SEPARATED


IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2012

SEPARATED


  And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 
  And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 
 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 
 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 
2Corinthians 6:15-18

What is your relationship with Belial?  The wicked man of unbelief, lawlessness and uncleanness desires to walk in agreement with you.  Perhaps you have a classmate who is befriending you and bringing you down with dirty language, or dirty jokes, or introducing you to dirty internet activity.  Or maybe you have an inappropriate co-worker whose pulling you into that private office and closing the door to discuss "business."  Or is it the ungodly television and music that you have settled into and allowed  to take control.  

God is calling us out of every unclean thing.  He is calling us to be separated from Belial.  He is calling us to Christ Jesus and to the peace Christ brings.

Today, let us be through with Belial!
