Sukkot IV 2015
The Sihon Confrontation
Continued from Part 3
Introduction
Chag sameach Sukkot mishpachah - welcome to the fourth day of the Feast of Tabernacles. Today's topic on war may seem out of sync with Sukkot but then this is a Sukkot unlike any other we have ever celebrated.
Stay on Target Passing Through Sihon's Land
Dear brethren and sisters, the message I have for you today is a very short and simple one - stay on target and do not deviate to either the left or the right:
"We will stay on the main road; we will not turn aside to the right or to the left" (Deut.2:27, NIV).
The Enemy Will Only Fear You If...
As with Sihon, King Heshbon, we are to offer peace as we pass through hostile territory on our way to the places or goals Yahweh has set for us. These cannot be the places or goals that we want else we have no promise. The Covenant or Miracles, promised to the Children of Israel in any Exodus like the first one, and now being repeated in the second and last one, is always conditional upon obedience. Without obedience there is only disaster. If you in the wrong place at the wrong time, having willfully disobeyed Yahweh and the witness of the Ruach (Spirit), then you cannot object when disaster strikes you. But if you are true then:
"This very day I will begin to put the terror and fear of you on all the nations under heaven. They will hear reports of you and will tremble and be in anguish because of you" (Deut.2:25, NIV).
When Scripture Becomes Dead to the Soul
But this will not occur on your behalf if you are walking out of the Derech (Way). You can believe the Scripture all you will but if you are not in the front line where you are supposed to be, consider it dead to you. It will be but a distant tale, not real to you whern it absolutely needs to be right now.
Seek Peace First
We do not seek war, we seek shalom (peace) but if we are forced into it, then we shall enter into it, so that:
"When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz, Yahweh our Elohim (God) delivered him over to us and we struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army" (Deut.2:32-33, NIV).
Poising of the Covenant of Miracles
I speak, of course, of spiritual warfare though this will inevitably, in certain situations, have physical ramifications too. As the enemy gets bolder and attempts to intrude into the physical domain, so Yahweh will respond in the physical too. This is a part of the Covenant of Miracles that is to be unleashed on the part of the Remnant.
Conclusion
Tomorrow I will share with you what Yahweh showed me in the earlier hours of the morning so that you have a better idea of what will follow the now concluded Black September. I have been too pressed for time today else you would have received it today. In the meantime, be resolved to be focussed on Yah'shua (Jesus) your Deliverer and on doing exactly what He has told you to do, dropping all your other plans. Amen.
