‘Because you have defiled My sanctuary… I Myself will withdraw My favour’ (Ezekiel 5:11).
To those who despise His Word and treat the place of prayer with contempt, Jesus still speaks His Word of judgment: ‘My House will be called a House of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves’ (Matthew 21:13). God is warning us: ‘You have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember …
