As believers in the finished work of our Messiah Yeshua we have chosen to walk like him, talk like him, live like him and even die like him. We are no longer our own as we were bought with a price, his life's blood. In this we promise to follow God's will, to make it our own. In exchange God has brought us out of "Egypt", the world of sin and death and delivered us into the kingdom of his dear son. We can't switch between the old life and our new life. We can't be split between sin and holiness. We have to be one new creature. We have to make God be supreme in our lives. His word has to have first place in our lives. Here are some things that try to invade the place of God in our lives. Let's be on the lookout for them and make sure they never usurp their subordinate place.
If you read Leviticus 26 you will discover that because we don't give God first place, our nation will fall into the following things: Leviticus 26:1 "Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the L-rd your God." If we don't follow this we will see fear, crop failure, death of our children, occupation by the adversary, and finally captivity and slavery.
