When do we begin?
April 26, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 36
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 English Standard Version (ESV). God showed patience and gave his people many
chances to repent and turned 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 sixty 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. “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; “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!

“To
them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of
the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we
proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may
present everyone mature in Christ.” Colossians 1:27-28 ESV

April 25, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 35
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue to Feast
in 2 Chronicles 35. In order to please God The Passover
kept by Josiah. Once again we see God
supply the means for what He requires. God leads him to make sure at everyone in
his kingdom has what they needed for the Passover. Doesn’t Josiah hear the word from God? Because he doesn’t he is slain in battle. “22
Nevertheless, Josiah did not turn away from him, but disguised himself in
order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the
mouth of God, but came to fight in the plain of Megiddo. 23 And the archers
shot King Josiah. And the king said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am
badly wounded.”” 2 Chronicles 35:22-23 English Standard Version (ESV).
This King Josiah even though he serves
God, he doesn’t wait on God. Why did
he disguise himself to hide from Neco or God? No matter why he disguised himself, he is
slain in the battle because you can’t disobey or hide from God. “To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches
of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him
we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we
may present everyone mature in Christ.” Colossians 1:27-28 ESV When we
take communion it is much like the Passover in form (see Luke 22:18-20). Though we are living to please our Lord and
Savior Jesus we need to wait on and listen to the Holy Spirit, who brings all
things to our remembrance; “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have
said to you.” John 14:26 ESV.
Be sure to put all things through the test by holding them up to the
Word of God. If you faithful to love
and follow Jesus and conduct yourself according to His purpose you will prosper
in all things (see Romans 8:27-29).

that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers,
not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious
blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.” 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV

What may we find in the bible?
April 24, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 34
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue to Feast
in 2 Chronicles 34 The bible (The Word of god) tells about the
good reign of Josiah in Judah. We see
early on that he set out trying serve God by knocking down high places and
smashing Idols to dust. Then as he put
his people to repair the temple the book that contained God’s law was found. It
was red t Josiah and that’s when he found out what God really wanted. “31 And the king stood in his place and made a
covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord and to keep his commandments
and his testimonies and his statutes, with all his heart and all his soul, to
perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book. 32 Then he
made all who were present in Jerusalem and in Benjamin join in it. And the
inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of
their fathers.” 2 Chronicles 34:31-32 English Standard Version (ESV). Most people don’t read the bible (The Word
of god) until after they are saved. That’s why many of them think that if you
act good God will save them. The Word of God tells us what God really wants. “knowing that you were ransomed
from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable
things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like
that of a lamb without blemish or spot.” 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV He
wants us to know that Jesus already paid the full price for all of our sin before
we even sinned. He wants us to have a
personal relationship with him (see Revelation 3:19-21). He wants us to love him with all our hearts (see
Matthew 22:36-40). And because he is not willing that any
should perish he wants us to share God’s love with the whole world (see
Matthew 28:19). That’s right we are really saved to a
Jesus centered life, a purpose filled life!
