“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

John 4: 26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah 

We, the bride, the church should worship God in spirit and in truth.

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 gather together everyday as a church and worship God, and we meditated this along with explanation with patterns. Also, when the church gathers together and worships God, the deeds of the Gentiles, that is the evil deeds that are in us God removes from us and he will cleanse us and there is no change in that.

Next, what we are meditating is that Judges 1: 21 – 36 But the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; so the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

And the house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the Lord was with them. 

So the house of Joseph sent men to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city was formerly Luz.) 

And when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, “Please show us the entrance to the city, and we will show you mercy.” 

So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go. 

And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.

However, Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land. 

And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites under tribute, but did not completely drive them out.

Nor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; so the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.

Nor did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites dwelt among them, and were put under tribute.

Nor did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Acco or the inhabitants of Sidon, or of Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, or Rehob. 

So the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.

Nor did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh or the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but they dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were put under tribute to them.

And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountains, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley; 

and the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; yet when the strength of the house of Joseph became greater, they were put under tribute.

Now the boundary of the Amorites was from the Ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela, and upward.

When we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses, because the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; so the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day. And the house of Joseph also went up against Bethel. Because the Lord was with them, they sent men to spy out Bethel. The name of Bethel was formerly Luz. And when the spies were leaving the city, they saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, “Please show us the entrance to the city, and we will show you mercy.” So when that man showed them the entrance to the city, they entered into the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go. And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.

But because the tribe of Manasseh did not drive the inhabitants of many villages and cities, the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land. When Israel became strong, that they put the Canaanites under tribute, but did not completely drive them out. Nor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites completely so the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them. The tribe of Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites dwelt among them, in Gezer and were put under tribute. The tribe of Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of seven cities. So the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land.  The tribe of Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh or the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but they dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountains, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley; and the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; yet when the strength of the house of Joseph became greater, they were put under tribute. Now the boundary of the Amorites was from the Ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela, and upward.

My dear people, regarding the twelve tribes we have been meditating upon them since the past many days.  But we also meditated regarding distributing the land and inheriting it. But they did not drive out the Gentiles from each person’s land, few people were put under tribute. But some tribes were not able to do anything. What this shows is that God is explaining along with patterns that in our inner deeds, we are not removing our evil deeds and he is showing this. Because we are in this manner, we are not able to sanctify God.

Not only that, we are not able to attain the image of God and do good deeds and we are living our old traditional life or more than what we were before we will be a snare for our soul and will cause wickedness and many do not participate in the worship of God and walk according to their desire and all these things God is showing together and to overcome all these our Lord Jesus Christ as one who has overcome death and hell he rises in our soul and with his double edged sword carried in his mouth with the authority to strike the Gentiles he overcomes and rises in our soul. Then the church of Christ is being manifested. In this manner, the twelve tribes he unites in one stone and makes them one building and to worship God in spirit and in truth he showers his grace.

Let us submit ourselves to receive this kind of blessing from God through Jesus Christ.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
