Promise 14 from Leviticus 20:22

Lev. 20:22 - "'You are therefore to keep all My statues and all My ordinances and do them, so that the land to which I am bringing you to live will not spew you out.'" - God is giving His people a land that is filled with terrible practices such as child sacrifice, idol worship, sexual offerings, homosexual practices and other abhorrent behaviour. He then tells them to not do the things they will see others do but to be strong and keep His laws and ordinances. It is interesting that He says that His laws shall be followed so that the land doesn't "spew" or force them out. You would think that the opposite would be true, that if they didn't go along with the cultural practices, they would be forced out of the land. In god's kingdom, in His domain, and on His children, it is the unrighteous that bows to the righteous. It is the unrighteous who flee from righteousness. Because God is ultimately in control of His creation, His perfect order makes holiness and righteousness trump over everything else which falls short. One righteous person is strong enough to infect a whole unrighteous culture, which can spread throughout the land bringing healing and transformation of that culture into purity and holiness. Henry Varley was correct when he said, after the all night prayer meeting in Henry Bewley's home in Dublin in 1873, "The world has yet to see what God can do with and for and through and in a man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him." God knows His potential, therefore stay strong in Him and all else that is not of Him shall flee!
