This month of supernatural provision is a month of manna being rained down from heaven. God is multiplying everything. It is a month of fruitfulness. Remember Jesus is the firstfruit who resurrected on Nisan 17 and we are the sons and daughters that come from Him. We are His multiplication. He broke the power of sin , death , and grave to release us from lack and deliver us into wholeness, fruitfulness & multiplication.This month we see a shift as the curse was broken at Jesus death, burial and resurrection , we are now in a garden that is full and complete. A place where we shift our mindset off of gain but instead to receive.In Exodus 16 the Israelites had to receive just what God gave while they were in the wilderness and He gave manna which is the bread of life ! Manna means “What is it” and it was delivered from the realms of life, it was pure, holy, tasted sweet like honey crackers, it was undefiled, and it was the fullness of Jesus. If you can be trained by God this month to subdue your flesh as he asked them to do on Shabbat you will enter a place where He will be your all.Read Exodus 16:27 -30 In this place everything, becomes easy and no struggle to gain. You live in a realm of faith where you know it's coming ! All that you need in every situation will be there. This is the identity He is trying to establish with the Israelites in the wilderness.It's like He's saying “Chill out - I've got this - stop trying to control it or manipulate it. That doesn't work in my garden. ” In His garden or heavenly places we steward in faith, this is a place where we ultimately know He has control over what belongs to Him and we're just helping Him tend it or till it. We are not really stopping anything or starting anything - we're simply in agreement with Him! We're in agreement with what He says and we obey Him from this place !Remember from 1 Samuel 5:22, ““Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,and to hearken than the fat of rams. “Read Deuteronomy 8 :3 Manna is the Word made manifest as Jesus was the Word made manifestWhen the Israelites ate manna they ate the Word. They partook of the completeness and wholeness of nothing missing or broken in Him!What is He saying to you this month ? Just do it ! I'll be there and I'll provide! Step out on faith !Read 1 Corinthians 15:20 We are the fruit of the first born Jesus and we are the evidence that His resurrection was complete!As we prepare for Feast of Shavuot or Pentecost , God is asking us to present ourselves as living sacrifices or fruit unto Him! He is multiplying and bringing order this month.Start the Month of Iyar with a copy of Dr Candice new book “365 Prophetic Revelations from Hebrew Calender”- go to www.Candice Smithyman.comhttps://amzn.to/4aQYoR0Classes START NEXT WEEK- Get signed up Now! - Join DREAM MENTORS and BECOME A CERTIFIED COACH!Do you want to be trained as good disciples or biblical life coach ?

No "I" in TEAM In Exodus 17, we see two powerful moments that reveal how God's provision and victory are often tied to the people He places around us. First, at Rephidim, Israel complains about their thirst, testing God rather than trusting Him. Moses, overwhelmed by their grumbling, turns to God—who provides water from the rock at Horeb, a foreshadowing of Christ, our ultimate source of life. But right after this provision, a new challenge arises—the Amalekites attack, targeting the weak and weary at the back of Israel's camp. This battle wasn't won by one man's strength but by teamwork—Joshua fought, while Moses lifted his hands in intercession, supported by Aaron and Hur. The lesson? No one wins alone. Whether we're in a season of testing or battle, we need the right people around us—people who hold us up, fight alongside us, and remind us of God's faithfulness. So, who's holding up your arms? And whose arms are you lifting? Let's talk about it in today's conversation. Exodus 17  Discussion topics Who in your life has been like an “Aaron or Hur” to you—someone who has supported you in a tough season?  Read Deuteronomy 25:17-18. The Amalekites attacked the weak and stragglers. How does this relate to how the enemy tries to attack us today? What "battle" are you facing right now where you need people to lift you up in prayer and encouragement?  Moses built an altar and called it “The Lord is My Banner” (Exodus 17:15). What does it mean for God to be your banner in daily life? Identify one person this week who you can support in prayer, encouragement, or practical help. Reach out and be their Aaron or Hur!

