Prayer: Father, sometimes Your message is to specific people. Today is such a day. May those to whom the word applies, hear and repent. Amen.
Reading: Ezekiel 13 key: vs. 2-3 ““Son of man, prophesy concerning the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying, say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, hear the word of Adonai, thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit—except they have seen nothing!” TLV
Attention: How has Adonai sent His message to the world? He has sent His only Son, Messiah. He has sent His Holy Spirit who has inspired men to write the scriptures. He has sent His apostles (emissaries), prophets, proclaimers, shepherds, and teachers (Ephesians 4:11).
Today, Ezekiel is told to proclaim and prophesy to prophets who are taking it upon themselves to prophesy their themselves to “follow their own spirit.” A prophet is to be an anointed mouthpiece for Adonai. Only proclaiming/prophesying what He has given them to prophesy. These prophets have it backwards. They are prophesying and hoping for “confirmation of their word (vs. 6b).” The prophets have sunk so low as to captivated by “false visions and utter lying divinations (vs. 9).”
When our spiritual leaders begin failing God, they are failing the people He has entrusted to their care. Ezekiel was sent to declare God’s judgement on them, and God’s deliverance of His people out of their hands (vs. 23b).”
Deliverance is a critical facet of Adonia’s ministry to everyone who is under oppression, in captivity, whether at the hand of another man, a spiritual leader, a dictator, or a food or substance addictions which control you. Adonais is all about freedom. Freeing you and me from those things which keep us enslaved.
Choose freedom today in the name of Yeshua Messiah.
Action: I choose to live in the freeing power of Yeshua.
Yield: I choose to submit to the freeing power of the Holy Spirit.
Engaged: I choose to engage in the freeing deliverance which only Yeshua can do.
Relationship: I choose to live in a close, intimate relationship with Adonai.
Prayer: Father, I pray for deliverance from anger and hasty responses. May Your Holy Spirit give me tongue control and temperance of attitude. Neither of these things accomplish Your will. Amen.
Memory Verse: Galatians 5:1 “For freedom, Messiah set us free—so stand firm, and do not be burdened by a yoke of slavery again.” TLV
