“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Psalms 26: 11, 12 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me.
My foot stands in an even place; in the congregations I will bless the Lord.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
Hallelujah
In us, the bride, the church the changes that come from the beginning till we attain fullness – as a pattern.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that we, the bride, the church should be careful so that we do not follow the evil deeds that we have left again, and we must safeguard our souls so that they do not perish and regarding this we meditated the verses that God told us.
Not only that, next the fact regarding what we are meditating is Joshua 24: 1 – 14 Then Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem and called for the elders of Israel, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of the River in old times; and they served other gods.
Then I took your father Abraham from the other side of the River, led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants and gave him Isaac.
To Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. To Esau I gave the mountains of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
Also I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to what I did among them. Afterward I brought you out.
‘Then I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.
So they cried out to the Lord; and He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, brought the sea upon them, and covered them. And your eyes saw what I did in Egypt. Then you dwelt in the wilderness a long time.
And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who dwelt on the other side of the Jordan, and they fought with you. But I gave them into your hand, that you might possess their land, and I destroyed them from before you.
Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose to make war against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you.
But I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he continued to bless you. So I delivered you out of his hand.
Then you went over the Jordan and came to Jericho. And the men of Jericho fought against you—also the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. But I delivered them into your hand.
I sent the hornet before you which drove them out from before you, also the two kings of the Amorites, but not with your sword or with your bow.
I have given you a land for which you did not labor, and cities which you did not build, and you dwell in them; you eat of the vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant.’
“Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord!
When we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses, the word of God is that Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem and called for the elders of Israel, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God. And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, when they dwelt on the other side of the River in old times; and when they served other gods, God called Abraham and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants and gave him Isaac and to Isaac he gave Jacob and Esau. To Esau he gave the mountains of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
Then the thing that happened is that what God said is that he sent Moses and Aaron to Egypt and plagued the Egyptians with plagues and made the Israelites to come out from the midst of them and when he brought them by the way of the sea, because the Egyptians pursued the Israelites, he made the sea come upon them and after your eyes had seen how the sea had covered the Egyptians, they dwelt in the wilderness for a long time. After that, he brought you into the land of the Amorites, who dwelt on the other side of the Jordan, and when they fought with them that he gave them into the hands of the Israelites, that they might possess their land, and he destroyed them from before the face of the Israelites. Then Balak the son of Zippor, who came to know this sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse the Israelites. But because God would not listen to Balaam; therefore he continued to bless the Israelites. In this way I delivered you out of his hand said the Lord.
Then he made you to come over Jordan to Jericho and delivered all the Gentiles there into the hands of the Israelites. Also, the two kings of Amorites you did not chase with your swords or bow. But he sent the hornet before you and drove them out. In this manner, I have given you a land for which you did not labor, and cities which you did not build, and you dwell in them; you eat of the vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant says the Lord.
My dear people, when we see the facts regarding the previous portions from our beginning God is changing our deeds one by one and is cleansing them and correcting us and the enemies that are arising against us the way God is chasing them and after that our soul becomes as Christ, the city and that becomes our dwelling place and as the body of Christ, the church, the garden and as the garden of God and God is giving us his strength, the food to eat.
Therefore, we must fear God and serve him uprightly and truthfully and put away all the gods of the Egyptians and serve only God.
In this manner, let us submit ourselves and inherit the blessings.
Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
