Hanukkah was about a war between God and Zeus, a Greek god. His statue was placed in the temple, defiling it. The worship of Zeus was carnal, an idol to fill the senses. The Lord is not an object, nor an idol. His worship is spiritual; of the Spirit. The feast of Hanukkah uniquely gives clues about end-time culture; a war between the carnal and the spiritual. Our present culture focuses on the senses. "If it feels good, do it." Unfortunately, this has seeped into the House of God. Believers are told to go by feelings. "God will make you feel good; feel the Spirit." This is not the way of God; it's of Zeus. Feelings must never lead faith; only follow. We follow God; He's beyond the sensual. We are never called to feel God, but to know God. We live by faith, not by sight. We still know Him when we don't feel Him. We praise Him when we don't feel like it. Stop going by feelings. Know it, believe it, choose it, and stand in it. For you are of not of Zeus, but Jehovah!
From Message #936 - Zeus & Jehovah
Today, make it your aim not to live by your feelings, senses, or emotions, but by the reality of God, the truth of the Word, the assurance of the Gospel.
Scripture: Deuteronomy 5:7-8
