THE CALL of the HEZEKIAH COMPANY

Entry 43

"The LORD Is Faithful, Who Shall Establish You"

2Chr 30:13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

2Chr 30:14 And they arose and took away the altars that [were] in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast [them] into the brook Kidron.

Jesus Christ is our Passover; life for us in Christ is a life long keeping of the feast of unleavened bread. Taking away the alters and idols of the life in the flesh is consistent with keeping the feast of unleavened bread. It is the evidence of a heart now occupied by Christ; a heart circumcised with the circumcision of Christ. We are bought with a price and we serve one LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. Our allegiance is to Him and Him alone, not to another. In the same way, the Hebrews, in years past, would rid their homes of any and all leaven during this feast, so now, with us, by the Holy Ghost, that same Power that raised Christ from the dead, our lives are rid of the leaven of sin and all things that seek to permeate and occupy our lives apart from Christ. As we continue to read the Word of God, we can observe where we may still be deficient, as the Holy Ghost convicts us of things that we need to be rid of, we may then bring it to God in prayer, trusting Him to deliver us from it. For it is God who works in us. We are the workmanship of Christ; Christ, who took our sins upon His own body on the cross and washed us clean by His blood. v14 "and cast [them] into the brook Kidron".

 But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep [you] from evil.(2Thess 3:3)

1Thess 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

1Thess 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Thess 5:24 Faithful [is] he that calleth you, who also will do [it].

1Cor 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

1Cor 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.

Col 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

Col 2:15 [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Phil 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.

Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together.
