Christ with their mouths, and they bring their incense before Him. Yet Christ never came
to call confessors, or even worshipers. He came to make disciples after the image of God.
It is of no value to worship an image of Christ week after week if you are not being
conformed to His image. It is no good to call Him “Lord, Lord” if you do not do the things
He commands. The church today offers salvation without transformation, but Yahweh says
that true salvation is transformation, and there is no salvation without transformation. The
word salvation is synonymous with the word deliverance. To be saved from sin is to be
delivered from sin.

Galatians 6:7-9
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also
reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows
to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

I Corinthians 6:9
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not
be deceived.

Over and over the Scriptures declare “Do not be deceived,” but the saints are deceived.
They reason that it is enough to confess Christ and maintain the same scent and flavor as
the unwashed world. They live for self and are filled with covetousness and are seeking after
things of this world while bringing their sacrifice of praise before God week after week.
If you are not being conformed to the image and likeness of God then you are
deceiving yourself concerning God’s will for you. You are in rebellion and are living in
idolatry. May God raise up many men and women with the spirit of Hezekiah in this hour
who will smash the idols of Christendom. May these men and women declare “Cease
worshiping your images of Christ and begin being conformed to Christ. Let His image be
formed in you.” This is the will of God and nothing else will satisfy His desire.
The voice of God is crying out today through the prophet Jeremiah:

Jeremiah 7:21-23
I did not speak to your fathers, or command them in the day that I brought them out
of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. But this is what I
commanded them, saying, “Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be
My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may be
well with you.”

The church has repeated the error of Israel. When God called them to obedience and
righteousness they preferred worship and sacrifice instead. The church says, “Let us
continue to live for those things that perish. Let us devote ourselves to acquiring houses and
lands and material possessions of all kinds. Let us pursue pleasure, and let us protect our
flesh from the suffering of the cross. But this we will do, we will venerate Christ’s image,
and we will bring our offerings of money and praise before Him. Let this be sufficient.”
Do not be deceived! Such man-made religious acts are not sufficient before God. He
will only be content when He sees the image of His Son formed in the lives of those who
have been called and chosen for this honor. If your church is calling people to worship
before an image of the crucified Christ, but it is not bringing people to a conformity to
