Idols are subtle they hide for years unrecognized and some are very obvious. But with the help of God I can weed them out. God will help me identify them, and cast them out. I can't do anything with out God. And I wouldn't want to do anything with out God.

Love Prayer Song To God

One God, First love I want to be true.

No one else, nothing ever above You.

My king, my all in all I want to be loyal to You.

Take my life be in control of all I say and do.

I know I'm not a puppet on a string,

Just because I give everything.

It's my will, my hearts desire,

to obey You my God my king my sire.

I want You on the throne of my heart night and day.

Because I love You so there I long for You to stay.

I know Your ways are the best.

In You I have my being, hope, peace, life and rest.

Let me never place anyone or anything above You. 

May my heart always be obedient and true. 

Take all that I am and will be.

I want to be long completely to thee.

Possessed ?

Am I possessed? I don't mean by demons but by things. To be possessed means that what ever possesses you is in control. Only God should be in control so that must me it has become like a god to me. I pondered this after reading in the bible about Israel chasing after other gods. So I started wondering if there were other gods in my life and how could I recognize them. That's when I remembered anything that takes the place of  God is an idol, a false god. The Lord helped me to realize anything in control of me possesses me. He is the only one who should be in control so, anything or anyone else who is in control of me must be an idol, or a false god. With this knowledge under my belt I am starting to search.  Do I expect it to save me from trouble? Do I look to it for all my happiness and for comfort? These are things I  should look to God for. If  I answered yes to those questions then I would say money has control over a pretty good chunk of my life. Therefore money would be considered an Idol. I would need to repent and take away money's control over me and ask God to take control again. Do I expect my husband to save me from all my troubles? Do I look to him for all my happiness and all my needs? If  yes then he too has become an idol in my life. What about myself?  Do I think that through quick thinking and quick action and quick talking I can save myself from all my troubles? Do I look to myself for all my happiness and needs? If so I too have become an Idol. Who possesses my love? Do I love God more than anyone or anything? I love my husband very deeply but I love God even more. And I pray that  my husband loves God more than me. Who in control of my actions? This is a harder one to answer. God has given me free will. Yet He can and will be in control if I ask Him to. Such as if  I ask Him to help me take control of my temper. He will as much as I let Him. So here I am trying to weed idols out of my life. Here I am trying to give God complete possession and control of my life. This isn't easy little idols can be hard to recognize or even be aware of  if they have been around a long time unidentified. I am sure that during my life I will have to seek and destroy idols more than once as they try to creep back in or as new ones try to form. May they Lord and the Holy Spirit help me and protect me in this endeavor. In Jesus Name Amen.

You shall have no other gods before Me. Exodus 20:3, No temptation has over taken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 1 Corinthians 10:13-14, He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. Matthew 10:37, For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one measure of faith. Romans 12:3, Know that the Lord He is God; It is He who made us, and not we ourselves; Psalm 100:3
