The Power of Silence!!!

 

The Power of Silence!!!

As we go into the 6th chapter of the Book of Joshua, I feel the need to point out how powerful silence can be. Under the command of the LORD, as Joshua and the Israelites encompassed the walls of Jericho, they spoke not a word. What I want to point out right from the start is that in their silence, victory in God was assured. Meditate on this scripture: “For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body” (James 3: 2, KJV). When you can control your tongue, your whole body follows suit. Obedience to this one spiritual command ensured that they would not be ensnared by the words of their mouths.

“Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. (Once you lose control of your mouth, you allow your words to dictate your life, setting you on a trajectory to hell.) For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison” (James 3: 3-8, KJV). When I filed for my divorce, I fired one lawyer and the other decided to quit, and I ended up representing myself in the Spirit of the LORD, against an “up and coming hotshot”. There is a saying, “A man that is his own lawyer has a fool for a client.” But that is not necessarily so, particularly if you are guided by the Spirit. (There is good and bad in every profession.) Our plans were not revealed to them; it rendered them the inability to prepare their own legal offense or defense. It gave me a significant advantage. It is too long to cover here, but the LORD saved me from being swindled and destitute for the rest of my life. And it was that serious! When you mix wickedness and greed, the combination is lethal. As we are seeing right now. The repercussions are being manifested in real time, and it will be impossible to keep covering it up, as many face bankruptcy and recession in this country.

I recently responded to a question on YouTube, which I rarely do anymore, particularly because I know that we will be held accountable for every idle word that proceeds from our mouths. Even for the thoughts and intents of our hearts. Therefore, I don’t want to be a stumbling block to anyone. My answer to this person is condensed here. Seek the LORD’s face for your life and be willing to ACCEPT and be obedient to His answers and direction.

We are so willing to consult others, including random strangers, about what to do in our own lives instead of going to the Source. He has written “The Book of Life”. And when you think that this alone doesn’t suffice, be still, and seek His face with prayers and fasting, being prepared to listen. Not wresting the situation until you hear what you want, and to proceed in the way that you think you should go. We say we want to seek our LORD, but we refuse to hear and obey Him fully. Then expect that He should remain on “standby” because it is convenient for us. It is already in our hearts what we want to do, and this is what we do. Then we have the nerve to insult Him by acting as if we really cared about His direction for our lives. The all-knowing God. We are liars. And without sincere repentance, and the turning away from our wicked ways, we will perish in our sins for this.

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” ...

  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 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...