Happy New Year on the Gregorian Calender. We are concluding the Festival of Dedication on January 2 or Tevet 2 . The beginning of the Gregorian calender year is coordinating exact with the Hebrew calender month of Tevet which is very rare. This is the month of purification for both the Gregorian calender and Hebrew calender. Tevet or is from Hebrew word Tov which means Good ! This is a good month to start the new year and preparing our hearts and souls for purification. We dedicated our temple and now purification through fasting, praying and giving can begin! Watch my monthly teachings on first fruit to learn more the power of fasting, praying and giving in your purification. The vital scripture for this month is Matthew 22:36 where Jesus speaks of the greatest commandment which is the 1st commandment. A scribe approaches Him and says, “Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, ‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. ‘“Then in book of Mark 12:28 -31 we read, “And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? And Jesus answered him, ‘The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.”Our temples house the fire of the Holy Spirit and God is calling us to wash our souls with the truth of resting in our temples to break the power of toiling in 2025!

This week God says , “I am establishing a covenant of wealth with my people during Tabernacles! “Creative wealth abundance is to recognize God's heart for His people and His love relationship with us .It is to have a belief in His goodnessand to know He gives provision, protection and acceptance at it's fullness which means nothing missing or broken and that ALL has been redeemed and returned to us because of Jesus!For God to establish covenant wealth with us means He's taking us to a realm of faith for every need.It does not mean that tomorrow we will wake up with a million in your bank account. Although ALL things are possible when God establishes covenant wealth mindset in us.To establish covenant wealth is an attitude of prosperity. It is an attitude of knowing God's goodness always and the completion of all things in the new and living way because of Jesus' death, burial, resurrection and ascension.In order for us to experience the blessings of the promised land we must KNOW the God of The Promise.Read: Deuteronomy 8:3 Deuteronomy 8:17-18 Heb 10:16-17 There is no more need for a sacrificial offering - no more striving to meet the law or gain provision, protection and acceptance but instead completion of the atonement is finished now. So if we live out of not trying to DO to gain provision, protection and acceptance but instead to BE in Christ's righteousness then we have stepped into the eternal realm and by faith we have an now operate and that's covenant wealth abundance.In celebration and honor of the Feast of Sukkot or Tabernacles we are called to sow a holy offering unto the Lord during this feast.Read: Deuteronomy 16:16-17 Consider sowing your offering so that you can bless the Lord as He has blessed you!He says these 7 Blessings become ours during the Feast of Tabernacles from Joel 2:23-32 with financial abundance, double portion, restoration, miracles, God's divine presence, Blessings on sons and daughters, and everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved or delivered.If you feel led to sow into Candice Smithyman Ministries and help us pull children out of sex trafficking through our partnerships.

