Double Edged Sword >> Judgement Cuts Both Ways
-
Conviction that came at the end of the Friday kesha
-
See if I can paint the picture
5780 + 2020 = God’s calendar / man’s calendar
-
5780: Mouth & year of the Ox = Kingdom focus & persistence (faith with actions) of what you declare & decree = established
-
>> You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways…Job 22:28 (NKJV)
-
2020 Double hand, double blessing
-
>> Hand of God + hand of man = A sword for the Lord and for Gideon… Judges 7:20
-
>> God has broken through my enemies by my hand like the breakthrough of waters….1 Chronicles 14:11
-
>> What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?… Romans 8:31 (NKJV)
-
… it is not about waiting on God…asking when will He do it >> He is waiting for us
Why is this important??
Sons of Issachar
-
Understand the times and know what Israel should do…1 Chronicles 12:32
Waters are stirring in 5780 / 2020 —
-
Pool of Bethesda – Man unwell 38 years >> Jesus wants to visit us in our stubborn situations
-
>> Urging us to get up, pick up our mat and walk into our divine destiny…John 5:8
-
… Walk out into our healing & restoration,
-
… manifested as breakthrough & magnification
-
>> Don’t miss your day / year / decade of visitation
5780 / 2020 >> Mouth / Hand >> ASK / PUSH
-
ASKing >> Ask Seek & Knock = Receive, Find, Open
-
PUSHing >> Praying Until Something Happens
Mouth & Hand are connected… & a very effective weapon against the enemy
-
S-Word >> Spiritual Word
-
Sword is handled by the hand
-
Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God … Ephesians 6:17
-
Picture of >> Faith backed with actions >> Wielding the Sword of the Spirit
-
How do I handle the Word of God?
-
>> Do I perish for lack of knowledge?
Psalm 149:6-9 (NKJV)
-
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,
-
To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples;
-
To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron
-
To execute on them the written judgment— This honor have all His saints. Praise the LORD!
A sword for the Lord and for Gideon… Judges 7:20
Year of Dabo Dabo
-
Double blessings or double for our trouble…
-
Double trouble for our enemies
>> Forgetting the double edged sword >> Judgement / Sword cuts both ways
-
…John 5:14 (NKJV)
-
Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”
-
Hebrews 4:12 (NASB)
-
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Conviction from Friday Kesha.. .
- How many of us are still playing with sin in a fire- fire church?
-
What area of my life is still in compromise?
Therefore for example…
-
Careful when I am calling on breakthrough
-
… something’s only God can sort out in our lives
-
Comes with the presence or glory of God
-
….either way, God has to check into that situation & manifest Himself as the Great I Am
-
>> He can be whatever we need Him to be in whatever situation – Nothing is impossible for God
-
>> Jehovah Rapha – Healer, Jireh – Provider, Shalom – Peace
Means there is judgment that we are calling forth against the enemy to release our blessings
-
Sickness has to be judged for healing to take place & sustained in our lives
-
Poverty has to be judged for the provision of God to take place and be sustained…
-
>> Breaking off what is ours from the hand of the enemy
-
Promised Blessing >> We shall prosper & be in health even as our soul prospers…3 John 1:2
Pharaoh & Egyptian god’s were judged & Israelite’s were released and blessed with wealth
-
>> Judgement and blessing have a connection
But
-
Judgement is not a respecter of persons >> Double edged sword
-
>> God is a Holy God & does not compromise with sin
-
… whether in the old testament… where it seems God was harsh…
-
??.. even now… did God become softer?
-
… Jesus came and took up God’s wrath for us >> dispensation of grace
-
>> Israeli households had to be under the blood of the lamb to escape the judgement from the angel of the Lord >> Pass over … Exodus 12
Joshua 5:13-14 (NKJV)
-
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?”
-
So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”
Like an all consuming fire >> can be good or bad depending on WHAT / WHO we are made of
-
When it burns it will either …
-
Purify us >> transformed into the image & likeness of Christ from glory to glory… 2 Corinthians 3:18
-
…or destroy us >>
# WHO or WHAT do I have more of in me?
- As I approach the presence of the Holy God
- >> Ministry, alter service , Praise & Worship
- >> Am I in danger of destruction or positioned for purification?
- … Ananias and Sapphire in their minds thought they were doing good….
- … but the thoughts and intentions of the heart brought judgement on them
I recently heard a man of God say…
- Within the anointing you can lie
- … but within the Glory, you can die
We are possibly entering the dispensation of the Glory of God…
- Where there is no compromising with sin…
In the dispensation of the Glory of God…Where He manifests Himself in one way or another…
….We are being called to put our houses in order
… In all its forms…
-
Whether our own body, families, churches, country
-
God is about to visit us – Noah, Moses & Pharaoh
-
May it not find us on the wrong side
-
But inside Yeshua… Noah and his family
-
… Under the Blood of the Lamb – Moses
Prayer >> Focus on Repentance & Righteousness
-
As we seek breakthrough through the Breaker >> Baal Perazim …2 Samuel 5:20
-
>> Jehovah Sabaoth – Lord of Hosts …Lord of Heavens Armies
-
To seek first the kingdom of God & His righteousness
-
Then all other things we desire in our lives will fall into place… fruit that lasts
-
>> what does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul…Mark 8:36
Create in me a clean heart oh Lord and renew a right spirit within me
May I receive the fear of the Lord upon my heart.
Psalm 24:3-6 (NKJV)
3. Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who may stand in His holy place?
4. He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
Nor sworn deceitfully.
5. He shall receive blessing from the Lord,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6. This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face. Selah
