The gods of this world are present and active in our culture. They prefer to work anonymously, remaining unnamed. When named, identified and exposed, they lose their cloak of secrecy and most of all their deadly grip on us and the culture. The gods that have hidden themselves in your temple need to be named and cast out (Ezekiel 8). In this way God can reign without rival in your heart.
“For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens; splendor and majesty are before Him, strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.” Psalm 96:4-6 (NASB)
