Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “‘Are not Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? So it shall be that whatever you hear from the King’s house, you shall report to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. Behold their two sons are with them there, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them you shall send me everything that you hear.’ So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city.” 2 Samuel 15:35-37 By following King David’s word, to return to Jeru

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Now behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God. The king said to Zadok, ‘Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the sight of the Lord, then He will bring me back again and show me both it and His habitation. See, I am going to wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.’ Therefore Zadok and Abiathar retu

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “So David reigned over all Israel; and David administered justice and righteousness for all his people. Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army, and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder. Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, and Seriah was secretary.” 2 Samuel 8:15-17 I’ll just say, right off the top, the insight I get about Zadok for my life in this text is this: If you are a faithful pries

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Then David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and said to them, ‘You are the heads of the father’s households of the Levites; consecrate yourselves both you and your relatives, that you may bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place that I have prepared for it.’” 1 Chronicles 15:11-12 The next time Zadok appears in Scripture is here, when the now ruling king David was preparing to bring the ark of the covenant

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from Me, shall come near to Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me.” Ezekiel 44:15 From this portion of Ezekiel, it appears that the only priestly family from the entire Levitical priesthood, who remained loyal to God, when “the sons of Israel went astray from Me,” was “the sons of Zadok.” This is not su

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from Me, shall come near to Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me.” Ezekiel 44:15 There had been a falling away from God by the people and priesthood of Israel, with only the Levitical family of “the sons of Zadok” remaining faithful. These loyal-to-God sons of Zadok were rewarded by God for their faithfu

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house. Then I heard one speaking to me from the house.” Ezekiel 43:5-6 Here is yet another great and awesome reason for all true Christians everywhere to embrace and realize their own priesthood to God - because God speaks “from the house.” If we truly desire to hear our God, then there is no better thing for us to do and pla

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house. Then I heard one speaking to me.” Ezekiel 43:5-6 If we truly desire to hear the voice of our Lord speaking words of life to us, o priest of God, then let us allow the Holy Spirit to lift us up and bring us into the inner court where we will assuredly behold the glory of the Lord filling the house. For it is here, in God’

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house.” Ezekiel 43:5 What a beautiful progression the Holy Spirit unfolds for us through Ezekiel’s words here. Ezekiel, himself, was a priest of God, who subsequently received a prophetic call from God. So Ezekiel, in many ways, was the perfect prophet and spokesperson for God, to call God’s people towards a truly holy inner

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house” Ezekiel 43:5 When we follow the Holy Spirit’s leading, to go into our inner court, as priests ministering to our Lord, we are blessed to “behold, the glory of the Lord.” Yes, let the Spirit of God within you lift you up into your inner court and you will “Behold,” which means “Look at this!” Yes, you will behold the gl
