THE PLAN OF VICTORY
INTRO/
MUSIC
The simple things are usually the
powerful things. And so it is in the plan of God which He gives
you for victory. Be willing and obey is the admonition of the prophet
Isaiah:
"If you are willing and obedient you will eat
the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you will be
devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it."
(Isaiah 1:19-20)
The beautiful purpose of this . .
. and the LOVE of God . . . is shown in the previous
verse:
"Come now, and let us reason together,
saith the LORD: though your sins are as scarlet, they will be white
as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be as wool."
(Verse 18)
Israel's unbelief (except for Caleb and
Joshua) that they could take the Promised Land resulted in 40 years
of wilderness wandering. Have you been wandering long?
Do
you have great Spirit given goals that have been in you heart and
prayers for years but have not come to fruition yet? Is it
because you have failed to GO into the Promised Land . . . to make
that transition in FAITH? Have you been waiting for everything to
fall into place before you leave your comfort zone?
Like the
monkey holding on to the banana in the jar, who couldn't get his hand
out to enjoy the banana, are you "holding on" to
your ministry . . . your business . . . your toys . . . not
releasing them . . . so that you can make a NEW transition
into greater service and works for the glory of God, and for your
blessing as well?

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