RUSSELL SANDERS 2-21-2021 ZECHARIAH THE PROPHET – LESSON 1 INTRODUCTION   Of the thirteen books of the “minor prophets” Daniel gets the most attention because of [1] his personal experiences and [2] the end-time prophecies which are studied in connection with Revelation. The other twelve receive little attention and almost no preaching or teaching, yet they all are important for one reason or another.   Zechariah is one of those twelve. It is the one book of prophesy, including the “major prophets” that gives the most prophesies of the Messiah who is to come. As such, it plays a large part, along with Isaiah 53 in convincing present-day Jews that Jesus was and is their Messiah. The fulfilled specific details found in Zechariah are astounding.   This prophet was born in Babylon during the exile. As a young man, he was among those who returned to Israel when the exile was finished. He was the grandson of Iddo, the high priest, who he succeeded in that position. He was both a priest and a prophet, a very rare combination.   Haggai and Zechariah were contemporaries who began prophesying in 520 B.C. about 14-16 years after the return from exile (c. 538-536 B.C.). The walls of Jerusalem were rebuilt, and construction of the Temple had begun. Resistance resulted in the work of the temple being halted.   These two prophets were instrumental in encouraging the people to complete the building of the temple fourteen years after the work had halted.   Zechariah, whose name means “Yahweh Remembers,” was probably about twenty years old when God gave him a series of visions during the night. The visions (eight or ten, depending on how you divide them) spoke mostly to people inhabiting Jerusalem at that time. In general, the visions were to encourage the people with a future hope and inspire them about the importance of the temple and its completion. These visions are given in chapters 1-8.   Chapters 9-14 then speak of the future Messiah, both of His suffering (chapters 9-11) and His future kingdom (chapters 12-14) which is yet to come.   Any study of future events in Revelation and Daniel should also include Zechariah 12-14. Any study of Jesus’ birth, ministry, and “passion” should include Zechariah 9-11.   With this background laid, we shall study this book of prophecy in more detail. It is an opportunity to learn this book of God’s word and affirm the prophecies of Yeshuah that came hundreds of years before His birth.   It is encouraging that God (Yahweh, Jehovah) always “remembers” His own, whether the Jews of Zechariah’s time or the believers of our time.

HELEN SANDERS 2-21-2021 SHOULD WE PRAY FOR PATIENCE?   Over the years I have heard so many people say, “I don’t have any patience, please pray for me that I can be patient.” When they say this, I cringe, because of what it says it Romans 5:3 says, “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;”   Did you read that? It says that tribulation (defined as: trials, anguish, burdens, troubles, pressure, persecution, etc.) brings patience. These things come into our lives to develop patience in us. So, if you want more patience, you will have more problems.   We walk by faith, and not sight my friends. We don’t know what tomorrow holds, but as the old song goes, “we know who holds tomorrow” is a sure fact. We rest in the fact that God knows more than we do and will always make a way for us.    If we are impatient it is simply because we don’t have the faith to believe God’s promises. As you go through tribulations (trials, etc.) you learn from your mistakes. This is what grows faith, and this is what develops patience.   James 1: 2-4 says: “My brethren, count it all joy when we fall into divers (various) temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” We have to come to the realization that patience is developed, and faith developed through trials.    So, do we pray for patience? No. We develop it through the trying (trials, tribulations, etc.) that come our way. click here to read more of Helen's Daily Messages

PROPHETIC WORDS AND EXHORTATIONS TEACHING AND EQUIPPING THE SAINTS THROUGH: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers

HELEN SANDERS FEBRUARY 20, 2021 PROPHETIC EXHORTATION   In early January of this year the Lord spoke to me and said there would be many suddenlies. There would be sudden deaths, sudden changes in your life, sudden moves, and more. We need to brace ourselves for this. It is already happening to many of us. Friends died suddenly that caught “Covid19” and didn’t make it.   I also see that there will be suddenlies in the spirit realm. There will be sudden promotions of those that never saw themselves in ministry. There will be sudden relationship changes of those that had not considered a relationship with someone else or will break off unhealthy relationships suddenly.   There will be suddenlies in the political realm my friends like you have never seen before. They will not all be for the good. Brace yourself.   There will be sudden persecution of Christians like never before. Brace yourself.   There will be suddenlies, and we need to be prepared for them. In January of 2020 God gave a word of separation and preparation. Some heeded the word, while others did not. We separate ourselves from sin and those that lead us astray. We separate ourselves unto God and spend time with Him praying and seeking His face.    We prepare ourselves for what is coming. If we are living in the last days, which I believe we are, we need to prepare others for eternity. Prepare in the natural for hard days ahead and prepare in the spiritual to be fully armed in the armor of God daily.   Now is not the time to sit back and be idle. It is the time to rise up and be what God has called you to be and do what He has called you to do. Don’t be in the list that said, “I wish I had.” Be a doer of the word and not just a hearer only.    Be prepared for suddenlies!

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY 2-20-2021 PROPHETIC EXHORTATION God greatly desires for all His children to be totally LED by His Spirit. However, God’s Spirit will give you directions NOT road maps. Perhaps some of you have been asking God for directions; But what you are really wanting is for God to give you a typewritten, turn by turn road map. Always keep on the front burner of your mind that God LEADS His children...But He never DRIVES them. The fact is that you drive cows but you lead sheep. God’s Word in Matthew 9:36 compares us to sheep needing a shepherd; NOT a bunch of wild rebellious cattle needing to be sternly DRIVEN. There’s no need for you worry as God will always give you further instructions; But only as you faithfully walk out the former instructions and directions that He’s already given you. This will only come through His Holy Spirit leading and guiding you. Now be certain that your destiny trips are only made with the help of a great GPS (God’s Positioning System) today, tomorrow and everyday. God has some really satisfying surprises and some super suddenlies in store for you. So get yourself ready for God to move in you, on you and through you; But always FOR you. Have a blessed weekend
