17) So, come out from among [unbelievers], and separate (sever) yourselves from them, says the Lord, and touch not [any] unclean thing; then I will receive you kindly and treat you with favor, [Isaiah. 52:11.]

18) And I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty. [Isaiah. 43:6; Hosea. 1:10.]

7:1) THEREFORE, SINCE these [great] promises are ours, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that contaminates and defiles body and spirit, and bring [our] consecration to completeness in the [reverential] fear of God.

7:1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (New King James Version)

God is a God of love, as we have been told many times by many people. But He also has a wrath side.

He is Holy, and He expects His people to walk in His Holiness.

I have experienced the “WRATH SIDE” of God. It isn’t pleasant. It was, however, necessary for me. Without it, I wouldn’t be saved today. God had to literally get angry with me before I would give my life to Him.

I DON’T RECOMMEND GOING THAT FAR.

Playing games with God is not a good thing to do. He knows our hearts. Really. So when we use that as an excuse, He really does know what we are doing and He doesn’t like it.

When I was about 2 years old, my Dad, Mom, younger brother and I moved from Davis, CA, where my Dad attended Veterinary school, to the Medford area. My Dad left us there, and he went to Klamath Falls, OR to work for a Vet he knew there.

When I was between the ages 6 and 10, my Mom and Dad divorced. I prayed every day that they would get back together. I wanted more than anything, for my family to be whole. As a child, I didn’t understand that God wouldn’t go beyond our will, so when it didn’t happen, I blamed Him. During that time, I was going to Church at an Episcopal Church. I didn’t understand a whole lot about this God they spoke about. He seemed far away. Also, during this time, a neighbor lady, Mrs. Hill, whose husband happened to be the principle of the school I went to, started a Good News Club after school. I found out a lot more about Jesus and what He did for me through her. I still remember some of the cute little songs we sang. She brought the Bible to life and planted a seed that would, much later, grow into what you see today.

Unfortunately, I didn’t stay a Christian for long.

During my childhood, an older cousin sort of introduced me to sex. They didn’t “go all the way” but they (I won’t say if it was a male or female, it’s none of anyone’s business; so I will refer to him/her as they) did make me do things that felt uncomfortable. It isn’t a big deal to me today, because of what God has done in my life. He has taken all the pain and most of the memory of it away. It is awesome what He will do, when we let Him!

I grew up, and started experimenting with drugs and sex at the age of 13. I had been drinking with my Dad, just sips of his beer, for as long as I can remember.

During my teen years (most of it is a blur) I started messing around with a Ouija board. DO NOT let anyone tell you that they are just harmless little game boards. They are a window into satanic activity. I listened to music and read books that no person should read. Books filled with vulgarity and music that exalted satan. The titles of the music and books are all that

2 Corinthians 6:16 - 2 Corinthians 7:1 (Amplified Version)

6:16) What agreement [can there be between] a temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in and with and among them and will walk in and with and among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. [Exodus. 25:8; 29:45; Lev. 26:12;
