église AB Lausanne ; KJV Judges 1 Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand. And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him. And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men. And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites. But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died. Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire. And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley. And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba:) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai. ...
église AB Lausanne ; KJV Joshua 20 The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses: That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood. And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them. And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime. And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled. And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjath-arba, which is Hebron, in the mountain of Judah. And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation. ...
église AB Lausanne ; KJV Joshua 15 This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast. And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward: And it went out to the south side to Maaleh-acrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh-barnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa: From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast. And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan: And the border went up to Beth-hogla, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben: And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel: And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward: And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjath-jearim: And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to Timnah: ...
église AB Lausanne ; KJV Genesis 23 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah. And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her. And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying, I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight. And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him, Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead. And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth. And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar, That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you. And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying, ...
église AB Lausanne ; KJV 1 Chronicles 13 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader. And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us: And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul. And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim. And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it. And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart. And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets. And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God. ...
“The earth is the LORD'S, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters. Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? Several weeks ago, we mentioned in one of our chats how Psalms 22, 23, and 24 form a trilogy on Christ the Shepherd. These three Psalms give us a clear picture of how the Lord Jesus Christ is the Shepherd of our Souls. In Psalm 22, we saw how Jesus is the Good Shepherd Who suffers and dies for the sheep He loves. The companion New Testament passage is John 10:1-18. In John 10:11-15 Jesus is speaking and He says, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep…” In Psalm 23, we saw how Jesus is the Great Shepherd who lives for the sheep and cares for them. The companion New Testament passage is found in Hebrews 13:20-21. “Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.” Now in Psalm 24, the Jehovah, the Lord Jesus Christ Who is the Chief Shepherd returns in glory to reward His sheep for their service. The companion New Testament passage is found in 1 Peter 5:1-4. Peter reminded the elders that he had “witnessed the suffering of Christ” and was instructing them to “shepherd the flock of God” as good examples. Because one day, “When the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away” (v. 4). My friend, the Lord Jesus Christ is our Good Shepherd Who died for us. He is our Great Shepherd Who lives and intercedes for us, and one day Jesus will come back for us as the Chief Shepherd. Most commentators connect this psalm with David's bringing the ark of the covenant into Jerusalem (2 Sam. 6; 1 Chron. 15:1-16:3), and it may well be that David wrote it for that occasion. You might remember that the Philistines had captured it when Samuel was just a boy (1 Samuel 4-5). Thy kept it until diseases and death begin plague them and they finally returned it to Israel. The ark had resided at Kirjath-jearim on the western border of Benjamin in the rugged wooded highlands during the days of Samuel and Saul. David himself had made one disastrous attempt to bring it to Jerusalem after he had wrested the fortress of Zion from the Jebusites, and he began to set up his capital in Jerusalem (2 Samuel 6:1-11). Three months later David properly prepared the Levites to carry the ark and bring it home to the tabernacle in the city of Jerusalem (2 Samuel 6:12-19). Historians and Bible scholars tell us of the music and dancing, of the shouting and sacrifices which marked the triumphal entry of the ark into Jerusalem. Psalm 24 gives us the anthem which heralded the ark along the way. The people (or a Levitical chorus or choir) opened with verses 1-2. Then a choir leader asked the questions in verses found in verses 3, 8a, and 10a. The Levitical choir or the people would answer by singing verses 4-6, 8b and 10b. Later in history, it was sung in Herod's temple each Sunday, and some connect the psalm with our Lord's entrance into Jerusalem on what we call Palm Sunday. For years, the church has assigned this psalm to be read on Ascension Day, the fortieth day after Easter. Christians see Jesus Christ as "the Lord of Glory," first of all returning to heaven after His passion (Eph. 4:8; Col. 2:15), and then returning in glory to establish His kingdom (Matt. 25:31). This explains the repetition of "Lift up your heads" in verses 7 and 9. My friend, today we should “lift up our heads”! Our King of Glory is coming very soon for us! God bless!

And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the Lord God of your fathers hath given you?4 Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me.5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.6 Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord our God.7 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.8 And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the Lord in Shiloh.9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.12 And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Bethaven.13 And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether Bethhoron.14 And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Bethhoron southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.15 And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:16 And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,17 And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,18 And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah:19 And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the south coast.20 And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz,22 And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,23 And Avim, and Pharah, and Ophrah,24 And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,28 And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
église AB Lausanne ; KJV 2 Chronicles 1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers. So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness. But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it. And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it. In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. Now , O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? ...
