First Chronicles 12, 12, and the Sons of Isikar, the Sons of Isikar, who understood the times

and knew what Israel should do.

The Sons of Iskar understood the times and knew what to do. The sons of his car understood the times and knew what to do. We must

understand the times we are in if we are to know what to do. Moses had to

understand the times he was in to know what he was to do.

Elijah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Paul, and to understand, we must understand where we are

if we are to know what to do and how to stand for such a time as this.

You are an important ministry and you are an uncompromised ministry and you need to know the

times and that's what I'm going to share much as

happens as I was last year on a Wednesday night of great significance. What are the

times we live in? We sing these are the days of Elijah. These are the days of Elijah, but the days of

Elijah weren't just days of miracles. They were days of a nation that had once known

God but had turned away from him, turned inside itself at war against its own

foundation. Ancient Israel was founded by God for his glory, yet in the midst of its blessings it forgot God, turned away from

God and drove him out of its public squares, drove him out of its culture, brought in

gods and idols, and began to call what was evil good and what was good evil.

They performed or they actually profaned what was sacred and they sanctified what was

profane. They celebrated immorality. They offered up their children

as sacrifices to the gods. There have only been two civilizations in human history that were founded solely for the purposes of God.

The first was called Israel. The second was called America.

America was founded by the Puritans to be a city on a hill, to be a civilization that existed

for the glory of God.
