Do one or more of these behaviours keep showing up in your life:
- Dissatisfaction – no joy, negativity, counting your curses instead of your blessings; always wanting more but never having enough,
- Dis-ease – restlessness, lack of peace and contentment, always feeling like you are coming up short or not good enough,
- Distemper – anger, frustration, judgmental attitude towards others (even those close to you)?
If you see yourself experiencing one or more of these three behaviours it’s because you are whoring around with the gods of this world. Gods of popularity, fashion, academics, materialism, narcotics, alcohol or sex; the gods of wealth, and yes even health. These have become gods to us because we look to them to satisfy our hearts. We have pursued them with our energy, given them our life, and even sacrificed our children to them. And yet, they never come through. They always, always, let us down.
Consider the money god. It will never give you what you deeply need, make you who you really want to be, or take you where you truly want to go? All it will do is curse you with it’s absence.
The story of Hosea and his wife, Gomer, reveals two very important truths: all of us are prone to prostituting ourselves and the consequences are dire and God desires to be our true husband whose love is so fulfilling that we never prostitute ourselves again.
Do you want to be free from the gods who have enslaved you into prostitution?

“For your Maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is his name…for the Lord has called you like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, like a wife of youth when she is cast off..For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great COMPASSION I will gather you” Isaiah 54:5-7
I used to be a prostitute of religion, now with great compassion God has made me a bride! I am a Bride, a Wife of the Lamb (Rev 21:9 “Come, I will show you the Bride, Wife of the Lamb”) May you be blessed!
Thanks for sharing. Compassion is God’s signature word; Jesus is constantly said to have compassion for people. Did you know that the Greek word for compassion means “his guts ached”? His love for us so moved him – even physically!
Wow! this was intense, I liked it, because it is true. We have made these things into idols, they control our outlook on people, destroy relationships, certain our hearts into greed and for some they become excuses for making bad decisions. Who are we to blame for this? Maybe the media, maybe society as a whole, possibly ourselves for allowing such things to become our way of life. I know some things cannot be avoided, this may be obvious and sometimes I have to wonder if none of these mattered as much as they do now, would things be different, would be have the same outlook on life as they do now, who knows. I find this post to be very interesting, a good piece of information and something for readers to consider.