Notes on the Journeyings of the Ark of God from Sinai to Zion.By Theophilus Ruse.Worship:Hebrews 9:14; Warfare:2 Corinthians 10:4; Work:1 Corinthians 15:58.London: C. A. Hammond, 3 & 4 London House Yard, Paternoster Row, E.C. 4. 1925. The Ark of the Testimony was a special type of the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as a symbol of the presence of God with His people Israel. This study has 10 Chapters. In all my podcasts I try to apply scripture to real-life experiences. And I expound on what I believe the scripture is trying to convey to us. We need to dig deep into God's Word to find out what life is all about, and how to live like God wants us to do and how to do it.

And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath–jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the Lord.
Tests Prove Who is the Bride (Audio) David Eells - 7/25/21 Man-child Tests and Choses the Bride Eve Brast - 7/20/21 (David's notes in red) I dreamed that I (Eve, the bride of the first Adam as a type of the Bride of the last Adam, Jesus.) was in a large convention center where a World Fair of some sort was being held. (The World Fair [which Eve did not know began Friday the 23rd in Japan so this is a confirmation of timing.] with all its events and attractions represents our lives and our walk through Babylon; the distractions and trials that we go through on our way through to conquering our promised land.) My oldest son, Noah, and I were signed up, along with a small group of people, to participate in all the different booths, activities, or “attractions” of the fair. (Noah and his family were the remnant who were saved in the flood. (Representing a time of judgment on the world. Major parts of the world are at this time being flooded by weather warfare and dams are being destroyed. Deep underground DS Military bases and tunnels are being flooded now.) They were a kind of first fruits of God's new creation after the flood. My son Noah was my first born son. (He represents a corporate body of the first fruits of the Bride body. Noah represents the spiritual man of the Bride body of believers and overcomers.) There were many other groups of people who were also signed up to participate in the different events. Everyone was hoping to receive the grand prize for the successful completion (overcoming in) of all of the events (or tests). There were lesser rewards to be had but, the grand prize was the most desirable reward and the one everyone was going for. (The prize itself was to be chosen as the Bride as we will see. It is important to note that the Church is not the Bride as some simplistically say, but is chosen out of the Church. Esther, the Bride, was chosen out of all the fair virgins of the kingdom to be the Bride of one who was at that time the”King of kings”. And this after Vashti was rejected because she did not obey the King. Also in SoS, the Shulammite, meaning perfected one, was chosen out of all the women of the kingdom. Son 6:8-9 There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, And virgins without number. 9 My dove, my undefiled, is but one; She is the only one of her mother; She is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; Yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her. Also in Psa 45 the Bride raised up the virgins to know the Lord. Jesus always taught in His parables the Jewish Marriage ceremony in which everyone was accounted for in the Church. There was the Bride, the virgins who escort her to the grooms home after the marriage feast, the friend of the Bridegroom, and those receiving the invitations. In Revelation 19 the Bride had on a lampros garment, meaning not only white but glowing. There we see that those invited had on a leukos garment meaning white. Of course the Bride does not receive an invitation to her own marriage. (Eve: Not everyone that starts out will finish the race in first place [to receive the crown]. Mat. 22:14 Many are called but few chosen. (Chosen here has more than one meaning depending on the text. There are those chosen to be in the Bride, virgins, Man-child, or to just be saved when many fall away, as in the parable of the sower.) 1 Co 9:24-27 Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain. 25 And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air: 27 but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.) As Noah and I looked around at all the different booths or activities, they all seemed very harrowing, challenging and difficult to endure. (Jesus said, “He that endureth [meaning the trials] to the end shall be saved.") Noah asked me, “Are you sure that you want to go through all of this? It all looks pretty hard!” (Luke 14:25-33 Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them, 26 If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete it? 29 Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him, 30 saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish… 33 So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.) (What tower do we need to build in our lives? It is Jerusalem who John in Rev 21:9 was told by an angel represents the Bride who was being born out of heaven. Mic 4:8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.) I said to Noah, “Well, it's the only way to receive the grand prize; so I guess so." I knew that one had to complete every event or trial successfully in order to win the grand prize. (So be diligent my friends to treat everything as a trial to win the prize. If you fail get up and get it right.) I also understood that there really wasn't a choice. We could either submit ourselves to each of the events or trials and contend for the grand prize or drop out of the competition and be disqualified. (The grand prize is "the high calling of God in Christ".) (God is sovereign over every trial and hardship we are subjected to in life. If we remember that he has ordained them and tailor made them for each of us out of love and care for our souls to mature and perfect us, then we will spend less time questioning God or being angry at God or wasting a lot of time in anger, resentment, unforgiveness and self-pity. We will be at peace; trusting God and focusing on fighting the good fight of the faith to overcome. Rom 8:28 And we know that to them that love God [whom He said would keep His commandments, which is the trial] all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose. God is not a liar! Believe what His Word says. 1 Co. 9:27 but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.) I wasn't sure, at this point in the dream, what the grand prize was, but I knew it was something that I had always wanted and that it was my heart's desire. (Psalm 37:4-5, Delight thyself also in Jehovah; And he will give thee the desires of thy heart. 