This is it! The end of our study on Kings! We have been in Kings almost a year! This is probably the most important teaching you will hear because you will see the correlation between what happened in Israel and Judah and how it’s exactly what’s happening in America today. We are on the precipice of a change that absolutely begins with us! The only thing that will rescue America today is a repenta...

Today let’s look at the life of King Josiah. He was only eight when he began to reign and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. He was one of the greatest kings in Judah and he is special in that he was named by an unknown prophet 356 years before! His name means “God supports and heals” and that is just what he did. He began to repair the house of the Lord and he tore down the high places use...

You will look at a wonderful story today of the goodness of God. King Manasseh was the longest reigning of all the kings. He was able to restore stability and some prosperity back to Judah and Jerusalem after the Assyrians took so much during Hezekiah’s reign. But King Manasseh did so much evil during his reign that the biblical authors equate Manasseh as the number one reason for God’s judgment o...

Today we will finish in the life of King Hezekiah. You will see God use medicine coupled with a miracle to heal him. You will learn that a believers most dangerous time is after a great victory! You must guard against pride and stay humble in every situation, as pride always leads to a fall. While Hezekiah was healed, in the end he became prideful and adopted a flippant attitude only thinking only...

I’m excited to look into a life of a king today that actually did what was right in the eyes of the Lord! King Hezekiah was the first ruler to get rid of the high places along with idolatrous sites and instruments. He trusted in the Lord and did all that was right just like David had done. He was dedicated to the Lord and the results were prosperity, success and military dominance! When the toughe...

We look again today at an evil king. You will see the end of the kingdom of Israel today. The enemies of Israel, the Assyrians, take over the land and lions begin to attack them. Because of this, the Assyrians assume that the god of the land must be angry, so they get one of the priests of Israel to go back and dwell there and teach the Assyrians about the laws of God, which the Israelites did not...

Today we continue with Kings! You will look at an extremely wicked king and probably wonder how he could do the things he did. While there were many evil kings, King Ahaz was especially so. He offered his son as an offering to false gods! Repentance could have turned him around, but he refused. God even told him through the prophet Isaiah to ask him for any sign to help him out of the mess he was...

Today you will learn an extremely important lesson. King Uzziah is our leper king and he began his reign admirably. Unfortunately, he grew proud because of his success. We would all do well to remember that wisdom is seen in remaining humble in the midst of success, fame, and glory. A humble heart will hear God’s voice despite how it is delivered to you. Every single page of the Bible has a purpos...

Continuing today, we will see more of the line of Ahab and Jezebel being systematically wiped out according to the word of the Lord. The evil that his descendants did was like a cancer that kept spreading, which is why the Lord needed to have them wiped out. Today you’ll see the long-suffering and goodness of God, as He forgives over and over, even when they returned to doing evil. One time, after...

We are continuing with Kings today and taking a closer look at the last descendants of Jezebel. We know that she is synonymous today for an evil and power hungry woman. But what are the criteria of a “jezebel” and how will you recognize her? Contrary to popular belief, it isn’t just a strong-willed woman in charge! You’ll learn the traits of a “jezebel” and how to recognize her. Discernment is nee...

Today, we are going to delve into the judgment God foretold for Ahab’s family line. One thing is crucial in understanding God’s judgements against someone is that He takes no pleasure at all in destruction and death. Death is an enemy to be conquered in God’s eyes. It’s also important to understand that a decree of “anathema” or one devoted to destruction, removes all protection from God and then...

Today, we are continuing with the Kings and will learn several lessons from them. We’ll go with Elisha and Gehazi (again) and visit Ben Hadad and Hazael. One lesson to catch here is sometimes you must decree the judgements of the Lord, which can be emotionally tough. Continuing with history, you’ll notice the faithfulness of God over and over to His word. Sometimes God calls on us to intercede and...

I’m excited for you to hear this message! It’s so practical for us as a body of believers today. You’ll see in the lesson today, through the prophetic, Elisha gives a supernatural solution using the wisdom of God. The prophetic is not some mystical pie in the sky theory. It is available for ALL Christians to be used today! It is meant to be used to solve problems, be practical in its application,...

