Destroy or Refine: Fire 30June2024

 Today's recording was delayed due to 'technical difficulties', (the church PC did not connect to the internet, even though all the indications on the network devices were good).   The first few passages were missed in the recording...

  • Hosea 4:1 - 6    refiners fire
  • Hos. 6:5 - 7
  • Ps. 140: ALL
  • Dan. 3:1 - 28
    • Mal. 3:1 - 6
    • Ps. 12: ALL
  • Is. 48:1 - 14
    • Num. 32:1 - 13
    • Deut. 4:1 - 11, 14 - 20
  • Mal. 3:2 - 3
  • Zech. 13:1 - 6
    • Matt. 13:36 - 42
    • Rev. 1:10 - 15
    • John 3:19 - 21
    • Matt. 6:19 - 24
Notes:
  • Hos. 4:6  referrring to Israel's calling, to be priests and kings; "ye shall be no priests..." for your disobedience.
  • Ps. 12:  'what we say, goes!'  We are in control, we have 'OUR' truth...Nuts to you, GOD!. This is "Ye are gods" on display!!!
  • Is. 48:  "Iron and brass", mentioned again, in man's perspective.  It what we think is 'immutable'.
  • Deut. 4:20  Israel was to have been GOD's inheritance.  But when HE came to them, they rejected HIM.
  • (also Deut...)  God will not be mocked. HE is particular about what HE says. The proof is in Moses' 'indiscretion':  he smote the rock, rather than speaking to it.  Thus he did not enter Canaan!  Is GOD righteouss and holy?  Does he demand righteousness and holiness in our lives? Mal. 3:6  "...I change NOT..."
