We live today in a Babylonian environment, and if we are not careful, it can take us away.

“Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts, and put before them that which causes them to stumble into iniquity. Should I let Myself be inquired of at all by them?” Ezekial 14:3. Israel’s leaders had become accustomed to the way of Babylon and had forgotten their God, and when they wanted to hear from God, they sought a prophet.

God may not hear from us, and we may not hear Him when we have raised something else above Him. He will not share His glory with anyone or anything. Ask God if you have a stronghold or Idol in your heart?
