God’s Plan to Bring My World Back Together
(Ezra 1:1-5; 3: 1-3 )
(Ezra 1:1-5; 3: 1-3 )
Ezra 1:1-5
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying, 2 Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me. And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. 3 Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel (He is God), which is in Jerusalem. 4 And whoever is left in any place where he dwells, let the men of his place help him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, besides the freewill offerings for the house of God which is in Jerusalem. 5 Then the heads of the fathers’ houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, with all whose spirits God had moved, arose to go up and build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem.
Ezra 3:1-3
And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem. 2 Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brethren, arose and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God. 3 Though fear had come upon them because of the people of those countries, they set the altar on its bases; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the Lord, both the morning and evening burnt offerings.
“My life is woven into God’s prophetic calendar.” – Pastor Billy Johnson
God is just not haphazardly doing things. He’s doing things to the counsel of His own Will
All of my days are written in The Book
Your promotion is just not for you
Psalm 102:13 NKJV 13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her, Yes, the set time, has come.
God’s word has a timetable to it
He’s already factored in your missteps
God’s prophetic purpose will cause you to readjust how you connect with people
Be intentional
Rebuild praise in your life
