****This is the anti-typical Day of Atonement, and our High Priest is in the Most Holy of the Heavenly sanctuary performing the Investigative judgment. We need to seriously rid ourselves of any idol, by truly afflicting our souls via self-reflection, and self-examination. Idols may be anything that is not of God, animate, or inanimate, and they may be anything that take up our time and prevents us from spending time with God. ****Sorcery, we may deny, but this definition should open our eyes. Pastor Ivor Myers, says that sorcery is “anything that medicates the mind, so that it cannot, or will not follow the Law or the Will of God.” As Christians, we are to follow Christ in all things. My flesh is sinful, and I recognize now, that my affinity for competitive sports, emulation, for all these years, is of the devil. The thirty three years, and a half, that Christ spent here on this earth, were spent in doing the will of his Father. The last three and a half years, He spent, healing the sick, ministering, and teaching, the Way of Salvation. Do we read of Christ ever having a pick-up game of beach volleyball, football, soccer, or basketball, with His disciples? Why not? Simply, because, He was the sinless Son of God. In these sports games, there is faking, lying, pretending, and overall deception, which is of satan. **** Galatians 5:19-21., states, “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” Revelations 22:15., we find these words, “For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” **** I plan to be within the City of God, how about you? We must pray for forgiveness of all sin, and everything that is contrary to God. We must confess these evils and repent, and most of all forsake these ills, through the power of Jesus Christ. We must pray for the power of the Holy Spirit, to cleanse us and cause us to view these things as detrimental poisons to our soul salvation. We must pray that our sins be Blotted out by Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Place of the Heavenly Sanctuary above. Let us Pray to this end, that we might at last, be saved in Gods Kingdom. AMEN!
