No Bullying Allowed!!!

Please understand that boundaries were not only set for Israel, but for all the nations of the earth. They were meant to be honored and not transgressed upon. God is just. He did not allow looting unless the iniquity of a nation was full and they were being judged by Him. It was only then that even the Israelites were allowed to take the spoil.

Greed is not in His character. It is not necessary. “For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the fields are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof” (Psalm 50: 10-12, KJV).

This is the lesson that was given so the Israelites would know how these same “giants” and great nations were conquered by their ancestors in the past. Pay attention as we go back to how Abraham saved Lot from Chedorlaomer and three other kings with their armies, who had just defeated five kings including Sodom and Gomorrah and their armies. After they had pursued and conquered “giants” and “cave dwellers” or Edomites (the descendants of Esau) before them. Abraham defeated them with just his household and his trained servants. Read the whole of chapter 14 in the Book of Genesis for full context.

“In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the [three] kings who were with him attacked and subdued Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriatham, and the Horites in their mountainous country of Seir, as far as El-Paran, which is on the border of the wilderness. Then they turned back and came to Enmishpat (that is, Kadesh), and subdued all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar. Then the kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and Bella (that is, Zoar) came out; and they joined together for battle with the invading kings in the Valley of Siddim” (Genesis 14: 5-8, AMP).

“Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar (bitumen) pits; and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, they fell into them. But the remainder [of the kings] who survived fled to the hill country. When Abram heard that his nephew [Lot] had been captured, he armed and led out his trained men, born in his own house, [numbering] three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far [north] as Dan” (Genesis 14: 10, 14, AMP).

Because of his faith, Abraham was met by and blessed of Melchizedek in the name of God Most High. Upon research, a deeper revelation is given through “Baker’s Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology”. The willingness in which Abraham acceded to him at this time. Note this verse: “The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou (Jesus Christ) art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek” (Psalm 110: 4, KJV).

In Every Aspect of Life!!!

In Every Aspect of Life!!! As we continue into chapter 34 of the Book of Numbers, I need you to understand the depth of involvement God desires in even the most insignificant part of our lives. (That is to us.) There is an acronym for the word BIBLE. Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. And although there is nothing basic about our LORD and Saviour, if you have an intimate relationship with Him. You know that He guides you in even the smallest things. “Every good thing and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes]” (James 1: 17, AMP). We would do well to understand His love and His knowledge of what is good for us and what can harm us, potentially leading to death. An unrepentant heart with all unrighteousness is sin. A deliberate rejection of God. We are warned not to even pray for ...

The Bar is Set Higher Than Many Think!!!

The Expectation is High!!! As we enter into chapter 33, the Book of Numbers details the journeys of the children of Israel. With a deeper understanding of the LORD's meticulousness and His expectations. It is something that He wants to make clear to His people and anyone drawn to read, watch, and/or listen to this. I have read this chapter over a few days without knowing what the premise would be. This morning, I prayed for guidance and received an immediate answer from the Holy Spirit. It is a confirmation of what was recently spoken of through His prophet Celestial of “The Masters Voice Prophecy Blog”. "The bar is set very high". Let me put my personal opinion here. Having expressed before how that in this time people are very quick to disrespect the office of the prophet. I often think of how fearful it is to see and hear the things that His prophets have seen and heard. The darkness that the LORD reveals to them. I love the LORD with all my heart, mind, body, and so...

Stay in The Secret Place!!!

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 inheritan...
