21. Again a message came to me from the LORD:
22. "Son of man, you've heard that proverb they quote in Israel: 'Time passes, and prophecies come to nothing.'
23. Tell the people, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will put an end to this proverb, and you will soon stop quoting it' Now give them this new proverb to replace the old one: 'The time has come for every prophecy to be fulfilled!'

24. "There will be no more false visions and flattering predictions in Israel.
25. For I am the LORD! If I say it, it will happen. There will be no more delays, you rebels of Israel. I will fulfill my threat of destruction in your own lifetime. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!"

26. Then this message came to me from the LORD:
27. "Son of man, the people of Israel are saying, 'He's talking about the distant future. His visions won't come true for a long time.'
28. Therefore, tell them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: No more delay! I will now do everything I have threatened. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!"
Ezekiel 12:21-28 NLT

21st Strategy.
And, But, So)
the LORD says/said: ...

• Open your heart in prayer.
• Ask God to give you wisdom from His Scripture.
• Read the passage.
• Re-read the passage.
• Is the LORD speaking?
• Is He addressing the Israelites? the world? lost sinners? a particular person?
• What is He saying?
• Can you glean insight or wisdom from His words?
• How, when, why?
• What will you do with what you have had laid on your heart today?
• Ask God to give you what you need.
• Trust Him to do just that.
• Remember He listens to his children.
