5 Lessons from the Book of Ezra | Tony Evans Book of the Bible

The book of Ezra is about spiritual restoration. It deals with the restoration of the temple by Israel’s people after their return from Babylonian captivity as a result of their persistent disobedience and idolatry. God had made a kingdom promise to them that if they would return to him, he would bring
them back to their land.
The priest Ezra led the second group of exiles back to Israel. He focused on reestablishing the temple and its sacrificial system, making it clear that the worship of God’s people would only be effective if they dedicated themselves to obeying God’s law. He challenged them that if they would get serious with the Lord, they would experience his covenantal blessings. But, this required Israel to stop compromising with God’s enemies and
to turn from idolatry. Israel needed to be people separated to God to experience his blessings and be restored to his kingdom promises.
The message of Ezra is that when we depart from God, we lose our experience of him. But, when we return to him, he will restore us to fellowship with him.

God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble

Through the fast I've been on guard has been dealing with me about this book as well and many more just dealing with fasting and praying because God is dealing with his people about fasting and praying because this nation is is going through things and if we don't come and fast and pray and call on the name of God and seek his face and obey his Commandments and like you said and 2nd Chronicles 7:14 and turn on WOR 710 from my Wicked way that the Voyager hear from heaven and heal the land we are in trouble we need to turn to God like the Book of Revelations

In hermeneutics Ezra was to the jews. We re in Church Age different epoch. Some things can apply but it's a stretch.

Life Lesson’s every day before us. Life has a way of growing and expanding us in endless ways - if we’re open to it. Sometimes Life’s experiences seemingly arrive as trickery’s, yet the being mindful that, as Pastor Charles Swindoll says, “Life is 10% of what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it.” We can miss Life’s amazing lessons in the unexpected. We must choose to be open to seeing Life’s mysteries as possibly an arrival on our behalf OR we’ll miss out on the meaningfulness of what can come through the messes and mistakes of our lives. Life’s a gift 💝 if only we’re not so busy looking for perfection.

For those who dont know, God does get angry. Read the old testament and see how he brought wrath to his enemies and to his disobedient children. Fear the Lord and only him.

[@truckerdavesroadtoglory636]

Duties of a priest of the Holy Spirit: A Call to Prayer 2 First of all, then, I urge that petitions (specific requests), prayers, intercessions (prayers for others) and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all people, 2 for kings and all who are in [positions of] high authority, so that we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This [kind of praying] is good and acceptable and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who wishes all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge and recognition of the [divine] truth. 5 For there is [only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself as a ransom [a substitutionary sacrifice to atone] for all, the testimony given at the right and proper time. 7 And for this matter I was appointed a preacher and an apostle-I am telling the truth, I am not lying [when I say this]-a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger and disputing or quarreling or doubt [in their mind].

[@JC-fy6fy]

Yes. Agreed 100% 👍

[@Nina3Lee]

Where may I get the music that is in the introduction?

[@KaosKit]

Should one repent of the sin of heresy? Perhaps pelagianism? What do you think Tony?

The Gospel In order TO GET SAVED you must believe in PAUL’s Gospel, which was given to him by Jesus Christ (Gal1:11-12) for us today…which is: -That Christ died for your sins, according to the scriptures -Was buried -And rose again the third day according to the scriptures (1 Cor 15:1-4) **Note: “according to the scriptures” means it was preached before hand in word of God. Other versus in support of the Salvation of the gospel. Rom 1:16; 2:16 (How will God judge the world?) 1 Thess 4:14 1 Cor 1:17; (No baptism, but faith in the Gospel!) Eph 1:13; (Sealed with the Holy Spirit when???) Gal 1: 6-9; 2 Thess 1:6-8 (Scary if you don’t believe!!!) 2 Cor 4:3-4 Eph 3:1-7 (How are the Gentiles Heirs??) Every writer of these books are Paul. He’s going through each city as the Holy Spirit leads him to preach the message of the Gospel as God said he(Paul who is Saul) would do (Acts 26:14-18). Don’t believe the words I tell you, but read and believe God’s word. By just saying I accept Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior is neglecting that Christ died on the cross for you. By believing in the gospel, your now placed in the body of Christ, which Christ is the head and “LORD” over (ROM 14:9). He is NOW your “SAVIOR” because He died for your sins and saved you from external punishment and death. Again follow and read the versus’s and let God guide you to victory. Remember to TEST ALL THINGS (INCLUDING MYSELF) and hold on to that which is true (1 John 4:1; 1 Thess 5:21). If these scriptures about salvation are contradicting what you heard before in your churches, from your pastor, teacher, or wherever then that’s your cue to Research..Research..Research..Research!!! Compare scripture with scripture. That goes for any person or anyone who teaches you scriptures, hear them with all readiness, but don’t set your heart on it until you search and read the scriptures for yourself (Acts 17:11). Don’t play Russian roulette with your life. Each person is going to be responsible to God in judgment and all excuses will be eliminated including: this person told me this and this person told me that, the preacher told me this and a teacher told me that….You are responsible to God to work out your own salvation (Phil 2:12)!!! We all have the bible to search the scriptures. If you need help, then pray to God for understanding (Prov2:6). It’s His book and His words, who other than to pray to for understanding? Once you get that understanding, then set your heart on that which is true by believing that…Jesus died for your sins, was buried, and rose again the 3rd day (1 Cor 15:1-4). Your salvation will be secure and we will meet in heaven and rejoice together for your faith in the Gospel whomever you are See you soon... love you so so so very much:)
