Shadows Part 7

Shadows part 7: Step Up

Main Passage: 2 Kings 9&10

Picking from last week : Fighting Jezebel
- One Way: Trust in the lord only
- How Elijah fought it. ( Prov . 29:25; 3:5)

The Other Way: Fight with the Lord's boldness
- this is how Jehu fought it. (2 Kings 9:30-37)

Jumping back to the beginning for Jehu

It began with his Anointing:
to dedicate tot e service of God.

The three stages Jehu went though

       Receive anointing and call from God (2 Kings 9:1-10)
       Accepting His anointing ( 2 Kings 9:11-13)
       Walked in the anointing and calling that you were given (2 Kings 9:14-29; 10:1-10:28)

             To truly walk in the anointing of God Jehu had to clean house.

Quick Point: no matter how tough the opponent seems in your path, you can fight and conquer it with the help of the Lord.

Two influences in this process for Jehu:
-He was from Royal line ( Jehu son of Jehoshaphat )
-He had good people around him to encourage him

Final Point: We study history not only to make the mistake of the past but also to continue in the success of the past.
