Just Before Viewing This, Holy Spirit Had Me Read 1 Kings 13; Eileen Fisher: Grace and the Battle for Truth

Eileen Fisher: Grace and the Battle for Truth
Before I went to this site and read the prophetic message I was prompted to read 1Kings 13 and a portion of 14 also. This goes to show you that even one prophet against another can cause the one prophet to doubt the word of the Lord and disobey the word given in instruction to follow through with. How many of you have had a word from the Lord in direction in your life or to do or not do something? I am going to share with you the scripture I am referencing. Here is the scenario...a prophet brings forth a word form the Lord it is fulfilled and the king invites the prophet to come home with him, have something to eat and he was going to give him a gift. The prophet replied that even if the king gave him half of his palace he would never to with him to eat or drink. He shared that when the Lord spoke to him he commanded him to not eat or drink or back on the same road he took. The prophet left on another road and did not go back on the road he had taken. He was honoring the word of God that He commanded of him and was doing fine so far until an old prophet in Bethel heard through his sons about what the prophet did in Bethel that day and the exact words he shared with the king also. The old prophet was now on a mission of his own, to find this prophet, and that he did. He found him sitting under a tree and asked him if he was the man of God who came from Judah. The prophet responded yes to him. The old prophet then bid him to come home with him and eat a meal. The prophet told him he was not allowed to go back with him or eat and drink with him either. The old prophet then lied to him and told him that he was also a prophet like him and that an angel spoke the word of the Lord to him and told him to bring him back home so he may have something to eat and drink. In my bible it states that the old prophet was lying. The prophet went back with the old prophet and ate and drank in his home. When they were at the table the Lord spoke his word to the old prophet to speak to the prophet. This is what he spoke, "You rebelled against the words from the Lord's mouth and didn't obey the command that the Lord your God gave you. You came back, ate, and drank at this place about which he told you. 'Don't eat or drink there.' That is why your dead body will not be allowed to be placed in the tomb of your ancestors."
After the old prophet had something to eat and drink he then saddled up the donkey for the prophet that he brought home with him. The prophet left and a lion found him as he was traveling on the road and killed him. His body was thrown on the road and the lion and the donkey were standing by the body. People that passed by saw the body and the lion and donkey standing next to the body. They talked about it in the city where the old prophet lived. The old prophet heard about it and said this, "It's the man of God who rebelled against the words from the Lord's mouth! The Lord gave him to the lion. It tore him to pieces and killed him as the word of the Lord had told him." He went on his donkey and found the body of the man thrown on the road. He also found the lion and donkey standing beside it and the lion had not eaten the body and it did not tear the donkey to pieces either. The old prophet picked up the body and placed it on the donkey and brought it back. He laid the body of the prophet in his own tomb and mourned over the man. After he buried the man of God he told his sons that when he died to bury him in the tomb where the prophet was buried. To lay his bones beside his bones. He stated this, "The things that he announced by a command of the Lord against the altar of Bethel and all the illegal worship sites in the cities of Samaria will happen."
Verse 33 states this, "Even after this, Jeroboam didn't change his evil ways, but he once again made some men priests for the illegal worship sites. Appointing illegal priests became the sin of Jeroboam's family so that it had to be destroyed and wiped off the face of the earth."
Let me share with you what has been happening with me in my life. I have found that I have been prejudiced against on a few occasions. Yes, Caucasian people can also be prejudiced against by people of another race other than their own. Not one race can claim that they are the only one to be prejudiced against. For it happens far more that you may care to believe and it happens across many different races. I had a choice to complain and state my case but read the word of the Lord spoken through Eileen Fisher. When I read it it only confirmed to me that I am to do nothing in reference to this. The Lord will take care of this and it will be His judgement and not my feeble words or thoughts written on paper expressing what happened to me. You see, it is much better to obey the instruction of Holy Spirit than wanting to take the matter into your own hands. You saw what happened to the prophet that did not obey the word of the Lord, death came to him. I am not saying that death will come to one that does not obey but it is a great example to strengthen you and follow the lead of the Lord and do not fall. There is no greater place to be than in the palm of His hand and let Him defend you. He will defend you. Just rest in Him and continue on with the life that He calls you to live.
In the natural one may want to lash out and say, "Hey what about me, that was an injustice done to me. I want someone to do something about this." Remember, that is just your flesh wanting to rise up and keep it under submission OK. If you can control your flesh in situations like this then how much greater can the hand of God move on your behalf in your life. Do not look at the moment look at the bigger picture and pray for those people that may have done wrong to you. Remember, Jesus shed His blood and died for them too. He wishes that not one would perish in hell for eternity. When you look at it in that light it sure does bring you back into reality doesn't it? Yes, it does. Pray that the truth and light of Jesus Christ comes into their hearts and lives. It is better to pray for those that persecute you. Think of it like this...one day that person that did wrong to you may have changed their heart over time and you are now in a situation in which they will be placed before you and you are now the one to affect their very life. Remember Joseph? His brother's did him wrong in a mighty way didn't they? He then came across their path years later and throughout the years he grew in wisdom. He was not revealed to them until the timing was just right. What they meant as evil toward him turned out to be a blessing. He was raised up to be high up in the chain of command and they were all gathered in the end and spent quality time together. The day may come and that person is seated right before you and they may not even remember you but you remembered them. It may be hidden and then Holy Spirit brings it to your remembrance and while they are seated there before you He may even cause them to begin to wonder in their mind...I think I know this person. He can bring remembrance to anyone at any time. Then the choice will be placed in your lap. Will you seek revenge or will you extend mercy to them just like Jesus gives us His mercies that are new every day. Pass the test and see the greatness God has in store just for you, yes, just for you.
