sojourn in Yisra’el, who separates himself from Me and sets up his idols in his heart and puts the stumbling-block of his crookedness before his face, and shall come to a prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I Yahuah shall answer him Myself.

8 “And I shall set My face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb, and I shall cut him off from the midst of My people. And you shall know that I am Yahuah.

Remove all idols out of your heart so Yah can place His ways in your heart.
