‘We
Should Not Refuse The Lord.’
Isaiah
7:10-13.
a) Isaiah 7:10. The Lord sent a Message to King
Ahaz, (This was obviously through Isaiah)
b) Isaiah 7:11. Ahaz was to ask a sign of
confirmation from the Lord his God. He was to make this request as difficult as
he wanted, as high as Heaven or as deep as the place of the dead.
c) Isaiah 7:12. King Ahaz refused to do it and
said that he would not test the Lord.
d) Isaiah 7:13. Isaiah 7:13. Isaiah was very
frank in his reply to Ahaz. Isaiah said three very pertinent things:-
1- Listen well, you royal family of
David.
2- Isn’t it enough to exhaust human
patience?
3- Must you exhaust the patience of
my God as well?

that I Should Not Refuse The Lord)

‘A Journey Of Faith.’
Acts 20:22.
a) Apostle Paul was going to Jerusalem.
b) He was ‘bound in the Spirit’. (It means that
he had a strong inner compulsion to go from the Holy Spirit)
c) Paul did not know what would befall him there.

me A Journey Of Faith)

The place of the dead
is often referred to as the deep. The deep was a word I heard many times in my
childhood and it meant the bottom of the sea. There was a time when Jesus urged
the Disciples to launch out into the deep. Another way to look at the word ‘deep’
is, with the hymn writer to consider the Love of Christ: ‘Oh the deep deep Love
of Jesus’.
