08/30/12 - Ezekiel 1 - 4


S - Ezekiel 2: 1  And he said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you."  2 And as he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.  3 And he said to me, "Son of men, I send you to the people of Israel, to nations of rebels, who have rebelled against me.  They and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day.  4 The descendants also are impudent and stubborn: I send you to them, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.'  5 And whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know that a prophet has been among them.  6 And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions.  Be not afraid of their words, not be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.  7 And you shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house.

8  "But you, son of man, hear what I say to you.  Be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you."  9 And when I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me, and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.  10 And he spread it before me, and it had writing on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe.

O - My child whom I love, today I want to tell you . . . I would like to speak with you.  I am sending you to the town of Sanger and specifically to Sanger High School.  You will be my spokesperson on that campus.  I would like for you to speak for me there.  Don't worry what people say about you.  Don't worry about the way that they look at you.  There are some that will scoff.  There are some that will laugh.  There are some that will question you about what you are speaking.  Be strong.  Be brave. Be courageous.  You are a modern day Daniel, my chosen one.  You will open your mouth and I will put words in it for you.  The people there are a rebellious people also.  You will have a hard time getting across to most of them.  Don't worry about them.  I will bring before you the ones to whom I wish you to speak.  You will tell them about me and about the life that they can have in me.

A - This is a serious calling.  I will be bold on my campus and tell people that God can save them.  I must speak to the parents, the teachers and the students.  I must live my life in such a way that it brings up questions from students and teachers to begin conversations in the classroom.  I will meet daily with my Lord and speak to him and listen to what he has to say to me.  I will praise him for all of the struggles that I go through in his name.  

P - Heavenly Father, thank you for the calling that you have placed on my life.  Thank you for placing me where you have.  Forgive me for the years that I have spent there in my own little world, not sharing your message with those around me.  Give me the strength to speak to any who may ask about why I have such a joy in my life, why I have the posters up in my classroom that I do, or why I listen to the music that I choose to listen to.  Speak through me when the opportunity comes to answer those questions.  Help me be your disciple on my campus.
