Please consider how truly blessed we are considering the fact that God sees us as holy. In the past, only items in His presence or the one priest who entered His presence was considered holy if he stayed alive. Others had to be consecrated by that Priest. But, now, if you are saved and in Christ, living for Him, you are holy and are constantly being made holy by God Himself Hallelujaah Amen!!!

Numbers 16:38b
38b Since these burners were used in the LORD’s presence, they have become holy.

1 Thessalonians 5:23
23 Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.

Another blessing, gift, God has given us is the authority to speak/declare a thing and see it come to pass. Just like He did in creating the earth and all in it, if we who are conforming to His image and likeness command a thing it can happen. So be careful what you declare.

Numbers 16:28-33
28 And Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things that I have done—for I have not done them on my own.
29 If these men die a natural death, or if nothing unusual happens, then the LORD has not sent me.
30 But if the LORD does something entirely new and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them and all their belongings, and they go down alive into the grave, then you will know that these men have shown contempt for the LORD.”
31 He had hardly finished speaking the words when the ground suddenly split open beneath them.
32 The earth opened its mouth and swallowed the men, along with their households and all their followers who were standing with them, and everything they owned.
33 So they went down alive into the grave, along with all their belongings. The earth closed over them, and they all vanished from among the people of Israel.

Job 22:28

King James Bible
28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
28 When you make a decision, it will be carried out, and light will shine on your ways.

There is divine protection for those who are found doing what God has called them to do. When we submit to God in all things and do the work/job/ministry He has asked us to, nothing can harm us and when people revile against us they actually revile against God and He will defend us and fight for us. Read the rest of Numbers 16 to see Gods action against those who fight against His servants. God blesses those who serve Him!

Numbers 16: 7b and 11
7b …Then we will see whom the LORD chooses as his holy one…
11 The LORD is the one you and your followers are really revolting against! For who is Aaron that you are complaining about him?”

Exodus 23:25-26
25 “But you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water; and I will remove sickness from your midst.
26 “There shall be no one miscarrying or barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.

Do we truly realize how blessed and privileged we are to be chosen and loved by The Almighty God? The verse below was spoken during the proving that Moses and Aaron were the chosen to lead Israel. Are we not now the chosen for our generation? Are we not always in His presence?

Numbers 16:5b
“Tomorrow morning the LORD will show us who belongs to him and who is holy. The LORD will allow only those whom he selects to enter his own presence.

God so wants us to be blessed that He gives His people a clear method on how to remember His commands to obey them. For the Israelites, it is a tassel on clothing that is used and we are to use that example to make a way to always remind ourselves to obey God rather than to sin. My suggestions, let the clothing you wear bear Gods words, write His words in paintings or carvings in your homes, draw etchings or murals on the external walls of your home if your HOA will allow it, put His word on the fridge, your mirrors, right above your TV and computer, and/or as a screen saver or background on your smart phones and tablets. This way we see and read His words all the time.

Numbers 15:39
39 When you see the tassels, you will remember and obey all the commands of the LORD instead of following your own desires and defiling yourselves, as you are prone to do.

Revelation 1:3
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

Please be careful about what you say and confess with your mouth. Please do not confess or say evil or negative things over yourself or your home. Saying those negative things are a show of doubt to all God has promised. So please don’t curse yourself, rather speak blessings. Confess only what our God and Father has spoken about you.

Numbers 14:26-28 (Please read whole chapter for full context)
26 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
27 “How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites.
28 So tell them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord, I will do to you the very thing I heard you say:

Please stop doubting God, stop living in fear and complaining, and stop confessing/declaring doom over your own life. God will perform His promise/word to us, but for those who doubt and confess negatively they will limit the unlimited one. Keep on believing to obtain God’s promise.

Numbers 14:20-24
20 The Lord replied, “I have forgiven them, as you asked.
21 Nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely as the glory of the Lord fills the whole earth,
22 not one of those who saw my glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times—
23 not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their ancestors. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it.
24 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.

Psalm 78:36-42
36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

If God has already finished the work through Christ and has promised us victory and prosperity, why are we still so fearful? Why are our confessions indicating doubt instead of declaring faith in God and in His promises to us. Be honest with yourself, are you like Caleb below or like the other 10 Israelites spies?

Numbers 13:30-33
30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.”
32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.
33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”

Because we belong to God through Christ Jesus purchase of us with His blood, love and honor God, live for and serve Him, as well as proclaim His gospel and words to people around us. We are like Moses was to Him; His oracle to others who don’t here from God directly. And if that’s who we are, God will challenge and/or bring quick judgment to those who speak against us or hurt us. See what happens to Miriam after she and Aaron spoke ill of Moses.

Numbers 12:5-10
5 Then the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud; he stood at the entrance to the tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When the two of them stepped forward,
6 he said, “Listen to my words:
“When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams.
7 But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house.
8 With him I speak face to face,
clearly and not in riddles;
he sees the form of the Lord.
Why then were you not afraid
to speak against my servant Moses?”
9 The anger of the Lord burned against them, and he left them.
10 When the cloud lifted from above the tent, Miriam’s skin was leprous—it became as white as snow.

Isaiah 54:17
But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken!

How would God describe you to the world? What epistle could be written about you? Would you like for men to read about you as written below about Moses? What must you do to get here?

Numbers 12:3
3 (Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)