5 Commit thy way unto Jehovah; Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.) The first event that we came to was called, “Can You Stand the Pressure?”. It was a very large and deep vinyl swimming pool; about 20 feet deep. The participants had to crawl underneath the bottom of the white, vinyl pool liner and withstand the weight and pressure of the water bearing down upon their frame for a certain length of time. (The number 20 can, at times, mean a complete or perfect waiting period. For 20 years Jacob waited to get possession of his wives and property, and to be freed from the control of Laban his father-in-law. For 20 years the children of Israel waited to be freed of Jabin, king of Canaan, who oppressed them. Gods response was to raise up Deborah and Barak, who freed the people from bondage. In the days of Samuel the prophet the Philistines battled and overcame Israel, taking the Ark of the Covenant back to their land. It ended up in the city of Kirjath-jearim, which is several miles west of Jerusalem. Israel had to wait at least 20 years before the Ark would be moved again. (Enduring the weight of the water in the swimming pool represents enduring the discipline of obeying the washing of the water of the Word. Under the water in our baptism is the place the old life dies and then the prize of the resurrection life of Christ comes at the end. 1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.) 2 Co. 4:7-11 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves; 8 we are pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair; 9 pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed; 10 always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus'sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.) If they succeeded to endure the water, then they were able to continue on to the next event, but many watched from the sidelines and became discouraged and disheartened immediately and refused to even attempt to participate in the event. This automatically disqualified them from the competition. (Many refuse to obey the word through faith to lose their old life by submitting to the washing of the Word as Jesus commanded. Mat. 16:25, For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.) (Mat 13:3-4,19 Behold, the sower went forth to sow; 4 and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them... 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the evil one , and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side.) The next event took place inside of a large, indoor aquarium tank filled with sharks. This event was called, “Do You Have the Faith?” The participants in this event had to tread water in the shark tank for a certain amount of time. (Like Noah we must stay above the waters of the curse of the word by faith or we die with the rest.) This was the most terrifying event for me because of a life-long fear of the ocean and of Jaws. At first I thought, “Okay, I can do this. I'll just tread water gently as to not excite the sharks and then they won't tear my limbs off.” (Many times we try to reason our way out of situations or think that we can utilize our own strength and ingenuity to get us out of trials or to get us through them. (God says in 1Jn 5:4 For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith. The sharks represent the faction and persecutors who try to provoke us to fear but they cannot when we walk by faith in the promises.) I then realized that the shark handlers, who were underneath the water in black scuba gear, were chumming the water all around us and I began to get fearful and panicky. (These shark handlers represent the demons. (Who provoke their human hosts which they possess to devour us like the dragon of Rev.12.) God allows them to bring trials and temptations upon us in order to prove us. (just as satan did Jesus) Chumming the water is when fishermen dump buckets of raw meat and blood into the ocean around their boats to attract fish or sharks on purpose.) This caused several of the people in our group to freak out and swim quickly to get out of the water, at which point they were disqualified from the competition. Heb 3:14 for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end: Mat 13: 5-6,20-21 5 and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth [I.e. to feed the plant]: 6 and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away... 20 And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it; 21 yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth.) I thought, “This might be the end for me.” But I was willing to sacrifice my life, if necessary, to not be disqualified from the competition. I knew I had to stay in that tank until my time was up; there was no going back. I had come this far. (Mat. 16:25, For whosoever would save his life shall lose it (his carnal or fleshly life): and whosoever shall lose his (Carnal) life for my sake shall find it.) So I began to pray and intercede and bind the sharks from attacking me and it worked! (Mat 18:18 Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.) They never got closer than 5 feet away from me and my son (Fruit), Noah. (If we submit ourselves to the crucified life, God will