Oh, Heavenly Father great is Your wisdom and pure is Your instruction leading us in the way we should go. Twice was it stated in the book of Acts 15 that we should "abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality" if we keep ourselves from these, we will do well. May we be as Jacob who said to his household and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments." Heavenly Father we repent of hidden idols and for being complacent with those we love who are worshiping false gods that come in many forms. Relics made of gold and silver, cosmetics and fashion, food and drink, music and entertainment or the favorite sports hero, the list goes on...many seductions that have caused us to turn away from You Lord. Forgive us Lord for allowing the spirit of Jezebel to teach and seduce our loved ones into committing sexual immorality and eating things sacrificed to idols. Forgive us Lord for not boldly speaking truth to those being tempted and lured into darkness. Forgive us Lord for denying the truth that unrighteousness will not inherit the kingdom of God. Jesus, wash us, cleanse and sanctify us. By Your precious blood we are justified as though we were never fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, homosexuals, sodomites, thieves, coveters, drunkards, revilers, extortioners and more. All things are lawful for us but not all things are beneficial. Our bodies are not ours but belong to Christ. By Your Holy Spirit may we flee from these things which are not edifying or glorifying. May we honor You Lord in all we do and say with thanksgiving because You have bought us with a great price. We love You Lord Jesus. Amen.
