God's Instructions

by Walk the Talk Ministries

Overview

It has been noted that anyone who reads and hears everything written in this book, may result in changes in their understanding, finances, health and anyone around them. This book was not written so you can read and hear about all the miracles God did for me. On the contrary, this book was written solely with the purpose of what God can and will do for you. The instructions written in this book, are not written so you can read and hear about how God answered my prayers, needs and wants. The instructions written in this book are all about how God can and will answer all of your prayers, needs and wants, today, tomorrow and forever. It wasn't until I took the time to read and hear God's instructions to make all of this possible and not impossible. In Mat. 19: 26, God's word says, "With God all things are possible." And my life has never been the same. If you are not happy with the way your life is going or something has been missing and you can quite put your finger on it. You are closer than you think. Your first step, is this book in your hands and only you can change all of this right now; I can't do it for You. If you take the time to read and hear what God has in these instructions for you, your life will never be the same.

I Love you in the Lord always

Chapter One

Lesson 1 A Change of Faith:

JAMES 5: 16 "Confess your faults one to another. and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avileth much."

There are many deferent ways that people choose to confess their faults to one another, but it's not as Important as to how they deal with it; and that's where prayer comes in. Effectual = Producing the effect desired or intended, it must be valid, sound, good or just.

Fervent = Seriousness, earnest, and driving. When a prayer comes from our heart it makes all the deference especially if there are two or three in agreement.

JAMES 5: 17-18 "Eli'as was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: And it rained not of the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, And the heaven gave rain, And the earth brought forth her fruit."

It said that Elijah prayed earnestly. God hears our prayers, but will He answer them like He did for Elijah? Let's see what Elijah did for God to fulfill his prayer shall we?

1 KINGS 17:1 "And Elijah the Tishbit, who was of the inhabitants of Gil'ead, said unto Ahab, as the lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word."

Or until I say differently; note where Elijah said, (years) he was in it for the long all. King Ahab did evil in the sight of the Lord and did more to provoke Him to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him. Elijah means "Yahweh is God" a significant name in a time when Baal (sun god) worship threatened to extinguish the worship of Yahweh (God) in Israel.

1 KINGS 17: 2-3 "And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Che'rith, that is before Jordan."

Cherith = A stream in Gilead, east of Jordan. Do you think the Lord had Elijah hide himself to see if he was who he said he was or to protect him from Ahab?

1 KINGS 17:4 "And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there."

Sometimes God does things differently than the way we think He's going to do them. Here God is using ravens or unclean animals to feed Elijah a man of God.

1 KINGS 17: 5-7 "So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord: for he went and dwelt by the brook Che'rith, that is before Jordan. And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook. And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land."

Elijah did according unto the word of Lord. What do you think would happen if he chose not to? When we choose to do according unto the word of the Lord, it's not to get what we want, it's because the only way to the Father and eternal life is by His word.

1 KINGS 17: 8-9 "And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zar'ephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee."

Zarephath = A town on the Mediterranean coast between Tyre and Sidon. Here again Elijah was being tested. Many widows were in Israel in those days,but God sent Elijah unto an unsaved widow woman who was not Jewish instead.

1 KINGS 17: 10-12 "So he arose and went to Zar'ephath. And he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die."

The famine had extended this far north and the widow was preparing her last meal. Do you think the widow woman had a effectual fervent prayer of her own? In Jam.4: 2 God's word says, "Ye lust and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not." Just like Elijah, God waited for the brook to dry up before sending him somewhere else. There are times when we do for the Lord and it's not until the eleventh hour or until we ask, before He makes a way.

1 KINGS 17: 13-16 "And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. For thus saith he Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth. And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she and he, and her house, did eat many days, And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by Elijah."

Did Elijah use what God gave him? If God can use ravens to feed Elijah, why not an unsaved widow woman to sustain him? She had a place for him to sleep; water to drink along with oil and flour to feed him with. What would you need to be sustained?

1 KINGS 17: 17-18 "And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him. And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?"

The mother thought her son had died because of a sin she had committed in her past. But God took the only thing she put first in her life; to change her faith. God will use the very thing that takes our eyes off of Him to see if we are who we say we are.

1 KINGS 17: 19-21 "And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. And he cried unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son? And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again."

Key note: When you raise someone from the dead you must ask God for the soul to come back into them again.

1 KINGS 17: 22-24 "And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth. And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth."

