Often we hear that if people are not repentant then God is going to visit America with judgment, or the church with judgment, or many other variations on this theme. The truth is, judgment is already here, and that is why we see what we do.
Now let's get the order of this disorder right in our minds. People believe that we do these vile things we see, and so God is displeased, and He is, but the process is vice versa. God is displeased and we do these vile things as a result.
When God speaks of judgment, often it is not that God will lay His hand on us, but take it off us. He will leave us to our own depraved devices.
Get it right – It is idolatry first, immorality second. Everything sinful hinges upon this exchange in all its forms. We don't like God as He chooses to reveal Himself, and/or we don't like the restrictions God places upon us, and we create a god of our own image. Apply this to order your sanctification. Stop the idolatry first, and you'll stop the sin. We want to stop the habitual sin first, so that we can please God, but we need to please God, and He will stop the habitual sin. Get the order right and you will be in order. We have habitual sin because of how we habitually see God. With God's guidance you can judge yourself rightly, so don't delay.
