Part 4

Pull Down The High Places

"He removed the high places, and brake the images, cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made for the children of Israel: for unto these days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and called it Nehushtan."
(2 Kings 18 vs.4)

Hezekiah pulled down the altars that were established when the children of Israel came into Canaan.

When the brazen serpent was first introduced, it was made to deliver and save the children of Israel from death but it was not to remain after fulfilling its purpose.

God speaks and revelation is progressive . You should always seek a word and a revelation for today. The brazen serpent was introduced during Moses' time as an instruction from God but during the time of Hezekiah it had become part of the Israelites' idolatry as they were now worshipping it.

Never do something God has not instructed you to do. Seek God for today and when you receive an instruction, do not turn it into doctrine. (Mannna was always for that day)

 Each day he should reveal himself again  and again to you . I have a duty to pull down anything that exalts itself above the knowledge of Christ. Our responsibility is to point men to Christ. Its not about man but God  ,lets not stick to unnecessary religous acts and practices.

The hardest thing as a minister is to seek God for a fresh word and leave the old, usual approach. Pharisees missed Jesus because they stuck to old tradition. Don't miss God.

Remember, the brazen serpent in the time of Moses was set up as an instruction from God but in the time of Hezekiah, it had become idolatry.

God bless you.

Apostle Humphrey
