VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. How does an unbeliever worship their idols?

1. altars

2. pillars

3. groves with fire

4. graven images

5. names

"Deuteronomy 12:3 (King James Version)

And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place."

Numbers 33:52 (Amplified Bible)

Then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you and destroy all their figured stones and all their molten images and completely demolish all their [idolatrous] high places,

Judges 2:2 (Amplified Bible)

And you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; but you shall break down their altars. But you have not obeyed My voice. Why have you done this?

2 Chronicles 31:1 (Amplified Bible)

NOW WHEN all this was finished, all Israel present there went out to the cities of Judah and broke in pieces the pillars or obelisks, cut down the Asherim, and threw down the high places [of idolatry] and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the Israelites returned to their own cities, every man to his possession.

It's painful to discuss how unbelievers worship their idols? They have devised everything, they have faked everything and there's a counterpart of everything that we do to our GOD to what they do with their idols. They have altars, pillars, groves with fire, graven images and names of their GOD.

Illustration: I remember one who worships idols don't want to read the bible and when I placed the bible in her hands she got angry, and she told me it's not for ordinary people to read the bible, it's for those only who dress in white robes. I pity her, knowledge and information are usually removed from them so they can continue to worship their idols with closed eyes.

Luke 6:39 (Amplified Bible)

He further told them a proverb: Can a blind [man] guide and direct a blind [man]? Will they not both stumble into a ditch or a hole in the ground?

But we have also a responsibility to tell them the truth if they so asked even if it hurts them.

Isaiah 43:8 (Amplified Bible)

Bring forth the blind people who have eyes and the deaf who have ears.

And we can all start to lead them by letting them first open their eyes and read what the bible has to say in such a topic.

B. What are we going to do with their idols?

1. Overthrow

2. Break

3. Destroy

All three words namely: overthrow, break and destroy have [ALEPH-TAV] after them. This is an SM (Secret Message) from the LORD.

Overthrow or "nathats" in Hebrew meaning:

1. to tear down

2. to beat down

3. break down (out), cast down, destroy, overthrow, pull down, throw down

Break or "shabar" in Hebrew meaning:

1. to burst

2. break

3. bring to the birth

4. crush, destroy, hurt, quench, tear

Destroy or "abad" in Hebrew meaning:

1. to wander away

2. lose oneself

3. to perish

4. to destroy

Idolatry in the new testament is no longer limited to graven images but it starts in the heart of man. Idolatry is someone, something, some event, place or you yourself if you stand between GOD and yourself so you will prioritize others before GOD. Idolatry is something that stands between you and GOD.

Example:

We are told by the bible to focus our eyes on JESUS but if we focus it on our money by not bringing the complete tithes to GOD's storehouse - the church. Then that money is your idol.

Malachi 3:10 (Amplified Bible)

Bring all the tithes (the whole tenth of your income) into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and prove Me now by it, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Colossians 3:5 (Amplified Bible)

So kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members [those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin]: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry (the deifying of self and other created things instead of God).

1 Corinthians 10:14 (Amplified Bible)

Therefore, my dearly beloved, shun (keep clear away from, avoid by flight if need be) any sort of idolatry (of loving or venerating anything more than God).

Colossians 3:5 (Amplified Bible)

So kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members [those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin]: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry (the deifying of self and other created things instead of God).

Pinpoint idols in your lives by thinking of things that hinder you from obeying GOD fully. If your work or job hinders you from obeying GOD, then your work is your idol.

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You have overthrown, broken and destroyed all these idols within our hearts.
