We look again today at an evil king. You will see the end of the kingdom of Israel today. The enemies of Israel, the Assyrians, take over the land and lions begin to attack them. Because of this, the Assyrians assume that the god of the land must be angry, so they get one of the priests of Israel to go back and dwell there and teach the Assyrians about the laws of God, which the Israelites did not keep! Astounding that the pagans had enough sense to recognize the need to learn the law of the god of the land! This is the epitome of foolishness with the people of God! They are driven from the land because of no fear of the Lord and wickedness and idolatry and people who do not know God recognize the need to learn how to fear Him! We see this pattern over and over even during Jesus’ time where it was the heathen, the pagan not the religious that responded and served the Lord when His own people did not. We may be in a time similar to that today. To know God and yet not become like Him is the height of folly. Let’s not be duplicitous and seek a relationship rather than religion.
Today we continue with Kings! You will look at an extremely wicked king and probably wonder how he could do the things he did. While there were many evil kings, King Ahaz was especially so. He offered his son as an offering to false gods! Repentance could have turned him around, but he refused. God even told him through the prophet Isaiah to ask him for any sign to help him out of the mess he was in, and Ahaz refused the Lord! God all but begged Ahaz to turn to him and he just wouldn’t. He was offended and fearful and made bad decisions because of that. He didn’t have confidence in God or that he would have delivered him even after the prophet was sent to reassure him. This king was so evil he wasn’t even buried with the kings after he died. Join me today for a sad story that didn’t have to turn out the way it did.
Today you will learn an extremely important lesson. King Uzziah is our leper king and he began his reign admirably. Unfortunately, he grew proud because of his success. We would all do well to remember that wisdom is seen in remaining humble in the midst of success, fame, and glory. A humble heart will hear God’s voice despite how it is delivered to you. Every single page of the Bible has a purpose and lesson. You and I need to remember not to grow prideful and let our strengths become over-extended to weaknesses. Learning to live before an audience of One is probably the wisest thing we will ever learn. Join me today for this thought provoking look into the life of King Uzziah.
Continuing today, we will see more of the line of Ahab and Jezebel being systematically wiped out according to the word of the Lord. The evil that his descendants did was like a cancer that kept spreading, which is why the Lord needed to have them wiped out. Today you’ll see the long-suffering and goodness of God, as He forgives over and over, even when they returned to doing evil. One time, after God had saved them once again from their enemies, instead of worshipping and thanking God, Amaziah worshipped the gods of the losers! What an insult! The only reason God didn’t wipe out Israel completely was because He said He would never do that, and He always keeps His word! Make sure you listen today through because at the end there’s a bonus! A message from Kathy from the Lord about the meaning of the phrase, “It is finished!” Also about our warrior cry and the importance of it! Don’t miss this!
We are continuing with Kings today and taking a closer look at the last descendants of Jezebel. We know that she is synonymous today for an evil and power hungry woman. But what are the criteria of a “jezebel” and how will you recognize her? Contrary to popular belief, it isn’t just a strong-willed woman in charge! You’ll learn the traits of a “jezebel” and how to recognize her. Discernment is needed in today’s church. You will hear how unsanctified mercy and what Christians do under the banner of “walking in love” has allowed these women to continue with their destruction in the churches. We as Christians, need to wake up and take back what is rightfully ours, including our country. We are the hope for the change that our country and world needs. If we do nothing, it is basically agreeing that nothing needs to be done. Listen to this thought provoking lesson with me today.
Today, we are going to delve into the judgment God foretold for Ahab’s family line. One thing is crucial in understanding God’s judgements against someone is that He takes no pleasure at all in destruction and death. Death is an enemy to be conquered in God’s eyes. It’s also important to understand that a decree of “anathema” or one devoted to destruction, removes all protection from God and then delivers a person to the enemy who has the jurisdiction of death and destruction. There is no destruction, death or evil in God. Destruction comes because of peoples choices and the execution of the destruction and destroying of people, always comes through Satan. A lesson to take away from our study today, is to stay humble, deal with things that God shows you or wrong attitudes and motives quickly. That way, you will be prepared for the future God has for you and can cooperate with Holy Spirit to bring about God’s plan for your life and those of your family!
Today, we are continuing with the Kings and will learn several lessons from them. We’ll go with Elisha and Gehazi (again) and visit Ben Hadad and Hazael. One lesson to catch here is sometimes you must decree the judgements of the Lord, which can be emotionally tough. Continuing with history, you’ll notice the faithfulness of God over and over to His word. Sometimes God calls on us to intercede and change things, but there are times when God’s word cannot be changed and the events will happen that was foretold, and nothing can stop them. One thing is sure, God is faithful even when we are not. We must learn to hear Holy Spirit and remain flexible and adaptable to His voice and what He asks us to do. The consequences of not hearing correctly can be devastating. Listen today!
I’m excited for you to hear this message! It’s so practical for us as a body of believers today. You’ll see in the lesson today, through the prophetic, Elisha gives a supernatural solution using the wisdom of God. The prophetic is not some mystical pie in the sky theory. It is available for ALL Christians to be used today! It is meant to be used to solve problems, be practical in its application, and give answers and direction to leaders! We should be impacting nations with our prophetic ability and causing people to seek us out for answers, not psychics or astrology! Elisha used this wisdom to solve problems in the Old Testament, how much more in the New Testament should we all, as kings and priests unto the Lord? Join me for this impactful message today!
Today you are going to look at Naaman, the commander of the army in Syria. You will learn true versus false humility. As you follow Naaman on his journey for healing, you will see that he had to learn to be humble to receive from the Lord. The first act of humility is obedience to whatever God tells you to do. God is attracted to humility and as Rick Joyner says, “God will often offend us to test our hearts.” He did that in this situation. Naaman learned humility and received healing from the Lord. Also, you will see the comparison of Gehazi an Israelite, and Naaman a Syrian. Gehazi was prideful and greedy and ended up with the leprosy Naaman was cured from because of his pride. There are many lessons to be taken from this story, so join me for this information packed teaching today!
You are in for a treat with this message! You are going to learn about Elisha and how he became the solution to one woman’s financial hardship and fulfilled another’s lifelong dream! Prophets should not only have an encouraging word today, but be able to solve problems not only within the walls of the church, but also in society. Prophets and prophetic people should be beneficial to their local cities, businesses, families and surrounding communities, making them indespesable to the world around them. You will see that often the answer to your problem is something you already have. Jesus gives us a prophetic picture of a man living in right relationship with God and with the power of the Holy Spirit, we can actually now live in the same way! Elisha and Jesus are examples for us to follow. Ask yourself, “Am I humbly cooperating with Holy Spirit in my gifting to positively impact and influence those around me?” The importance of you fulfilling your call cannot be emphasized enough.
