Today's reading will cover 2 Kings Chapter 20:12-20, 2 Chronicles Chapter 32:27-33, Isaiah Chapters 40 and 41:8-16. Today we will read about the end of Hezekiah's reign as king of Judah and how he showed all of his riches to Babylon. We will read Isaiah tell Hezekiah that Babylon will one day take all of Judah's riches and some of Hezekiah's family. Most importantly, we will be reading and learning about who God is today! God delights in us knowing who He is. Just like we enjoy someone knowing who WE are and doing something for us just the way we like it or bringing food the way we like it prepared, God delights in us knowing who He is and doing things the way HE likes them to be done! Today we will learn that God's Word will last forever. He is not like people, who are as temporary as grass or flowers. God (and Jesus!) are like a shepherd taking care of his sheep. Jesus himself told us that HE is that good shepherd! He holds little lambs in his arms and carefully leads mothers who have children (sheep who have babies.) God is CAREFUL with us. There is no other like God! Who taught Him to be who He is? No one. No one will ever know just HOW MUCH He understands! God never gets tired. He never sleeps or takes naps or misses anything that happens. He knows everything that happens. He sees everything, even YOU, right here reading this description. God holds our right hand and tells us not be scared; He will help us Himself. He will save us. He is our Holy One. And guess what? YOU will have His joy! His great power will shine in YOU with His Holy Spirit!

Today's reading comes to us from 2 Kings Chapter 19 and 20:1-11 and Isaiah Chapter 37 and 38:1-20.  Today we will read about King Hezekiah of Judah praying to God and asking Him to defend His holy name against the insults of the king of Assyria. We will hear about God's answer, that because King Hezekiah prayed to God, God will send the rude and lying king back to his own country and that He will defend His people. God then sent His Angel (Jesus!) to kill 185,000 army men of Assyria! God is so awesome!!! We will then see King Hezekiah facing terminal illness and Isaiah telling him that God has said Hezekiah will die. We will see King Hezekiah pray to God, asking God to remember that he has always tried to do what is right. God answered Hezekiah's prayer and sent Isaiah back to Hezekiah to deliver the message as well as a sign- God would turn back the clock by 10 hours, at Hezekiah's choice. We will see Hezekiah giving glory to God for healing him and in his wisdom giving glory to God for allowing him to go through the experience, since going through the trouble was for Hezekiah's benefit! In our discussion for daily application we will talk about God letting us go through our own troubles for our own benefit, as well, and that God wants us to come to Him to ask Him for His help. It was because Hezekiah prayed that God granted his requests. We need to be sure and take EVERYTHING to the Lord in prayer and look at the troubles we are going through with a positive eye, acknowledging that God is going to work good into everything, even though it looks bad. Our God is so loving, gracious, kind, and giving. He wants us to come to Him. How many times have we missed out on God answering a prayer because we simply did pray? Let's bring everything to God! He WANTS us to!

Today's reading comes to us from 2 Kings Chapter 18:13-37; 2 Chronicles 32:1-9, and Isaiah Chapter 36. Today we will read about the Assyrians trying to take over Judah. We will see King Hezekiah first try to pay them to keep them from attacking, but the Assyrians just took the payment and came back anyway. Then we will see King Hezekiah look to God and the Assyrian leaders trying to use scare tactics to discourage the people of Judah and try to scare them into surrendering. In our discussion for daily application we will talk about standing firm in what we believe and not letting the enemy discourage us from having faith in God. We will also talk about how one of the tactics of our enemy is to distort the truth, such as the Assyrian leaders did by claiming that God told them to get rid of their land. It was true that God said the Assyrians would come in and take possession of the land, but God has been abundantly clear that He will preserve a remnant of people and that a king from David's throne will once again reign. We will talk about Jesus' teaching that no one can add a day to their lives by worrying, and that despite things looking grim or improbable, we need to have faith in God and trust in Him, standing firm in what we believe.

Today we will read 2 Kings Chapter 17. We will read about nation of Israel being taken over by Assyria and taken away as captives. We will read that God tried very hard to get His people to stop doing wrong and worshipping idols but their hearts were hard and they did not obey. In our discussion for daily application we will read from Hebrews and Revelation to see that even though we are forgiven for our sins God still has expectations for us. We are not to continue to live in sin or it will have the effect of hardening our hearts, the same way the Israelites' hearts were hardened by their continuous sin. We will read in Revelation that God still takes worship of false gods seriously and that we are not to worship false gods such as Buddha, or Hinduism or look to the stars for our horoscopes to know the future. We are called to be holy, set apart from the world and be God's people. God disciplines those whom He loves, and He loves us, so He WILL discipline us if we are disobedient to Him, just like we read about today.

