Today’s Feast Aug. 2, 2014-Ezekiel 19 A Funeral Song for Israel’s Leaders clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily.  We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.  Gods Not Dead! “8 If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord” Romans 14:8 Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Ezekiel Chapter 19; “A parable lamenting the ruin of Jehoahaz and Jehoiakim. (1-9) Another describing the desolation of the people. (10-14)“ - Matthew Henry Concise.  Ezekiel, is singing a funeral song for two of Israel’s leaders; (see Ezekiel 19:1-9) as the mother waited one died then the other.   Jerusalem was flourishing and fruitful (see Ezekiel 19:10-14) and she was plucked up and burned because her wickedness.  This Lamentation (funeral song) is sung with great sorrow; “13 Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land. 14 And fire has gone out from the stem of its shoots, has consumed its fruit, so that there remains in it no strong stem, no scepter for ruling. This is a lamentation and has become a lamentation.” Ezekiel 19:13-14 English Standard Version (ESV).  The battle we fight to day (see Ephesians 6:12) is against the same wickedness found in Jerusalem.  We must be prepared to battle this wickedness; “13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,” Ephesians 6:13-14 ESV. Standing in the power of Jesus our song will be a victory song (see 1 John 5:4) not a lamentation of great sorrow.       Is Jesus calling you?  Are you ready to know God’s plan for your life?   Do you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life?  If the answer is yes to any of these questions please click the following link; http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm The Feast is intended to encourage Saints to pray and read every word in the bible!  Let me know if you have any questions or comments, by replying here on the blog or in an email to mike@admenu.com.
