The Latter glory of this house will be greater[charismatic CAUCUS]

Isaiah’s Commission 6 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.

9 ‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘and in this place I shall give [the ultimate] peace and prosperity,’ declares the Lord of hosts.”

60 “Arise [from spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the Lord]; for your light has come, And the glory and brilliance of the Lord has risen upon you.

“For in fact, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness will cover the peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you [Jerusalem] And His glory and brilliance will be seen on you.

“Lift up your eyes around you and see; They all gather together, they come to you. Your sons will come from far away, And your daughters will be looked after at their side.

“Then you will see and be radiant, And your heart will tremble [with joy] and rejoice Because the abundant wealth of the seas will [a]be brought to you, The wealth of the nations will come to you.

“A multitude of camels [from the eastern trading tribes] will cover you [Jerusalem], The young camels of Midian and Ephah; All those from Sheba [who once came to trade] will come Bringing gold and frankincense And proclaiming the praises of the Lord.

“All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you [as the eastern pastoral tribes join the trading tribes], The rams of Nebaioth will serve you; They will go up with acceptance [as sacrifices] on My altar, And I will glorify the house of My honor and splendor.

“The islands and coastlands will confidently wait for Me; And the ships of Tarshish will come first, To bring your sons from far away, Their silver and gold with them, For the name of the Lord your God, For the Holy One of Israel because He has glorified you.

“Foreigners will build up your walls, And their kings will serve you; For in My [righteous] wrath I struck you, But in My favor and grace I have had compassion on you.

“Your gates will be open continually; They shall not be shut day or night, So that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations— With their kings led in procession.

“For the nation or the kingdom which will not serve you [Jerusalem] shall perish, And the nations [that refuse to serve] shall be utterly ruined.

Genesis 45:7 (Amplified Bible) 7God sent me before you
to preserve for you a posterity and to continue a
remnant on the earth, to save your lives by a great
escape and save for you many survivors

Zechariah 3:9

9For behold, upon the stone which I have set before
Joshua, upon that one “stone” are seven eyes or facets
[the all-embracing providence of God and the sevenfold
radiations of the Spirit of God]. Behold, I will carve
upon it its inscription, says the Lord of hosts, and I
will remove the iniquity and guilt of this land in a
single day.

Joshua 24 1THEN JOSHUA gathered all the tribes of
Israel to Shechem, and summoned the elders of Israel
and their heads, their judges, and their officers;
they presented themselves before God.

Joshua 24:25-27

So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day,
and made statutes and ordinances for them at Shechem.

26And Joshua wrote these words in the Book of the Law
of God; and he took a great stone and set it up there
under an oak that was in [the court of] the sanctuary
of the Lord.

27And Joshua said to all the people, See, this stone
shall be a witness against us, for it has heard all
the words the Lord spoke to us; so it shall be a
witness against you, lest [afterward] you lie
(pretend) and deny your God.

Joshua 14:8 (Amplified Bible) 8But my brethren who
went up with me made the hearts of the people melt;
yet I wholly followed the Lord my God.

THE ANSWER

Hosea 14 1O ISRAEL, return to the Lord your God, for
you have stumbled and fallen, [visited by calamity]
due to your iniquity. 2Take with you words and return
to the Lord. Say to Him, Take away all our iniquity;
accept what is good and receive us graciously; so will
we render [our thanks] as bullocks [to be sacrificed]
and pay the confession of our lips.(A)

3Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon
horses, neither will we say any more to the work of
our hands [idols], You are our gods. For in You [O
Lord] the fatherless find love, pity, and mercy.

4I will heal their faithlessness; I will love them
freely, for My anger is turned away from [Israel].

5I will be like the dew and the night mist to Israel;
he shall grow and blossom like the lily and cast forth
his roots like [the sturdy evergreens of] Lebanon.

6His suckers and shoots shall spread, and his beauty
shall be like the olive tree and his fragrance like
[the cedars and aromatic shrubs of] Lebanon.

7They that dwell under his shade shall return; they
shall revive like the grain and blossom like the vine;
the scent of it shall be like the wine of Lebanon.

8Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with
idols? I have answered [him] and will regard and watch
over him; I am like a green fir or cypress tree; with
Me is the fruit found [which is to nourish you].

