Molech
Baby Girl,
Your society has created a god of their own making, in their own image, to their own liking, and is peddling it as a counterfeit version of Me.
The god THEY have created is a god with a lowercase “g.” Many ministers professing to be followers of Christ are lying on the altar of this god rather than standing on the cross of Christ. To worship THIS god they have created is no different than what the Canaanites did when they worshipped the god Molech, who was associated with the sacrifice of children.
Go ahead. See what My Word has to say about Molech.
Jeremiah 32:35
They built the high places of Baal to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech though I did not command them, nor did it enter into My mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
Leviticus 18:21
You shall not give any of your children to offer them to Molech, and so profane the name of your God; I am the LORD.
Leviticus 20:1-8
Anyone who gives of his children to Molech shall surely be put to death… I will set My face against that man and against his clan and will cut them off from among their people, him and all who follow him in whoring after Molech.
Deuteronomy 12:31
They even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
1 Kings 11:4-7
Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the LORD and did not wholly follow the LORD as his father David had done, but built a high place for Molech, the abomination of the Ammonites.
2 Chronicles 33:6
He burned his sons as an offering in the valley of the son of Hinnom. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.
Ezekiel 20:25-26
They were defiled through their gifts in offering up all their firstborn.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12
There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his sons or his daughters as an offering.
You can stop there.
Our hour is quickly fading into the night and we haven’t yet gotten to the point of all of this. There will be a very real temptation for you to preach a “gospel” that is soft on sin so, as a minister of Mine, you can “fit in.” Don’t seek to fit in. True Holiness is a sacrifice of self that many are unwilling to make.
To be Holy as I am Holy in your society will make you a square peg in a world full of round holes. You were created to live IN this world - not to be OF it.
There is a reason Jesus said, “They hated Me, they will hate you, too.” If everyone loves the gospel you preach, you are likely preaching the “gospel of Molech.”
It is not popular to teach your children My standards for sex, sexuality, and marriage. When your society reads the laws I had around sex, sexuality, and marriage in the Old Testament, they don’t understand My heart for humanity and the evil practices people had around those concepts in the time Scripture was written. Most are reading it from your culture’s perspective and so it sounds archaic, patriarchal, and some of it cruel.
When My standards for sex, sexuality, and marriage are lived out in a Loving context, with a man sacrificing himself for his wife, laying down is life as I did for the church, and a woman choosing Biblical submission to a man, understanding that HE will ultimately stand before Me responsible for the outcome of his choices, marriage is a beautiful thing. You are getting closer to understanding that and, as a result, slowly but surely you are beginning to reap the benefits of this godly union.
When you, to coddle your children and make them like you, lower your moral standards for them, you are no better than the Canaanite people who would throw their firstborn child into the fire to honor the god of Molech. You are sacrificing your children when you fail to teach them to be Holy as I am Holy. As you know, there are fleeting moments of happiness in a life of sin - but a life of sin is robbed of joy and blessings.
There is no such thing as a second virginity. That is a lie that was sold by the enemy to lull My people into complacency. There is repentance and forgiveness of sin but your generation has bought the assumption that promiscuity is a right of passage for young people and has surrendered all responsibility to teach your children to honor the precious gift I gave them and to offer it to their future partner on their wedding night. It is a gift that cannot be given twice and no one is telling their children.
Don’t be afraid to be a square peg in a world full of round holes.
Teach young mothers to teach their young children. Take the babies back from Molech, one by one, by teaching young mothers to live godly lives and teach their children to do the same.
Don’t let the enemy pull your failures into this conversation. They are under the Blood and forgiven. This conversation is not intended to condemn people for where they have been but is a call to repentance and righteousness. Be Holy as I am Holy… not because you SHOULD but because with Holiness comes My Blessing.
LOVE you, Little One.
Daddy
