Part Two

You shall utterly destroy all the places,  wherein the nations which you shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains,  and upon the hills, and under every green tree: and you shall overthrow their altars, and burn their groves with fire (why do you think we must be baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire?) and you shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place  - How needed is the ministry of "spiritual house cleaning" - something our ministry does for people.  Individuals need this as well as churches. They need Apostles and Prophets to come in and cleanse them of all that isn't of God. It takes great humility on the part of those receiving this "house cleaning" to go through it  - but it also requires humility on the part of those administering it. 

Rehoboam ordained him priests for the high places,  and for the devils and for the calves which he had made - there will always be priests (pastors, leaders) who will be attracted to money and power  - to the "kings" of their day  - who will prostitute their talents and anointing in service to evil kings. As far as I'm concerned,  the men who head and maintain denominations are "evil kings"  - who have priests (pastors) to minister in their  "high places" (churches).

But when we lift the Lord up into the "high places of our hearts" - all that used to be there must go, and will go  - "And his heart was lifted up in the ways of The Lord " Oh may this be said of all God's people  - moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah (2 Chronicles 17:6) Hallelujah!
