GOD’S CHOSEN PATHears attentive to prayer made in this place. 16 For now I have chosen and sanctifiedthis house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will bethere perpetually. 17 As for you, if you walk before Me as your father Davidwalked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep Mystatutes and My judgments, 18 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, asI covenanted with David your father, saying, 'You shall not fail to have a man asruler in Israel.'NKJVNeh 9:3535 For they have not served You in their kingdom,Or in the many good things that You gave them,Or in the large and rich land which You set before them;Nor did they turn from their wicked works.NKJVJob 36:5-125 "Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one; He is mighty in strength ofunderstanding. 6 He does not preserve the life of the wicked, But gives justice tothe oppressed. 7 He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous; But they areon the throne with kings, For He has seated them forever, And they are exalted. 8And if they are bound in fetters, Held in the cords of affliction, 9 Then He tellsthem their work and their transgressions — That they have acted defiantly. 10 Healso opens their ear to instruction, And commands that they turn from iniquity. 11If they obey and serve Him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And theiryears in pleasures. 12 But if they do not obey, They shall perish by the sword, Andthey shall die without knowledge.NKJVIsa 59:20-2113

Dr. Kevin L. Zadai20 "The Redeemer will come to Zion,And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,"Says the Lord.21 "As for Me," says the Lord, "this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who isupon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart fromyour mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of yourdescendants' descendants," says the Lord, "from this time and forevermore."NKJVJer 26:1-6n the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, thisword came from the Lord, saying, 2 "Thus says the Lord: 'Stand in the court of theLord's house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in theLord's house, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Do not diminisha word. 3 Perhaps everyone will listen and turn from his evil way, that I may relentconcerning the calamity which I purpose to bring on them because of the evil oftheir doings.' 4 And you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord: "If you will notlisten to Me, to walk in My law which I have set before you, 5 to heed the words ofMy servants the prophets whom I sent to you, both rising up early and sendingthem (but you have not heeded), 6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and willmake this city a curse to all the nations of the earth."'"NKJVJer 36:1-3Now it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king ofJudah, that this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: 2 "Take a scroll of abook and write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, againstJudah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of14

GOD’S CHOSEN PATHJosiah even to this day. 3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all theadversities which I purpose to bring upon them, that everyone may turn from hisevil way, that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin."NKJVEzek 13:22-2322 "Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I havenot made sad; and you have strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he doesnot turn from his wicked way to save his life. 23 Therefore you shall no longerenvision futility nor practice divination; for I will deliver My people out of yourhand, and you shall know that I am the Lord."'"NKJVEzek 18:30-3230 "Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to hisways," says the Lord God. "Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so thatiniquity will not be your ruin. 31 Cast away from you all the transgressions whichyou have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For whyshould you die, O house of Israel? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of onewho dies," says the Lord God. "Therefore turn and live!"NKJVEzek 33:7-117 "So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel;therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. 8 When Isay to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you shall surely die!' and you do not speak to15

Dr. Kevin L. Zadaiwarn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but hisblood I will require at your hand. 9 Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turnfrom his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; butyou have delivered your soul.10 "Therefore you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: 'Thus you say, "If ourtransgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we pine away in them, how can wethen live?"' 11 Say to them: 'As I live,' says the Lord God, 'I have no pleasure inthe death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turnfrom your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?'NKJVDan 9:1-199 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the lineage of the Medes, whowas made king over the realm of the Chaldeans — 2 in the first year of his reign I,Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years specified by the word ofthe Lord through Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years inthe desolations of Jerusalem.3 Then I set my face toward the Lord God to make request by prayer andsupplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes. 4 And I prayed to the Lord myGod, and made confession, and said, "O Lord, great and awesome God, who keepsHis covenant and mercy with those who love Him, and with those who keep Hiscommandments, 5 we have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedlyand rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and Your judgments. 6 Neitherhave we heeded Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kingsand our princes, to our fathers and all the people of the land. 7 O Lord,righteousness belongs to You, but to us shame of face, as it is this day — to themen of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those near and those16

GOD’S CHOSEN PATHfar off in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of theunfaithfulness which they have committed against You.8 "O Lord, to us belongs shame of face, to our kings, our princes, and our fathers,because we have sinned against You. 9 To the Lord our God belong mercy andforgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him. 10 We have not obeyed thevoice of the Lord our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by Hisservants the prophets. 11 Yes, all Israel has transgressed Your law, and hasdeparted so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written inthe Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we havesinned against Him. 12 And He has confirmed His words, which He spoke againstus and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; forunder the whole heaven such has never been done as what has been done toJerusalem.13 "As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; yet wehave not made our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from ouriniquities and understand Your truth. 14 Therefore the Lord has kept the disaster inmind, and brought it upon us; for the Lord our God is righteous in all the workswhich He does, though we have not obeyed His voice. 15 And now, O Lord ourGod, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, andmade Yourself a name, as it is this day — we have sinned, we have done wickedly!16 "O Lord, according to all Your righteousness, I pray, let Your anger and Yourfury be turned away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; because forour sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people are areproach to all those around us. 17 Now therefore, our God, hear the prayer ofYour servant, and his supplications, and for the Lord's sake cause Your face toshine on Your sanctuary, which is desolate. 18 O my God, incline Your ear andhear; open Your eyes and see our desolations, and the city which is called by Your17

