What does your soul yearn for? What are you passionate about? Is it God? It can be. Your relationship with God can be the most precious, meaningful part of your life. True relationship with God is like no other relationship. It is communion with the Almighty God who is powerful enough to create the entire universe out of nothing, yet knows each one of us personally, loves each of us intimately. How is that even possible? It is true! It is the most fantastic miracle!

We find ourselves in a similar place today. We have forgotten about God. Very few people worship Him, and even fewer have any knowledge of what His holy Scriptures say. We have not taught our children about truth. God’s message to Josiah through the prophetess Huldah is also relevant to us today. I do believe God’s judgment is coming and He is “going to bring disaster on this place and its people.” (v.16)

We aren’t crazy. The Holy Spirit REALLY is working powerfully. It is so exciting and marvelous to be a part of it. This is why I continue to grow bolder about it as I’ve shared more and more here. I can no longer be silent. And you shouldn’t be either. We serve a MIGHTY GOD!

But God’s timing is not our timing. These ‘gods’ that rule this world “know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness.” (v.5) They “will die like mere mortals;” and “fall like every other ruler.” (v.7) Only God’s reign lasts for all eternity. Only God is LORD over ALL.

When I was ten years old, I had a prophetic dream that I believe describes what is happening to us today. I knew it was important when I had this dream as a child almost 45 years ago. I still remember it vividly and have told many people about it over the years. I never thought it was something I would see happen in my lifetime. When the COVID lockdowns and mask mandates began hitting us last year, I knew that my dream was coming true.

In Acts 26, Paul tells his personal testimony to King Agrippa and his entire court. What an amazing situation! Had the Jews not rioted and plotted to kill Paul, he never would have been able to share his miraculous story with this royal audience.

But Paul’s time in prison gave him the opportunity to do something extremely important… write letters. He had no time to write letters when he was on the road traveling and preaching every day. But now he had nothing but time, and no other way to communicate to all of those churches he had planted except via letters.

This is coach God — training us, encouraging us, directing us. Those of us following coach God aren’t disillusioned when the troubles come. We are trained up and prepared. We resolutely continue marching on.

Many of the things that happened to the Israelites in the Old Testament are physical representations of what is spiritually true today. In Psalm 80, Israel is described as a vine transplanted from Egypt. God “cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.” (v.8-9) This vine imagery points to Jesus, who called Himself the true vine.
