1 Corinthians 12:2-3 - You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led. Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.
Jeremiah 10:5 - Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, and they cannot speak; they have to be carried, for they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”
Habakkuk 2:19 - Woe to him who says to a wooden thing, Awake; to a silent stone, Arise! Can this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in it.
Romans 9:3 – For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh.
Application:
· Idols can do nothing at all
· Do I depend on other influences to give me guidance, or do I depend on the Holy Spirit for guidance?
· I am not able to pronounce a curse on Jesus, if I am regenerated by the Holy Spirit.
· Do I love others so much that I wish to be delivered over to the wrath of God for eternal destruction so that they might be saved?
