Turn from your idols and renounce all your detestable practices!

Ezekiel 14:1-11
When any of the Israelites set up idols in their hearts and put a wicked stumbling block before their faces and then go to a prophet, I the Lord will answer them myself in keeping with their great idolatry. I will do this to recapture the hearts of the people of Israel, who have all deserted me for their idols.
This is what the Sovereign Lordsays: Repent! Turn from your idols and renounce all your detestable practices!
And if the prophet is enticed(誘惑) to utter a prophecy(說出預言), I the Lord have enticed that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him and destroy him from among my people Israel. They will bear their guilt—the prophet will be as guilty as the one who consults him.
God claims a unique place in the heart of his people. Those who deny him his rightful place, worshipping other 'gods' alongside, are destined for destruction. The majority regard the few godly people among them as an insurance against disaster. But at this point in time not even Noah or Job could save anyone but themselves.
Why?
Set idols or God in our heart is the most important matter. Those who fear the Lord will put God in his heart. And Jesus came later He arranged Holy Spirit in our heart, when we accepted Jesus Christ as out savior.
Turn from your idols and renounce all your detestable practices: Turn our focus on the Lord instead of the world and confess out sins.
How?
Set up God in my heart, repent our sins and humble before the Lord!