Today you are going to look at Naaman, the commander of the army in Syria. You will learn true versus false humility. As you follow Naaman on his journey for healing, you will see that he had to learn to be humble to receive from the Lord. The first act of humility is obedience to whatever God tells you to do. God is attracted to humility and as Rick Joyner says, “God will often offend us to test...

You are in for a treat with this message! You are going to learn about Elisha and how he became the solution to one woman’s financial hardship and fulfilled another’s lifelong dream! Prophets should not only have an encouraging word today, but be able to solve problems not only within the walls of the church, but also in society. Prophets and prophetic people should be beneficial to their local ci...

Today let’s look at the life of Elisha right after Elijah ascended. You will learn about Elisha and dive into how he was positioned by God to solve the problems of a city. God gave Elisha the answer to cleanse the water at Jericho. With a combination of the practical and the supernatural, Elisha became the answer for the water problem at Jericho. You will see as you continue to study with us, Elis...

We continue with 2 Kings and the saga of disobedience which began in 1 Kings. Israel continues to spiral downward in faithlessness, and ultimately is defeated and dispersed by the Assyrians. Judah, the southern kingdom, had several kings who trusted God and attempted reforms. But after many years of God warning them through prophets, Judah’s sins were punished by Babylonian conquest. Through it al...

Today, we are going to finish up the first book of Kings. We finally get to see Ahab’s prophecy of his life ending come to fruition. Ahab could have repented at anytime and turned to the Lord. He was given many chances. But Ahab surrounded himself with false prophets willing to tell the king whatever he wanted to hear. A true prophet would have been willing to tell the king the difficult truth and...

As we continue in Chapter 21 you will see the wickedness of King Ahab. He was extremely wicked and probably one of the most evil kings to reign. He was immature and with the help of his equally evil wife Jezebel, they killed a man and took his land just so the king could have a vegetable garden close to his house! God pronounced judgement on Ahab and his family line. Ahab turned in repentance and...

After our brief intermission with Elijah and Elisha, we’re returning to the kings. We are going to look at Ben Hadad. He was an evil king who came against King Ahab of Israel. Notice that even though Israel was rebellious, they were still a nation that belonged to God and therefore, under His protection. Israel was severely outnumbered against Ben Hadad of Syria and in the natural, would have been...

Join us today as we go over this short, but important lesson from Elisha. You will go over the interesting way Elijah transferred his prophetic office to Elisha. Also, you’ll see the four places Elisha followed Elijah to and their deeper meanings. Notice how Elisha was determined to follow Elijah and how he refused to take his eyes off what he was supposed to do and didn’t want to be distracted, e...

Continuing this week we look into a king who just wouldn’t repent and eventually paid the price. You’ll see as we go, the line of Ahab and Jezebel being systematically wiped out, according to the word of the Lord. The evil that came thru Ahab and Jezebel’s family line would continue to spread like a cancer and needed to be wiped out. You will see the long-suffering and goodness of God. He was, and...

Today, we are going to look at Elijah and his confrontation with Ahab and the evil prophets. You’ll see that even in the most evil and corrupt times, God always has people behind the scenes who are faithful to Him! I love that! You will follow Elijah through his ordeal and learn some little known facts along the way! After the Lord sends fire and burns Elijah’s offering and he has the spectacular...

Today you and I are going to go over the reign of Ahab. He reigned, along with Jezebel his wife, for 22 years. Sadly, he was more wicked than all the kings before him. You will dive into Jezebel and how her name today is synonymous with being unfaithful and wicked. There are actually four things today that makes a person a “jezebel”. One, she will teach false doctrine. Secondly, she will be a mani...

As you study with us today, you may be asking yourself why we study kings and their deeds in the Bible. Holy Spirit has inspired all scripture and these are no different. They are to teach us lessons and help us overcome obstacles we may face in life. Also, they are to be looked at and studied through the lens of Jesus Christ and the New Covenant. As we go through the kings today, ask yourself wha...
