Warriors Arise: January 12, 2021
Joshua 4:19-24 (NKJV) Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they camped in Gilgal on the east border of Jericho. 20 And those twelve stones which they took out of the Jordan, Joshua set up in Gilgal. 21 Then he spoke to the children of Israel, saying: “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, ‘What are these stones?’ 22 then you shall let your children know, saying, ‘Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry land’; 23 for the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over, 24 that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty, that you may fear the Lord your God forever.”
God did the miraculous. For some of the children of Israel they remembered the life of slavery in Egypt. They had seen God defeat the gods of Egypt. They remembered God opening the waters of the Red Sea and the journey to Mt. Sinai to meet with God. The deeds of mind-boggling wonder God did for them in the wilderness; water coming from a rock, quail dropping from the sky feeding them for a month, mana everyday, and their clothes didn't wear out for 40 years. This marker, the twelve stones set up in the land of Gilgal, was to be a way for them to remember what God did to bring them into their promise land. It wasn't a matter of if someone asked, it was when they asked, "What are these stones?" Then they would give the answer. There was a time when we were persecuted, enslaved, and rejected God's plan but in His mercy He fulfilled His Word. God delivered us from slavery, from our own rebellion, and brought us into the land He promised us through His miraculous ways.
What does it take for you to recognize God's intervention?
When there is no way?
Faced with the impossible?
Other's have tried and failed?
The enemy/bully/liars back you into a corner for a beating and to take from you?
How bad does a situation have to be for you to recognize God intervened? I don't like it when things have to get so bad there is absolutely no way to turn around, no way out, no way through. However, when we are faced with the lies of the enemy, people not wanting the truth, others not doing their jobs to rectify the truth; it is the perfect time for people who aren't even Christians to recognize the turn around could only have happened because of God. The people who rejected the truth now seek the truth can only be by the power of the Holy Spirit. The way through can only happen because Jesus opened the door.
Prepare yourself because we are in the preferred position to see God do the miraculous. Our backs are against the wall; we can't turn around. The path before us is blocked; we can't go forward. The exits are all blocked; there is no way out. The lies are being believed as truth, because men are lovers of evil and enjoy the tickling of the ears. But my God, speaks the truth and the lies are exposed. My God makes a way out when there is no way. My God removes the road block so we can go forward. My God crushes the wall behind us so we can turn around and go. My God will not abandon His people. My God will release, "as it is in heaven, here on earth." My God will be known for what He has done to breakthrough the enemy's camp and set His people free.
We are set up in America for God to be known not only to His people but to everyone. God did the miraculous to get His people out of the life of slavery and into the land He promised. God will fulfill His promise to His people today. When He does what will you do to make sure you remember what He has done? What will you say when people ask about 2020 and 2021? God is not done. He will intervene for His people.
Father, I ask for You to release Your will here on earth as it is in heaven. You tell us that we are to rule here on earth as You do in heaven. I pray for justice to be released. I pray for treason to be exposed and gotten rid of. I pray for the deeds of darkness to come into the light. I pray for integrity to be honored in our land. I pray for wisdom to be released across our land. I pray for the Holy Spirit to call the warriors to battle for righteousness and the release of revival across our land. I pray for Your kingdom to come and Your will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Your Word says that You have already established a matter. I ask for You to remove the evil upon our land. I ask for You to speak to people and guide them in Your ways. We look to You to intervene on behalf of Your people. When You intervene everything changes and the enemy is defeated in Jesus' name amen.
