“What Is Saying Then, Without Walking In It?” 1 Kings 13:1; And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. (Isaiah 55:11; So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.) “What Is Saying Then, Without Walking In It?” 1 Kings 13:2; And he cried against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall be burnt upon thee. v4; And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Beth-el, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him. (Romans 9:6; Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel.) “What Is Saying Then, Without Walking In It?” 1 Kings 13:6; And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored him again, and became as it was before. v7; And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward. v9; For so was it charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest. (John 6:57; As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.) 1 Kings 13:10; So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el. (Galatians 6:15; For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.) “What Is Saying Then, Without Walking In It?” 1 Kings 13:11; Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father. v12; And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah. (James 1:22; But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. v23; For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass.) “What Is Saying Then, Without Walking In It?” 1 Kings 13:14; And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am. v15; Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread. v17; For it was said to me by the word of the Lord, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest. v18 Read, v19; So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.(James 1:24; For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.) (Notice the difference between charged and said; 1 Corinthians 9:26; I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air.) Read 1 Kings 13 in its entirety. “What Is Saying Then, Without Walking In It?” Galatians 5:7; Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? “What Is Saying Then, Without Walking In It?” Teaching!
