INSIGHTS & NOTES FROM
CHAPTER 19
"PATTERNS TO FOLLOW" "...church ...It is to be a house of purity, prayer, power & perfected praise." "The Spirit of God longs to teach you to walk in the yoke He has fitted for you." "There is always the agony of choice before the promise of change. Therefore, we must consciously, deliberately choose to go on with God." CHAPTER 20 "FOR TEN'S SAKE" "God is birthing a prayer revival - not a doctrine, not a teaching built around the charisma of men, but a spirit of intercession that is invading the lives of His people." "Towering thunderheads of divine wrath loom on the horizon, & prophetic rumblings of impending calamity reverberate throughout the land." "The Prevailing Ignorance of the Unrighteous" Genesis 18:24, 26 "...Abraham reverently pled with God for the city's welfare" "Would the Lord destroy the city if there were forty-five righteous? Forty righteous? Thirty? Twenty?" "'Would the Lord destroy the city if He found ten righteouse there?' And God answered, 'I will not destroy it for ten's sake' (Gen. 18:32)." "The entire city could have been spared for the sake of ten righteous people within its walls, indeed, only Lot, the one righteous man in Sodom, & his family were saved (Gen. 19:16)." "It is not the presence of evil which brings the mercy & long-suffering of God to an end, rather, it is the absence of good." "The Preserving Influence of the Righteous" "The haughty enemies of God who undervalue & persecute those who live 'soberly, righteously, & godly in this present world' are also unaware of the preserving influence of the righteous (Titus 2:12)." "Remember: God would have spared Sodom for the sake of ten." "...in God's eyes, ten righteous people would have been sufficient cause to spare Sodom." "The Purposeful Intercession of the Remnant" "The Spirit sometimes inspires people to pray by showing them things to come. God reveals His intentions to His friends, thus inviting their intercession." "God is bound by His nature & by His covenant with mankind." "...pled God's perfect justice" "The Powerful Impact of the Righteous" II Chronicles 7:14 Ezekiel 22:30, 31 "The church is sometimes prone to measure influence by numbers & nickels. But we cannot use our arithmetic to estimate the impact of the righteous; God saves by many or by few." "God will not allow this nation to destroy itself if His people will repent over the sins of our nation & seek His face. If we will pray, destruction will be averted & judgment can be turned." "May the pledge of God Himself echo in our ears & drive us to our knees: 'I will not destroy it for ten's sake!'" Could You Not Tarry One Hour?, by Larry Lea, pgs. 177 - 188.
