God will break down any barriers between you and His will for your life as a member of the Body of Christ. He will remove any person, place or thing that stands in His way. We may not understand but we need to trust Him to accomplish His will for our life. Satan wants nothing more than to destroy God’s people with false promises to lull them into complacency.
He is the Lord over all and His truth alone will stand.
The Book of Ezekiel reveals that the prophet was married and had a house. Overall, he enjoyed a large measure of freedom in captivity. The Babylonians had not captured the Jews in order to make them slaves in Babylon; instead they wanted to displace the population of Israel, especially its leadership and nobility, and settle their own citizens and other foreigners in the land. As for his personality and abilities, Ezekiel appears to have been articulate, intelligent, and dramatic. He was a person that could withstand great opposition in order to obey the demands God placed on His life.
The preaching of a false peace had prompted people to build for a “certain” future; but only the opposite was certain. The false prophets had deceived the people with false hopes of comfort and prosperity. Their deception placed them not only at odds with God’s truth, but also with God Himself. Their destruction was certain.
Ezekiel 13:13-14
13 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “I will cause a stormy wind to break forth in My fury; and there shall be a flooding rain in My anger, and great hailstones in fury to consume it. 14 So I will break down the wall you have plastered with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered; it will fall, and you shall be consumed in the midst of it. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.
10 “Because, indeed, because they have seduced My people, saying, ‘Peace!’ when there is no peace—and one builds a wall, and they plaster it with untempered mortar—
Ezekiel 13:10
