The Scripture makes it very clear that as we focus on purity we experience power from above. Paul stressed this in his final letter to his understudy Timothy. “Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter [i.e., “iniquity”], he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work” (2Ti 2:21). How? The process is simple: God the Father works through the Son. The Son works through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit works through the Word. The Word works through the believer. The believer works through living faith.

Chapter 3 Ezekiel eats the scroll. He is declared a watchman. Ezekiel 4 he makes a siege works of clay. Chapter 5 he illustrates the destruction of Jerusalem and the remnant. Chapter 7 -“the end has come”. Righteousness and Justice are Gods character (Psa 89:14). <U>Ezekiel Chapter 7 Outline</U>: The final disaster (Eze 7:1-9); demolition of pride (Eze 7:10-15); judgment on wealth idolatry and religion (Eze 7:16-22); the grand finale (Eze 7:23-27). Judgment falls on the unsaved, discipline falls on believers. Discipline is for correction - from reproof to premature death - is motivated by divine love. God deals with us in Mercy (Rom 2:6) If you sow to the spirit you reap the Spirit, but to the flesh, destruction (Gal 6:7, 2Co 11:15, Jer 17:10). If we judge ourselves, He will not judge (1Co 11:11). False prophets always preach an acceptable message (Eze 7:25). God takes the word from those He destroyed (Eze 7:26, Amo 8:11).
