Warning And Boundaries

Daily Devotions:
by Christina Farris

Deuteronomy 18:9-22 KJV
9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nation.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
16 According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
17 And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

The warning and boundries God has no room for witchcraft, spirits, wizardry, or necromancer and so forth. These things are called abominations of the Lord and they are to be driven out of the nation. Now today we live in a world of freedom of religion, the freedom of thought, the freedom of allowing things not always of God to exist in our land. We live in a land that is free from the concept of boundaries and warnings. The pandemic might of been man made but iti is a warning of what God is capable of doing and even greater with his own wrath. God's boundaries has to do with the place that is designated for the soul purpose of teaching people the difference between a godly world and a world of no boundaries that allows everything into it.

There is a song in Hocus Pocus that calls the children to come play, then claiming them as theirs for the purpose of putting a spell on them to perserve the three witches life. In the movie it calls the children on Halloween night pulling them from their beds and parties toward the three witches' house. Now as legends go witches ate children or were cannibals in a sense. Going to stop there, we all heard those stories from young age of legends of witches if you went at least to public school. No doubt legends changed over the years on witches like other forms of evil people, yet we have to ask ourselves where is the line drawn. What are we teaching not children but the school of thought on evil. We all heard the story of Hazel and Gretel and yet no one frowns.

Yet I ask myself what kind of morbid society are we raising our children in. What are we teaching our children to stay away from strangers, or to not eat houses that look like candy and are tempting from the outside. I not sure, but I know if you were raised as I was these stories from public school to books from libraries no one thought a thing but it all fantasy or make believe. Then that day comes when you hear that a mental patient that are eating people, and the crowd cries sicko. And say make sure you lock your door at night and get yourself a guard dog and a gun. We thinking nothing of witches worshipping trees, until something changes in our environment that causing harm to it. I want to stop there. God established boundaries for his people for a purpose.

I going to extreme of legends to prove a point, because at one point Israel under seige was force to eat horses flesh and even their own children. Yet if we wanted to go a step further and remember it not uncommon effect of seige of nation, or the ruthless survival of war that causes massive destruction. We hear these stories and wonder how depraved can a nation be to become barbians or people of total destruction of a society. What caused the down fall.

God promises to send godly leaders to the people if they keep evil religion out of his country, out of the land that has a boundary for his people. A place of safety for his people. God is not being cruel when he kicks out sorcery, witchcraft, necromancers and so forth. Kicking out evil spirits that throw children into fires. God is calling his people to a safe world, to a place of safety. When God's people are separated from those left behind, it is the final outcast of evil into the eternal lake of fire, evil will be completely destroyed. There is no more evil, will things be perfect, I believe in a since, do I think mistakes can be made, I sure of it to a degree, but sin will have no place in that world. Building a campertop I have made enough errors to know that perfection not achievable by mankind, but only by the power of God. If you make a sandwich it does not always taste the same, even when you add the same thing, the reason being not everything is exact even down to recipes. We get the idea as humans in New Jerusalem there is complete perfection and I do not think this is quite so. I do not think our ability to sin is there, but our ability to make human error of dropping even a glass of water on the floor. Why because of our enability to be God.

The ideology of no mistakes being made is a farce, but the idea of no sin being made a reality. The enability to disobey God. Our boundary established by God's power, his call, by his saving grace for mankind through His Son. The evilness of man and destruction totally gone. Yet clumsy has a place in heaven. Messy Marvin might still exist. Yet if nothing more for our humor, or reality of our imperfection without God and our need for him.

Let me go a step further, when society gets rid of the things harmful to them and destructive to society, then what do we have a society goaled and strive from those things and people that cause harm because of their evil desires and desires not to change. At the time of Christ, Israel was not in a time of holiness or cleanliness, their world was controlled by Rome, but their desire to live in some form of peace with their beliefs was in a nation of demonaic activity. Christ cast out demons, changed the evil of the land to good through healing and the casting out of evil spirits.

When we see these things called Abominations in God's word, let us remember it is to get rid of things and people of destruction. Even mental patience that do destruction find themselves in cages not able to be healed in our land. I was thinking on the fact some people find themselves behind bars because of one error in their life that caused them to commit a crime. Yet how long had the error been occuring in their life that caused the crime. What level of destruction in their life. It doesn't not mean change can not come to a person of destruction, they have to understand that destructive ways are wrong, or sinful and repent. We all sin and all fall short, but not all find ourselves in jail, but maybe should have at some point in our life. Can we admit we all were deserving of separation from God until his mercy was given through his Son Jesus, through His forgiveness of sin and the only thing we had to do was receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, to believe in his name. To follow after Christ in righteousness, and not evil. To live the life God has called his people to and that one of a life of safety for our nation.

Dear Heavenly Father, your grace is sufficient for us, and your protective hand in our life to rid evil from our land, from our shores. The evil of destruction. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

10 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