From the title we know a man named Asaph wrote Psalm 81. From the contents we know it wrote it specifically for the nation of Israel calling them to worship during one of the feast days. But we have no idea of when he wrote this Psalm in Israel's history. Because of that it appears that the Lord wanted it to be used to prompt all the generations of Israel to remember God's greatness, His goodness and mercy, and respond with obedience to His Word and worship.   I believe that this Psalm has a powerful application for us as believers today to remember how the Lord delivered us from our slavery to sin and the world, and how He desires to bless us if we obey Him and put Him first in all areas of our life. When I read this Psalm each month, I replace the name Israel, or references to them, with my name. For instance, in verse 8, “Hear, O My Michael, and I will admonish you.! O Michael, if you would listen to me!” And in verse 13, “Oh, that Michael would listen to Me, That Michael would walk in My ways!”   The last clause of verse 5 could be translated, "We heard a voice we had not known", referring to the message God sent in verses 6-10. At some point in the festal celebration, a priest received God's message and declared it to the people. The emphasis in this Psalm is on hearing the Word of God (vv. 6, 11,13; see 95:7-11 and Heb. 3). Every seventh year at the Feast of Tabernacles, the priests read the book of Deuteronomy to the people, and perhaps this was one of those special sabbatical years. Read Deuteronomy 31:9-13 and note the emphasis on "hearing God" (Also Deut. 4:1, 6,10; 5:1; 6:3-4; 9:1). It is delightful to sing praises to God and to pray, but if we want Him to listen to us, we must listen to Him.   Frequently the Lord reminded His people of their miraculous deliverance from Egypt (v. 6), the power of God that accomplished it, and the love of God that motivated it. He also reminded them of the covenant they accepted at Sinai (v. 7a; Deut. 5:2-3). The people hearing this message were not at Sinai, but the decision of their ancestors was binding on them and their descendants. God's message also mentioned their failure to trust Him at Meribah (Ex. 17; Num. 20). At the Feast of Tabernacles, the priests poured out water in the temple to commemorate these events (John 7:37-39). The Lord emphasized that He would not tolerate His people worshiping idols (vv. 8-9; Ex. 20:1-4; Deut. 4:15-20). What could the false gods of the neighboring nations give to them? God was ready to satisfy His people! "Open your mouth wide and I will fill it" (v. 10).   In verses 11-16, we are reminded that obedience, service and worship and service go together (Matt. 4:10; Deut. 6:13), and this means we must obey what the Lord commands. But the nation did not obey God's Word, and He had to destroy all the people twenty years and older (Num. 14:26). But this attitude of spiritual "deafness" and willful disobedience persisted even after Israel entered the Promised Land, as recorded in the book of Judges. (See 78:10, 17, 32, 40, 56.) The greatest judgment God can send is to let people have their own way (see Rom. 1:24, 26, 28). Had His people obeyed Him, the Lord would have kept the promises in His covenant and blessed them with protection and provision (Deut. 28:15; Lev. 26:17-20, 27-31). When we disobey the Lord, not only do we feel the pain of His chastening, but we also miss out on the blessings He so desires to give us. The Lord gave Israel water out of the rock, but He was prepared to give them honey out of the rock (Deut. 32:13). He sent manna from heaven, but He would have given them the finest of wheat. The word "if" (vv. 8&13) is small, but it carries big consequences (Deut. 5:29; 32:29; Isa. 48:18; Matt. 23:37). The Lord has given us the ordinance of the Lord's Supper to regularly remind us of the great sacrifice that He made to save us and deliver us from our sin! May the Lord help us to hear, to listen and to obey His Word today!   God bless!

Families have the most influence on the next generation—and God designed it that way to communicate His heart to future generations. Summer is often when families take vacation trips together. These trips can be a great opportunity for families to spend time together, show each other love, and model grace to the world. This series discusses both the importance of family relationships, and how parenting is a way for parents to help their children understand God's grace and love.QUESTIONS FOR THE ROAD:1. What is your Vision for your family? What does thinking backwards from that vision mean for you practically?2. How have you made your own devotion to God personal in a way that helps you model it to your children?3. Read Deuteronomy 6:7-9.