give us the grace to overcome the trials. James 4:7 Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.) I was so glad to have come through that trial unscathed and in one piece! I was praising the Lord for His Divine protection from the sharks and His faith, strength and resolve to endure that trial. (God always reminds us that His power is made perfect in (our) weakness. He will cause the situation to become too big for us so that we will turn to Him and exercise our faith in His ability to save, heal and deliver us.) The next event was called, “Will You Faint and Fall Away?" This event was like a “Tilt-a-Whirl” at an amusement park where people would go in and stand up against the wall of the ride. It would begin spinning really fast and then the bottom of the floor would drop out from under us. After getting off of this ride, I noticed several of the participants were dizzy and disoriented and they were fainting and falling out. Because of this they were also disqualified from the competition. (Life can go at a dizzying pace and we can become disoriented with the hectic pace and the many temptations and distractions in life. The enemy will take advantage of these times when we haven't stayed in the Word. He will cause us to become discouraged and weary in well doing. Gal. 6:7-9 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (We create our own future this way.) 8 For he that soweth unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Mat. 13:7,22 And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them… 22 And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.) The next event, or booth, was a shop filled with many different “lesser rewards” or trinkets and knick-knacks. (Which many people settle for) It was called, “What Will You Choose?” This was the last event or trial of the competition. As Noah and I looked around at all the different choices in the booth, I became overwhelmed. There were so many choices and all seemed very colorful and attractive, but none of it was my style. Nothing seemed like it would match the inside of my house. I said to Noah, “If this is all there is to choose from, then I won't choose any of it.” (The Bride wont settle for any of the things of this world. She only wants what the Holy Spirit of God wants for her. Est 2:15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai (representing the Holy Spirit) the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her.) At the moment when I was about to walk out empty handed, I noticed a figurine that had belonged to my maternal grandmother. I decided to choose it because I had always liked it growing up. (My maternal grandmother represents the ancient paths; the original church and the original church doctrines and teachings. Jer. 6:16 Thus saith Jehovah, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls:) As I walked out of the booth carrying my grandmother's figurine, I was met by David Eells. (As a type of the David Man-child reformers) I greeted him and said, “Boy, I sure hope I will win the grand prize.” He placed his right arm around my shoulder and shook me a little as he said, “Well, of course you're gonna win it! I'll make sure of that!” (The David Man-child reformers job is to raise up the Bride to be acceptable to the King like Mordecai did Esther. The Kingdom is being restored in the type of David ruling over Jerusalem the Bride. In Esther, none of the virgins were chosen to be in the Bride because they didn't please the Holy Spirit. And Vashti, who had the position, lost it because of rebellion against the Kings Word.) (Rom 8:28-30 And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn (Noah) among many brethren: 30 and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.) I thought to myself, “How can he be so sure that I'll win?” And then it was revealed to my understanding that David was the coordinator of the event and that he determined who would win the grand prize because he was the judge of all the events. (Jesus, who sat on the throne of David, chose the Bride when he chose His first disciples, who John the Baptist said was the Bride when he said, “He that hath the Bride is the Bridegroom". (Heb 12:22-23 but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,) I asked him, “What is the grand prize anyway?” He said, “It's your grandmother's house; bought and paid for!” (Which is the ancient Church's house, which we were never to depart from for man's religions.) When I heard this I was so happy and wanted to cry because, in real life, I had always admired and wanted to have my grandmother's house since I was a kid. In my opinion this was the best prize I could have received. (Mat. 13:8,23 8 and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 23 And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.) After this David sent me and Noah over to the administration offices to claim the grand prize of the competition. I had to fill out some paperwork and then the house would belong to me. I would now be the owner. (The marriage ceremony in ancient Israel that Jesus used in his parables so much, included the Ketubah. