What is in your House?
What is in your House?
1 En aquellos días Ezequías cayó enfermo de muerte. Y vino a él el profeta Isaías hijo de Amoz, y le dijo: Jehová dice así: Ordena tu casa, porque morirás, y no vivirás.
2 Entonces él volvió su rostro a la pared, y oró a Jehová y dijo:
3 Te ruego, oh Jehová, te ruego que hagas memoria de que he andado delante de ti en verdad y con íntegro corazón, y que he hecho las cosas que te agradan. Y lloró Ezequías con gran lloro.
4 Y antes que Isaías saliese hasta la mitad del patio, vino palabra de Jehová a Isaías, diciendo:
5 Vuelve, y di a Ezequías, príncipe de mi pueblo: Así dice Jehová, el Dios de David tu padre: Yo he oído tu oración, y he visto tus lágrimas; he aquí que yo te sano; al tercer día subirás a la casa de Jehová.
6 Y añadiré a tus días quince años, y te libraré a ti y a esta ciudad de mano del rey de Asiria; y ampararé esta ciudad por amor a mí mismo, y por amor a David mi siervo.
7 Y dijo Isaías: Tomad masa de higos. Y tomándola, la pusieron sobre la llaga, y sanó.
8 Y Ezequías había dicho a Isaías: ¿Qué señal tendré de que Jehová me sanará, y que subiré a la casa de Jehová al tercer día?
9 Respondió Isaías: Esta señal tendrás de Jehová, de que hará Jehová esto que ha dicho: ¿Avanzará la sombra diez grados, o retrocederá diez grados?
1 En aquel tiempo Merodac-baladán hijo de Baladán, rey de Babilonia, envió cartas y presentes a Ezequías; porque supo que había estado enfermo, y que había convalecido.
2 Y se regocijó con ellos Ezequías, y les mostró la casa de su tesoro, plata y oro, especias, ungüentos preciosos, toda su casa de armas, y todo lo que se hallaba en sus tesoros; no hubo cosa en su casa y en todos sus dominios, que Ezequías no les mostrase.
3 Entonces el profeta Isaías vino al rey Ezequías, y le dijo: ¿Qué dicen estos hombres, y de dónde han venido a ti? Y Ezequías respondió: De tierra muy lejana han venido a mí, de Babilonia.
4 Dijo entonces: ¿Qué han visto en tu casa? Y dijo Ezequías: Todo lo que hay en mi casa han visto, y ninguna cosa hay en mis tesoros que no les haya mostrado.
INTRO:
The question can come up when someone looks in your house. When was the last time someone showed up at your house and you were unprepared for visitors? How would you feel if we were all invited to your house right after the service? Would it be in order? What would we find?
1 En aquellos días Ezequías cayó enfermo de muerte. Y vino a él el profeta Isaías hijo de Amoz, y le dijo: Jehová dice así: Ordena tu casa, porque morirás, y no vivirás.
I don’t know about you but 2021 has been a year where I can relate to Hezekiah. Feeling that you are at the point of death.
I Started the year with a 21 day fast! God spoke to me,
I felt his hugs, I spent time with him, I experienced an intimacy with him that I had never experienced before.
I think this how how this year is going to be~
But then:
The leaking in the house destroys half of our house. We have to leave the house. They tear up our home. What is going to happen? How long is this going to take to get fixed?
We go visit my brother in MO and have an assignment from GOD for my younger brother who is in the Navy. The opposition was so strong, I felt like I failed my assignment for him. I come back feeling defeated!
The enemy attacks my mind for weeks and months with the past
Then he attacks my finances.
I experience what anxiety is for the first time in my life.
The 21 day fast with the church. The enemy whispers in my ear… why are you doing this? its meaningless. give up.
The town floods, we go through that crazy horrific event, lose our vehicles. wondering what is going ON?
The enemy wants to attack my marriage with disagreements and arguments.
I begin to see myself like Hezekiah:
Maybe you have gone through or are going through something similar in your life where you feel you are at the precipice of death
You may have felt: I’m not going to make it through this one, I have already failed GOD, There is no other options for me, What is the use,
But I have a word from the Lord today:
SET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER! Because God is getting ready to change your situation around
EVERYTHING you thought was for your death he is using it for GOOD.
It may not seem that way in that moment, but trust, confide, abide in me says the Lord~!
2 Y me hizo sacar del pozo de la desesperación, del lodo cenagoso; Puso mis pies sobre peña, y enderezó mis pasos.
3 Puso luego en mi boca cántico nuevo, alabanza a nuestro Dios. Verán esto muchos, y temerán, Y confiarán en Jehová.
The purpose of your Pain is greater than you, its greater than the pain you are experiencing.
If you could only see the view from up here says the LORD!
The leaking in the house - Remodeled the House!
We go visit my brother in MO - Become an intercessor for my brothers, brother in law, family in OKC~
The enemy attacks my mind for weeks and months with the past - God shows me the power of his forgiveness, Mercy, and Grace in a way I couldn’t comprehend before.
Then he attacks my finances - Lord teaches me to give more, Lord blesses me with increase in my job, just received another raise.
I experience what anxiety is for the first time in my life. - I’m able to understand those going through it now. Pray together with them.
The 21 day fast with the church. - Experienced a new HUNGER for the things of GOD! not just myself but the church.
The town floods,- New car
The enemy wants to attack my marriage - Don’t take for granted what GOD has give you.
Prepare your Heart for what GOD is doing in your life~

2 Entonces él volvió su rostro a la pared, y oró a Jehová y dijo:
There is a parallel that we see from 1 Kings 21 King Ahab (ACAB)
He also receives a word and his response is also to turn his head towards the wall.
The difference was that Hezekiah turns his face towards the wall then begins to pray.
Ahab got a bitter attitude, “I’m not gonna eat anything” He said.
Because it didn’t go my way.
I didn’t get what I prayed for.
I didn’t like the answer I received from the Lord.
So what you ain’t gonna worship him anymore?
5 is the number of grace
5 is also the number of changes
5x5 is grace multiplied
15 is grace x 3 completion of God’s Grace!
15 means rest!
3 = completeness