We continue to see Jesus challenged in the temple. The Sadducees bring to Jesus a question regarding the resurrection, hidden inside an absurd scenario based on a marriage commandment found in Deuteronomy 25. Jesus accuses them of not understanding both the Scriptures and God's power. We need the same lessons Jesus taught the Sadducees. We need to be reminded how easy it is to misinterpret Scripture and how dangerous it is to do so, because it leads to a distorted view of God. We, too, have a watered-down view of God's transcendent power. We, too, try to compare our earthly relationships to our heavenly ones. “Think of the best, greatest possible moment that you've ever experienced . . . then multiply that joy by a million, and then you may, just may, begin to appreciate the joy that God is preparing for you in heaven.” R.C. Sproul.Jesus responds to the scribe's question with a two-part answer. The first calls for a total, entire-being, response of love and devotion toward God. The second calls for love of neighbor, which includes our enemies, those that we find difficult, those that we disagree with. Both commands create tension, because we can't possibly achieve them, in our own strength at least. We rest knowing that Jesus fulfilled them perfectly on our behalf. But there's still action required or expected. Read Deuteronomy 6:4-9. How does this add to our understanding? “Loving our neighbor as ourselves” implies that we are to love ourselves, which may seem contradictory. The same God who tells us to love ourselves tells us to deny ourselves?!  But the more we deny ourselves, the more we become who HE created us to be, and the more we rightly love ourselves and recognize that we are the object of the redeeming love of God. AND the more we “turn out” that love toward others. The scribe's posture toward Jesus is interesting. He seems to genuinely want to know the answer to his question, and he responds positively, saying “You're right, teacher,” and acknowledging that “loving God and neighbor” is much more sacrificial than the burnt offerings and sacrifices they'd been traditionally giving for so many years. But there's still something missing. It's not enough to call Jesus “right,” we must call him “Lord.”

In this episode, we look at Moses's prayer in Psalm 90. Even though we're centuries removed from the wilderness wanderings, we can affirm with the man of God that life is short and can be extremely painful. In this psalm, we learn how to talk to God about our desire to make our mark on this world and our longing to be satisfied forever. Praying Psalm 90 Before praying, read Psalm 90 in its entirety at least once. If possible, read it more than once, aloud. Ask God to open your eyes to behold wonderful things in His Word. Read verses 1-2. Tell God why you are grateful that He is our dwelling place. Thank Him for His faithfulness in your life. Confess any times recently that you have sought rest somewhere apart from Him. If you lack a desire to abide in Him alone, confess that, and ask Him to help you seek Him first. Read verses 3-6. Consider the brevity of life. Even if you usually shy away from meditating on this less-than-comfortable topic, don't move on too quickly. Think about your life as a flood, a dream, a blade of grass. How does this reality shift your perspective about your priorities and preoccupations today? Confess to God where you need to refocus or reorder your priorities. Read verses 7-12. Ask God to increase your understanding of His wrath against sin—and to fear Him more and more. Thank God for Jesus, who drank the full cup of God's wrath against sin for you. Pray with Moses: “Teach me to number my days that I may present to You a heart of wisdom.” Ask for the Spirit's guidance so you can make the most of your time today. Read verses 13-17. Pray for the Lord to come—and come quickly. Until then, pray for God to satisfy you each day with His love. Ask for His grace to equip you to do all He has called you to do today and rest, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58). Want to study the themes in this passage further? Here are a few passages and reflection questions to consider: 1. Read Deuteronomy 33:1, Deuteronomy 33:26-29, and Isaiah 57:15. What do you learn about God? What similarities do you see to Psalm 90:1-2? 2. Read Genesis 3. Consider the curse of sin. Where do you see evidence of the curse in the world? What about in your own life? 3. How does the transitoriness of your life, as described in verses 3-6, compel you to view your time? How does an awareness of the brevity of life affect your schedule today? 4. Read Luke 22:39-45. How did Jesus view the cup of God's wrath? Take a few moments to thank Jesus for offering His body as a sacrifice for sin and satisfying God's wrath to bring us near to God and make us right with Him. 5. Read 1 Corinthians 15. How does Jesus' resurrection give us hope? How does His resurrection life infuse our lives with significance and meaning? 6. Read Matthew 5:6, Matthew 6:33, and Psalm 17:15. What is the only thing that satisfies us? How can your life reflect this truth more?

