Entry 23
2Chr 30:1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the LORD God of Israel.
Out Of Zion From Jerusalem Goes Forth The Word of Life
Brethren you are that City. The City of the LORD. You are the Heavenly citizens who are called and empowered to walk as such. God has chosen you to hold forth the Word of life for out of Zion the City of the Lord The Word Of God Shall go forth From Jerusalem. You have come to Heavenly Jerusalem by Jesus Christ.
Hezekiah King of Judah, a man whose name means "Helped of JAH" brought forth the Word of Life with the commandment of the King, by the Word of the Lord, out of Zion from Jerusalem. Now hear your call, saint of God. You are now one with a kingly and priestly call to do as Hezekiah did. Walk as the citizen of heaven that Christ has brought you into by the shedding of His blood and the resurrection from the dead which is the object and source of your faith for the same Spirit which raised Christ from the dead dwells in you.
The wrath of God is coming upon this nation of the children of disobedience. Prepare your hearts before God to be the Hezekiah's He is raising up to speak the commandment of the King by the Word of the Lord with the same Grace that was upon Hezekiah, the same Grace that came with Jesus Christ, the same Grace with which the Apostle Paul carried out his service to God and the Church, the same Grace that has been bestowed upon You. Look to Jesus Christ and set your faith upon His ability to do His will in and through you. Be the workmanship of Christ that He is making you.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
