Beloved, To cleanse the soul from rage and sin, we must continue to seek and find God. The fear of God will lead to humility and love for others. I pray we never stop seeking for God, and that we find more of God in JESUS name, Amen.

Jeremiah 29:13 NKJV
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Beloved, the history of the battles between Ai and Isreal is one we must always remember and learn from. God’s people Isreal lost the first battle to Ai because they disobeyed God and fought the enemy in arrogance and without God’s direction. But, after they confessed their sins and reconnected with God, the Lord restored them and helped them defeat Ai at the 2nd battle.

Lesson here, because we are saints of God and belong to HIM, it does not mean we won’t suffer consequences for our sins. Don’t let the pride of your status with God as saints deceive you into trusting in your own strength or that your sins don’t matter. Humble yourself, confess your sins, repent, listen for God again and obey HIS directions and then you will overcome again.

Joshua 8:1-2, 26-27 (For full context read 1-29)

1 Now the Lord said to Joshua: “Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land. 
2 And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king. Only its spoil and its cattle you shall take as booty for yourselves. Lay an ambush for the city behind it.”…
26 For Joshua did not draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. 
27 Only the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel took as booty for themselves, according to the word of the Lord which He had commanded Joshua

Beloved, though this was a message copied from Joshua Goodling, I had to share this message this New Year to help us re-focus on the foundation of our walk in Christ i.e. Faith and Believing

Do We REALLY Believe?

In Mark chapter 6, Jesus returns to his hometown to teach and preach the Gospel.  However, what He found was that the people there did not believe He was truly the Messiah.  Read what the first six verses tell us;

“He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. And he marveled because of their unbelief.” (Mark 6:1-6)

They should have been the first to believe!  His hometown and even His own family!  He was performing miracles and teaching as One who KNEW what He was talking about.  His actions PROVED He was the Messiah, yet the people allowed their human reasoning to get in the way, and they would not accept Him or believe in Him.  

The Bible says in verse 6, “And he marveled because of their unbelief” As Almighty God, He knew they would not believe, yet at the same time He was amazed that they could see all of the works He was doing, they could see infallible proofs that He was the Messiah, and yet they STILL did not believe in Him.

I wonder, how many times does God marvel at OUR unbelief?  You argue, “Oh, I believe Jesus is the Messiah!”  Yes, but do you really believe that God can and will answer prayer?  Do you really believe that God will provide all of your needs?  Do you really believe that God will do all that His Word claims He will do?  Do you really believe God can work in YOUR life as He has worked in other Christian’s lives and in the past?  TRUTHFULLY, do you REALLY BELIEVE GOD?

We read stories about God working in the lives of people like George Mueller, David Livingstone, and others.  We read stories in the Bible about God working through Elijah, Paul, Moses, and others.  We see God miraculously answer prayer for others, and yet we so often don’t fully give Him control of EVERYTHING in our own lives because we’re just not sure He will do the same for us.  We don’t give abundantly to others because we’re afraid we’ll have nothing left for ourselves.  We don’t give up all of our sins and follow Him completely because we’re afraid it won’t work for us.  We don’t focus all of our attention on Him and seek after Him with all of our hearts, because we’re afraid things won’t work out the way WE want them to.  The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is the SAME yesterday, today, and FOREVER!  We serve the SAME GOD people in the Bible and in Christian history served.  The same promises hold true for us!  
I think many times God must marvel at our lack of faith and our unbelief.  He longs to know us personally and work amazingly in our lives, but He can’t until we give up EVERYTHING and follow Him.  We should actively seek and pray for God to INCREASE our FAITH in Him.

“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6)

Please watch and share Beloved. Commit completely with God so you can be guided through any new coming uncertainties in 2021 https://youtu.be/Z6OsvULZJlw

Beloved, have we confessed our sins to God and turned away from doing them which is repentance? Do we not realize that keeping that sin buried and unconfessed breaks our fellowship with God and benefits of HIS presence? Thank GOD for any who have confessed our Lord JESUS as Savior, if we sin and confess those sins, those sins are forgiven and our life is spared so you can live on. Achan and his family were stoned and burned in the old covenant, an end way worse than what God now has redeemed us to. Nevertheless, now, unconfessed sin has it adverse consequences. So repent, confess your sins and return to fellowship with God.

Joshua 7:19 (Read verses 19-26 for full context)
19 Now Joshua said to Achan, “My son, I beg you, give glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession to Him, and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.”

1 John 1:9
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Beloved, God is sooooo gracious and asks that after you have fallen, don’t sit and brood in your fallen state. Rise back up, sanctify yourself and live for HIM

Joshua 7:10 and 13 (Read 10-18 for more context
10 So the Lord said to Joshua: “Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face?…
13 Get up, sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says the Lord God of Israel: “There is an accursed thing in your midst, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the accursed thing from among you.”…

Micah 7:8-9
8 Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The Lord will be a light to me.
9 I will bear the indignation of the Lord, Because I have sinned against Him, Until He pleads my case and executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light;
I will see His righteousness.

Proverbs 24:16
The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked

Beloved, good morning, God has truly blessed us. And HE continues to do so if we walk by faith and live in and through the finished work of our Lord JESUS. If HE has redeemed us from the curse of the law and the law itself, why would we want them back? Why would we touch or take anything that is cursed? Lord, help us to continue to live by faith so we may continue to see and experience all the blessings and victories you have prepared for us in JESUS name, Amen

Joshua 7:1 (Read verses 1-9)
1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass regarding the accursed things, for Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed things; so the anger of the Lord burned against the children of Israel.

Galatians 5:1 NKJV
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Galatians 5:1 NLT
1 So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.

Beloved, if God has helped you conquer your enemies and destroyed everything they had including any ties you had with them, why would you go back to rebuild a connection with them or help them regain/rebuild all God destroyed? Isn’t that like bringing a curse or chaos upon ourselves? Please don’t be like the Israelites who after being saved from Egypt desired to go back or like the Galatians who after entering into Christ by faith desired to go back to earthly, fleshly things. I pray we take the hint to never return to the enemies camp after God has moved us on from it in JESUS name, Amen

Joshua 6:26-27
26 Then Joshua charged them at that time, saying, “Cursed be the man before the Lord who rises up and builds this city Jericho; he shall lay its foundation with his firstborn, and with his youngest he shall set up its gates.”
27 So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout all the country.

Galatians 3:1-6
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified.
2 Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?
4 Did you sufferb so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?
5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith— 6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?

Beloved, There is something in good and clean water. Good natural water prevents death and miscarriage. While, the symbolic water of the Word of GOD cleanse and washes our souls free from spiritual dirt, iniquity, soulish impurities. So make sure you feed on the Word of GOD and good clean natural water.

2 Kings 2:19‭-‬22
Now the men of the city said to Elisha, “Behold, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my Lord sees, but the water is bad, and the land is unfruitful.” He said, “Bring me a new bowl, and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him. Then he went to the spring of water and threw salt in it and said, “Thus says the Lord , I have healed this water; from now on neither death nor miscarriage shall come from it.” So the water has been healed to this day, according to the word that Elisha spoke.

Ephesians 5:25-27
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,
to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s Word.
He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault.
