Today we are going to continue looking at the kings that came after Solomon. While this is indeed a look at history, and interesting in itself, the main reason we look at these kings, is to extract keys for life, so you can recognize that you can easily fall as they did and to guard against it. You can extract keys for life from these scriptures and apply them to yourself. Then you cooperate with Holy Spirit to make necessary changes so you can hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant!” As we see from the wars in scripture, it’s not about how many are on our side it’s, “Is God on our side?” Also in this teaching, you will go over how to know if you and others are born again, the role of the modern day prophet, and three things to look for if you are attacked in your life. This teaching is best listened to more than once to glean all the information you need! Listen today!
We are going to continue to look at Jeroboam and how his heart was full of fear and insecurity on many different levels and how this affected the entire nation. Our decisions not only affect us, but those around us and our families and on down the line. You will see that Jeroboam didn’t believe the promises God gave him and instead, because of his fear and insecurity and his unbelief in what the Lord had promised, he lost everything. He could have had a kingdom like that of David’s according to what God had promised! Just because we have a promise from God isn’t a guarantee it will come to pass! God’s promises are conditional on our responses to them. What a lesson for us today! The cost of fear in Jeroboam’s life was his family line and kingdom. We must never make a decision based in fear. Romans 14:23 says that whatever does not proceed from faith is sin! Any fear is a manifestation of a lack of the revelation of love in that area. Our actions stem from either love or fear. We can combat this by learning to live before an audience of one. We must foster our relationship with the Lord and not let things we do for him, replace the time with him. Join me today in this thought provoking lesson from 1 Kings.
We are continuing our study today of the kings of Israel. We left off with Solomon and now we are at Rehoboam his son. This is an interesting time because it is a turning point in the nation of Israel and from this point forward things become steadily worse. You may wonder why we look back at the kings of old, especially the evil ones. They were put in the Bible for us to study and learn from. Looking at them helps us see what they did wrong and where the cracks came in their foundation, and that way, we know what to avoid. Secondly, studying the kings helps us look for the sound decisions they made and the good they did so we can emulate them in those areas. It also helps us learn from their mistakes. I think the biggest lesson to take from Rehoboam’s story is that we all have moments in our own life when the decisions we make can significantly impact us, our future, our children and their future. The key is to prepare our hearts before hard times by spending time with Father in worship and building a relationship with Him. That way, when the hard times come, we can clearly hear Him and how to respond. Join me today!
You are in for a treat today! Join me as Kathy teaches you about Hebrew weddings, the history and how they correlate with our understanding of scriptures today. This is a foundational lesson, the first of several you don’t want to miss! You will learn the process, rules and customs of a Hebrew marriage and you will be able to begin to see how Jesus, Holy Spirit and the Father fit into all of this! If you will learn even the basics of Hebrew culture it will bring a whole new light on the scriptures and give new meaning to many things Jesus said and did. After all…he came as a Hebrew man and lived in a Hebrew culture. We as a church are called the bride of Christ. This teaching, along with subsequent ones , will open up that concept in new ways. I’m excited for you to hear this teaching, so let’s get started today!
Just what is the by-product of wisdom? How do you get it? Why is it so important to have? You will get the answers in this eye-opening conclusion to the teaching on the by-product of wisdom. Not only riches and wealth and honor are contained in wisdom, but discernment as well. Without discernment, well…we end up right where we’re at today. We have ungodly leaders and churches closing and pastors slipping into sin at an unprecedented rate. This is why wisdom is so important. It is a process of walking out what God tells us one step at a time. This requires us to foster a relationship with him and to hear his voice. Solomon was the wisest man on earth at that time. What happened? Why did Solomon see a reversal of all he had in the end? He did not live up to the revelation that he possessed. He turned from the ways of God and all he knew to do and chose to disobey. He began to worship other God’s and his vision became distorted or lost. It’s a sad end and a lesson for us today. We can avoid this happening in our lives and country if we will not only renew our mind and search for wisdom, but do what the Lord tells us step by step!