Dr. Kevin L. Zadainame; for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteousdeeds, but because of Your great mercies. 19 O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! OLord, listen and act! Do not delay for Your own sake, my God, for Your city andYour people are called by Your name."NKJVJonah 3:1-4:13 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2 "Arise, go toNineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you." 3 So Jonaharose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh wasan exceedingly great city, a three-day journey in extent. 4 And Jonah began toenter the city on the first day's walk. Then he cried out and said, "Yet forty days,and Nineveh shall be overthrown!"The People of Nineveh Believe5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth,from the greatest to the least of them. 6 Then word came to the king of Nineveh;and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself withsackcloth and sat in ashes. 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and publishedthroughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying,Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, ordrink water. 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily toGod; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in hishands. 9 Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierceanger, so that we may not perish?18

GOD’S CHOSEN PATH10 Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and Godrelented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He didnot do it.NKJVActs 14:8-188 And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripplefrom his mother's womb, who had never walked. 9 This man heard Paul speaking.Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, 10 said witha loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet!" And he leaped and walked. 11 Nowwhen the people saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in theLycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!" 12And Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chiefspeaker. 13 Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city,brought oxen and garlands to the gates, intending to sacrifice with the multitudes.14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes andran in among the multitude, crying out 15 and saying, "Men, why are you doingthese things? We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you thatyou should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven,the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them, 16 who in bygone generationsallowed all nations to walk in their own ways. 17 Nevertheless He did not leaveHimself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitfulseasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness." 18 And with these sayings theycould scarcely restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them.NKJV19

Dr. Kevin L. ZadaiTitus 1:10-1610 For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especiallythose of the circumcision, 11 whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert wholehouseholds, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain.12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts,lazy gluttons." 13 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that theymay be sound in the faith, 14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandmentsof men who turn from the truth. 15 To the pure all things are pure, but to those whoare defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience aredefiled. 16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, beingabominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.NKJVMatt 3:1-33 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2 andsaying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" 3 For this is he who wasspoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying:"The voice of one crying in the wilderness:'Prepare the way of the Lord;Make His paths straight.'"NKJV20

GOD’S CHOSEN PATHMatt 4:12-1712 Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee.13 And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea,in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 that it might be fulfilled which wasspoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:15 "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,Galilee of the Gentiles:16 The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light,And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of deathLight has dawned."17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom ofheaven is at hand."NKJVMatt 11:20-2420 Then He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works hadbeen done, because they did not repent: 21 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you,Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyreand Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I sayto you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than foryou. 23 And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down toHades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, itwould have remained until this day. 24 But I say to you that it shall be moretolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you."NKJV21

Dr. Kevin L. ZadaiMark 1:14-1514 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospelof the kingdom of God, 15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom ofGod is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."NKJVMark 6:7-137 And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two,and gave them power over unclean spirits. 8 He commanded them to take nothingfor the journey except a staff — no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts— 9 but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.10 Also He said to them, "In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till youdepart from that place. 11 And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, whenyou depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony againstthem. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrahin the day of judgment than for that city!"12 So they went out and preached that people should repent. 13 And they cast outmany demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them.NKJVLuke 13:1-513 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileanswhose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answered and22

GOD’S CHOSEN PATHsaid to them, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than allother Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, no; but unless yourepent you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower inSiloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than allother men who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you willall likewise perish."NKJVLuke 16:19-3119 "There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen andfared sumptuously every day. 20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus,full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21 desiring to be fed with the crumbs whichfell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 Soit was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. Therich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he liftedup his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.24 "Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarusthat he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I amtormented in this flame.' 25 But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that in yourlifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but nowhe is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us andyou there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to youcannot, nor can those from there pass to us.'27 "Then he said, 'I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to myfather's house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest theyalso come to this place of torment.' 29 Abraham said to him, 'They have Mosesand the prophets; let them hear them.' 30 And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if23

Dr. Kevin L. Zadaione goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' 31 But he said to him, 'If theydo not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one risefrom the dead.'"NKJVLuke 17:1-417 Then He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no offenses should come,but woe to him through whom they do come! 2 It would be better for him if amillstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that heshould offend one of these little ones. 3 Take heed to yourselves. If your brothersins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sinsagainst you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, 'Irepent,' you shall forgive him."NKJVActs 2:29-3929 "Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he isboth dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being aprophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit ofhis body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrec

GOD’S CHOSEN PATH 5 And so I just believe that for you right now in the name of Jesus. And so we're looking at God's path for you that's chosen. And you have to remember that in Psalms 139: 16, it was made clear to me when I was with Jesus that each one of our days is written in
