GOD OF ALL COMFORT

God doesn’t like to see His children suffer,and He wants you to know that. You are neither helpless, hopeless, nor comfortless. Troubles come from time to time,but that’s alright, GOD IS GOING TO FIX IT.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you shall partake of the consolation. For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us,
[2 Corinthians 1:3-10 ]
GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW, that,
“As one whom his mother comforts, So I will comfort you; And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”
{Isaiah 66:13}
Just remember His promises, to never leave nor forsake you,in Isaiah, HE SAYS:
But now, thus says the Lord , who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honored, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life. Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, And gather you from the west; I, even I, am the Lord , And besides Me there is no savior. Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?”
{Isaiah 43:1-5, 11, 13}.
So boldly declare,
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me”.
[Psalms 23:4]

“Now acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace; Thereby good will come to you. Receive, please, instruction from His mouth, And lay up His words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up; You will remove iniquity far from your tents.
[Job 22:21-23].

HIS GRACE is SUFFICIENT

No matter what you face in life,you need God’s grace to help you through.
People often say that,God will not give us more than we can handle. But it’s not scripture,what He said is:
Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it”.
{I Corinthians 10:12-13 }.

The Apostle Paul’s,testimony confirms this in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10,which says,
“And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong”.
So after that Paul boldly proclaimed :
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”.
[Philippians 4:13]

God’s grace will bring you through anything,if He don’t move the mountain, He will give you strength to climb it or walk around it,or even create a cave to walk through it.

“Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia: that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their liberality. For I bear witness that according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing, imploring us with much urgency that we would receive the gift and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. And not only as we had hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God. So we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well. But as you abound in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us— see that you abound in this grace also. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich “.
[ 2 Corinthians 8:1-7, 9 ]

LISTEN
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
{Hebrews 4:15-16}
If you haven’t accepted Jesus so that you can obtain His grace,just go to God the top of this blog,click on to the salvation page,and follow the instructions, then allow the Holy Spirit to lead and direct you for the rest of your life.

A FATHER to the father less

Even if you never met your father,or your father is dead,or he is a dead beat,or absentee father.
REMEMBER THIS :
God is a Father to the father-less, “When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up. ” – (Psalms 27:10). However,Psalms 68:5-6 says that God is also, A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, Is God in His holy habitation. God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity; But the rebelliious dwell in a dry land.
So what if your earthly father abandons you, no problem. So what if he is a deadbeat dad no problem. So what if you don’t know him or never met him, no problem.  Your true and real Father is God, He takes better care of you than your earthly caretaker ever could and if you spend a little time per day trying to know your Creator, you will realize that He is everything you could ever want out of a Father, who never leaves or forsake you.
Romans 8:14-17 says, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
Even if you know or didn’t know your earthly father he can’t top your Heavenly Father, no matter how hard he tries. Because no one can love you unconditionally like God can, no earthly father is more forgiving, faithful, kind, compassionate, and merciful than our Heavenly Father. Do you know Him?
1 Peter 1:3-7 says, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
This father’s day will be the best one of your life if you get to know God like He knows and loves you.

“Fear not, little children; For it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.” – Luke 12:32

“He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” – Romans 8:32

 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” – John 3:16

 “But when the fullness of the  time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law; To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons, and because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His son into your hearts, crying Abba Father. Wherefore, thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.” – Galatians 4:4-7

“For ye are all the sons of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” – Galatians 3:26

Are you one of His sons? If you are not, then go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, follow the instructions, and become one today. To all the fathers out there have a happy and blessed father’s day.

All glory, honor, praise and thanks go to God for using me to deliver this message. I pray that He will give all who read this message the spiritual gifts necessary to comprehend and act upon His word. I exercise my power and authority in the name of Jesus to bind every tactic of the enemy, that will try to stop, hinder, or prevent this word from reaching its intended people. I ask our Heavenly Father to loose the Holy Spirit like the day of Pentecost and the Heavenly angels to secure this word so that it reaches its intended people, according to Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19 in the Omnipotent name of Jesus, Amen.

