WHEN GOD ABANDONS

When a people refuse instruction, they are often left alone for destruction even though they still pray and call on God's name. God said in Hosea 4:17 "Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone". In Matthew 15:14 the Lord Jesus said "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch".



 And haven been marked for destruction, God will further deafen their ears and seal their understanding. In Isaiah 6:10 -12 the Bible says,
10 "Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

 11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, 

 12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land".
When we encounter such people group, intercession is made first for the Almighty God to release His mercy and unplug their ears so they will hear and understand and be saved.
