When Do We Begin?

The Best of the Feast Jun. 10, 2016 – 2 Chronicles 36 When Do We Begin? clic aquí en español   Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,     and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.”  Proverbs 9:10, English Standard Version (ESV). Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site   Dear Saints,   Today we prayerfully continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 36.   Today we witness the step by step destruction of Jerusalem.   The evil one enters in with his sin slowly so that God’s people are not shocked. Jehoahaz reigned three months before the king of Egypt over threw him and begin taxing God’s people. The king of Egypt put Eliakim on the throne. Neco took Jehoahaz his brother to Egypt.  Jehoiakim (AKA Eliakim) did what was evil to his God. Jehoiachin his son reigned three months and ten days. He was insolent to God. Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem followed suite stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against the God of Israel. God had compassion on his people, persistently sending his word. The people remained stiff necked and mocked God. The king of the Chaldeans captured and burned Jerusalem.  He sacked the city and those he didn’t kill he took as slaves. The proclamation of Cyrus;   “22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also put it in writing: 23 “Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever is among you of all his people, may the Lord his God be with him. Let him go up.’”” 2 Chronicles 36:22-23, ESV.  God showed patience and gave his people many chances to repent and turn to Him before he allowed the destruction of Jerusalem.  They were turned against God by degree.  It was not all at once.  Saints look at our nations; television of today wouldn’t have been stood for thirty years ago.  I point to TV because it is a good barometer showing how Satan crept in degenerating slowly year after year.  Look at our politicians; passing legislation to condone sin and promiscuous acts, by changing our laws slowly year after year.  Who will step up and champion Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit, in the changeless face of sin?  It’s time to put your beliefs on the line.  It’s time we take a stand against sin and for God.  Where do we start?  I think we need to earnestly turn to God in prayer. “14 if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14, ESV. And we need to follow through living Christ centered lives.  Full filling our purposes to God through Jesus; “25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.” Hebrews 7:25, ESV.  Through Jesus we can live without sin, with a purpose.  Saints you and I are charged with sharing Jesus with the world until He comes for us (see Matthew 28:18-20). Mankind is ripe for harvest!  If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.   Do you feel that Jesus is reaching out to you?  If the answer is yes please click the following link;  admenu.com/calling.html.     God Bless You, Brother Mike   Links That Inspire me |Click Here| http: //www.admenu.com https://admenu.wordpress.com