PROVE HIM, He fulfill His promises

God wants us to PROVE HIM.
PROVE means to put to the test.
Malachi 3:10
God said regarding tithing “PROVE me now” if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Romans 12:2
…that you may PROVE what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
1 Thess 5:21
PROVE all things; hold fast that which is good.
+To PROVE God means we put the God’s Word to the test by acting upon it with love and faith. God is Faithful. He will confirm and fulfill His Word.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!
GOD SAID:
“If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all His commands…you will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.”
(Deuteronomy 28:1–3, NIV)

Blessed Wherever You Go

Do you want to experience more of God’s blessing in your life? Living in obedience and integrity is the key that unlocks the door to His abundance. When you put God first place in your life, you’ll be blessed in the city and in the country—you’ll be blessed wherever you go!

This chapter goes on to say that you will be so blessed that you will lend and not borrow. Can you see yourself in that position? Can you see yourself living in that kind of abundance?

God doesn’t want you to be living with a barely-get-by attitude. We don’t serve a barely-get-by God; our God is more than enough! He wants you to have more than enough to meet your needs and be a blessing to the people around you. Today, make room in your life for the blessing of God. Choose to live in obedience to His Word and be blessed wherever you go!

A Prayer for Today“Father, thank You for Your hand of blessing on my life. I choose today to put You first in everything I do. Help me to walk in integrity and follow Your commands so that I can honor You always. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”

A DIVINE TEXT MESSAGE

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.{Matthew 6:33}

For all those people who check their messages first thing in the morning and before you go to sleep; I wonder what your reaction would be if the text said, ‘This is Jesus, I came and you were not ready so I  left you behind to face the tribulations that is to come.” Or “Didn’t you get the memo? I did tell you that I was coming like a thief in the night. Or the one that says, ‘I have gone to prepare a place for you, and I will come again and receive you unto my self.’ Remember, I told you on several occasions that you will not escape, if you neglect my salvation. I also told you that I know my sheep, and they know my voice, so if you didn’t hear me when I called, then you are not mine.'”

How does it look to God that you are more interested in what people have to say instead of what He has to say. Instead of grabbing your phone to check your text messages why not grab your Bible and see, what message or messages God has for you. Have you replaced God with people, who can’t help you if you die now? Remember, He rewards those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6  says clearly tells us,”But without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” Is it because you don’t love God why you don’t want to hear from Him? When was the last time you read your Bible before you read a txt message or E-mail?

Shouldn’t the God who woke you up every morning be the first person you want to acknowledge, the first person you want to communicate with, and the first person you want to thank. Don’t you love or respect His power and authority? He sends us text messages everyday, through His word in the Bible, and He uses people like me to tell you that He is trying to get your attention, before it’s too late. In Revelation 3:15-16, He wants you to know that if He comes and you are left behind it’s because, “I know thy works, that thou are neither cold or hot; I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.” I could go on all day and point out all the messages God has send us, but what difference would it make, if you don’t listen, read, or obey them.

Another text is, “Behold I stand at the door, and knock; If anyone hears my voice, and open the door, I will come into him, and will sup with him and he with me…he that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” – Revelation 3:20-22 And in Hebrews 2:3, the text says, “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation…” Then further down the text reads, “While it is said, Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.” – Hebrews 3:15  Stop avoiding and neglecting God it will be detrimental to you. Don’t delay any longer, just go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page and get started. Accept His text messages and obey them.

All glory, honor, praise and thanks go to God for using me to deliver this message. I pray that He will give all who read this message the spiritual gifts necessary to comprehend and act upon His word. I exercise my power and authority in the name of Jesus to bind every tactic of the enemy, that will try to stop, hinder, or prevent this word from reaching its intended people. I ask God, the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to loose the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly angels to secure this word so that it reaches its intended people, according to Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19 in the omnipotent name of Jesus, Amen.

