2 Kings 23-25

What God said to me – “I AM” patient when it comes to judgment.  I give time for repentance, but when it is time, no amount of repentance will forestall My judgment.  Josiah turned to Me like no other king before him and renewed My covenant before the people.  While the revival that happened in Judah did not forestall the judgment of captivity in Babylon, it did prepare them to endure faithfully during their difficult trial.  Remember that as judgment approaches the world.  Be faithful to share and live faithfully and consistently for Me.  There are those who can still be reached before judgment comes and there are those who will remember once judgment comes and turn to Me for help.  Live for Me before the world and trust Me to use your faithful witness for My glory.

2 Kings 20-22

What God said to me – Remember what I said to Hezekiah – “I have heard your prayer and I have seen your tears”.  I know you don’t always believe it when you pray and pray about something and it seems no answer is ever coming, but I always hear your prayer. I know your hurts and your broken heart.  You must remember My timing is perfect and “I AM” working even when you don’t see it.  Cling to this truth and trust in Me to answer in the best way, in the best time.  Your good and My glory is the goal, but you must be diligent and faithful.  I will ultimately accomplish My purpose, but if you give up you will miss the joy that comes from experiencing answered prayer.  Be diligent and faithful.

2 Kings 18-19

What God said to me – The leaders of nations rage thinking they are in control.  They neither know Me nor know My ways.  I use them to accomplish My purposes whether for judgment or to move the world closer to My kingdom coming.  They have no idea that “I AM” using them and in their pride, they trust in themselves, but they will ultimately fail.  During these times of uncertainty and upheaval, cling to Me.  Do not depart from following Me.  Be like Hezekiah and lay everything before Me.  Seek Me and My direction.  Turn to Me for understanding and discernment.  I will open your eyes to see My hand at work.  I will give you peace in the midst of all of the turmoil and I will give you hope as you see Me at work.
