GIG264 The Bread We Know Not Of
Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Title: The Bread We Know Not Of Web Description: Is it really possible to run without getting tired or to walk without becoming weary? That is not our normal experience, but it is God’s. He is never weary or tired, and He promises to give us His strength if we wait on Him. Christ knew how to do this. The food that sustained Him was in His connection to the Father, and we are connected to the Father through Him. Isn’t it time for us to learn how to draw from Him? Show Notes: Isaiah 40 contains a familiar passage about waiting on the Lord. This...

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave

GIG258 Pray From Fulfillment
Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Title: Pray From Fulfillment Web Description: If someone gives you a plate of delicious food, do you still pray, “God, give me food! Where is the food You promised me?” No, you just take it and say, “Thank you.” Yet even though God has already given us everything, we pray as if we have not received it. We need to change that way of praying. We need to shift our focus from this realm and dwell in the spirit realm where God’s Word is already fulfilled and then pray from that place. Show Notes: When you pray, are you asking as someone who...

GIG256 Understanding Revelation and Deception About Israel
Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Web Description: As the apostle Paul warned, we are in danger when we exchange the truth for a lie. Yet there are many in America who are doing just that. Rejecting reason and obvious facts, they actively promote lies about Israel and even call for its destruction. This is the ultimate foolishness because the forces plotting Israel’s destruction are the same forces plotting America’s destruction. It is time to wake up. Show Notes: Recent events in the United States are extremely concerning. A Jewish couple was gunned down to shouts of “free...
info_outlineGrowing In God Podcast
Web Description: The book of Zechariah records the specific day on which Zechariah’s prophecy was voiced. This emphasizes the significance of this prophecy and how much we should be expecting God to fulfill His Word in our day. We look eagerly for the fulfillment of these promises of God’s blessings on Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. This is the day they come to pass.
Show Notes: The prophecy of Zechariah is one of the greatest messianic prophecies that we have. And in Zechariah 1:7, we are given the exact day when that prophecy came. The significance of this became very real as we recorded this podcast on the very same date approximately 2,548 years later. God was making a point by naming the specific day when the prophecy was voiced. Every year on that date we are reminded that there is a day when that prophecy will be fulfilled. Today could be that day.
There is no reason that today cannot be that day because we are seeing the fulfillment of the Word of the Lord over His land and over His people. Zechariah’s prophecy records God declaring to the nations, “For while I was only a little angry, they furthered the disaster. Therefore … I will return to Jerusalem with compassion.” However, He will “throw down the horns of the nations who have lifted up their horns against the land of Judea.” Today we see the nations gathered against Israel like never before. And today could be the fulfillment of this prophecy that God’s justice will be revealed against the nations who have sought to destroy Israel.
Jeremiah’s prophecy, stamped by God with a date, is about the return of the Lord. And as we see God’s blessing return to the land of Israel, we can look with anticipation for the coming of Messiah who will dwell in their midst and “possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.” This can be the day that it comes to pass.
Key Verses:
• Zechariah 1:1–6. “In accordance with our ways and our deeds, so He has dealt with us.”
• Zechariah 1:7–21. “The LORD will again comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem.’”
• Zechariah 2:1–13. “The LORD will possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.”
Quotes:
• “The land of Judah, by the way, is known as the West Bank. The Lord will possess the West Bank as His portion in the Holy Land and will again choose Jerusalem.”
• “The Lord of hosts will bring His hosts with Him to bring justice and judgment into the world. And I believe that it's the time.”
• “We bless Jerusalem. We bless Israel. We bless the Jewish people. And we believe that it's time for the return of the Lord. We believe that it's time, as it says in verse 11, ‘Many nations will join themselves to the Lord in that day and will become My people.’”
Takeaways:
1. The time when Zechariah made his prophecy is time-stamped with a precise date, to the very day. It came on a specific day, and it will be fulfilled on a specific day. That day could be today.
2. Zechariah prophesied that God will bless Judah and Israel and deal with the nations who used His discipline of His people as an excuse for destruction. Today, when the nations could not be more against Israel and the Jewish people, could be the day this prophecy is fulfilled.
3. This is a prophecy about the reign of Messiah, about God turning to His people as they turn to Him, about many nations joining themselves to the Lord, and about God repossessing the land of Judah and Israel and taking Jerusalem as the holy city. We look for these things to come to pass.