Today you and I are going to go over the 22 year reign of Ahab. Sadly, he was more evil than all the kings before him. His wife, Jezebel was infamous for being evil also. You will learn that 4 signs of a “jezebel” today are, 1. She teaches false doctrine. 2. She is a manipulator. 3. She uses seduction to get what she wants. And 4, she gains a click in opposition to a leader and gains authority in this way. Today, her name is synonymous with being unfaithful and a wicked women. What a legacy to leave! An exciting part of today is a revelation of why Elijah was sent to the widow woman. You will see how relevant this revelation is in helping us today when we are in a tough situation. Next week we will dive deeper into Elijah and Elisha so you don’t want to miss out! Today is packed with so much information, you will definitely want to get the print out and go over it several times. Enjoy!
We are going to delve deeper into wisdom and the benefits of it. Wisdom will bring wealth and open the door for us to influence others around us, and eventually nations, as we see the Solomon did. Jesus is Wisdom and lives inside us, therefore, you and I should be the wisest people on earth! I want to be on the road to ever-increasing wisdom in my finances, health and my relationships with God and others! How about you? This isn’t a passive “wait and see” type of thing. It’s responding to wisdom’s voice and doing what he tells you. Do you think you don’t hear him? Has he told you to eat differently? Exercise? Here is one he told me that I didn't do at first. Turn the TV off. That’s wisdom. As you and I respond to his voice, he will tell us more! It’s an ever-increasing path that leads to glory! Wisdom leads to honor, and the word for honor is glory! This is just the beginning of this teaching and it’s part one of a series you don’t want to miss.
Solomon’s reign and wisdom was so well known and tied to the glory of God, that the Queen of Sheba herself traveled to speak with him. Solomon walked in such wisdom from God there was nothing he couldn’t answer and explain to her through the wisdom of the Holy Spirit! He had every answer she needed! It should be the same with you and I today, especially under the new covenant where Holy Spirit himself resides in us! You should be able to call on wisdom to solve complex issues on all seven mountains! You should be walking in the wisdom of God so much as to astonish the world! They should be coming to us to solve the problems that they can’t! True wisdom can only come through the presence of God on display in our lives! True wisdom will naturally bring wealth, not just riches. Wealth is relative to each person differently. What to one is abundance, may be nothing to another. Your wealth needs to have a kingdom assignment placed on it! There is too much to summarize, so dive into this study today! You will need to go over it more than once! Also, pay close attention to the beginning section, as there is a word from the Lord concerning humility and honor that is not in the notes. It’s imperative not to miss! Enjoy!
Let’s look today at how David desired to build the Lord a house. The Father had not requested it of David, he just decided that since he had a nice home, the Father should have one also! The Lord, in his infinite grace and love, stated that he would make for David a “house”. He was establishing David’s kingdom and throne forever! Find out why David couldn’t be the one to build the Lord his house, even though it was his idea. Discover the meaning of the word “house” and see the dual nature of some of the prophecies spoken to Nathan for David. Enjoy this teaching today and learn a little more about the nature of our God through it.
Today we are going to look in depth at the kingdom of Solomon and see how it was the closest to the original intent of Father. His kingdom was a picture of heaven on earth! Solomon lead his people in wisdom which allowed his people to work, have plenty, enjoy their families and live happily and safely. If Solomon, under the old covenant, could do that, then imagine what we should be able to do now under the new covenant! The aspects of wisdom are doing what you don’t need to or want to do before you need to do it! It manifests itself as skill, experience and shrewdness. It’s a technical ability and it builds and prospers. It is coupled with prudence and discretion. The greatest result of wisdom is that there is no adversary (Satan) or misfortune! When we make decisions outside of wisdom we will get bad results and even blame the enemy when, many times it is our own choices that have brought the negative results! Dive into this study with me today!
