To desecrate means to divert from a sacred to a profane use or purpose. I believe that anything FATHER intends is its Sacred purpose. In the strictest sense, the purpose of every living thing on earth has a Sacred purpose of design and to promote, act on, or suggest another purpose is to desecrate its purpose. On the other hand, to embrace and support the purpose FATHER gave someone or something is to honor HIM. Those who do, walk in gratitude toward HIM. That turned out not to be the case in the days of Noah:
Genesis 6:5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
The wickedness of that time became so great, FATHER found it necessary to judge the whole world except eight souls, Noah and his family:
9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
We are clearly at the end of another age where the sacredness of manhood, womanhood, and childhood are all being desecrated and redefined to suit the intent of those who do not know FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love. I Love all mankind no matter what their persuasion. However that does not mean I must accept their beliefs just as they do not accept mine. I hate no one and understand that FATHER’S judgment upon man is not one of everlasting condemnation but instead is an act of Love to remove them from habitual wickedness and sin. Death and destruction of the flesh ultimately reunites them with FATHER after a time of cleansing and correction. It’s all good.
In the 1st chapter of the Book of Jeremiah, it is revealed that FATHER knew us before we were formed in the womb:
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Then said I: “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”
7 But the LORD said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the LORD.
Within these few verses is a great assurance and understanding of our life. First, we did not begin our life in the womb of a woman but instead FATHER already knew us thus our life preceded the physical formation of the sperm and egg. This places all of us on equal footing and in the end our physical parents, whether known or not, were not the primary source of our life. We should be grateful to them but not look at them as our final source of who we are.
Secondly, we have a purpose before we were formed in the womb and FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love created that purpose. It is up to each of us to seek out that purpose and consistently move toward its fulfillment.
Thirdly, FATHER watches over HIS plan to deliver you from any obstacle that would prevent you from fulfilling your purpose. This is where you must trust IN HIM and express your desire to fulfill HIS purpose. Do you think HE will support other activities which would divert you from your purpose? HIS mercy and grace are sufficient for you while you are maturing to the point of deciding to respond to your purpose but in the end HE expects you to choose the right path for your physical life here on earth. He expects you not to “desecrate” your temple. In Psalm 139, we are also given confirmation of what was told to us in Jeremiah:
13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;f
Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.
The Love of many are growing cold and thus they are allowing their Sacred purpose to be “desecrated”. Let us not be counted among them but instead let the Presence of FATHER dwell in our Holy Temples for the purpose of ministering to all mankind, not matter what the persuasion. Let the idols be removed from our temples and let our temples be fully cleansed and consecrated for HIS use. Let HIS Presence shine brightly in our faces, visible among all men. Let HIS Love draw all men away from the desecrations occurring all over the globe. Let us arise with healing in “our wings”. To be continued…
