The Power of Humility!!!

I want to give a profound revelation as Jesus gave it to me. One of the most powerful examples of silence and trust in the LORD. Pay attention.

“And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them. And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, the priests going on, blowing with the trumpets. And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout. So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp. And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.

“And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them, but the rereward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and the blowing with the trumpets. And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times. And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city” (Joshua 6: 8-16, KJV).

What we miss is that the Israelites spoke not a word for the entire seven days. Do you understand, and are you able to differentiate between the Rhema and the Logos in this situation? Do you understand the awe-filled reverence and respect for the LORD that is needed? The discipline? Do you understand the exhilaration of letting go after not being able to speak for seven whole days? It built up to a crescendo. We don’t realize the power in our words until they are taken away by the law and man. For those who have been silenced by force, even unto death. But understand that it did not negate preparation. The expectation is that you be armed and ready. In the armor of the LORD and by the sword of His Spirit. Physically, spiritually, and holistically. With the rereward. Meaning with reinforcement. And the oil that must be stored in your lamps.

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...

When Your Heart is Hardened (Part One)!!! At the very beginning of the plagues, Pharaoh asked Moses and Aaron for a sign, to prove themselves, and God’s sovereignty. Had he taken heed he would have seen the outcome then. “And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods” (Exodus 7: 10-12, KJV). God demonstrated His authority to Pharaoh and is why these plagues were written. To be passed down from generation to generation. It is why those who continue to ask for a sign, condemn themselves to judgment. Revealing the spirit of rebellion. This is by far, the most exhaustive paradigm ever recorded. “A wicked and adulterou...

When You Are Truly Cursed (Part 2)!!!

When You Are Truly Cursed (Part Two)!!! “If you are not careful to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, to fear and honor with reverence this glorious and awesome name, the LORD your God, then the LORD will bring extraordinary plagues on you and your descendants, even severe and lasting plagues, and miserable and chronic sicknesses. Moreover, He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid, and they will cling to you. Also, the LORD will bring on you every sickness and every plague which is not written in this book of this law, until you are destroyed. “Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD your God, you who were as numerous as the stars of heaven shall be left few in number. It shall come about that just as the LORD delighted over you to make you prosper and multiply, so the LORD will delight over you to bring you to ruin and destruction; and you will be uprooted [violently] from the land which you are entering to possess” ...
