In Whom do you inquire? Joshua 9

7th Year 11-12 Edition 3 – Jos 9 l The Feast l August 1_2012 Joshua 9 Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Joshua 9. Here we are in a campaign to rid the promised land of it's inhabitants, just as God gave instruction. Joshua and God's people are fooled into making a covenant with the people of Gibeon. The mistake was giving their word as God's people without consulting God. “14 So the men took some of their provisions, but did not ask counsel from the Lord. 15 And Joshua made peace with them and made a covenant with them, to let them live, and the leaders of the congregation swore to them.” Joshua 9:14-15 English Standard Version (ESV). There is a lesson here saints! Before you make a deal, sign a contract or give you word anywhere, consult our God. You are God's representative. We see many denominations dying because they do things without consulting God or even his Word. There are wicked people who have made their way into mainline religions. Now we see abominations making decisions where saints should have been. Why do God's people perish? “5 You shall stumble by day; the prophet also shall stumble with you by night; and I will destroy your mother. 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. 7 The more they increased, the more they sinned against me; I will change their glory into shame.” Hosea 4:5-7 (ESV). Prayerfully consult God! He loves you and has proven his love for us over and over again. Turn to God and seek his counsel. “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever“ Psalm 111:10 (ESV). Saint, remember this, if we are truly repentant then God's willingness to forgive us is infinite. He said it's not too late, if his people will turn from their wicked ways and pray he will hear us and heal our homes, families, churches and land. “You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word.” Psalm 119:114 ESV. Lets get in line with God's Word and be guided by Him. Lets keep the first thing first. That is salvation through the blood of Jesus.

The Feast Wed, August 1, 2012, Joshua 9, - “The kings combine against Israel. (1,2) The Gibeonites apply for peace. (3-13) They obtain peace, but are soon detected. (14-21) The Gibeonites are to be bondmen. (22-27)“ – Matthew Henry Concise If you don't know Him, you can't serve Him. If He doesn't know you you not saved! Do you know that you are made in the image of God? You are an eternal being, where you spend eternity depends on your relationship with God? If you want to be sure, turn from sin and just say this simple prayer; “Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour.“ If you said this prayer inviting Jesus into your heart. Now turning from sin, and seek fellowship just as we do. We worship and fellowship in a Church (group of believers) that strives to measures up to God’s Word. You need a Bible believing body of believers (church) to worship and pray with. Our salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent (turn from sin) and accept Jesus. If you have trouble finding a good bible believing church in your neighborhood send me an email and I’ll see if I can help; mlitew8@yahoo.com or if you want a pastor email Pastor Glen; evangelistglen@yahoo.com Don’t get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship. Our salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent and accept Jesus. He will come to get every Saint; “…But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Matthew 24:36. We are building our relationship with Jesus right now, do not wait while you try to change anything.
