Man must be dethroned part two

"And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone, for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it" Ex:20:35. Once again we see God separating us from that which is man-made, that which is of man. A tool is man-made. Our sacrafice to and worship of God becomes polluted when man comes between us and God. Every idol ever made is just that, MADE by man. Every false image of God comes from man's wisdom, ability, skill, etc., is man making God into his image and God is delivering HIS BRIDE from all of this. Many in churches rely on their own strength, wisdom and skill, believing the lie that they are "special", chosen by God above their peers because of something special about them, they are more humble than anyone else, for instance. I've discovered that the more mightily God uses us in the earth today, the weaker we become and the more dependent on him we become. Truly, apart from him, we can do nothing. We must come to the end of our own strength, wisdom and our very selves in order to be of any use to God. This is why God allowed Satan to sift Peter and it is why Daniel came to the point where "there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I had no strength" Dan:10:8. Our own comliness must be turned within us into corruption or it will corrupt all that is of God within us. Our own beauty and strength and wisdom must be seen for what it is, empty and shallow and completely useless apart from him. We, that is all mankind, have a form of God, we are all exhibiting his form outwardly, in the natural, but not his likeness, to be like him inwardly, no, we are reflections of Satan inwardly. The saints of God, only the "called out ones", those called out of Babylon, those under the blood of the lamb, are being made into his image and likeness.
       We must remember that God chose Israel not because there was anything special about them, in fact he called them a stubborn and a stiff-necked people (sounds like the Churches today). No, he chose them because of his promise to their father, Abraham, and it is for this exact same reason any of us who are born again have been chosen today, because of a promise God made to Abraham (and Jesus)  that through him all the nations of the earth would be blessed. Aren't you glad God isn't like man, who goes back on his word and doesn't keep it?
