God’s Preparation For His Ultimate Purpose In What He Has Called Us To Birth

 Scripture: I Corinthians 10:1-12

The very thing we’ve been reading in Numbers is mentioned in the New Testament as an example. The spies are a perfect example for us of what not to do, how to ek-luo ( ekluo means—to weaken, to have one’s strength relaxed, to be exhausted instead of persevere, to grow weak, to grow weary and be tired out, to become despondent or faint hearted). Verse 11 says, “Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come.” In verse 11 God chooses to train us in such circumstances and situations. He leads us into places of impossibility as a boot camp for preparation for fulfilling His ultimate purposes. The Red Sea was the preparation ground for them, and God brought them through. Now they were ready to go in for themselves, but they had to stand believing God. If we look back in our lives, I’m sure we can see many the preparation ground experiences of God’s preparation for His ultimate purpose in what He has called us to birth. What we have to remember is that God is bigger than all the giants combined. Amen. Be courageous and strong and birth something these 40 days. Plant seed for your future if Jesus tarries you may yet be harvesting in 40 years’ time from this fasting and prayer. Don’t let the nay sayers ask you what have you achieved in 40 days? Never give diabolus a chance.

Acknowledging what is in you-Phm 1:6

I am healed by His stripes; I am healthy by His stripes. I walk in divine health, and I bring divine healing. I preach the Gospel. I proclaim liberty to the captives. I set them free. I don’t judge; I don’t decide. I do not qualify people. I set them free so that the goodness of God can draw them to repentance.

They repent, meaning they change their minds, concerning sin, concerning the world, and even concerning God. They change their minds because God gives me wisdom against which no man can gainsay. God gives me wisdom to win any person to whom I speak.

I walk in the power of Jesus Christ. I walk in the power that God has poured through Him. The power of Jesus Christ is the power I walk in. It is His power.
