We are walking in today: Don't Miss the Move of God, Even in your wilderness experience.
Deuteronomy 1:33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day. For those who are being led by the Holy Spirit, the cloud by day, and the fire by night-- the Shekinah Glory of Yahweh-- is on the move again!! It's just a different time, a different season, but the same God is on the move again. Leading us by the Holy Spirit. Pastor Anitha spoke on the Holy Ghost on yesterday. It's on the inside of us!! Let's review what this means. The Israelites had just been freed from slavery in Egypt. How many of us have just been freed from slavery? Whether it's a broken relationship, that job you thought you were supposed to have, your own thoughts driving you crazy and more!!! They were then led into the wilderness, and were required to move often. In order for them to go into the promised land of their inheritance, they were instructed to follow the cloud by day, and the fire by night-- the Shekinah Glory of Yahweh. The journey would entail many encampments. As soon as the people arrived at a new location, they would set up camp, and remain there. As long as the cloud remained there, the people would remain, But when the cloud began to move to a new location, the people were required to move also. They were required to break camp, pack up, and move on, or face being left behind. Why is this bit of history important? Is it because the Israelites in the wilderness are our example for today!!! 1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Don't miss the move of God!!! He is showing Himself again in this season!! The Holy Spirit is desiring to prepare us, to make us ready, to enter the promised land of our inheritance. Thus we learn from the Israelites, that when the Holy Spirit begins to move in a new direction, we too must prepare to move or we too will be faced with being left behind. As we continue our journey toward the promise land, we are learning to be led by the Holy Spirit. We are learning that if we desire to be led by the Holy Spirit, we too must be willing to follow the "Shekinah Glory" of the Holy Spirit, just as the Israelites followed the cloud in the wilderness. This is partly what Yashua referred to when He said in, John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. Luke 4:1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. Fiveamprayer, let us have this testimony from the Lord as written in, Numbers 32:12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD. At this point you should have a made up mind, that you will follow and serve the Lord. As Israel learned at the hands of Elijah in 1 Kings 18:39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God. As Pastor Taffe taught on yesterday this chapter deals with Israel's worship of things that they had made instead of the Living God, who answers and leads us. Who or what are you following?! If it is not the living God, you are in big trouble!! You will be like the prophets of Baal, trying everything to get a response. Don't get separated from the Lord. Follow where He leads you! Don't miss God even in your wilderness experience!!!!
Don't you understand, that God is doing a new thing? Some of us are in the wilderness. He is still directing our paths. We have to follow Him, listen to His word--we are taking new territory. Many of us are facing not having a job or a sickness--trust Him, in your wilderness. Don't turn around, don't miss God in 2011. He is pouring out blessings that there will not be room enough to receive. It is the Lord that can open doors no man can open and shut doors that no man can close. God orders our steps in His word. We can seek and find, ask and receive, look for Him and see Him. This is our abundant time of His word. This is the time, fiveamprayer, you have got to move. If you don't move, you will get left behind. Trust what God has told you. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. If God says let it go, move on, run in this race, we are well able to do so. The Lord does not ask of us what He has not already equipped us to do. The only set up the Lord has is to reveal Himself to us, in delivery, healing, knowledge and blessings. Anything else is a trick of the devil. Our God sets us up to win. As Pastor Thomas says, "I always win!" How can you fail with the Lord God Almighty on your side as you follow Him?! He has given seed to the sower--this is harvest time, this is the season. Many of us are being pressed on every side, He is our way maker, a way out of no way, Jehovah Jireh, He always has a ram in the bush. Fiveamprayer, we can't give up now, nor turn around. Don't miss Him--He is the way out. He is the lamp at our feet, while we wander in the darkness, seek Him in His word, He will show you the exit. We are set free, no matter what we are going through. It is working out in our favor, what the enemy intended for evil--Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. We are walking by faith, not by sight. Psalm 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. Deuteronomy 28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them. Don't miss God in your wilderness experience. We are waging war--not missing God in the wilderness. Keep seeking Him, while He can be found. Keep lifting up prayers--He is moving, don't miss Him! 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. The enemy is trying to steal the word you have been given, trying to make you doubt God, bringing in confusion. 1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. Follow the Lord, His plan is best, no matter how it looks in the natural, trust Him. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Trusting God is not getting caught up in the how--just walk as He leads, following His word. The Lord is responsible for everything else. Don't miss God in your wilderness experience. Matthew 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. We must be in the word--reading the word and hearing the word. How else will you unlearn the ways of the world? Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Fiveamprayer, there is a shift going on, move in the direction of God. Shift and move. You may need to shake yourself and get to running in this move of God. Don't get left behind, the Lord is directing our path and His mercies endure forever! What are you gonna do? You better shift and move into this mighty move of God. Behold, He is doing a new thing! Thank You for giving us the best example: Who is it that has gone before you? Who showed you where to pitch your tents? Who lead you by day with a cloud and at night with fire? Who is it that is going before you day after day? Adonai Jehovah. The Lord is doing a new thing--Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. Don't miss this move of God. It is time to get moving, the Lord is directing us! We lift up fiveamprayer, have them to get into motion, following You and Your word. We lift up prayer requests, those known and unknown, have them to know that it is time to move. Forgive us Lord for not following you, we will make the correction to follow the True and Living God. Thank You for forgiving us, for when You forgive it is cast into the sea--remembered no more. Continue to teach us how to forgive others, so that we are not held back in unforgivness--unable to move.
We write in the precious blood: 1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
Welcome to the overflow
Fiveamprayer, make another request. Hold on to God's hand in the wilderness. Jabez asked for an enlarged coast, we have asked the same--order our steps in Your word. Time to move, higher and higher in the Lord. Shift into the movement of God. Hallelujah Lord! Who went before You?! Don't be scared to take the next step. Who can do this? Nobody but the Lord God Almighty! Take the next step, fiveamprayer. We thank You, Father! We will move the way, You would have us to move. Come on and jump into this move of God, He has been preparing you all this time, with His word and encouragement by His presence. He is manifesting Himself to us, from Genesis to Revelations. Pick up your bible, read it for yourself. It is the Lord that goes ahead of us and makes the crooked places straight. Trust and believe, what the word says. Don't miss this move of God, in your wilderness. Move, there is a shift going on. Somethings are taken by force. Some are taken by praise. We praised and worshiped the Lord all last week. Not coming to ask anything from Him. We can send out Judah before us and God will hand us the victory. Read it for yourself in 2 Chronicles 20, what a mighty move of God for His people, Israel. Don't just sit there, start moving in the direction that God is taking you. Walk in His word. Have a blessed day.