My internet cut out just at the end of part 1 and I was unable to combine a second video to make a conclusion because the first video was too long for my free editing software. So this is just a conclusion to the first video. Nothing extensive. Thank you for understanding. 

Robin

Hi there everyone! My internet cut out and so my recording cut off right at the very end. I have been unable to splice 2 videos together because this one is too long for my free programs. :\ . So if you don't mind, check out the closing statement in PART TWO, in the next session posted. Sorry about that! I tried REALLY HARD to get those two videos put together but I just couldn't get it done!  Thank you for your grace. :D

Hello fellow brothers and sisters in Christ! Chances are, as a Christian, you have never heard of the Biblical holiday Shavuot. If you have heard of it you probably think it's just a Jewish holiday and it doesn't apply to you. I'm here to explain that the Christian church has done us a big disservice by essentially divorcing itself from the Jewish faith and creating a separate religion for Gentile believers in Jesus. This is not what Jesus intended for us. The time of Shavuot in the Old Covenant was, like Passover, the Feast of First Fruits, the counting of the omer, and the Feast of Booths, intended by God to foreshadow things to come.  Jesus taught us that He came to fulfill the Law, not abolish it. Join me as I explain the significance of Shavuot and why you, as a believer in Jesus as your Messiah, should observe Shavuot as well as encourage the Christian church as a whole to incorporate observance of these appointed times into worship, as commanded by God himself. 

This video is a call to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to REVIVAL. Historically in the Bible God brings REVIVAL when His people come to Him with REPENTANCE, REFORMATION and RESTORATION. The definition of repentance is to be sorry for doing wrong. The definition of reformation is the act of changing to a better state; the correction of bad behavior. The definition of restoration is a return of something to a former, original, unimpaired condition. As followers of Jesus we are taught to pray for God's will to be done rather than our own. As a Christian community we need to REFORM our worship- return to God together and obey Him by worshipping Him when He told us to- on the Sabbath, which God said is the seventh day of the week- Saturday, not Sunday, as well as RESTORE observance of His appointed times- three festivals a year. If the Christian church is truly committed to Revival then it is essential that we follow God's Biblical formula: Repentance + Reformation + Restoration = Revival.

Thank you for joining me as we learn about the connection between  Passover, First Fruits, Shavuot (pronounced shav-oo-oat) and Pentecost. 

We are on the 49th day of the counting of the omer!!! Shavuot is tomorrow and I am encouraging EVERYONE to take the day off from work and observe the day as God commanded- a Sabbath day. God gifts us with an extra day of rest! How gracious is our God?! I don't know about YOU, but I can sure use another day of rest this week!

Today we will read in the Book of Isaiah, Chapters 29:13-21, Chapter 30:1-7, 15-24, Chapter 33:2-6, 10, 17, 20-21, and 24, and Chapter 35. We will read about God being disappointed in the His people worshipping Him with their mouths, but not their hearts. We will read prophecy about Jesus- how people would see the beautiful King with their own eyes and how God would forgive people's sins. We will be encouraged to tell others not to be afraid, because God will save them. We will be given a glimpse into the beautiful Heaven with a road that only those saved by God will be able to travel. In our discussion for daily application we will talk about worshipping God with our hearts, rather than just with our mouths. It is important that we are following and loving God with our whole hearts, not just following man made rules and thinking that makes God happy. God tells us today to stop doing wrong. Start doing what is right. Be quiet and trust in Him. Rest. That is what will make us strong. God wants us to look forward to the day of rest He has gifted us with. He leads us by His own examples, showing us that He will provide enough for us to last on the day of rest, such as when He provided manna from heaven for six days and none on the seventh. The people were to gather enough on the sixth day to last them for the next day. On the sixth day God sent EXTRA manna to provide for them. Only on the sixth day would manna that was gathered for storing for use on the next day  keep fresh and not rot. All other days any extra manna gathered would rot! God was teaching His people to trust in Him for daily provision as well as provision for the Sabbath day. It is important that we observe God's days of rest for us. Shavuot is tomorrow and it is given to us as an extra day of rest! Let's honor and respect God's gift by observing it.

Thank you for joining me as we learn about the connection between  Passover, First Fruits, Shavuot (pronounced shav-oo-oat) and Pentecost.  As part of understanding and observing the festivals that God has appointed for us to observe, we count the Omer (pronounced oh-mare)  today and then have our daily Bible reading session!

We are on the 48th day of the counting of the omer!!! Shavuot is on Monday and I am encouraging EVERYONE to take the day off from work and observe the day as God commanded- a Sabbath day. God gifts us with an extra day of rest! How gracious is our God?! I don't know about YOU, but I can sure use another day of rest this week!

