God is Giving the Backsliders a Certificate of Divorce
Have you ever felt the pull of worldly delights, only to find yourself drifting from the spiritual harbor you once called home? Join me as I unveil the truths of Israel's wanderings and King Ahab's triumphs, revealing the intricate dance of human frailty and divine compassion. This episode isn't just a history lesson; it's a lifeline for anyone seeking a path back to grace. We'll dissect the potent mix of temptation and salvation, reminding us that God's embrace remains open even when we lose our way. Expect to emerge with a renewed understanding of how, amid our stumbles, God's guidance offers both correction and solace.
Witnessing the downfall of foes can stir a complex of emotions, but we approach this topic with humility, guided by the wisdom of Proverbs 24. As I narrate these divine deliverance and judgment, we recognize that our life's peaks and valleys are all under God's sovereign reign. This episode extends beyond simple storytelling; it's an invitation to stand firm in faith and intercede for the redemption of those who've strayed. Together, we'll explore the call of God's unconditional love that leads us towards unity and worship, carrying away the profound assurance that His dominion is unshaken, no matter the trials we face or adversaries that rise against us.
God is giving the certificate of divorce to the backsliders Jeremiah 3.8. Then I saw that, for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I put her away and given her a certificate of divorce. Yet her treacherous sister, judah, did not fear but went and plead. The harlot also plead. The harlot, also Child of God. Even after God has shown them his mercy again and again, his forgiveness over and humble to God's word that tells you come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest, you refuse to confess with your mouth that God is good and worthy to be praised, that Jesus is the Son of the living God. For this continuance of disregards for who God is and what he has done for you personally, what he has done for your life personally. You see, just like every time, god would bring King Ahab out as a winner from the wars that Ahab knew he had no chance of coming out on the winning side. Time and time again, child of God, god has brought you out of the deep low valleys of depression. God has brought you out of almost being homeless, you know, of migraines and financial warfare, of being stuck in the camp with your enemies that wanted to see your life destroyed and dead. You see, a prophet came to King Ahab telling him that the Lord will allow him to win, to claim victory over a vast army. It teaches us that in 1st Kings 20, you know King Ahab. He said rescues you, that he is Lord of all. You see, while your enemies, while your enemies, who have set camp to attack you, child of God, to destroy your integrity, this is for the ones who are walking in the favor of the Lord. This is for the ones who are walking in the favor of the Lord. God has strengthened you to defeat your enemies by making your enemies that lied on you. God will flip that around. See God, by making your enemies lie on you, become their truth about them. So whatever they said, that was a lie to you yesterday, will become their truth today.
Speaker 1:You see, right now your enemies' integrity is in question. You see, god has allowed your enemies to become drunk, stupid, drunk off the things of this world. You know, which has caused them to stagger in their attack on you? Because their level of intoxication of greed for money, their level of intoxication for greed for fame and greed for attention, for selfish gain and for their rebellion against God has reached beyond the levels of intoxication, like a drunk driver behind the wheel with a 0.5 level of alcohol. You know, child of God, the one that God is showing favor. I need you to understand.
Speaker 1:It is funny how it is just the opposite, for you too, you know, are drunk, shout of God. You are drunk, shout of God, but intoxicated with the love of Christ Jesus, intoxicated by meditating and reading God's word, which has transformed you into having a sober mind in the world to refuse the tempting things that is not of Christ Jesus. You see, however, the intoxication of your enemies from the tempting things of this world. They began to fall prey to it, such as lust and greed and fornication. You see, these things have left your enemies with the inability to maneuver the will in his life to save his life, for the mere fact that he refuses to acknowledge that it is God who maneuvers the will of not only saving our lives but to live eternal life with him. But to live eternal life with him, but God who sustains life, to become a continuance fountain, you see, that never dries up, that never leaves you nor forsake you, that never leaves you thirsty for the things of this world. Somehow, even knowing all this the backslider, even knowing all this, the backslider continues to slide further and further away from Christ Jesus, child of God, I need you to understand that through this the backslider, your enemies will still keep coming. You know they will still keep insisting and attacking you, not realizing why they are getting drunk off the material things in this world, like it is their idol. You know they will be stooped to nothing while being precariously drunk in the world and for the world. Like Ben Heredit and the 32 kings that rallied with him were in their tents, they too were getting drunk.
Speaker 1:It tells us that in the first Kings of 2016,. You know, see it put them in a position to fall in the hands of King Ahab, because they slighted who God is and slighted of knowing how God had dominion over all the parameters of this earth and the heavens above. You see, the text tells us that the man of God came up and told the king of Israel who is? The king called Ahab. The king called Ahab. This is what the Lord says, because the Armenians think the Lord is a God of the hills and not the God of the valleys. God says I will deliver this vast army into your hands and you will know that I am Lord. This is what he said to King Ahab.
Speaker 1:So, child of God, you must understand that God will, god must, release you from the hand of your enemies, because your enemies think that God is only the God of the hills in your life and not the God of your deliverance of the low valleys. God's word clearly tells us do not be deceived, because God cannot be mocked. A man will reap what he sows, for God is the only God of this universe, god is the Alpha and God is the Omega. So, child of God, stay intoxicated in the love of Christ Jesus, stay intoxicated in the word of God, so that you will be able to block the fairy darts of your enemies and you will begin to be a witness, to be a witness of your enemies' fall, to be a witness for Christ, to not make mockery of your enemies, but to profess who God is and how vast his love is for you, a love that never fails, you know, a love that covers a multitude. You see, God will never leave you, nor forsake you, and you will see with your own eyes the fall of your enemies.
Speaker 1:It says in the word that Deuteronomy 28 tells us the Lord shall cause thy enemies that rise against be to fall before thy face, thy face, thy face, your enemies will fall before your face. They shall come out against thee one way and they shall flee before thee seven. You see, we must understand that, when this occurred, that we do not gloat. The word tells us we do not gloat when our enemies fall. You know, when they stumble, the Lord says do not let your heart rejoice, or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them. It teaches us that in Proverbs 24. So shout of God when God shows favor for you walking in the light of Christ Jesus.
Speaker 1:We must then take back and say that we will pray for the backslider. Pray for your enemies, slider. Pray for your enemies because we are now in a time where God is handing out a certificate of divorce. We are now in a time you need to understand that where God is handing a certificate of divorce to all those who refuse not to confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and have lordship over the universe and the backslider. So pray, child of God, pray for the backslider. Pray that the backslider began to honor the name of the Lord and will no longer follow the stubbornness of their hearts, for the word tells us at that time that they will call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord and all the nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of the Lord. It is a time that is coming, where we will begin to honor the name of the Lord. No longer will the backslider follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts, for this is the reason why God has to give a certificate of divorce in Jesus name, amen.
