The Sacrifices of Stewards!!!

“And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him, and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses” (Deuteronomy 34: 7-9, KJV).

Moses did not let his anointing go dormant. As the LORD commanded, he passed it on to Joshua, allowing the virtue given to him to pass so that there was no cessation of the promise of God. Joshua picked right up where Moses left off, to confirm and to do the will of the LORD. Virtue is defined as moral excellence, righteousness, and spiritual strength. A Christ-like character and inner power to live in obedience to God’s word.

“And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, in all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, and in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel” (Deuteronomy 34: 10-12, KJV).

Many times our LORD spoke of the hard-heartedness of His people. Saying that they were a stiff-necked people. Not only yet while we were sinners, did He give His life for us, but He gave us the Book of Life. It encompasses what Abraham meant when he said that they have Moses and the prophets. We have this precious Book of Life in our possession. The Book that sustains life. God did not leave any of us on our own. This sustenance overcomes all trials and adversity. With it we will not hunger or thirst.

The most precious commodity given, along with the Holy Spirit who is our Teacher, Comforter, Counselor and Advocate (Parakletos), Strengthener and Intercessor, Spirit of Truth, Spirit of Life, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Holy, and so much more. So that we cannot fail, if we follow Him. If we do, we have no excuse because we were not left empty. He gave us all that we need to overcome. All the books in this world combined, are not as valuable as this one Book. And we are out here looking for someone to spoon-feed us and/or allowing it to sit unopened as a centerpiece, instead of immersing ourselves in it. Instead of looking to the Holy Spirit for guidance.

THE BIBLE IS THE BOOK OF LIFE!!! “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works” (Revelation 20: 12-13, KJV). Do you understand yet? The BIBLE is the Standard. The BIBLE is the Book of Life. And we will be judged by it according to our works, words, and the thoughts and intents of our hearts.

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...