9Who is wise, that he may understand these things?
Prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of the
Lord are right and the [uncompromisingly] just shall
walk in them, but transgressors shall stumble and fall
in them.(B)

Keys to Powerful Living: Overcoming a Critical Spirit Related Topics ◾Judging Others ◾Virtues Learning to Give and Receive God's Grace Do you judge others? Is it easy for you to find fault with those around you? Then beware: Your spiritual life is in danger. A critical attitude can hinder your walk with God and distract you from God's purposes for your life. Why We Judge We judge because of our own selfish interests. For example, we sometimes become critical when comparing ourselves to those around us. We try to find fault in others to prove that we are smarter, better looking, happier or wealthier. But these are selfish reasons. We simply want to feel better about ourselves. We also get critical when others fail to do what we ask, or do not do what we think is right. Often, it is a family member, friend or co-worker who fails to meet our expectations. Our expectations lead to a judgmental attitude. Even our own frustrations can lead to a critical attitude. If life is not turning out the way we desire, we hide our own frustrations by finding fault with others. Judge Not... Finding fault and being critical are some of the easiest things to do. They seem to come naturally to us. But Jesus told us not to judge "lest you be judged" (Matt. 7:1, NASB). We should obey His command. Jesus then explained why a judgmental attitude is so dangerous: "God will be as hard on you as you are on others! He will treat you exactly as you treat them" (v.2). When we judge, we invite judgment upon ourselves. The Bible says that "judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy" (James 2:13). By judging others, we hide our own hypocrisy. For example, when the religious leaders brought a woman to Jesus who had been caught in sexual sin, they wanted to kill her. But Jesus responded, "If any of you have never sinned, then go ahead and throw the first stone at her" (John 8:7). Nobody threw one. God alone reserves the right to judge each person (Romans 14:4). As the Apostle Paul said, "Dear friends, don't try to get even. Let God take revenge. In the Scriptures the Lord says, `I am the one to take revenge and pay them back'" (Romans 12:19). The Cure for Criticism Judgment is very important. The Bible says that "God is a righteous judge" (Psalm 7:11, NASB). The cure for criticism is found in understanding the nature of God's judgment. The Bible says that every person is a sinner. This sin drives a wedge between God and man, and deserves judgment (Romans 3:23; 6:23). Regardless of how "good" we think we are, "all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment" (Isaiah 64:6, NASB). We cannot make up for all the bad things we have done. Left alone, we still deserve God's judgment: death and eternal torment in a place the Bible describes as a "lake of burning sulfur" (Rev. 19:20). Only God could satisfy the judgment against us for our sins. So God sent His Son into the world to pay the price for our sins. Jesus Christ took our judgment on Himself and died in our place. In return, God offers to each person all His blessings -- including eternal life, forgiveness, peace, joy and hope -- provided we acknowledge Jesus as our Lord and Savior. If we truly understood the judgment that we each deserve from God, we would be less inclined to judge others. Giving Grace Instead Have you learned to receive God's grace and mercy? This is the first step to overcoming a critical spirit. If you have never thanked Jesus for paying the penalty you deserve, do so now. Simply repent of your sins and turn your life over to Him (Acts 3:19; Romans 10:9,10). If you know Jesus as your Savior, thank Him for His grace and mercy. Thank Him for forgiving you of your sins. Thank Him for giving you a second chance at life. Now, offer grace and mercy to others, Jesus said, "Freely you received, freely give" (Matt. 10:8, NASB). Instead of judgment, extend God's love to those around you, beginning with your family, your friends and your co-workers. Often those closest to us feel the harshest effects of our judgmental attitudes. From now on when you feel the temptation to become critical, follow Jesus' clear instruction to take a close look at your own life first (Matt. 7). Ask God to forgive you for your sins. You may even discover why you are so critical of others. Remember, it's easy to be critical. The faults of others are often very obvious to us. During these times we need to make sure we give grace instead. Thank God for those people and ask the Lord to bless them and reveal His will to them. It's really quite simple: God has granted you mercy. He has paid the debt for your sins. Now, the only debt you owe is to offer His love and mercy to others, for "mercy triumphs over judgment" (James 2:13; NASB). Finally, be sure to spend time with God in prayer and study the Bible. As you read the Scriptures, ask God to help you to be patient with those around you. In time, you will change from a fault-finder to a grace-giver as you learn to live like Jesus lived. As You Pray If you are a fault-finder, turn to the Lord right now and ask Him to set you free. "Dear Lord Jesus, I'm so sorry for the times when I have allowed judgmental attitudes to rule me. Please forgive me. Help me to remember Your mercy toward me so that I can extend Your mercy to others. Thank You so much for loving me. In Jesus' name. Amen." God's Word on Criticism "Always be humble and gentle. Patiently put up with each other and love each other. Try your best to let God's Spirit keep your hearts united. Do this by living in peace" Eph. 4:2,3.
