THE PLAN OF VICTORY
INTRO/
MUSIC
The simple things are usually the powerful things.
And so it is in the plan of God which He gives you for victory. Be
willing and obey is the admonition of the prophet Isaiah:
"If you are willing and obedient you will eat the good of the land;
but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured with the sword:
for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it." (Isaiah 1:19-20)
The beautiful purpose of this . . . and
the LOVE of God . . . is shown in the
previous verse:
"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though
your sins are as scarlet, they will be white as snow; though they
are red like crimson, they will be as wool." (Verse 18)
Israel's unbelief (except for Caleb and Joshua)
that they could take the Promised Land resulted in 40 years of
wilderness wandering. Have you been wandering
long?
Do you have great Spirit given goals that have been in you heart
and prayers for years but have not come to fruition yet?
Is it because you have failed to GO into the Promised Land . . . to
make that transition in FAITH? Have you been waiting for everything
to fall into place before you leave your comfort zone?
Like the monkey holding on to the banana in the jar, who couldn't
get his hand out to enjoy the banana, are you "holding on"
to your ministry . . . your business . . . your toys . .
. not releasing
them . . . so that you can make a NEW transition into greater
service and works for the glory of God, and for your blessing
as well?
MUSIC
RULE #1: UNBELIEF WILL KEEP YOU FROM YOUR TRANSITION!
When the children of Israel were about to attack Jericho, Joshua,
with the direction of the LORD, commanded the people, "You
shall NOT shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall a word
proceed out of our mouth, until the day I say unto you, 'Shout!'
Then you shall shout." (Joshua 6:10) They were commanded to
keep silence for seven days.
RULE #2: AT THE ONSET OF GREAT WORKS FOR GOD, DON'T TALK
MUCH . . . AND … ABOVE ALL, DO NOT SPEAK WORDS OF FEAR AND
UNBELIEF!
The spoils of Jericho were like the first fruits of harvest. It was
the first city they conquered in the Promised Land: their first
stage of the victory promised. And God commanded them NOT to keep
the spoils of the city for themselves.
"And you, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest
you make yourselves accursed, when you take of the accursed thing,
and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. But all the
silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated
unto the LORD: the shall come into the treasury of the LORD."
(Joshua 6:18-19)
The Hebrew root for the word "accursed" is
"cherem" and it ALSO means the "devoted
thing" or a "dedicated thing" depending
upon the context. In other words, what is devoted or
dedicated to God is accursed to man. If you keep back or steal
God's property, then YOU become accursed. (Hebrew
"charam").
MUSIC
God's people were promised success, but only if they walked
in obedience!
RULE #3: WHAT IS DEVOTED TO GOD IS ACCURSED TO
MAN!
A man named Achan did not obey and he took of the accursed things
which were devoted to God, so the anger of the LORD burned against
the children of Israel. By the way, the Hebrew word
‛Akan is from an unused root meaning “to
trouble,” or “troublesome.” The LORD told
Joshua that the man had stolen and deceived and put it among his
own stuff. The LORD said, "There is an accursed thing in your
midst, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies until you
take away the accursed thing from among you." (Joshua
7:13)
Then the man, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his
sheep, his tent, and all that he had (including what he stolen that
belonged to God) were burned with fire after the people of Israel
stoned them with stones according to the command of the LORD.
This reminds us of Ananias and Sapphira who sold an estate, and
kept back part of the proceeds, pretending to give ALL of it to the
treasury of the church. They lied to the Holy Spirit and
both of them died within three hours of each
other. (Acts 5:1-11)
MUSIC
RULE #4: NEVER LIE TO THE THE HOLY SPIRIT (RUACH HA
CHODESH)!
These two examples above also remind us of God's promise in the
book of Malachi.
"Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me. But you say, 'In
what way have we robbed You?' In titles and offerings. You are
cursed with a curse, for you have robbed Me, even this whole
nation." (Malachi 3:8-9) Notice again, the beautiful purpose
of this . . . and the LOVE of God . . . is shown in the following
verses 10-11:
:
"Bring all the tithes into the storehouse that there may be
food in My house, and PROVE ME now in this,"
says the LORD of hosts, "If I will not open for you the
windows of Heaven, and pour you out such blessing that there will
not be room enough to receive it."
"And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that he will not
destroy the fruit of your ground, nor shall the vine fail to bear
fruit for you in the field ..." says the LORD of
hosts.
NOTICE: God says you can
PROVE Him . . . you can find out FOR SURE . . . God is Who He says
He is: the great “I AM” . . . by paying Him tithes and
giving Him offerings!
RULE #5: IF
YOU ARE WILLING & OBEDIENT - YOU WILL EXPERIENCE GOD'S PLAN OF
VICTORY!
The whole rest of your life you will be blessed as you follow what I have taught you from God's Holy Word today.
Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.
