Permanently in His presence

‎Today we have a mission, which is to take territory. Our names are already on it but we need to be in the right position to be able to do that.

‎Welcome to the house of bread, we are one family rooted in Christ, commissioned for greater works, if you are new don't worry you are at the right place.

‎Let's pray:

‎Dear Lord, thank you for your bread, let your word sink deep into our hearts and stir up a current within, let it be planted to bear lots of fruit, Amen.

‎Let's break bread:

‎We would be in the book of Numbers, chapter 17. Before we dive in, let me give you a background. The people of Israel are free from Egypt and have been walking in the wilderness.

‎During the journey others incited a rebellion against Moses and Aaron. This provoked the Lord's anger. Many died during the rebellion.

‎Now in order to stop all this the Lord gave Moses sets of instructions.

‎He said to Moses; all leaders of each tribe are to present their staff to Moses with their names inscribed on it.

‎Moses is to place it in the Tabernacle in front of the Ark of the covenant, in the Lord's presence, at their meeting place and buds will sprout on the staff the Lord chooses.

‎Numbers 17:6-11(NLT)

‎6 So Moses gave the instructions to the people of Israel, and each of the twelve tribal leaders, including Aaron, brought Moses a staff.

‎7 Moses placed the staffs in the Lord's presence in the Tabernacle of the Covenant.

‎8 When he went into the Tabernacle of the Covenant the next day, he found that Aaron's staff, representing the tribe of Levi, had sprouted, budded, blossomed and produced ripe almonds!

‎9 When Moses brought all the staffs out from the Lord's presence, he showed them to the people. Each man claimed his own staff.

‎10 And the Lord said to Moses: "Place Aaron's staff permanently before the Ark of the Covenant to serve as a warning to rebels. This should put an end to their complaints against me and prevent any further deaths."

‎Notes:

‎•Permanently in His presence: No matter the seasons, we will be successful in what each stage requires of me. Example if it's a season for harvest, since I'm in His presence He would grant me harvest and the ability to harvest.

‎•The staff is to support or aide in walking, climbing and leading sheep: This means our support comes from His presence, He is my aide, He is the system, the strategy for my life walk on this earth, my assurance and help in climbing Rocky areas, He is my leader and head and we lead others from His table.

‎• I am chosen and all we need is catered for already.

‎Let's pray:

‎Father we thank you for your word which confirms, who you are to us and what you've done in us, we receive your love and thank you for choosing us, Amen.

‎The Lord stands at the door of your heart and knocks.

‎If you don't know Him, He knows you and wants to love you and tell you about yourself and reveal many hidden gifts, He has place inside of you.

‎If yes, say with me:

‎Dear Jesus, come into my heart, I make you my Lord and Savior, I repent of my sins, I believe you died on the reconcile me back to God, I receive your love and new life, Amen.

‎You are permanently in His presence!