Today we will read 2 Chronicles Chapters 30-31 and Isaiah Chapters 25:1-9 and 26:1-13. Today we will read about obedient King Hezekiah who encouraged all Israelites to participate in the observance of the Passover festival after restoring the temple to it's former glory. I will share my own personal testimony about how I identify with King Hezekiah as I encourage all of you to participate in observing God's appointed days- Passover, the counting of the omer, Shavuot, and later this year, the feast of Booths (Sukkot). Like Hezekiah, I am encouraging REVIVAL for my Christian brothers and sisters in Christy by advocating for RESTORATION of obedience in observing God's appointed festivals by the Christian church, REFORMATION by Christian churches to return the Sabbath day to Saturday, rather than the church appointed day of Sunday. Historically in the Bible we see revival happen when God's people return to Him! Like King Hezekiah and John the Baptist, I am calling God's people to return to Him, for He is returning to us, and signs are happening in the world TODAY according to what was prophesied in Isaiah long ago, that tell us that Jesus' return is closer than ever! 

We will also read prophecy in Isaiah about what God would do for us- and did! God promised to tear down the FEAR of death ad well as get rid of death itself, forever. Jesus fulfilled this promise when He willingly chose to die on the cross for our sins! God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him WILL NOT DIE, BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE!! Jesus paid the price for your sins and my sins because He loves us, and when He did so, He took away death! 

We have a lot to discuss today, and in our discussion for daily application we will talk about being Godly examples for everyone around us. When people see bad examples, they follow those examples. When people see good examples, they follow those examples, as we have seen with the kings of Judah and Israel. Let us be good witnesses and examples for God by obeying God like Hezekiah did and trusting in God no matter what, so that we can lead others to obey God, rather than disobey God.

We are so close to Shavuot! We are just three days away! Today we will talk about the importance of returning to God's commandments and observing Shavuot, which takes place in just a couple of days. We will talk about Shavuot being a day of outpouring of God's Spirit and a High Holy Day, like the Sabbath, and how we are meant to observe it by having a day of rest. 

Today's reading comes to us from 2 Kings Chapter 18:1-7, 2 Chronicles Chapter 29, and the Book of Isaiah, Chapters 12-15, 13:1-3, 14: 3-5, 14:24-25,19-23, and 28-30. Today we will read about God bringing down "the beautiful jewel of the kingdoms," Babylon. We will read about Satan being seen falling from heaven, who used to be like a morning star, like a son of the dawn, but now thrown down onto the Earth because he tried to be higher than God. We will read about the great king, Hezekiah of Judah, of whom there was no ruler in Judah as dedicated to God, either before him or after! We will read about King Hezekiah restoring God's temple and God's commandments. We will read the trust that Hezekiah had in God, how he obeyed all of God's commands, and that as a result God was with him, prospering him in everything he did! Everything Hezekiah did turned out right!! In our discussion for daily application we will talk about the importance of observing God's commandments, even though, as in Hezekiah's time, they were given to us a very long time ago. They are still God's commands and need to be observed and obeyed. Like Hezekiah, we need to have repentance for not obeying God's commands and appointed festivals. We need to have reformation, and choose to obey God's commands and observe His appointed festivals immediately, and like in Hezekiah's time, if we are faithful to obey God He will bring us REVIVAL! We are SO CLOSE TO SHAVUOT! This message is so timely! God wants to bring an outpouring of His Spirit on us this Shavuot! Let us prayerfully come to God in obedience and faithfulness during this holy time and be blessed with an outpouring of God's Spirit! As with Hezekiah, God will be with us if we are faithful and obedient to Him! Everything we do will prosper, just like with Hezekiah! Don't we pray for prosperity? Then the way to achieve it is to obey God, be faithful to Him and observe His holy appointed festivals as well as His commandments, such as loving one another the way God loves us. I have prayed for you, who is listening or watching this event, that there will be a great outpouring in obedience to God, that He will accomplish for His glory a great time of repentance and reformation, that God will bring REVIVAL to the body of Christ during this holy time. Amen.

Today's reading covers Isaiah Chapters 11-12, 2 Chronicles 28, and 2 Kings Chapter 16:9-20. Today we will read about the terrible way that King Ahaz behaved by not obeying God and leading the people of Judah to sin. We will read about God sending many nations to conquer Judah, including Israel, to take over the land and carry off the people living there because of their sin of idol worship. We will also read prophecy about the coming of Jesus and see that he would be filled with God's Spirit, who knows and looks up to God. We will see that the Messiah would be glad to make God the most important one. In our discussion for daily application we will talk about being glad to make God the most important one in OUR lives. We will talk about how we need to represent God well because we are His children, set apart by His commandments, called to be His witnesses, and we don't want to lead other people astray, especially other believers! Jesus taught us that it is better for a person to have a millstone tied to their neck and drown in the sea than it is for a person to lead even ONE of HIS people astray!  We need to be mindful of making sure we are obeying God and providing a good example for others so that people may be led TO Jesus, not AWAY.
