Don’t Fight Against the Lord

Zechariah | Chapter 14:11-15 Pt. I ~ Episode 940:

If you see these terrible things happening or these strange things happening, of course you're going to cry out for God. But, the Lord has a way of using His refining fire to reveal what's already in that person's heart. Everybody does not love the Lord. When hard times come, not everyone is going to turn to Him; but instead they will choose to curse him. For the people who were fighting against the Lord at Jerusalem, they aren't blind or unaware. Just like Pharaoh and Egypt, he knew who God was; and when the fire or the the heat the the heat to purify him came, instead of humbling himself, purifying his heart, cleansing his hands, and confessing that Jesus is Lord, he hardened his heart. He resisted the Lord because that was what was in his heart.
