Q223. Is cherishing sin in our hearts such a deadly obstacle to prayer?
"Son of man," God says, "these men have set up their idols in their hearts and placed the stumbling block of their sin before their faces. Should I let them inquire of Me at all? I will set My face against that man and make him a sign and a byword. And I will cut him off from among My people".
Scripture Proofs — King James Version
1
Ezekiel 14:3, 8
“Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them? And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.”
