​We are walking in today:  The Origin And Practice Of The Poison Called Rebellion.

​This morning we are discussing the topic of rebellion.  This is a serious matter, not only for the children of Israel but for us even today.  In digging into the meat of the matter so to speak, we find how serious this is seen and dealt with by our Almighty God.  Fiveamprayer, we have to understand that  Yahweh has instructed and set each person called according to His purpose in place precisely.   There is no room for our opinions or input.  The key here is that we are positioned and gifted according to His purpose. Korah and Moses are the key characters in the chapter. Korah rises with 250 others to come against Moses, or so he thought. Many of us have heard of the stories about YHWH (GOD) literally opening up the earth and swallowing evildoers. That is scary, but wait, let us see what an evildoer is exactly.  Proverbs 17:11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. So the question to you today is are you walking in rebellion? Many instantly claim not to be, but if we do a true introspection we are often surprised as to what we are harboring in our hearts. Rebellion against God manifests through disobedience toward any leadership ordained by God (not necessarily clergy). There can be rebellion against our husbands for instance--how many times have you questioned, argued, refused and rejected a request from your husband? This is rebellion in the sight of God. The practice of rebellion is found in how we conduct ourselves in the midst of our rebellion, are we allowing our children to witness it? Remember our children do what we do--not what we say!  Therefore if we are not careful we could truly be developing a seed of rebellion that follows throughout your family for three to four generations. This is where I will encourage you to listen to this awesome message here.  The quality of your life and your children's children lives depend upon it.  Shalom Alakeim (Peace be unto you).
