We must drive out and destroy all other places and types of worship in our lives. We cannot worship anything of this world, but only and always our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is jealous and commands us to worship only Him.
Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and burn their Asherah poles in the fire; cut down the idols of their gods and wipe out their names from those places. (Deuteronomy 12:3)
We must destroy all the small ‘gods’ and worship only the one true God! The truth is, we should be so in love with Yahweh that there is no room for other gods like lust or money. Our worship and fulfillment is only in Him.
You must not worship the Lord your God in their way. (Deuteronomy 12:4)
We also can’t just worship our God the way we want, or how we worship the ‘gods’ of this world. The Lord will be honored as He chooses - not with lustful practices, selfish acts, or sacrificing our children, but with Spirit and truth guiding our actions.
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)
