The stone Ezel 1 Samuel 20:19 KJV — And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel. Ndatenda kwazvo Mwari, twatotela sana Lesa, zikomo kwambili Mulungu, ndibonga kakulu Tata, thank you very much Lord. There are too many roads ahead of our lives. Some are marked with false signs that the roads lead to You, yet along the way the enemy awaits. May the Holy Spirit lead the way, Lord. Holy Spirit, I yield to your dictates, speak to us this morning. In Jesus's name, amen. Stone Ezel, means, the stone that shows the way, or separation. Thank you Jesus for this word. May it reach those who are in desperate need for it. May this message carry the full weight of the power that liberates those in bondage. May those that are broken, be healed. In Jesus's name, amen. Listen my brothers and sisters, you need to ask the Holy Spirit to define to you what friendship means. Secondly, there is no friendship without friends. Therefore, allow the Holy Spirit to choose friends for you. May he remove fake friends from your life. This is the reason why friendship is a level higher than most relationships. We all know the friendship that was between Jonathan and David. Even King Saul (Jonathan's father) knew the close friendship between the two. That friendship saved David's life. There is something this evening that you need to know, David was living in the King's palace. Yet, his life was in danger every minute. Child of God, it is not good living that brings safety to your life. David needed Jonathan for him to come out alive from that palace. You need the Holy Spirit in your life for you to remain alive in this world. Jonathan did not betray David. I can speak with authority, that the Holy Spirit will never betray you. When Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abedenigo got promoted to be among the governors in Babylon, who would have imagined that the furnace and the den of lions were their next bus stops? Don't let the world fool you with its offerings. You need the Holy Spirit to send you the signal that will save your life. However, there is a meeting place where you can receive the correct signal. That palace is the stone Ezel. The place that shows the way. There is a chorus we used to sing in shona that says, Ndariwana dombo rekukwira kudenga, Jesu ndiro ndombo rekukwira kudenga- I have found the stone that will take me to heaven, Jesus the stone to get me to heaven. John 14:6. To stay in the palace and die, or to depart from the palace and live. That question was to be answered at the stone Ezel. David had to stay out of the palace for three days. There are times in life when you need to separate yourself from the delicacies of the King's table. There is no way you can get to the stone Ezel when you are coming from the palace. Mwana wa Mwari, imboshaikwawo patafura - child of God, you need to miss your seat at the dining table. Three days of an empty seat at the table saved David's life. Give yourself days of fasting in agreement with the Holy Spirit. We have a meeting place in Jesus, the rock of ages. The stone that was rejected by the builders, but later became the cornerstone. What does Jesus say about the Holy Spirit? John 14:26. Please read the whole chapter 14, for you to enjoy the power of the promise. OMG, it is only when you reach the stone Ezel, that you will get the signal of your life. We need to pray that our lives are led to the stone that will show us the way. The palace has nothing but death in every corridor. It is only Jesus. He changes burdens into blessings. Let him show you the way. Elder Josphat Murape +260976749389 19/6/2025
