Thursday August 22, 2013 “A Man Hated”
1 Kings 22:8 “8 So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the Lord; but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say such things!” Why … Continue reading
Wednesday August 21, 2013 “A Faithful Man”
I Kings 22:14 “And Micaiah said, “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord says to me, that I will speak.” When Martin Luther was told, “The whole world is against you” the man of the reformation retorted, “Then I am against the whole world.” As the Apostle Paul is recorded to have said in … Continue reading
Tuesday August 20, 2013 “A Man Tempted”
Yesterday I introduced the Prophet Micaiah, a good man called to shine a light in the darkness through his words. But that man will endure temptation to compromise his convictions and say things acceptable to men and not God. This was the case with Micaiah. Listen to these words from I Kings 22:13 “13 Then … Continue reading
Monday August 19, 2013 “A Man Who Is Like Jehovah”
In I Kings 22, we read of an alliance between the godless king Ahab and the God-fearing king Jehosophat. Ahab was a man who rejected both prophets and the prophetic word. The two joined together would be an unequal yoke which would create weakness not strength. God uses weak things to confound the wise, St. … Continue reading
Saturday August 17, 2013 “When they saw Him”
Luke 20:13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Probably they will respect him when they see him.’ What did the people see in Jesus, the Son? The invisible God in human flesh. They saw a loving, sin-forgiving Savior. They saw the power of … Continue reading

God Bless You and thousands of others praying in agreement for America tonight. You are making a difference.

Friday August 16, 2013 “I will send my Son”
Luke 20:13 God pulls out all the stops – priests, prophets, godly Kings and righteous men were sent by the owner of the vineyard to no avail. Israel refused to produce fruit for the Almighty. Instead of responding like a harsh businessman, the Lord opens the treasure of His heart and sends the apple of … Continue reading
Thursday August 15, 2013 “God Who is gracious”
“I will send my Son”. We know John 3:16 “God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” Here is the amazing part of John 3:16 found in 1John 4:10 “This is love, not that we loved God, but that He … Continue reading
Wednesday August 14, 2013 “What shall I Do?”
The ungrateful people refused God’s warnings from heaven. God asks Himself “What Shall I Do?” Will God show the extent of His grace once again? Or will God respond with vengeance and judgment? The owner chooses to send His Beloved Son. Thinking the best of His people, the owner (who is the Father God) … Continue reading
Tuesday August 13, 2013 “Faithless Husbandmen”
The proud rulers of Israel treated God’s messengers shamefully when they came to get some fruit for the owner of the vineyard. Each of the Master’s messengers were persecuted and beat everyone who came in the Master’s name to get what was rightfully His. These were faithless husbandmen in Israel. We have had many … Continue reading
