Generation after them

"And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers, and there arose another generation after them who did not know (recognize, understand) the Lord, or even the work which He had done for Israel. And the people of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and served the Baals" (Judges 2:10, 11 AMP). The children of the world today must be taught the Living Word of God. God's Word must be lived out in faith by parents, brothers, sisters, and every believer. We need to see a powerful move of God, transformation in our churches, and pure and holy living arising in this generation. These things will only happen when we seek the face of God. Today, man is surrounded by many man-made idols, idols that have become gods to the heart of man. Joshua lived a long one-hundred and ten years of age. All who lived during Joshua's days served the Lord, but once the men and women who sought the presence of God passed on, their children forsook God. The children of Israel, who did not know the Lord or the works of God's hand, did evil in the sight of the Lord. They forsook God, the God of their fathers, and they began to worship and follow other gods, the gods of the people who were around them. The children of God no longer threw down the altars of the world. They no longer obeyed the voice of the Lord, for they made a league with the inhabitants of the land. When one steps out into the world without obedience to God, one will get wrapped up in the system of the world. The world doesn't become more Christian, but rather Christians become more worldly. Jesus cannot change who does not want to change. He respects everyone's will. However, He will get their attention, and if they do not desire to follow Him then His hand of protection will come off of them. "So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and He gave them into the power of plunderers who robbed them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could no longer stand before their foes"(vs. 14). It is a dangerous thing to walk away from God's presence to go after the lusts of this world. Where are the Joshua's today? God bless you. Amen
