Listen to Him, Who? Jesus, Yashua
Did you know the original Hebrew name of Jesus is Yashua? Well, look it up…study it…call on Him! Anyhow, I want to share something very personal with you…
A few months ago I read, 1 Kings 13:1-34. I was perplexed and uneasy after I read it. It is the story of a young prophet and an older prophet…there is more involved, but let’s concentrate on the young prophet and the older prophet.
The young prophet went to the king with a message from God…the king was about to have the prophet arrested; when a miracle happened! The king was so happy that he invited the prophet to dinner and had a gift to give him. What did the young prophet do? Did he do what God told him to do or what the king wanted him to do? How does the older prophet fit into this?
Read it for yourself, it is quite intriguing.
Now what does this have to do with me? Remember, I asked the Lord, several months ago for the meaning of this passage…what does it have to do with me? I heard other interpretations…but I wanted to know what this has to do with my life…after all
Acts 2:17 NIV says, “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”
So-o-o this is what happened in my life relating to this passage in I Kings 13:1-34.
I met a Hebrew scholar, an older prophet…his message was different than what the Holy Spirit told me to do.
I was very impressed, I wanted to study with him and his ministry…what he said tickled my ears. Which way to go Lord? His doctrine was different than any I had heard…I didn’t call my friends, I know what You, Lord, told me to do, but this man has a truth I had not heard before.
Early in the wee hours of the morning, around 2 a.m., I was awakened, (no, I didn’t see an angel 😊) I sat up in bed and was impressed to read I Kings 13:1-34.
I’m asking you to read it for yourself. I got my answer…you’ll never guess what I did…all I can say is, “I’m still living!”
You better know Jesus, Yahshua…hear His voice (John 10:17 My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me,) stay covered in His blood 🩸.
