Like Daniel and his companions, we need to be victorious over the seduction of idol worship, realising that whatever is not the true God in our regenerated spirit is an idol replacing God; when we’re in the fire of suffering and persecution, the Lord is with us to make the fire a pleasant place to […]
See the Principle of Idolatry and Flee from Idolatry to Enjoying Christ in Spirit
If we want to fully possess Christ as the good land, we need to flee from idolatry; we need to see what is the principle of the golden-calf idol and refuse to have anything in our heart that we love more than the Lord, and we need to have the enjoyment of the Lord […]
