Worship

by Tricia Pollok

YHVH didn't name all the false gods of man that He knew would be worshiped today. The adversary leads us to believe that if you aren't literally calling on the name of Molech or Baal, you aren't worshiping false gods. It's not the literal name we speak or the bowing down to a physical image that determines whether or not we are worshiping a mighty one other than YHVH. An image and a name are not necessarily physical! If we are worshiping our God in the way the nations worship their gods, even if we physically "call" upon His Name, we actually aren't worshiping Him.

“When יהוה your Elohim does cut off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land, guard yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire about their mighty ones, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their mighty ones? And let me do so too.’ “Do not do so to יהוה your Elohim, for every abomination which יהוה hates they have done to their mighty ones, for they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their mighty ones. “All the words I am commanding you, guard to do it – do not add to it nor take away from it. Deuteronomy 12:29-32

His Name is defined by His desires, His Set-Apartness, how He defines Righteousness, how He defines love, His Sabbaths, His Cycles, His Instructions, His reputation, His very essence. We each have a physical name, but our NAME means MUCH more than what people call us!

We must worship Him His Way, and not our OWN way. Whose name and image is being worshiped when we make up our own unscriptural feast days and sabbaths? It's not the Messiah of Scripture, that's for sure!

YHVH didn't name all the idols of the earth because it's not a physical name that is the real problem. The adversary knows the Word intimately, do we not think he would "name" the idols he uses to deceive man differently than YHVH wrote in Scripture?

The delusion is GREAT! Come out of Babylon, and leave behind all of the false mighty ones that are false images of the TRUE Messiah!

"“And it shall be in that day,” declares יהוה of hosts, “that I cut off the names of the idols from the earth, and they shall be remembered no more, and I shall also remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the earth." Zechariah 13:2
