This narrative is based on an eyewitness account of what happened to Israel by the Son of Korah. (See Psalm 44)
How did the Israelites go from receiving the gift of the Promised Land to become broken and covered with the shadow of death? They lost the favor of God.
The victories came and then all was changed into shame. As a believer, religion teaches us to live in the miracles of God not the retribution of sin.
God told the Israelites on Mount Sinai if you obey My voice and keep My commandments you will be My special treasure above all the people for all the land is mine. The Israelites failed God.
We cannot expect God to perform miracles like killing 185,00 Assyrians with just one angel. Or, expect the walls of Jericho to fall by the hand of God. This happened in the past. Don’t think God can’t do these miracles again or even greater signs and wonders but this is not His priority at this time.
Today, the Living Christ has His mind focused on judgment. He is determined to punish us for our sins. Nothing will deter God from punishing lukewarm believers and those who refuse to fear and respect Him. God is wielding a flaming sword with little desire to be merciful or compassionate.
God is not sleeping . He is aroused with anger and disgrace over the Body of Christ.
We are His “set apart” people and should be filled with renown, praise and glory but many have turned away into apostasy.
We act like believers but our lives do not reflect the character of God. We strive to do works and keep laws but neglect the values of the Living Christ. Where is the obedient believer who will give up everything to follow Christ?
God is helping Israel today. He keeps His Word. They will be victorious over their enemies.
God is giving Ukraine wisdom, strength, and power to stop the Russian aggression. Russia will never defeat Ukraine.
There will be a swell of new believers coming to Christ. They will come from all over the world . God has specifically targeted the youth because they will face indescribable challenges in the future.
You cannot make God into what you want Him to be or how your pastor describes Him. The untempered mortar will turn into shambles.
You have to meet Jesus personally and then you will be awestruck! There is no one like Him.
