Listen! The Lord is the same for all people. He wants Holiness but the West has become a plague. We have replaced obedience to the Lord with the our own way. John Calvin wrote in his “COMMENTARIES ON THE TWELVE MINOR PROPHETS (Vol. 1)” this:
“That our sacrifices then may please God, they must be according to the rule of his word;for ‘obedience,’ as it has been said already, ‘is better than all sacrifices,’ (1 Samuel 15:22.)But when men retake themselves to false forms of worship or such as are invented, nothing then is holy or acceptable to God, but an abominable filth.” (Pg. 175 Christian Classics Ethereal Library )
The Lord knows us, but we do not know Him. We are all
fallen. If we lack true repentance , we will never find Him. God's Judgment is
coming. All will be broken by it. In pain, we seek the enemy for deliverance
but will not find healing. For the Almighty , He is is the Lion of Judah seeks
to deliver. In distress, they will find His presence as Hosea wrote in Hosea
5:15 “I will go away and return to My place Until they acknowledge their guilt
and seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”NASU
Come and return to the Lord. The same
Lord who brought judgment can bring restoration is we seek Him completely. We
need to search to know the Lord. Jack Riggs wrote in his book “Hosea's
Heartbreak, ”A persistent, diligent endeavor to know the Lord can result only
in His blessing.” (Pg. 103; Loizeaux brothers 1983) The Lord prefers love above
all else, but we broke His covenant. Our love is lost so He must judge.
When God would heal, the sin was to
great. The West are sex addicts. Our evil is open to all. Because of sin God is
hiding His Spirit. No one calls on the Lord. The Most High wants to bless.
