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).

When the LORD Goes Before You!!!

When the LORD Goes Before You!!! “Know [without any doubt], that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked (stubborn, obstinate) people. Remember [with remorse] and do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness; from the day you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD. And at Horeb (Sinai) you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you” (Deuteronomy 9: 4-8, AMP). Many of us focus on Moses' fasting for forty days and forty nights. But he had to go back up for a second time, for forty more days and nights, hewing two tablets of stone himself, as he fasted and prayed for the lives of the Israelites, including his brother Aaron. In God’s mercy they spent forty years in the wilderness, and He was not wrong if He would have condemned them to eighty years. Before we procee...

Sanctify Your Vessel in Holiness!!!

Sanctify Your Vessel in Holiness!!! People say that they love their family and friends and believe that it gives them the right to overlook evil. That they should hold themselves higher than God Himself by saying, “I absolve you of your sin”. Who would ignore the Holy Scriptures because they feel sorry for them and because they themselves are full of transgression. So that while they overlook wrongdoing in others, the same should be done unto them. I spoke to my daughter, that my children will say, I love my brothers and sisters, but you don’t love each other enough to warn them of impending judgment. A judgment that has two outcomes. Darkness and torment in a lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels, where the worm dieth not. Where you have been given a new body that will withstand torment that only God can inflict, that will never be utterly destroyed. A horror that lasts forever. Or the reassurance given by God Himself. “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor e...

Spiritual Deafness is Increasing!!!

Spiritual Deafness is Increasing!!! “These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth. Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: and ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place” (Deuteronomy 12: 1-3, KJV). While reading this, the LORD is instilling in me the understanding that we should have a zeal for Him above all things. Every idol in our lives, including man, woman, or child should be thrust down. Unhealthy relationships and mindsets cast out. The need to be worshipped. Greed, covetousness, and gluttony. The increasing pride, lust, sexual immorality. DISOBEDIENCE, and...