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketubah Ketubah - Wikipedia A Ketubah (Hebrew: כְּתוּבָּה ) is a Jewish marriage contract. It is considered an integral part of a traditional Jewish marriage, and outlines the rights and responsibilities of the groom, in relation to the bride.In modern practice, the ketubah has no agreed monetary value, and is seldom enforced by civil courts, except in Israel. en.wikipedia.org - A Ketubah (Hebrew: כְּתוּבָּה ) is a Jewish marriage contract. It is considered an integral part of a traditional Jewish marriage, and outlines the rights and responsibilities of the groom, in relation to the bride. In modern practice, the ketubah has no agreed monetary value, and is seldom enforced by civil courts, except in Israel.) Then, I don't know if the scene changed or if it was a separate dream but, the next thing I knew, Michael and I were standing at the doorway of David's master bedroom. The lights were on in the room. We were looking at David lying on a narrow cot with his arms crossed over his chest. (This is the position of death on a cot, which is a temporary resting place. As we know after the death of the David Man-child company comes their resurrection to the throne of God's authority. And then, like Jesus, their example, they chose the Bride as we just saw.) Michael said, “Is he still breathing?” I leaned in and took a closer look at his chest and didn't see his chest rising and falling. Then I said, “No. His chest isn't moving. He's dead!” Then the dream ended. Mat. 13: 3-23. And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow; 4 and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them: 5 and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6 and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them: 8 and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He that hath ears, let him hear… (And the fruit of the sower, who was Jesus, is the manifestation of His Word in us. He is the Word made flesh and so must we be.) 18 Hear then ye the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the evil one , and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side. 20 And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it; 21 yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth. 22 And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23 And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. How quickly God will forget your past if you repent!! Eze 18:21-24 But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22 None of his transgressions that he hath committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; and not rather that he should return from his way, and live? However 24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. So what shall we do? Php 3:12-15 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before. 14 I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, this also shall God reveal unto you: What are the advantages of Being in the Bride? They sit next to the King forever in the highest Holy of Holies like the Bride in Psalm 45. In Joel 2, as righteous Jerusalem, they escaped the beast who captured the rest of God's people in a tribulation. They conquered the Assyrian beast to save God's people. In Esther she had the Love, respect and ear of the King and brought down the beast Haman and his people to save the people of God. In SoS she raised up her little sister, the rest of the people of God, to enter the presence of the King. In the Gospels they raised up the Church and ordained the 5 fold ministries. In Rev. 3, the Philadelphia Church of brotherly love, they escaped the hour of trial that came on the rest of the Church and the whole world. This is not a rapture, she is supernaturally spared for she is not under the curse as we have seen. They were given the name of the New Jerusalem she is born from heaven and God's new name was written upon them. God's Hand Protects the First Fruits Claire Pienaar - 6/28/21 (David's notes in red) I dreamed my husband Riaan and I, together with some others whom I did not recognize, were standing on the white deck of a boat. (This represents the remnant first fruits who are in God's Ark of safety floating above the waters of the curse.) I saw a hand come out of heaven and I heard the words from our Father say, “My hand covers my people.” (Psalm 91:1-12 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. 3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. 9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. 11 For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.) There was a tremor, or a push or jolt from somewhere. (Representing the tribulation shakings that are coming upon the world to get the attention of God's elect.) We fell overboard into the water below. (This represents being plunged into the tribulation in order to overcome the curses of this world.) God's hand literally came into the water with us and became as a glass sheet between us and a giant sea creature. It was black and white like an Orca whale and had really sharp teeth. (This black and white sea creature represents the beast in the sea of this world. The beast is always looking to devour God's people like the dragon of Rev.12. The black and white means It has also been dictating to this world what is true and false and what is right and wrong Rev. 12:13-17 And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man-child. 14 And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. [the woman here is the Church but within this larger body is the chosen bride.] 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus.) Our skin was glossy or shiny. (Representing the Bride's lampros garments which are the righteous acts of the saints according to Rev.19.) It was like God's hand had emitted some sort of repellent onto us so the sea creature could not devour us. There was no fear or confusion, and we breathed easily underwater. (Meaning the waters of the curse can not kill them.) We were so small compared to this sea creature; we looked like shrimp. God's hand was over us the whole time. (Isa. 43:1-5 But now thus saith Jehovah that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine. 2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in thy stead. 