Unleashed and Released

September 27

“(1) Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, "Come, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him."

(2) And Aaron said to them, "Break off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me."

(3) So all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron. (4) And he received the gold from their hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molded calf.

Then they said, "This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!"

(5) So when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, "Tomorrow is a feast to the LORD."

(6) Then they rose early on the next day, offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and drink, then rose up to play,” Exodus 32:1-6.


People tend to want God to be ‘Johnny-on-the-Spot.’ They say their prayers, and if they aren’t answered immediately, they abandon the request they have sought with the assumption that God is either unwilling or unable to help them attain their desired end. Perhaps even worse is the fact that man performs godless actions and because his punishment does not come immediately, he presumes God is either impotent or disinterested in doling out the vengeance His has claimed for Himself.

Going ‘off to play’ when God doesn’t move immediately is not unique to the Israelites. Modern man has perfected this rebellious mindset. Our world today is steeped in behaviors and attitudes and words that discredit the Holy Creator and extol the fallen creation. We will go to any length to attain our will. We will breach any law of God to establish our own lawlessness—and we will demand that it be called right.

As the Israelites of old created an idol that allowed them to worship the basest of their lustfulness, so we have created movies, television programs, novels, magazines that feed our most prurient interests.

We are so steeped in the salacious machinations of the enemy of our soul and his demonic minions and their human hosts that we cannot even blush when propriety is trampled by those who ‘entertain’ us or when the name of Jesus Christ our Holy God and Savior is taken in vain.

Like the Israelites, we sacrifice our earthly wealth to create the hedonistic idol that we worship and we blithely sacrifice our eternal treasure as we indulge it. Like them, we wonder in a self-indulgent desert, void of the Bread of Life and the Living Water that we consider impediments to our temporal delight.

And our world is fast deteriorating into a godless wasteland where every man “does what is right in his own eyes,” Judges 21:25.

“These are the very reasons why Chronicles 7:14 must be proclaimed over the entire USA where every State, every city, every community, every home, every church and every individual receive a revelation of the love of GOD—a revelation that results in conviction and repentance, a heart-cry and recognition of a Savior's sacrifice, confession and renunciation of sin, turning every soul to JESUS CHRIST!!!


“May the LORD BE HONORED, PRAISED AND GLORIFIED as HIS SPIRIT IS UNLEASHED and the GOSPEL RELEASED throughout the land!

“May HE SEND THE RAINS AND SHOWERS OF SALVATION and may the earth REJOICE at the soon coming of KING JESUS!!!!

“LET GOD ARISE AND HIS ENEMIES BE SCATTERED!!!! JESUS CHRIST IS KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!” Pastor Wally Magdangal.
