A look at the 10 commandments as repeated in the New Testament. The 4th commandment is not there, but neither is it abrogated. What says the Spirit?

Micaiah was a prophet who would ONLY say what God said to say - even when he was told to say otherwise. God give us MANY who will be like Micaiah in our day!

The sermon emphasizes the urgent necessity of personal and corporate holiness as the prerequisite for genuine revival and the rapture. Drawing primarily from Isaiah 64, the speaker contrasts modern superficial Christianity with the profound awe, brokenness, and weeping exhibited by biblical prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah. The text argues that true spiritual power comes not from emotional manipulation or entertainment but from a deep reverence for God's holiness and submission to His will. It critiques contemporary evangelism for focusing on forgiveness without transformation and calls for a return to fasting, prayer, and sincere repentance. Ultimately, the message asserts that only through the consuming fire of the Holy Spirit can the church be purified and effectively witness to a lost world.

The devotional centers on the reality that faithful obedience to God's call often invites opposition, even from well-meaning believers and respected Christian leaders. Drawing from Peter's experience in Acts 11 and personal testimonies of stepping into uncertain ministries, it emphasizes that divine direction may require leaving security, facing criticism, and enduring isolation. The speaker underscores that such resistance, while painful, can refine one's conviction when met with prayerful discernment and a commitment to God's approval over human approval. Through examples from biblical figures like Paul, William Carey, and Jesus Himself, the message affirms that true faithfulness involves trusting God's leading even when it defies conventional wisdom. Ultimately, the call is to persevere in obedience, grounded in Scripture and personal conviction, knowing that God's blessing far outweighs the cost of worldly or familial approval.

Trusting God in hard times means relying on His character and promises even when circumstances are unclear. In this episode, Dave Jenkins considers Proverbs 3:5–6 and Psalm 56:3, explaining how Christians can release the need to control every outcome, continue obeying God's Word, and grow in trust through trials.
