God’s Judgements Executed

Scripture Ezekiel 30:19 Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt,
Then they shall know that I am the LORD.

Observation: I believe God is executing His judgements on this world. We have strayed so far from Him and closer to Satan. God will make it clear that He is the creator and his displeased with His creation. We deserve God’s judgements, because I believe it’s not that Satan has become stronger but God’s children have become complacent.

Application: To do whatever I can to make others aware of what is happening. To pray and seek God’s face to find out what my part is in this time. Do whatever God calls me to do and not to be focused of the things of this World, but be a reflection of God’s glory.

Prayer Dear Lord forgive your children and the lack of zeal we have. Draw us close to You and open our eyes on what You call us to do. We are your servants and desire to please our master.

The Lowliest of Kingdoms

Scripture Ezekiel 29:15 It shall be the lowliest of kingdoms; it shall never again exalt itself above the nations, for I will diminish them so that they will not rule over the nations anymore.

Observation: This can be America. In the Bible God destroys nations so they will learn a lesson and come back to Him. I pray we are now living that lesson and that this country returns to Jesus. I pray we are getting close to the time when God will end this earth and bring forth a new one.

Application: Whatever God’s decision is I must do what I’m commanded to do. I need to be a light and shine as bright as I can and obey my Lord’s commands. No matter what happens my time is short here and I want to finish my race well.

Prayer Dear Lord I pray for this country and that You will have mercy on us and bring a godly leader for our nation.

Created Perfect

Scripture Ezekiel 28:15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
Till iniquity was found in you.

Observation: The day we were created was the last time we were perfect. We came into this world of sin and became sin ourselves. God has given us everything that we need to live a perfect life, but we don’t make it very far until we fall from grace.

Application: I know I will never be perfect, even knowing what I know now. I need to seek God’s grace, mercy and direction to continue this journey on this earth, but when I get home, I will receive the gift of perfection and love.

Prayer Dear Lord help me each day to seek you and your will. To tell others of my perfect Father and to help guide them to you.

Bartering Human Lives

Scripture Ezekiel 27:13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders. They bartered human lives and vessels of bronze for your merchandise.

Observation: How easy is it for men to but a price on human life. The days of slavery were bad, but it still goes on with sex trafficking, drug dealers, prostitution, people selling their integrity and it won’t stop here on this fallen world. We live in a “it’s all about me world” and we buy or take what we want no matter the cost to others.

Application: I need to value human life the way my God does. He loves His children and doesn’t want anyone to perish. I need to put my judgements away as I meet others and look at them through the eyes of my loving God. Satan wants to sell souls, but our Lord wants to redeem them.

Prayer My lord please take this selfishness away from me. This world does not revolve around me and you call me to love You with all of my heart, mind and soul and to love others as myself. I need your strength to do this please help me see how everyone is priceless in your eyes.

Descending into the Pit

Scripture Ezekiel 26:20 then I will bring you down with those who descend into the Pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the lowest part of the earth, in places desolate from antiquity, with those who go down to the Pit, so that you may never be inhabited; and I shall establish glory in the land of the living.

Observation: I keep seeing how Jesus’ name is being blasphemed in the media and all of the hate and crimes being committed. There are so many headed to the eternal pit and I don’t believe they realize what their punishment will be like. I wonder how many others are going to follow these evil people and how many will repent and turn from their evil ways. It will be their choice where they will spend eternity.

Application: As others are pulling people toward hell my calling is to open their eyes to Jesus. I am called to be an example and light to others to show them the choice they have to make. If they don’t repent will have eternal consequences.

Prayer Dear Lord grant my ways with success and guide me today to fulfill the calling You have given me. Empty me out and fill me with the Holy Spirit and use your servant to guide others on the most important journey of their lives.

God’s Vengeance

Scripture Ezekiel 25:17 I will execute great vengeance on them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I lay My vengeance upon them.

Observation: This world deserves God’s judgement and vengeance. We have strayed far from God and have set up idols and have done all kinds of evil. We kill our children before they come out of the womb, we abuse our children and sexual immorality has become normal. I wait for the day that God makes His appearance and that He will be known throughout the earth.

Application: I’m called to be here to glorify God with the life He has given me. Above all things I need to do God’s will in my life, that He may be glorified through me. I need to do whatever He calls me to do to turn other’s hearts to Him. I need to warn others of the vengeance that is about to come.

Prayer My Lord You are worthy of our praise and that we may give You glory. We deserve your vengeance and judgement we have done evil in your sight. May we turn from our wicked ways that you might have mercy on us.

The Desires of Our Eyes

Scripture Ezekiel 24:16 “Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, nor shall your tears run down.

Observation: We continue to desire the things of this world instead of seeking God. All that we see and have on this earth will be taken away, but if we seek God and His purpose for our lives, we will build up treasures in heaven that we’ll have forever. With everything that is happening now people are losing what they worked for and are falling into depression instead of asking God for direction.

Application: Currently I don’t have a job and my last unemployment check is coming. I’m worried about losing some of the things that I’ve accumulated here on this earth and the luxuries that I have instead of focusing on what God wants me to do. I need to be responsible for taking care of my wife, but the Lord’s calling is the most important thing in my life.

Prayer My Lord you have always taken care of your servant. Use this time you have blessed me with to do your will and desire. I’m here only until you call me home, may this time glorify you.
