CHOICE OF TWO TRAILS: VICTORY OR DESTRUCTION.
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com.
HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED THE TRAILS BEFORE US… YOU ARE OF GREAT VALUE TO GOD. GOD GAVE. GOD GAVE HIS ONLY SON. HOW VALUABLE YOU’RE YOUR MUST BE FOR SATAN TO THROW EVERY EFFORT AND TIRELESS PURSUE YOU TO DESTROY YOU AND TAKE YOU WITH HIM TO ETERNITY IN HELL. GOD BLAZED A TRAIL FOR YOU WHEN GOD GAVE HIS SON TO BECOME THE BRIDGE TO TAKE US TO ETERNITY IN HEAVEN WITH HIM.
John 3:16 (NLT2) “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 (MSG) "This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.
LET US WALK THE TRAIL TO VICTORY FIRST.

The end of the trail is an empty tomb and a resurrected Savior and Lord.
THERE IS A TRAIL TO DESTRUCTION === WE WILL CALL THIS TRAIL THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT. JEZEBEL WAS THE DAUGHTER OF THE KING/PRIEST OF FALSE GODS. JEZEBEL WAS MARRIED TO AHAB THE KING OF ISRAEL.
JEZEBEL BRINGS 450 OF BAAL TO TRANSFER TO ISRAEL AND LEAD GOD’S PEOPLE IN FALSE WORSHIP.JEZEBEL HATED THE GOD OF ISRAEL AND OPENED PUBLIC WORSHIP TO BAAL AND ASHERAH… Jezebel ordered many of Yahweh’s priest killed on her command. Jezebel lead the people to embrace sin and satanic worship.
COVET: TO COVET IS IDOLATRY. To wish for, want, to evil desire, strongly, lust for, I want, YEARN FOR SOMETHING,
ANGER, I WANT IT, I WANT IT NOW:
Naboth owned a farm near King Ahab’s palace. Ahab wanted NABOTH’S FARM AND VINEYARD. King Ahab asked Naboth to buy Naboth’s farm. Ahab did not understand the value of this land to Naboth. This land had been in the family for generations. The land was an ancestral inheritance.
PITCH A FIT, POUT:
1 Kings 21:4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
1 Kings 21:4 (MSG) Ahab went home in a black mood, sulking over Naboth the Jezreelite's words, "I'll never turn over my family inheritance to you." He went to bed, stuffed his face in his pillow, and refused to eat.
TO TAKE CONTROL/ MANIPULATION: WHO IS THE BOSS? FORCE YOUR WAY.
Harmful control, to attack mental and emotional sides.
1 Kings 21:5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
1 Kings 21:7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
PAIN: unpleasant emotions, to cause physical or mental suffering, discomfort.
1 Kings 21:10 And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
DEPRESSION/ BITTERNESS: l sharpness, lack kindness, disappointment, unfair, angry, not happy.
1 Kings 21:13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
PERFECTIONIST, TO REFUSE ANYTHING SHORT OF THE DEMANDS. === PERFORMANCE BASED…
1 Kings 21:16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
TO BE ISOLATED, ALIENATION: to feel, no connection, not part of,
1 Kings 21:14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
REJECTION: dismiss, refuse, to spurn.
1 Kings 21:19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
HATRED/// DIVISION
1 Kings 21:24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
INDEPENDENT SPIRIT: I don’t need you, no repentance.
1 Kings 21:25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
THE END OF THE TRAIL IS DESTRUCTION.
ELIJAH PROPHESIED JEZEBEL’S END… DOG FOOD… THEY LEFT HER HANDS AND FACE TO IDENTIFY WHO SHE WAS…
JEZEBEL WAS THROWN OUT OF HER WINDOW THEN THE HORSES OF JEHU TRAMPLED HER.
2 Kings 9:33 (MSG) He ordered, "Throw her down!" They threw her out the window. Her blood spattered the wall and the horses, and Jehu trampled her under his horse's hooves. 34 Then Jehu went inside and ate his lunch. During lunch he gave orders, "Take care of that woman; give her a decent burial—she is, after all, a king's daughter." 35 They went out to bury her, but there was nothing left of her but skull, feet, and hands.
36 They came back and told Jehu. He said, "It's GOD's word, the word spoken by Elijah the Tishbite: In the field of Jezreel, dogs will eat Jezebel;
CONCLUSION:
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
