The Angel In The Sky. Part [7] 06/23/2025 (Morning thought)

Numbers 20:10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, you rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

And no sooner had they succumbed to the devices of satan, the response came from God, that they were mot to enter Canaan. There are some difficult lessons we will have to learn, before the latter rain is poured out, for many will have to be divested of self, before the glory of God is seen upon them. Numbers 20:11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

Whenever the latter rain is poured out upon all flesh God will again be using some of His servants to work miracles of healing, but that power to heal is never to be exercised independent of God, or to serve any selfish, personal purpose. Hence the reason why it is so important why we understand why God quickly announced that both Aaron and Moses would die.

Numbers 20:12 And the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron, Because you believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. 13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.

Numbers 20:23 And the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying, 24 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because you rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

The Angel In The Sky. Part [6] 06/23/2025 (Evening thought)

1st Samuel 17:41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him. 42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.

1st Samuel 17:43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that you come to me with staves? And the Philistine  cursed David by his gods. 45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.

Therefore, after many similar deliverances over the span of many years, for David to say go number the people, as if success was ever in numbers, caused God to be greatly displeased. Taking God’s glory, or credit to yourself is what had caused Moses and Aaron not to enter the promised land, for when they said angrily, “Must we fetch water” they gave the people the impression that the miraculous works of The Lord were to be attributed to themselves.

And that’s a huge problem, for if they could exercise miraculous power to bring forth water from the rock independent of God, then, the logical conclusion is that they inherently possess supernatural power, of their own, something which no created being must ever claim.

1st Samuel 17:50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