Most people seek God when they have a need or want and once God fufills their need or want they forget about Him. It wasn't enough for her faith to change when God provided food for her, her son, and Elijah. God had to take the only thing that really mattered to her, (her son) so she can get her eyes back onto Him. Not only was her child saved from death, but the truth made her free. (True salvation.)

New story:

2 Kings 5: 1-2 "Now Na'aman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valor, but he was a leper. And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Na'aman's wife."

Remember in Lk.22: 25-26 when Jesus said unto them, "The kings of the gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chife, as he that doth serve." To someone who was Jewish a gentile is anyone who was not Jewish and was concidered unclean, because their blood was mixed and not pure like them.

2 KINGS 5: 3-4 "And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! For He would recover him of his leprosy. And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel."

God can use you no matter where you are; weather you are being fed by unclean animals, being sustained by a widow woman or a servant to a leper. It's God's will that is done not mans.

2 KINGS 5: 5-7 "And the king of Syria said, Go to, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment. And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Na'aman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy. And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send me to recover a man of his leprosy? Wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me."

In Lk. 12: 34 Jesus said, "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Do you think God will make a way to change the king of Israel's faith?

2 KINGS 5: 8 "And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel."

Here we see that God is using another gentile to change the faith of the king of Israel and all who followed him. Elisha had a double portion and mantel of Elijah and was a man of God or seer in those days for anyone who sought God.

2 KINGS 5: 9-11 "So Na'aman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the house of Elisha. And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. But Na'aman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper."

See how God does things His way and not the way we think He's going to do it.

2 KINGS 5: 12-13 "Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? May I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away In a rage. And his servants came near, and spoke unto him, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? How much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?"

Again the work of a servant is never done. Sometimes a handycap or illness is used like a crutch to support their cause; here God uses Na'man's servant to correct him.

2 KINGS 5: 14-15 "Then went he down, and down, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel:"

The faith of Na'aman was changed just like the widow woman. Do you think that the faith of the king of Israel had changed because of what God did to the leper? Or do you think that God would have to deal with him like He did with the widow woman?

LUKE 4: 14-19 "And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of Him through all the region round about. And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up: and, as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto Him the book of the prophet Esa'ias. And when He opened the book, He found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord."

Jesus stoped reading in the middle of Isa. 61: 2 a, since at His first coming He preached only the acceptable year of the Lord. (V. 19) The day of vengeance of our God, Isa. 61: 2 b, was reserved for his second coming. Long suffering and the cross are associated with His first coming. Judgment and a crown are associated with His second coming.

LUKE 4: 20-23 "And He closed the book, and He gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And all eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on Him. And He began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. And all bare Him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? And He said unto them, Ye will surely say unto Me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: what soever we have heard done in Caper'- naum, do also here in thy country."

Was there a change that needed to take place here? When Jesus read and spoke the word of the Lord unto all of them who were there, Did it not make them look onto Him for more? Why were they still looking for a sign? Just like the widow woman, even when God provided her, her son and Elijah with food, water and shelter to sustain them; she still needed a sign for her faith, eyes and heart to change.

LUKE 4: 24-30 "And He said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in His own country. But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Eli'as, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; But unto none of them was Eli'as sent, save unto Sarep'ta, a city of Si'don, unto a woman that was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elise'us the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Na'aman the Syrian. And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, And rose up, and thrust Him out of the city, and led Him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast Him down headlong. But He passing through the midst of them went His way."

Without faith how effectual or fervent can our prayers be? Jesus was telling them if the faith of a gentile or unsaved person could be changed; so could their faith be changed, because the kingdom of God was at hand. Amen ...

Lesson 2 What Soweth You?

HOSEA 10: 12 "Sow to yourselves in righteous, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till He come and rain righteousness upon you."

Sow = To scatter seed for growth, to project or teach. The seed that God is talking about here is His word; because the truth shall make you free. (Jn. 8: 32) In Psa. 126: 5-6 God's word says, "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." The sheaves we bring with us is the cross we bear when we do for Him and not me, myself and I. Sometimes the truth hurts when we don't want to let go, or stop doing something. When we no longer want to do the things we use to do and no longer want to put anything before God such as idols or anything that takes our eyes off of Him; this is a sacrifice He will receive openly because He also weepeth when He is bearing precious seed. This doesn't mean we give up our husband, wife or children for God, it means we have to change our priority or what we put first.

HOSEA 10: 13 "Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men."