Welcome to my latest series, LIES GOOD MOMS BELIEVE!  In today's episode I am joined with Natalia Drumm, an author, Bible teacher, and host of the podcast Girlfriends in the Word. Together we are tackling the lie: you are too busy to read the Bible.  Whether you are sitting in a laundry room or a board room, God is calling us to love Him with everything that we have and that works out in our day to day, mundane everyday life. There is so much to juggle, between the toys everywhere, kids' homework, maybe running them off to soccer or piano lessons, how is there any time? On top of that, there's the guilt and shame for not meeting certain expectations. The guilt, shame, condemnation we may feel in the church for not doing what we're "supposed to do" may cause us to struggle even more with carving out the time. Somer and Natalia get honest with the struggle and aim to fill you with the truth you need.  You can learn more about Natalia on her website.  And you can connect with her through  Instagram  and Facebook!  For this week's downloadable prayer, click here!    FAVORITE TAKE-AWAYS: -God's Word is power and the enemy doesn't want us to have power. -Satan is crafty, not creative.   -The enemy gives us just enough truth to discourage us but not enough truth to get us where we need to be.   Scripture to Read: Deuteronomy 6:4-9 - when you want to know what God wants from you, read this passage Romans 8:1 - There is this fine line between condemnation and conviction and the enemy would have us condemned.   Remember:  I am not responsible to multiply what God is doing. I am just responsible to show up. Open your hand and give God whatever you've got. The best way to love where you are is to stop looking where someone else is. God has assigned me this season, this period of time, because I am the girl for the job. He's given it to me. He trusts me with it. So how can I give it back to the Master? Girl - you've got what it takes to be in God's Word, you just have to start!

Trusting the Bible, series 2 Reading the Old Testament: A guide to finding your way through difficult Old Testament passagesDr Andrew Ollerton meets with academics and researchers from the Tyndale House network to discuss how they approach the Old Testament and wrestle with its trickier passages. Each episode focuses in on a different text from the Old Testament, as we explore the reading processes and practices that researchers bring to their own Bible reading. In this episode Dr Andrew Ollerton is joined by Dr Daniel Block to look at Old Testament law and instruction. This episode's text is Deuteronomy Chapter 27 and the instruction to set up the stones on Mount Ebal, as Daniel demonstrates how even after 50 years of study the biblical text might still have surprises for us. Dr Daniel Block is Gunther Knoedler Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Wheaton College. His scholarly work focuses on the books of Deuteronomy, Judges, Ruth, and Ezekiel. Dr Block studied for his DPhil at Liverpool University. He has written numerous scholarly articles and reference works and served as a senior translator for the New Living Translation. His books include The Gods of the Nations: Studies in Ancient Near Eastern Theology and The Gospel according to Moses: Theological and Ethical Reflections on the Book of Deuteronomy.Reading list: Covenant: The Framework of God's Plan for Redemption (Baker Academic, 2021) Daniel I.

