1. When people only acknowledge that God is Love, ( which He is) it is very dangerous. God is also a just God and we might not like it or understand it…but what we think doesn’t really matter if God is WHO HE SAYS HE IS.
2. God wanted His people then and now to multiply and inhabit the land. He wants us to speak hard Truth.
He doesn’t want us to accept the Muslim or any other foreign religion. We can love people but not accept their false gods.
It’s not a time to hide or be quiet.
Our love for God, each other, and the people in the spheres of influence we are in should be readily seen. Our joy should be seen. Our belief in the Word of God should be known.
Our love and trust in God should be known, as should our obedience.
Praying this for myself daily:
“Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and ENLARGE MY TERRITORY that Your mighty hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain “
1 Chronicles 4-10
My own circle of influence has gotten smaller over the past 14 years and it’s time for a new chapter and verse if God desires!
Per Luca, I added some emphasis 🤷‍♀️
“In Numbers 25, Israel had played the HARLOT, they bowed down to foreign gods, intermingled with the people of Moab, when the Lord said “DON’T DO IT”
So the anger of the Lord was aroused, knowing if He let things continue, we would not be where we are today, prophecy needed to be fulfilled.
So God ordered the leaders of Israel to destroy the people who were disobedient.
God hasn’t changed, and sometimes, WHEN WE ARE DISOBEDIENT, WE DESERVE OURSELVES. “
Numbers 25: 14-19
14 Now the name of the Israelite who was killed, who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader of a father’s house among the Simeonites. 15 And the name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a father’s house in Midian.
16 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 17 “Harass the Midianites, and [c]attack them; 18 for they harassed you with their schemes[d] by which they seduced you in the matter of Peor and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a leader of Midian, their sister, who was killed in the day of the plague because of Peor.”
One of the things that is clear to me, is God does not want us to allow evil to prevail in the land.
So rise up people of God, occupy the land until His return”
And do not forget, evil is defined by God, not us. The steadfast Word of the Lord does not change. That is a warning to me too. I am so grateful that He loves us enough to warn us. ❤️❤️
