2 Kings 18:13\u00a0 <\/span>In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them. And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, \u201cI have done wrong; withdraw from me. Whatever you impose on me I will bear.\u201d And the king of Assyria required of Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord and in the treasuries of the king’s house. At that time Hezekiah stripped the gold from the doors of the temple of the Lord and from the doorposts that Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid and gave it to the king of Assyria. And the king of Assyria sent the Tartan, the Rab-saris, and the Rabshakeh with a great army from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. When they arrived, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is on the highway to the Washer’s Field. And when they called for the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the secretary, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder.<\/p>\n

And the Rabshakeh said to them, \u201cSay to Hezekiah, \u2018Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: On what do you rest this trust of yours? Do you think that mere words are strategy and power for war? In whom do you now trust, that you have rebelled against me? Behold, you are trusting now in Egypt, that broken reed of a staff, which will pierce the hand of any man who leans on it. Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him. But if you say to me, \u201cWe trust in the Lord our God,\u201d is it not he whose high places and altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and to Jerusalem, \u201cYou shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem\u201d? Come now, make a wager with my master the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them. How then can you repulse a single captain among the least of my master’s servants, when you trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? Moreover, is it without the Lord that I have come up against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, \u201cGo up against this land and destroy it.\u201d\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

1 Kings 13:18<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0And he said to him, \u201cI also am a prophet as you are, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, \u2018Bring him back with you into your house that he may eat bread and drink water.\u2019\u201d But he lied to him.<\/p>\n

Amos 3:6<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Is a trumpet blown in a city, and the people are not afraid? Does disaster come to a city, unless the LORD has done it?<\/p>\n

John 19:10-11<\/b><\/span> \u00a0\u00a0So Pilate said to him, \u201cYou will not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Jesus answered him, \u201cYou would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We have to always be mindful of lying spirits speaking lies into the hearts and minds of others speaking to us.\u00a0 <\/span>This is always a possibility and for us to know the will of the Lord in all circumstances we must have discernment, wisdom, and understanding which can only come from God speaking into our lives and us having willing ears to hear and obedient heart and mind.\u00a0 <\/span>We know the prince of this world is here to entice us to stay in our sinful nature and apart from God by promising things the world cannot give; such as peace, hope, satisfaction, joy, refuge, to name a few.\u00a0 <\/span>These lies are believed by many who should know better.<\/p>\n

When it comes to things of God and our Lord and Savior, we will not find them apart from His word, time in His word seeking and desiring to be fed, led, and rooted in His word.\u00a0 <\/span>People will say many things and some of it may be the truth and some of it may be false.\u00a0 <\/span>Too often we hang on words that are said from not Spirit-filled worldly people.\u00a0 <\/span>We dwell and think about it as though it has great meaning rather than putting it into the context of \u201cWorldly\u201d.\u00a0 <\/span>When it has been put into context we can then see it through the lens of scripture and know our God is above all of this and more powerful and all of this and more than able to handle of this and will encourage, empower, and guide us.<\/p>\n

Stay close to God through His word and prayer believing in His leading and ability to lead you in thought and action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
