1. Dog Days of Summer
                          
Well that time of year is here.
Some think that the expression "Dog Days" is because the heat makes the dogs miserable and more  lazy.
(Dogs are smart enough not to overdo things on stifling hot days.)
Most likely the expression comes from the star Sirius (the Dog star) which is at it's brightest around this time of year.
For more information visit Wilkipedia.
                 

Speaking of the stars;
at the end of this month, Aug 28
there will be a lunar eclipse.


For more information visit the NASA site.

2. Scripture
        
       Ezekiel

1:3  The  word  of  the  LORD  came  expressly unto Ezekiel the
priest,  the  son  of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the
river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
 
2:2  And the Spirit entered into me, when He spake unto me, and
set me upon my feet, that I heard Him that spake unto me.

3:1 Moreover He said unto me, Son of man eat that thou findest;
and eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.


3. Ezekiel

Review.

Because  it  has  been  a  little  while
since we have done any lessons  in  our  Ezekiel  Bible Study;
I thought we would do a summary review this month.
That is one reason there are 3 verses in our Scripture  section today. 

These are 2 methods you can review all of our lessons
in detail, on Ezekiel thus far:
1. Visit our archives (Back Issues Newsletter group)
2. Visit our Ezekiel Bible Study blog

Anyway here is my summary review.

Ezekiel was a priest in captivity in
Babylon.  Since  priests  were  to do their priestly duties in
regards  to  he temple and temple sacrifices, Ezekiel no longer
was useful as a priest but God did not forget him while in this
foreign strange land called Babylon.
God  began  to  speak  to Ezekiel and suddenly Ezekiel became a
prophet.  (After  a few visions of the Lord God almighty in all
of His Holiness.)
Ezekiel's name means God strengthens.
Ezekiel needed the Holy Spirit to stand him back up after being
overwhelmed by His first vision of God.
Ezekiel  would  also  need  God's strengh to do the Lord's work
because  God  told Ezekiel that the Israelites were going to be
stubborn  and  refuse  to listen but Ezekiel should preach what
God said.
Praise  God  we  have  the  Holy Bible, the Word of God and the
power  of  the Holy Spirit to back us up when we share the Good
News  of  Jesus  Christ.  If you feel like you are lacking that
power  then  study  God's Word more and seek more of God's Holy
Ghost. Read Acts chapters 1 and 2.
The  roll, the scroll Ezekiel was to eat had mournings and woes
inside and out.  This shows that Ezekiel was to make God's Word
a part of himself and preach God's Word even though it is often
time unpopular.
I  would  like to end this review with a prayer similar to what
was  at  the end of my last lesson on Ezekiel.  It seems to me
these are the kind of prayers that need to be prayed more often
by  Christians,  churches,  pastors,  evangelists  and  all who
desire to see God's light overcome the wickedness of our times.
This prayer is only a suggestion.
Those of you who are filled by the Holy Spirit and have already
experiences in spiritual warfare will know what to pray.
Please forward this message to your friends and family!
Ok now for our closing prayer.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray that every reader of this lesson will heed to your Word,
eat  (absorb)  your  Word into their spirit and boldly proclaim
your Word to those around them.
I  ask that by your Holy Spirit, you inspire those who read his
lesson  to  go  proclaim  this  message  and  all  of your Word
boldly.  I  also  pray  as this lesson is copied and forwarded
that it will touch many hearts.
Our Loving Heavenly Father,
We pray for America.
We pray that your anointing will come upon preachers, teachers,
and all Christians;  that as we live for you, we will be bolder
through  the  power  of the Holy Ghost to proclaim ALL of God's
Word around us.
Father,
Please  stir  many up to be intercessors and proclaim what they
hear  from  God  before  it  is  too  late for our country, our
society.
Loving Father,
We  thank you that there is sill hope and that you will answerd
us  as  we  ask these hings in faith, trusting and believing in
You.
We pray all of this in Jesus Name.
AMEN!
