15th strategy.
Imagine

• Prepare your heart - that means ask Him to open you to be able to listen well.
• Ask Jesus to bring you into the very presence of God Himself as you read instructions
• Imagine the characters in this passage.
• Are they facing a large enemy? or a challenge? 
• Have they followed God? or have they fled from His guidance?
• Are they trusting God?
• Are they experiencing pain, or loss?
• Imagine them as friends.
• What would you do if you were there beside them?
• Would you be willing to encourage them?
• What would you do if you were experiencing their story?
• Who would you turn to for guidance? God? A mentor? Satan?
• Ask God to show you how to lean on Him in times of attack, or challenge.
• Thank God for His presence with you right now.

10. "On that day," says the LORD, "a cry of alarm will come from the Fish Gate and echo throughout the New Quarter of the city. And a great crash will sound from the hills. 
​11. Wail in sorrow, all you who live in the market area, for all the merchants and traders will be destroyed.

12 "I will search with lanterns in Jerusalem's darkest corners to punish shose who sit complacent in their sins.
They thing the LORD will do nothing to them, either good or bad.
13. So their property will be plundered, their homes will be ransacked. They will build new homes but never live in them. They will plant vineyards but never drink wine from them.

14. "That terrible day of the LORD is near. Swiftly it comes — a day of bitter tears, a day when even strong men will cry out.
15. It will be a day when the LORD'S anger is poured out — a day of terrible distress and anguish, a day of ruin and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness, 
16. a day of trumpet calls and battle cries. Down go the walled cities and the strongest battlements!
17. "Because you have sinned against the LORD, I will make you grope around like the blind. Your blood will be poured into the dust, and your bodies will lie rotting on the ground."

18. Your silver and gold will not save you on that day of the LORD'S anger. For the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy. he will make a terrifying end of all the people on earth.
Zephaniah 1:1-1=18 NLT
