oracle with God, <i>the Holy Spirit</i>, is used to offer wise counsel into the
workings of God, regarding the prayers of the righteous. It also offers an
explanatory prediction about how those prayers IMPACT future events on a WIDE
SCALE and global level.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Habakkuk
is one of the 12 minor prophets of the bible with a message that God’s people
are to LIVE BY FAITH no matter what is going in them, with them, or around
them. No matter what they hear, feel, see, or are experiencing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Habakkuk
is said to be the author and may have written it before the Babylonians sieged
Jerusalem and took it over.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There is
VERY little information about Habakkuk except that he may have been a temple
prophet, a singing Levite, had a Hebrew name, may have been the Shunammite’s
son that was restored to life by Elisha, and lived during the time of the rise
of the Chaldeans.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The book
of Habakkuk has 3 chapters, which focuses upon MAINTAINING one’s FAITH during
times of uncertainty, injustice, and “seemingly” prevailing evil or evil
people.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It is
this issue of maintaining FAITH that concerns Habakkuk just like it concerns
God’s people in the 21<sup>st</sup> century.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Habakkuk
is OPENLY questioning God about WHEN he is going to EXECUTE judgement on EVIL
and EVIL PEOPLE for the MANY horrible sins.</span></p>

around the wicked or their wickedness and would rather be somewhere PRESENCE
with their LORD. But they are on a mission for God. “…<i>For instance, we know
that when these bodies of ours are taken down like tents and folded away, they
will be replaced by resurrection bodies in heaven—God-made, not handmade—and
we’ll never have to relocate our “tents” again. Sometimes we can hardly wait to
move—and so we cry out in frustration. Compared to what’s coming, living
conditions around here seem like a stopover in an unfurnished shack, and we’re
tired of it! We’ve been given a glimpse of the real thing, our true home, our
resurrection bodies! The Spirit of God whets our appetite by giving us a taste
of what’s ahead. He puts a little of heaven in our hearts so that we’ll never
settle for less. That’s why we live with such good cheer. You won’t see us
drooping our heads or dragging our feet! Cramped conditions here don’t get us
down. They only remind us of the spacious living conditions ahead. It’s what we
trust in but don’t yet see that keeps us going. Do you suppose a few ruts in
the road or rocks in the path are going to stop us? When the time comes, we’ll
be plenty ready to exchange exile for homecoming. <sup> </sup><span style="color: red;">But neither exile nor homecoming is the main thing.</span>
Cheerfully pleasing God is the main thing, and that’s what we aim to do, <span style="color: red;">regardless of our conditions</span>. Sooner or later we’ll
all have to face God, regardless of our conditions. We will appear before Christ
and take what’s coming to us as a result of our actions, either good or bad. <sup> </sup>That
keeps us vigilant, you can be sure…<span style="color: red;">That’s why we work
urgently with everyone</span>… </i></span><span class="text"><i><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">His love
has the first and last word in everything we do… <span style="color: red;">We’re

their differences </span></i></span><i><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">and
enter into God’s work of making things right between them. <span style="color: red;">We’re speaking for Christ himself now</span>: Become friends
with God; he’s already a friend with you. How? you ask. In Christ. God put the
wrong on him who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with God</span></i><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">…” (2 Corinthians 5 MSG).</span></p>

the end of a covenant relationship and means it is terminated or broken. It

canceled and the vows, under the rule of law, are no longer binding. </span></p>

through a legal process, according to the laws of their state or country. This
process requires the involvement of a court and a judge that decides on issues
such as distribution of properties, child support, alimony, sharing of debt,
and the splitting of material possessions.</span></p>

court to decide on issues such as distribution of properties, child support,
alimony, sharing of debt, and the splitting of material possessions.</span></span></p>
