Stay in The Secret Place!!!

I want to revisit the significance of the scriptures just referenced. The Levites were set apart. Their duties included the care of the tabernacle. This was arduous, rigorously grueling. Remember that whenever the Israelites stayed in a place, whether as long as one night, or for a year, the Levites broke down the tabernacle prior to leaving and went ahead of the Israelites to set it back up upon their arrival at their next destination.

Upon research it is confirmed that the Levites' inheritance is spiritual, and not material. Their roles were substantially significant. Being notably and nobly exalted, as God was their inheritance. Preeminent to true believers being a royal priesthood. Their faith needed to be integral as they literally depended on God for all of their needs.

“Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan [across from] Jericho, saying, ‘Command the Israelites to give to the Levites cities to live in from the inheritance of their possession; and you shall give the Levites pasture lands around the cities. The cities shall be theirs to live in; and their pasture lands shall be for their cattle and for their herds and for all their livestock” (Numbers 35: 1-3, AMP).

Here is the seriousness of the matter. God set the boundary lines. As in chapter 34, they were set in the north, south, east, and west regions. And here they are set even more intimately in the suburbs. In every boundary that was set, the Israelites were surrounded on all sides. As in the wedge of protection that surrounded Job.

“The pasture lands around the cities which you shall give the Levites shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits (1,500 ft.) around. You shall measure outside the city on the east, south, west, and north sides two thousand cubits (3,000 ft.), with the city in the center. This shall belong to the Levites as pasture lands for the cities” (Numbers 35: 4-5, AMP).

The Commandment for Men to Protect!!!

The Commandment for Men to Protect!!! To explain the importance of the words that we speak, I want you to meditate on this story that is placed in the Word of the LORD for a reason. Followed by the importance of honor in a man. Also read chapter 11 in the Book of Judges to get the full background and context. That in all that he was “perceived” to be, he was more honorable than most. Even in his reckless, inept speech. Placed in a sacrificial role of leadership, with no experience or guidance. Who in his heart held the LORD as highly esteemed, respected, and in the highest regard. “And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, then it shall be, that whosoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering. “So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against ...

Walk in Your Integrity!!!

Walk in Your Integrity!!! They were then given in marriage to these same men. Looking into their faces as they relived these horrors daily. Even as they were intimate with them. In every morsel of food that they ate. Seeing their valuables when they were forced to worship a God that they did not care to know. As they watched their captors wearing their items and those of their lost loved ones on their bodies, and whomever they chose to give them too. How were their wives and daughters supposed to feel about these foreign women being brought into their homes? Did they think that gifts should appease them, as they desire these other women? What type of example is this setting for their own children, including their sons? As these women may have felt rejected, made to feel less than. To think that these other women could ever truly love them is asinine. But this curse is two-fold, as our people were sent into slavery throughout our history as a people. Whose lands were taken from th...

I Have Done No Wrong!!!

I Have Done No Wrong!!! Many of us believe that if we do the bare minimum that all of our past sins should be forgotten. And that God should wave His magic wand and give us what we want. But can I tell you something? God is not a man that He should lie, nor the son of man, that He should repent. We do evil in His sight, He then judges us in righteousness, but we think that we should decide when our punishment is sufficient. By His grace, He has already set the terms, that if we obey, we can still be victorious and more importantly, learn the lesson, with patience, being steadfast. So that we truly repent of our evil ways. Let me put it this way. Imagine committing adultery against God, and although He forgives us, we continually complain, and gaslight Him. As if He should feel less than as we continue to blame Him for our imperfections. For our ungrateful nature. Without rectifying our wrongdoings. As if nothing that our Creator could ever do is good enough. Should we not expect ...
