For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek after the God of David his father. And in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherahs, and the carved images, and the molten images. And they broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence. And he cut down the images which were on high above them, and the Asherahs. And the carved images and the molten images he also broke in pieces and made dust from them, and scattered on the graves of the ones who had sacrificed to them. And he burned the bones of the priests on their altars and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 34:3-5
Josiah was a small boy when he started to ponder his heart on scriptures of living God; this made him realize the problems and the sinful nature of his people. There was a need of purification which he started to realize after reading the scripture for almost four years from eight year to twelfth year. This gives us a key which we need to understand the key is wait upon the Lord God till your receive anointing. Josiah waited for four years, Jacob waited for fourteen years, and Moses waited for forty years. There is a specific time decided by God to manifest himself in us.
Our obedience and honesty decides the level of impartation and anointing of Holy Spirit in our lives. Jesus Christ first preached when he was thirty years old, though he was son of GOD and son of Man, he still waited with obedience and honesty for the fulfilment of God’s Plan. The testing of faith in furnace of temptations and hardships is bound to happen in every believer’s life. What is most important is that we have faith with patience as a fruit of Holy Spirit in our lives. I got carried away at the display of Holy Spirit gift in Anointed Man and Women of GOD on television programmes. This shows only one side of the coin, the other side is obedience and honesty with faith in Jesus Christ.
To wait upon the Lord for being renewed in him is very necessary for every believer to progress in Christian life.
In book of Daniel, three men were decreed by King Nebuchadnezzar due to wrath, to be put into furnace. Faith with patience was manifested by Holy Spirit in three men, If it is so that our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, then He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods nor worship the golden image which you have set up. Pray in Spirit to have faith like them in the beginning of end times, so that we may receive the victory in our lives, thorough Jesus Christ name. Amen!
But the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned,
YESHUA HA MASIHACH is COMING soon! HALLELUIAH!
