  • Summary

  • SHOW NOTES: In Podcast Episode 265, “When You Make Yourself an Enemy of God, Your Enemy Meter Is No Longer Rightly Calibrated,“ Kim discusses the mistaken spiritual vision that occurs when one makes himself an enemy of God. As we see with King Solomon, because of his wrong choices, the Lord had raised up men to stand against him. Yet, those were not his real enemies. His real enemy was himself. We all have had times when we were our own worst enemies but continued to fight against perceived enemies until the Lord spiritually shook us to re-calibrate our perspective. Our focal passages for this episode are 1 Kings 11:26-43 with verse 40 as the focal verse: 40 Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam, but he fled to King Shishak of Egypt and stayed there until Solomon died. WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE: Prayerfully determine whether you are currently a friend of God or have made yourself an enemy of God?
