2Chronicles 28, a hardened heart!

2Ch 28:1-3, Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king… and HE DID NOT DO WHAT WAS RIGHT IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD… FOR HE WALKED IN THE WAYS OF THE KINGS OF ISRAEL, and MADE MOLDED IMAGES FOR THE BAALS. He BURNED INCENSE IN THE VALLEY OF THE SON OF HINNOM, AND BURNED HIS CHILDREN IN THE FIRE, …

He sacrificed his children to Molech a pagan, demon, so called god? ABORTION!

2Ch 28:5, Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria…

Judah was attacked by Syria, Edomites, Philistines;

2Ch 28:19, FOR THE LORD BROUGHT JUDAH LOW BECAUSE OF AHAZ KING OF ISRAEL, FOR HE HAD ENCOURAGED MORAL DECLINE IN JUDAH AND HAD BEEN CONTINUALLY UNFAITHFUL TO THE LORD. 

THIS IS A PERFECT DESCRIPTION OF OUR COUNTRY. FOR WE SACRIFICES TO MOLECH BY WAY OF ABORTION! OUR COUNTRY IS IN THE STATE OF MORAL DECLINE WHERE GOOD IS NOW BAD AND BAD IS NOW GOOD!

2Ch 28:22, Now in the time of his distress King Ahaz BECAME INCREASINGLY UNFAITHFUL TO THE LORD. This is that King Ahaz. 

Trials are designed to bring you closer to GOD, yet it drives others away! Which are you?

Psa 18:6, IN MY DISTRESS I CALLED UPON THE LORD, AND CRIED OUT TO MY GOD; HE HEARD MY VOICE FROM HIS TEMPLE, AND MY CRY CAME BEFORE HIM, EVEN TO HIS EARS. 

Rom 2:5, BUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR HARDNESS AND YOUR IMPENITENT HEART YOU ARE TREASURING UP FOR YOURSELF WRATH IN THE DAY OF WRATH AND REVELATION OF THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT OF GOD, 

GUARD YOUR HEART AND SUBMIT TO GOD; IN TRIALS SEEK HIM AND HE SHALL GIVE YOU STRENGTH! THE HARDENING OF YOUR HEART WILL ONLY BRING WRATH UPON YOU!
