You know I have never met this young man or seen him preach in person. I have seen him via video and I sense a purity of heart and sincerity. Fresh perspective and joy in his heart. I was blessed a few days ago when I was at a local grocery store and ran into someone I knew from 2 different churches I attended at one time. You know God shows up and presents a teacher to you in your very life when the timing is right. I do beleive that happened that very day at a local Kroger's in the produce section of the store. Hum, produce I think I see a correlation here. Produce is the result of a great season of planting, nourishing the fruit and then the great harvest produces the produce. Do you get it? There are seasons in your life where you are in the growing stages just before the harvesting. Why can I not sleep right now and I find myself up and writing? It is because Holy Spirit beckons me to share. He had me reading in the bible Ezra starting with Ezra 3 and reading through and including Ezra 6. You do know that when God has a plan of action no man even in their feeble attempts can stop or block that plan.
As I was not able to sleep this very night it was Holy Spirit that drew me to this scripture reading. I see the faithfulness of God all over this scripture do you? Someone tries in their own feeble mind set to cause the temple to not be built and makes a feeble attempt to the stopping of building the temple. Thank God for written decrees and things of this nature. I have to interject here because I read and had underlined in Ezra 3:11 on 6/6/2014 :"He is good; his mercy toward Israel endures forever." At that moment while reading it early this morning it caused me to ponder, hey I am a portion Jewish so it now speaks to me louder today then when I underlined it in 2014. Then this simple thought comes to my mind ... it was many years ago that I was assigned an angel named Rabbah. I beleive that is the correct spelling I would have to search in one of my journals to verify that. So I look up and to my right in my bedroom and I sense Rabbah is there with me. I do not see as one may see in that realm when it comes to seeing angels I sense the presence. I then apologized for years if I did acknowledge him being with me. I sensed that he was always there with me and never left me and for that I am most grateful. I thanked him for that.
See, it is an exciting life I live always finding hidden treasures here and there. Back to the story at hand now ok. The temple was to be built and even though man attempted to block this, the scrolls written in history verified the very fact that the permission along with detailed instruction connected to the written decree were found. Interestingly enough, I apparently was reading Ezra 5 on 6/8/2014 and I notated it was Pentecost Sunday that day I read my bible. You know what the title of that chapter is labeled , "Work Resumed on the Temple." I read a bit further and on 6/9/2014 I was reading Ezra 6 and I have underlined in the midst of verse 4 "The king's palace will pay for it." This gets even better as I read Ezra 6:11 I underlined this time "I am also issuing a decree that if anyone tampers with my orders, that person should be impaled on a beam torn from his own house and his house should be turned into a pile of rubble." Then I underlined a portion of verse 14: " the leaders continued to make progress because of the message from the prophet Haggai and Zechariah." It is a great ending to this story for "They finished building as the God of Israel had ordered and as Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes (the kings of Persia) had ordered. This temple was finished on the third day of the month of Adar in the sixth year of Darius' reign."
Are you seeing the big picture? It may look like it is over but it is not for the our God blessed and continues to bless America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. He will not let us down for He is the foundation of which our country was built on. They can scheme and plot all they want but the final say so is the voice of the Lord God Almighty. Sit back and watch the fireworks display as He moves in great grandeur and power to save this beautiful land of ours, the land of the free and the home of the brave.
