2 Kings 17:1-18:12, Acts 20, Psalms 148:1-14, Proverbs 18:6-7

What God said to me – The history of Israel should be a cautionary tale to society today.  Judgment fell because they rejected My Law and My Covenant and all of My warnings and they followed vanity and became vain.  Vanity actually has two meanings – one is to be conceited and prideful and full of oneself and the other is to be empty and worthless.  One leads to the other.  When you fill up your life with yourself, you will eventually become empty, like a glass with a hole in the bottom.  You were not made to worship anything or anyone but Me, least of all yourself.   The only way for you to live a full and fulfilling life is for you to quit trying to fill it yourself and allow Me, the Living Water, to fill you.  Israel even tried to straddle both worlds by saying they feared Me but still worshipped idols.  However it doesn’t work that way – it can’t.  “I AM” a jealous God.  You must be wholly devoted to Me.  Choose you each day, each moment who you will serve.

2 Kings 15-16, Acts 19:13-41, Psalms 147:1-20, Proverbs 18:4-5

What God said to me – Judgment is a terrible thing.  Because of My love and My desire that people should come to repentance, I hold off judgment.  “I AM” patient and desire all to come to repentance, and yet few take advantage of My mercy.  They think that My withholding My hand means judgment will never come.  That couldn’t be further from the truth.  The world is at the brink.  I will not hold back for much longer. All that I have said, I will do.  The time is short for repentance.  Tell them.

2 Kings 13-14, Acts 18:23-19:12, Psalms 146:1-10, Proverbs 18:2-3

What God said to me – Depending on who you listen to it is being said that the President is either destroying the country or restoring the country.  What you need to remember is that no matter who is currently in power, I put them there to accomplish My purpose and to carry out My plan.  Look at Jehu – he was a brash, uncouth, ungodly man but as King of Israel, I used him to carry out My judgment of Jezebel and of Ahab’s descendants, and to destroy Baal worship in Israel.  He never followed Me wholeheartedly, but I still used him for My purposes.  Your trust is not to be in “princes” because they are just men – your trust is to be in “the Prince of Peace”.  Whether “I AM” bringing judgment on your nation or revival to your nation, your responsibility is the same – to pray that My will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and to live a godly life before all men.  Either way you are blessed because your help and your hope is in Me.
