Moving in the Warfare of Love
Courage Not Compromise
Then the king stood by a pillar and made a covenant before the Lord, to follow the Lord and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes, with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people took a stand for the covenant.
II Kings 23:3
Strategic Targets for today:
Josiah followed the 55-year reign of his grandfather Manasseh (an evil king) and his father Amon (an evil king) who ruled for 2 years. God raised up Josiah at a time to reset his nation much as we pray will happen in our nation. But we can rest assured after 57 years, as Josiah set about to tear down altars, decommission idolatrous priests, break down the houses of the sodomites, and even tear down high places erected by previous kings, many people were not happy.
“We the People” voted for an administration that would honor the Constitution, nominate judges that would not create law, restore religious freedom, restore freedom of speech to church leaders, honor the life of the unborn and move the nation back to the plum-line of our founding fathers. But as Josiah 60 years have passed. Strongholds have become entrenched in our society. As with Josiah – we have to know his reforms weren’t all met with a nation of “happy campers”.
This morning we will look at specifics of Josiah’s reforms, compare them to reforms God is showing us are needed in America and ask God to give our leaders courage, without compromise, to bring about these changes. We will pray God will strengthen the hand of our President, our Congress, Senate, and Courts to bring us back to God’s plum-line for our nation.
TARGETS–
God will give “Spirit-led” strategies for each reform
God will give courage and overcome any compromise
God will strengthen the hands of reformers and pave the way for each reform
God will cleanse the land to advert future judgment
God will restore blessing, honor, and strength to our nation
