Deuteronomy 12:2 You shall completely destroy all the places where the nations whom you will dispossess have served their gods, on the high mountains and on the hills and under every flourishing tree.
3 And you shall tear down their altars and crush their pillars; and their Asherahs you shall burn with fire, and the idols of their gods you shall cut down; and you shall destroy their name from that place.
The most up-to-date speaking of the Lord to me personally these days is to "completely destroy" anything that is NOT in line with the Lord's holy nature and divine life. There are many things that are good in the eyes of man, even very much appreciated and longed for, but these things may not necessarily be from God or of God. On the contrary, it may turn out to be so evil in the eyes of God that they need to be dealt with thoroughly and even be destroyed completely.
In my recent experiences of life, I have been dealt with on certain matter that has it valid points and condemn-able points. With the pros and cons balancing in my soulish weigh-scale, at times they were condemned yet other times were justified. This inward struggling has eaten up some energy and time. Nevertheless, I am glad I have such an experience of learning some deep lesson of life, without which my learning would be incomplete.
The Lord have been so gracious to me that He is patient in waiting for me to grow and mature to be able to handle such situation. Very recently, a couple of days ago, the speaking of the Lord was very definite and strong; it was, "completely destroy". Besides, I must be willing to submit to the Lord's speaking to completely destroy anything that hinders the Lord's move in and through me. In oneness with the Lord's speaking, the Lord further confirmed His speaking in the Body through the holy word for morning revival on the matter of "subduing my will" as blogged in "Union of Will"- http://palmeichung.blogspot.in/2015/01/union-of-will.html.
On hearing such a direct word from the Lord, I praised God in solemn wonder, that He knows me and loves me and wants to train and perfect me for His purpose on this earth. O it was a such a blessing to receive the Lord's speaking. Yes, to be one with His speaking, I must be fully subdued in my inward part, especially in my will to be one with God in His will manifested through His speaking. O the grace for me to enjoy and experience the Lord to such an extend that i am fully one with Him to carry out His will and completely destroy all that is not according to His will.
As I considered the cost and the consequences of such, the Lord is very gracious. He knows me and my real condition and spoke further that I can "eat" what my soul so desires, but with a limit to what should be eaten and what should not be eaten.
20 When Jehovah your God enlarges your territory, as He has promised you, and you say, I will eat meat, because your soul desires to eat meat, you may eat meat according to all that your soul desires.
21 If the place where Jehovah your God will choose to put His name is too far away from you, you may slaughter from your herd and from your flock, which Jehovah has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates according to all that your soul desires;
22 Indeed, as the gazelle and the deer are eaten, so you may eat it; the unclean and the clean may eat it alike.
23 But make sure that you do not eat the blood; for the blood is the life, and you shall not eat the life with the flesh.
This "eating" must conform to God's holy nature and God's divine life; not a matter of right or wrong, but a matter of life or not life. Everything done in the Spirit and by the life of God is safe and healthy. All else is wrong and sinful, and do not give room to the enemy to lurk in. All is well in the Spirit, when ungodly things are completely destroyed that I may go on to be one with God in His move on this earth.
Lord, grant me the grace to completely destroy all objects or things or matters that is not one with You absolutely, and grace me further to be so, by being absolutely one with You in Your will concerning any matter.
