ALTAR OF I Part 2

 ALTAR OF I Matthew 28:18-20 NASB [18] And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. [19] Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, [20] teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." MOWING THE YARD SEEING HELEN REESE AUDREY RIDING-WE MAKE THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN GO- JEREMIAH –LAST WEEK WE ARE SACRIFICING OUR CHILDREN ON THE ALTAR OF I Daniel 6:19-24 NASB [19] Then the king arose at dawn, at the break of day, and went in haste to the lions' den. [20] When he had come near the den to Daniel, he cried out with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you constantly serve, been able to deliver you from the lions?" [21] Then Daniel spoke to the king, "O king, live forever! [22] My God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths and they have not harmed me, inasmuch as I was found innocent before Him; and also toward you, O king, I have committed no crime." [23] Then the king was very pleased and gave orders for Daniel to be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den and no injury whatever was found on him, because he had trusted in his God. [24] The king then gave orders, and they brought those men who had maliciously accused Daniel, and they cast them, their children and their wives into the lions' den; and they had not reached the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones. DANIEL 11:35 [35] Some of those who have insight will fall, in order to refine, purge and make them pure until the end time; because it is still to come at the appointed time. Jeremiah 7:16-28,30-31 NASB [16] "As for you, do not pray for this people, and do not lift up cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with Me; for I do not hear you. [17] Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? [18] The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods in order to spite Me. [19] Do they spite Me?" declares the LORD. "Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?" [20] Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, My anger and My wrath will be poured out on this place, on man and on beast and on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground; and it will burn and not be quenched." [21] Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat flesh. [22] For I did not speak to your fathers, or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. [23] But this is what I commanded them, saying, 'Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may be well with you.' [24] Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward. [25] Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have sent you all My servants the prophets, daily rising early and sending them. [26] Yet they did not listen to Me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck; they did more evil than their fathers. [27] "You shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you; and you shall call to them, but they will not answer you. [28] You shall say to them, 'This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the LORD their God or accept correction; truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth. [30] For the sons of Judah have done that which is evil in My sight," declares the LORD, "they have set their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it. [31] They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, and it did not come into My mind. Leviticus 18:21 NASB [21] You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am the LORD. THE ONES THEY SACRIRICED ARE WITH ME, THE ONES TODAY WILL LIVE IN THE ETERNAL FIRE-Are we not doing the same thing today ? ALTAR OF I Mathew 7: [19] Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. THEY THOUGHT THAT BY OFFERING THEIR CHILDREN THEY COULD GAIN FAVOR WITH molech (THE FIRE god) WE ARE SACRFICING OUR CHILDREN ON THE ALTAR OF I- Sometimes we live our lives through our children –hunting, fishing, -we want them to be like us , have we been successful ? is that a good thing? Are they good fruit ? Money –working two jobs, kids in daycare, so we can have a bigger house, nice car, more stuff-while someone else raises our children-and TRAINS THEM MARRIAGE SPOUSE-do we deserve to be happy, we don’t like our spouse, they don’t make us happy so we find another one, in that relationship have the children been sacrificed ? GOD- have we raised our children to know GOD or the world, (because when they get old they wont depart from it) Our words will lift up or put down-we teach them with words and actions Deuteronomy 6:4-9 NASB [4] "Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the Lord is one! [5] You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. [6] These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. [7] You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. [8] You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. [9] You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. James 3:3-5 NASB [3] Now if we put the bits into the horses' mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well. [4] Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires. [5] So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! Are you a boat just sailing along, are you a large boat sailing along, are you a giant boat, unsinkable- Are you a titan-a mythical greek gods-which means GIANT- SEE MY WORDS ARE PAINTING A PICTURE, YOUR THINKING ABOUT ANOTHER BOAT-4/15-1912 (JOHN HARPER)-TRAINED BY HIS PARENTS IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO.