Some of the text messages God sends us in reference to the first paragraph:

John 14:2 – “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”

John 10:27 – “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

Matthew 7:21-23 – “Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord shall enter in to the kingdom of heaven but he who does the will of the Father in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, Have we not cast put demons in Your name, and done many works in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me you who work iniquity.'”

Revelation 3:3 – “Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.”

2 Peter 3:10 – “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”

LIVE BY EVERY WORD

God does not want us to obey some or part of His commandments but all of them. Every word of God is pure and perfect for the edifying of the body, spirit and soul. Obeying all of God’s word has great rewards, like everlasting life and on earth you will live longer, multiplication in every area of your life and you will posses the land that He promised and swore to Abraham, Jacob and Isaac.

The test you have gone through is so that you could remember the Lord your God, since it seems like the only time we remember Him. But it’s to prove that you are worthy of God’s gifts and it tells God what’s in your heart. That you have not replaced Him with no one or any thing. He humbles you to the point of suffering and lack, so you will realize the truth of Philippians 4:13. That He is a supplier of all your needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus, not the job, or family or the economy.

It is when you are humbled and suffering that you realize that you are nothing without God; and when you are disobedient, then you know punishment is on the way. Deuteronomy 8:5 says, He chastens as a man chastens his son. Then Hebrews 12:6 and Revelation 3:19 tells us that whom the Lord loves He chastens. Psalm 94:12 says, “Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law.”

So to keep God’s blessings and favor flowing, we have to keep the commandments of the Lord God; walk in His ways and fear Him (Deuteronomy 8:6). Then Romans 12:1-2 tells us to present our bodies as living sacrifices that is holy and acceptable unto Him. Matthew 6:33 tells us to always seek God first and Deut. 8:7-9 gives you a list of some of the blessings.

However, no matter how successful and prosperous you get in life don’t forget the Lord your God, and be sure to keep His commandments, judgements and statutes in the Bible, which He gives us daily (Deut 8:11).

Deuteronomy 8:2 tells us that testing normally humbles and proves who you are. Romans 8:35 tells us that nothing can separate us from the love of God.

When you decide to follow God, you must decide to continue until He returns or you die.

Have you confessed that Jesus is Lord? Do you desire to seek the Lord and obey God’s commandments? To start, you need to receive Jesus into your life. Go to the Salvation Prayer Page above, follow the instructions and read through the prayer.

All glory, honor, praise and thanks go to God for using me to deliver this message. I pray that He will give all who read this message the spiritual gifts necessary to comprehend and act upon His word. I exercise my power and authority in the name of Jesus to bind every tactic of the enemy, that will try to stop, hinder, or prevent this word from reaching its intended people. I ask the Lord to loose the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly angels to secure this word so that it reaches its intended people, according to Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19 in the omnipotent name of Jesus, Amen.

SHAKEN NOT STIRRED

With all the turmoil,and unrest going on in the world. This should be the Christians motto: ‘SHAKEN NOT STIRRED’.
“We are troubled on every side,yet not distressed;we are perplexed,but not in despair,persecuted,but not forsaken; cast down but not destroyed;always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus,that the life of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,that the excellency of the power may be of God,and not of us”{2 Corinthians 4:8-10,7}.
Therefore,my beloved brethren,be ye steadfast,unmovable,always abounding in the work of the Lord,forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord(1Corinthians 15:58).

Listen up folks, we walk by faith, not sight,and we have His goodness and mercies,which are new daily,plus His rod and staff comforts us,and His grace is sufficient for us. Wise up folks,Jesus never promised us a rose garden, along with the sunshine, He never said we would be trouble free, or problem free. So don’t get it twisted, it is not an easy road, but He promised never to leave or forsake us(Hebrews 13:5); We are not comfortless; He prayed for another comforter, which is the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-18). He told us that in the world we will have tribulation: But we must be of good cheer;  because, He has overcome the world, and in Him we will find peace (John 16:33), not the kind of peace the world gives. He does not want our hearts to be troubled, neither afraid (John 14:27).

