This is Killing You!

The greatest and most common cause of curses in people’s lives is breaking the first two commandments. In fact, I’m inclined to believe you cannot break those commandments without coming under a curse. Now let me read those words.

“You shall have no other gods before me.”

But the Hebrew means just as much ‘beside’ me. It’s not a question of having the Lord as the main god and other gods as well, because He says, “I am the Lord, and besides me there is no other God.” So, you must not acknowledge any other god except the true God.

And the second is what we would call idolatry.

“You shall not make for yourself any carved image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me.”