< Back to Joshua IndexTALKS FOR GROWING CHRISTIANSThe Two and One-half Tribes Explain the Purpose of the Altar Printed Version BACKGROUND NOTESDOCTRINAL POINT(S)It is wrong for believers not to think ahead.It is right for believers not to retaliate.PRACTICAL APPLICATIONWhat kind of message are you sending to the next generation?QUESTIONSWhat was the basic problem between the tribal divisions?How was the situation resolved?Why is Joshua 22 a good chapter to study whenever misunderstandings arise between believers, whether it be in a Christian family, a Christian ministry, or in the church?In what way were both divisions wrong?How did God safeguard a common worship of Himself by His people?ANSWERSThe two and one-half tribes built an altar, which caused great concern on the part of the other tribes, thinking that they were setting up a separate system of worship. In their eyes, this was rebellion, apostasy, idolatry.The accusing party sent a committee to investigate, and found that the motives were pure, that they had built only a memorial replica of the true altar at Shiloh to be a witness to their families for generations to come. Their interpretation was that even though they lived on the east side of the Jordan River they were part of Israel that lived on the west side. They were one nation under God.When a major misunderstanding took place between the two divisions of tribes, it nearly caused a civil war. Fortunately, an investigating committee was set up to understand the real reason for their actions. When the "offending" party was given an opportunity to explain their actions, the "accusing" party realized they had misjudged their motives. Not only was war averted, but the two divisions realized that they were one nation under God.Even though their motives were good, the east siders failed to think ahead as to how their actions might be interpreted by the west siders. The west siders were quick to judge (misjudge) the motives of their brothers.God chose a central sanctuary in the land where all His people were to come to worship. Read Deuteronomy 16:16-17.DISCUSS/CONSIDERThe east siders failed to think ahead as to what their actions might mean to their brothers, even though their motives were good. We need to avoid even the appearance of evil to others. This means thinking about a situation and prejuding our own actions in light of others.It would have been easy and "natural" for the east siders to retaliate, but they didn't. Instead, they responded, "The Lord knows! If we are in error, let the Lord Himself require an account." They were willing to be disciplined if they were wrong. What a great lesson for us! Read 1 Peter 5:6 for a proper attitude in such a situation.CHALLENGEBe careful of the message you are sending to the next generation. Think before you act. Make sure your motives are pure and your actions read rightly.When the older generation faithfully follows and worships the Lord, then the next generation will get the message. Is this the message you are sending?KEY VERSES"The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods! He knows!" (Joshua 22:22)"If we have done wrong, may the Lord Himself require an account." (Joshua 22:23)"Let us build an altar as a witness between you and us and our generations that follow, that we will worship the Lord at His sanctuary." (Joshua 22:26-27)

< Back to Joshua IndexTALKS FOR GROWING CHRISTIANSThe Cities of Refuge Printed Version BACKGROUND NOTESDOCTRINAL POINT(S)Christ, the true city of refuge, provides security from wrath.Christ, the true city of refuge, is readily accessible.PRACTICAL APPLICATIONLet's be clear refuge signs for the unbeliever.QUESTIONSIn Old Testament days before the giving of the law, when a person was killed by another person, who took on the responsibility of getting revenge?Is the practice of blood-revenge still carried out today?How many cities of refuge did God provide for people who had killed unintentionally or accidentally?Were cities of refuge commanded to be set up under the law?Read Deuteronomy 19:4-5. What is this an example of?How long was a manslayer safe, and under what circumstances?ANSWERSA near relative of the slain person.Yes, by some of the Beduoin Tribes of the Middle East.Six cities of refuge.Yes. See Numbers 35.Of an accidental killing where the manslayer flees to a city of refuge.He was safe as long as he stayed in the city of refuge and until he stood trial and until the death of the high priest. If, however, he was found guilty he received the death penalty - a life for a life.DISCUSS/CONSIDERRefer to Hebrews 6:18. Here the author of Hebrews draws upon the city of refuge as an illustration of the refuge we have in Christ. Refuge from what? What does this mean to you? See also John 3:36 and Hebrews 6:18-20.Read Romans 10:13, John 3:16 and Revelation 22:17. Do you see something common in these passages? Have you drawn on the accessibility in Christ as your city of refuge?CHALLENGEJewish tradition says that all roads leading to the cities of refuge had to be kept in good repair and clearly marked. Are you a clear refuge sign that can point others to Christ? Do your friends and neighbors know they can turn to you in times of crisis?KEY VERSES"For all of the Israelites and for the stranger who dwelt among them, that whoever killed a person accidentally might flee to designated cities, and not die by the hand of the avenger" (Joshua 20:1)

This past decade has seen change at an alarming rate. Then, the pandemic hit and change accelerated exponentially. Many feel that, post-Covid, things will never be the same again.However, our situation is not unprecedented. Deuteronomy 34 records one of the most definitive change moments in the history of God's people. Like our own day, Deuteronomy ends on a note of emotional uncertainty. However, in God's kingdom, Joshua 1s always follow Deuteronomy 34s.In this introductory message to the book of Joshua, we are reminded of what never changes in times of epoch change. Read Deuteronomy 34:5—Joshua 1:6 to prepare.