4 Since thou hast been precious in my sight, and honorable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men in thy stead, and peoples instead of thy life. 5 Fear not; for I am with thee…) I asked the Lord for a word by faith at random and received Ezekiel 18:19 “Yet say ye, Wherefore doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.” (They are not under the genetic curse of the adamic nature passed down through their parents.) I asked Him for another Word, specifically about His hand, and received Hebrews 3:7, with my finger on Holy Spirit. (In context 7-9) 7 Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness (tribulation), 9 Where your fathers tried me by proving me, And saw my works forty years (the number of tribulation). The False House of Satan Graham Gelinas - 6/29/21 (David's note in red) Andrew Gelinas said, “My youngest son Graham, who is seven, had this dream. I wrote it down for him and I tried to stay as true to his words as possible. Graham said, I dreamed I was at the playground, and Daddy was talking to another grown-up nearby, as my sister, and two brothers played. Then a weird guy came up to me. He had long black hair in a topknot, a pointy black beard, and was wearing a long sleeved blue shirt, purple shorts, and shiny black dress shoes. He seemed like a homeless person because his clothes were shredded up, and he walked crooked like someone who was drunk or like he had two broken legs. (This is satan who walks crooked and he is homeless because he is rejected from God's true house.) He asked me "Do you want a house?” (Andrew: In the natural, we are very thankful and content with being able to rent the house we're in now. But satan has tried and failed many times in the past to try to tempt us to want more. In the same way he did to Jesus in the wilderness. I guess he figured, since he failed at snaring me, he'd try enticing my youngest son. Too bad for him, Graham loves the Lord, and already has more of the Word in him at seven years old, than 90% of the apostate church! (The tempter is always trying to lead the immature into the house of dead religion.) I hesitantly answered “Sure.” But I didn't really feel like I wanted it. (The Spirit says, NO) Then the man answered, "Good! It's right down the street.” So we went to look at it. The house was a blackish-gray colored, creepy looking mansion with two floors and a basement. (Satan has been successful in tempting many to accept a house that is not God's House. This house represents the dead [gray] and dark [black] house of “creepy” false religion. And there is convenient access to them for they are "right down the street”. Then the sky got dark all of the sudden and it started to rain so we went inside. (The coming storm will tempt many to take shelter in the houses of false religion at first but like many of us they will recognize that something is morally and Biblically wrong there.) There were cobwebs and spiders in all the corners and in the center of the house. (These spiders and their webs represent the demon spirits and their traps that are multiplied in our lives as a result of disobedience.) There were two staircases; one going up, and the other down. I went downstairs into the basement after I heard something fall. I saw that it was a large fruit tree, encircled by seven smaller dead plants. (Many “fall” in these impostor houses and lose their fruit and the divisions of the larger fruit tree that fell come from the seven churches of revelation. The promise in each of these are "to him that overcometh” and they fall because they become convinced there that they dont have to overcome.) The seven plants were wilted in a way that made them appear to be bowing down to the large fallen tree. (This is because they all are part of the corporate fallen tree of dead religion called the harlot because they are unfaithful to the seed of God which is His Word and are instead full of the seed of the world and satan.) The fallen tree was covered in green leaves and had the forbidden fruit all over it. (The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil according to man, which we are not to partake of.) Then, as I was looking at it, it suddenly rose back up, then fell down again. But this time, it stayed down, shriveled up, and died forever. Then the seven little plants encircling it, snapped in half, and fell to the ground. And they died forever too. (Many of the apostates who stay in the apostate organized church system will end up in hell for eternity because they worshipped a false Jesus and will not come out from among them to follow the reformers with the true Word. This is just as it was in Jesus' day.) Then we drove back home. We went home, but it was our true home. (Some who escape the false house will return to their old home which is the original and true home of early discipleship to Christ.) That's when I woke up and I felt shivery. (Yes. It's a cold cruel world among apostate Christianity; living under the curses of sin and rebellion to God's Word and separated from Christ by their own self-works.) (I prayed with Graham, asking the Lord for a verse by faith at random. Then I held out the Bible to Graham, and flipped the pages rapidly as he closed his eyes and stuck his finger down on a page. His finger landed on the word “Hand” in Mark 12:36 David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies beneath your feet.) (The Lord put the sheep on His right and He will put their enemies under their feet. The goats will be on His left and will be left. 2Co 6:14-18 Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, 18 And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. Come out of Man Made Religion Claire Pienaar - 7/5/21 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was in a really shabby looking resort. (A resort is a self-contained commercial establishment that tries to provide most of a vacationer's wants, such as food, drink, lodging, sports, entertainment, and shopping, on the premises. This shabby resort represents the Babylonish religious system of easy self serving Christianity.) There were many dark people there and I wanted to leave. (They have departed from the Word and into darkness.) The sky was blue and it was sunny outside. However, these people were being lazy and entitled and I did not want to be with them. (Eph 5:15-16: Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.). (Those who are trapped in Babylon are walking in darkness. They are lazy and entitled having no desire to seek the Lord or sanctification, but the Lord will call His elect and give