Jesus knew we would be challenged, tried, and troubled on a daily basis, you must understand this, the devil is mad, because he is defeated, and he is doomed, so please don’t let him take you down with him. Submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you (James 4:7). Remember we are overcomers, because of what Jesus did, so lets rejoice when things are going wrong, because, we are partaking in His sufferings, His glory is being revealed, and exceeding joy is on its way( 1 Peter 4:12-19). If any man suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God on this behalf (1 Peter 4:16; Romans 1:16). As Christians we better know who we are, and whose we are. We better know that greater is He who is in us than, all the demons in the world( 1 John 4:4). It’s time to stop playing righteous, and be righteous.

Do you realize that Christians, will be the first to be judged. So where do you stand? Are you shaky and moveable, or solid as a rock when it comes to God, He does not like  lukewarm people (Revelation 3:15-16). Now think about this, If the righteous are scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear (1 Peter 4:18). How will you escape if you neglect so great salvation(Hebrews 2:3). Listen I am  not begging you it’s your choice, if you don’t know God or His only begotten son Jesus Christ go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions, it will be the best decision you ever make. I give God the glory, praise, honor, and thanks for using me to deliver His message to you, I hope it was a blessing to you as it was to me, and it will lead you to follow His plans, His path, and His purpose for your life.

GOD IS OUR SOURCE

As Children of God in Christ Jesus we lack NOTHING!
Philippians 4:19
But my God shall supply ALL YOUR NEED according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED US WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ:
2Peter 1:3
According as his divine power has given unto us ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him who has called us to glory and virtue:
+Rest ASSURED and rest SECURED in ALL the promises of God. He is our FAITHFUL PROVIDER.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

GOD BY HIMSELF

NO ONE SO HOLY,NO ONE SO FAITHFUL, there is no one,like God.
With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd. You will save the humble people; But Your eyes are on the haughty, that You may bring them down. “For You are my lamp, O Lord ; The Lord shall enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. “For who is God, except the Lord ? And who is a rock, except our God? God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places. He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. “You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your gentleness has made me great. You enlarged my path under me; So my feet did not slip.{2 Samuel 22:32-37}.

Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord , Or as His counselor has taught Him? With whom did He take counsel, and who instructed Him, And taught Him in the path of justice? Who taught Him knowledge, And showed Him the way of understanding? “To whom then will you liken Me, Or to  whom shall I be equal?” says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, And see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, By the greatness of His might And the strength of His power; Not one is missing. Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord , The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those  who  have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
[Isaiah 40:13-14, 25-26, 28-31]

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.(I Timothy 1:17)

WHO ARE YOU HANGING WITH

There are phrases that warns you about the people you keep company with, like :
“Birds of a feather flock together”.
” show me your companions, and I will show you who you are”.

However,the Bible puts it this way :
Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”[Corinthians 15:33]

Then Psalms 1:1 says,
“Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord , And in His law he meditates day and night”.

1 Corinthians 5:9-13
” I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner— not even to eat with such a person. For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.{I Corinthians 6:9-11}.

Who are your friends,and companions ? Are they Godly or ungodly ? Do they like to do evil or good? Do they like to party or go to church? You can’t walk with God and hang out with the devil.

Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the Lord your God. Or else, if indeed you do go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations—these that remain among you—and make marriages with them, and go in to them and they to you, know for certain that the Lord your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the Lord your God has given you. “Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed. Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all the good things have come upon you which the Lord your God promised you, so the Lord will bring upon you all harmful things, until He has destroyed you from this good land which the Lord your God has given you. When you have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed down to them, then the anger of the Lord will burn against you, and you shall perish quickly from the good land which He has given you.”
{Joshua 23:11-16}
