 The Command to Be Rooted in Jesus (Part 2)!!! As we close, I want to remind you that we must work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. It is up to us to replenish and store up the oil in our vessels. Just as in the parable of the ten virgins. Five were wise and five were foolish. “They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps” (Matthew 25: 3-4, KJV). When the foolish asked the wise for some of their oil, they were essentially told to go to the false prophets and others who sell lies to them and to continue to be misdirected. To be misguided, careless, and ill-advised. Becoming ineffective as they were being distracted. Confirmed three times: 1) “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye to...

  We Are Commanded to Be Rooted in Jesus!!! People are overworking themselves. Coveting money and the need to be seen and worshipped and accepted as “that one”. Craving to feel important. Worshipping others and putting them on pedestals. As I sit here, I am given the revelation of why God commanded us to rest in Him. To keep His sabbaths, knowing that He will provide. The importance of being content and fulfilled in this life. Many are expending all of their time chasing and coveting the world which will perish in fire. Ignoring what is most important, as they are consumed in the flesh. That is to establish a personal and intimate relationship in Him throughout our lives and into eternity. As we begin, pay attention to the depths of the worship, including how often, even how many times in one day. Because as fragile flesh we wrestle against principalities, rulers of the darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places for which we are no match. We are commanded to worshi...

 His Grace is Sufficient!!! Here again is the confirmation that to whom much is given, much is required. Moses’s anointing was so great that God expected him to pour into others. To take of himself when required. He commanded Moses more than once. But remember, it should always be at God’s command because it is never to be taken lightly. “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you” (Matthew 7: 6, KJV). Here are two instances in which the LORD commanded Moses to do so. Focus on the magnitude of the sanctification given unto him. 1) “And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease” (Numbers 11: 25, KJV). And 2) “The LORD said to Moses, ‘Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and ...

  The Righteous Law Giver!!! Let me confirm the wickedness of Pride and Arrogance, rivaled with the spirit of Confusion: 1) “Saul said to Ahijah [the priest], ‘Bring the ark of God here.’ For at that time the ark of God was with the sons of Israel. While Saul talked to the priest, the commotion in the Philistine camp continued and increased, so Saul said to the priest, ‘Withdraw your hand.’ Then Saul and all the people who were with him rallied and went into the battle; and behold, every [Philistine] man’s sword was against his companion, in wild confusion” (1 Samuel 14: 18-20, AMP). Satan is diabolical. 2) “When they began singing and praising, the LORD set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; so they were struck down [in defeat]. For the sons of Ammon and Moab [suspecting betrayal] rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, completely destroying them; and when they had finished with the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destr...

  The Power and Consequences of Evil Influences!!! This is the heart of man when left to himself. “Then one of the Israelites came and presented to his relatives a Midianite woman, in the site of Moses and the whole congregation of the Israelites, while they were weeping [over God’s judgment] at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle)” (Numbers 25: 6, AMP). As God was pronouncing judgment, he was bold enough to attempt to commit fornication right before the eyes of the LORD. His witchcraft is confirmed by this scripture. “The foolishness of man undermines (perverts) his way [ruining whatever he undertakes]; then his heart is resentful and rages against the LORD [for, being a fool, he blames the LORD instead of himself]” (Proverbs 19: 3, AMP). It is a fool who runs to sin without weighing the consequences. While the congregation was wallowing in self-pity, one man took action. A form of true repentance. “When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw this...
