LIVING A SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE, USEFUL TO GOD IS NOT EASY.
What does that mean? “Useful to God” means that God sees, honors, blesses, and rewards with endless honor that person.
Anything in our lives that is not pleasing to God will vanish away, turn to smoke & ashes, and be forgotten. Most people do not use God’s standard for significance, and therefore their lives will amount to nothing.
What’s interesting is that out of all the thousands of Levites serving in the Temple in the First Century, Zacharias is one of the only ones we know by name. So we have been given a special God-given insight.
TRUTH-1: GOD KNEW WHERE TO FIND ZACHARIAS
God does not require that we have a big, flashy, well-known life to be significant to Him.
God says that all that matters is: what He sees, what He thinks, and how He is pleased with our lives.
So as we read Luke we see this is not a flashy, outgoing couple. They are dutifully, behind the scenes in their lives. Zacharias & Elizabeth were just a tiny, almost insignificant part of a community of thousands of Levitical priests, grouped into 24 teams that took their turns on duty at the Temple of God.
Zacharias was one of 24,000 priests who served 2 weeks each year by rotation. As an aged man, it was a supreme honor given once in a lifetime to serve at the altar of incense.
The incense was offered daily before the morning sacrifice at about 9 AM, and after the evening sacrifice, about 3 PM in the afternoon. It was probably the evening offering that was assigned to Zacharias.
Application: God knows your address. You can be plain, unknown to most people in the world, never achieving public fame, live as an ordinary person, having a non-descript life: and still be living a Spirit-filled life, useful to God.

Q&A on The Seven Year Tribulation: Who Goes Through it & Why?
Who Can be Saved During the Tribulation & How?
What Lessons Can Believers Today Get from the Tribulation Coming?
The Seven-Year Tribulation: Who Goes Through it & Why?
1. Israel because it is the time of Jacob’s troubles.
Jeremiah 30:7 (NKJV) Alas! For that day is great, So that none is like it; And it is the time of Jacob’s trouble, But he shall be saved out of it. [Note also Jeremiah 31].
2. The whole world.
Daniel 7:23 (NKJV) “Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, Which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces.
Luke 21:35 (NKJV) For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Revelation 13:7 (NKJV) It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.
Who Can be Saved During the Tribulation & How?
1. Anyone who calls on the Lord
Joel 2:32
New King James Version (NKJV)
32 And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of the LORD
Shall be saved.
For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance,
As the LORD has said,
Among the remnant whom the LORD calls.
Romans 10:13
New King James Version (NKJV)
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”
2. Those who receive the love of truth
2 Thessalonians 2:10 (NKJV) and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
3. Those who are not deceived and do not take the mark of the Beast.
Revelation 14:9-11 (NKJV) Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
Revelation 20:4 (NKJV) And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

1—Jesus Offers Compassion in the Midst of Judgment:
In Revelation 14:1-7, we see Him standing with His servants trying to save those who will come to Him and listen to Him.
The most often-noted emotion of Christ’s ministry was His compassion. Jesus was shown to be “moved with compassion” no less than thirteen times. How do we get compassionate? We all must put on His compassion each day as Paul instructs us to do in Colossians 3:12-14.
Feel the Compassion of Jesus: Revelation 14:1a— Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads…
2—Jesus Offers TRUE Security & Joy:
Revelation 14:1b-3— God gives us living proof of His care as the world plunges into desolation and destruction! With Jesus are the blameless, unstoppable witnesses—all who have security because their Father’s name is written on their foreheads. God is saying, “You are mine.” God has named all the stars, which are merely inanimate objects, and He calls them each by name—but God’s servants have the Father’s name written on their foreheads.

First Peter 2 Title: Submit to God each day. God lays down the pathway for spiritual growth for believers.
Lessons:
1—1 Peter 2:1a—SPIRITUAL GROWTH IS A CHOICE: Spiritual growth demands some hard choices based upon the work of the Gospel “therefore”. Spiritual growth is based on, and only possible for those who are genuinely saved by redemption (1 Peter 1:18-21); have purified souls (1 Peter 1:22); and born again by the Word of God (1 Peter 1:23).
2–1 Peter 2:1b—FORSAKING SIN IS A BATTLE: I must choose to lay aside, throw away, abandon, and avoid all signs of lostness. Thus, spiritual growth starts when we repent of evil and hunger for God’s Word.
3–1 Peter 2:2a—HUNGER FOR THE WORD SHOWS SPIRITUAL HEALTH: I must want to eat up my meal of God’s Word.
4–1 Peter 2:2b—I NEED THE WORD TO GROW: Growth only comes via God’s Word.

Tutored in History by Almighty God
If you’ve ever been trained by a master musician, it is on your resume for life.
If coached by a living sport’s legend, we talk about it for life.
Here, the Almighty God of the Universe tutors us on history.
Isn’t it thrilling to get some guidance from God on how to understand history? Here in this final chapter of his epistles, Peter is guided into what may be the most important explanation of human history in all of God's Word.
Peter first gives us a framework for interpreting all of history (v. 1-10). Then Peter gives us a challenge for living all of our life (v. 11-18). Today we are going to start with the framework. I call these:
Three Fixed Reference Points to Understand God’s Plan
There are three points of history in verses 5,6, and 7, that form a framework for understanding God's Word as well as God’s Plan. God affirms as factual, events in the past that are very crucial for anyone who loves the Lord and wants to serve the Lord. Here they are:
1. Fixed Point-1-There was a Genesis-described, Literal Creation of the Universe by the Hand of God through Christ: God the Son, Jesus Christ created everything from nothing, just like it says in His Word. v. 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water.
Fixed Point-1-There was a Genesis-described, Literal Creation of the Universe by God the Son.
2. Fixed Point-2-There was a Genesis-described, Literal Flood that destroyed the entire world: God destroyed the world with water, as a judgment on sinful humanity, by flooding the entire earth, saving only Noah and those associated with his ark. v. 6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.
Fixed Point-2-There was a Genesis-described, Literal Flood that destroyed the entire world.
3. Fixed Point-3-There will be a Revelation-described, fire-of-God-induced end of days for humanity: God will destroy the world, the final time, with fire. v. 7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Fixed Point-3-There will be a Revelation-described, fire-of-God-induced end of days for humanity.
That should change how we look at everything if we believe God. Those three are life-altering truths. But sadly most people do not believe what God has said, and thus have lost their way, and are drifting through life without God’s fixed reference points.
These set points in history are to help each of us find our way, according to God. If we would look back at the Flood we would know God means business. The flood came from the Creator who made everything from nothing. That same God is warning of a fiery end to everything as His judgment on humanity’s sinfulness.