them spiritual discernment and a desire to want to come out of Babylons religion.) I had no way of traveling, and I was unsure how I'd leave this place. (We must trust God, no matter what our circumstances are). (With all the allure of the easy wide road leaving looks like a wilderness but when the Lord calls His people out He will make a way. Acts 13:17-18 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led he them forth out of it. 18 And for about the time of forty years as a nursing-father bare he them in the wilderness.) One of the men there had a self-pedaling car with a black wire frame and a plastic black chair for a seat. This vehicle was horrible, slow, and unbelievably unsafe. I could not believe he used it to travel on a highway, and I was very concerned about using this, especially on a highway. (Our own ways are so unreliable and dangerous; we should be concerned with keeping on the narrow way with the Holy Spirit as the guide for our vehicle at all times). (Trying to please God through self-efforts and self-works, represented by the self-pedaling car, is dangerous to our salvation which is not by man's works as false Christianity is famous for.) I knew I needed to go into a city (Mount Zion) and thought I'd be travelling on a highway. (The Highway of Holiness is the only way to get to Mount Zion.) However, unbeknownst to me, this resort I was staying at was already in the city (Babylon) and only a few blocks from a very swanky department store that I was headed to. (I think this represents the Babylonish way of life that has permeated the Church.) (This department store represents fellowship with the world and its ways through buying and selling instead of giving and receiving. Everyone who is in the world participates in its ways.) It was such hard work to get to the store as this “vehicle” had a bent to only turn left. It took real effort to turn right at any time. (When our “vehicle”, which represents our lives or mobile tabernacles, is self-willed and rebellious it only wants to go left like the goats. This frustrates the spirit man who is always fighting to turn right and get on that Highway of Holiness.) I parked the vehicle and went into the department store. The store had an escalator going down and one going up. I used the one going up and it was supposed to have women's clothes, kids clothes and menswear. (The clothing of Babylonish religion cannot clothe our nakedness representing sin. The lampros clothing of the Bride is her righteous works. Rom 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.) Instead the top level only had rows and rows of perfumes. It was a whole floor just of perfumes. The smell was intense and very sweet so I did not stay long. (We received this text today in our morning prayer meeting which speaks of the allure of the harlot religious system. Pro 7:17-23 I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; Let us solace ourselves with loves. 19 For the man is not at home; He is gone a long journey: 20 He hath taken a bag of money with him; He will come home at the full moon. 21 With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield; With the flattering of her lips she forceth him along. 22 He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or as one in fetters to the correction of the fool; 23 Till an arrow strike through his liver; As a bird hasteth to the snare, And knoweth not that it is for his life. The world likes to try to make itself appealing by masking its filthy stench with sweet smelling attractions to the flesh, but God's elect, by His grace, will see through it and be repulsed. Rev 3:15-19 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and that the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.) I walked out and went down the elevator and hopped on this strange vehicle again and tried to get back to the resort. It was now dark and there were neon lights and lewd images that peaked out of every corner. (Once God's elect have their eyes opened through the Word of God, they are able to see the evil that is all around them. Heb 5:12-14 For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food. 13 For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. 14 But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.) When I got back to the resort, my children wanted to swim in the river that went around it, like a moat. It had rapids which got deeper and more dangerous at every turn. Initially, I was distracted and said “Ok” to my children playing in the moat and in the rapids, but then I had a discernment and I went to rescue them just in time from the last rapid that would have killed them. My children were quite young in the dream and were not good swimmers. (When we get distracted by life or the things of the world and we don't stay in the Word then we are in danger of falling under the curses on this life style and of losing our fruit which represents Christ in us.) I asked God for a word by faith at random and put my finger down on “sin”: John 15:22 “If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin.” (God has insured that we have His Word, which is Christ. He speaks to us every time we read it and His Word trains our conscience. No one will have any excuse before God when they stand in the judgment. Even ignorance will not be an excuse.)

This message begins with a short hymn verse considering, -Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing to introduce the message on the subject of Memorial. Today we are looking at an account of a memorial concerning Israel and its revival of worship and the ark of God was safe at Kirjath-jearim yet the people were delinquent of true worship of the LORD. Samuel exhorts them , they lament before the Lord, Samuel calls them to fast, pray, and confess their sin of following Baalim and Ashtaroth, the false gods of Canaanite deities. After their confessing God delivers them from their Philistine enemies and they are victorious by the might hand of God.
