My dear brothers and sisters, of FaithLine: Miriam and Aaron had just spoken against Moses so, “…the LORD came down…and stood…and called Aaron and Miriam…He said, “HEAR NOW MY WORDS: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, make Myself known to him in a vision…Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house. I SPEAK WITH HIM FACE TO FACE, Even plainly, and not in dark sayings; And HE SEES THE FORM OF THE LORD. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant Moses?” So the anger of the LORD was aroused against them, and He departed. And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, SUDDENLY MIRIAM BECAME LEPROUS, AS WHITE AS SNOW.” (Num.12:5-10) Be careful because speaking against God’s anointed is speaking directly against God. It is blaspheming the same God we claim to praise and worship. Another important virtue Moses had…“Now the man Moses was VERY HUMBLE, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.” (Num. 12:3) Why is this so important? “…God 1RESISTS the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.” (Jam. 4:6) 1antitassomai: to range in battle against, to oppose. So, God ranges in battle against and opposes the proud. This causes me to ask the question, how can a man/woman of God be in battle with God and bring an anointed message or sing an anointed song or teach an anointed lesson??? Grace can be defined as having THE DESIRE AND POWER to do the will of God…“for it is God who works in you both TO WILL AND TO DO for His good pleasure.” (Phil. 2:13)
DEAR LORD GIVE US THE DESIRE AND POWER TO DO YOUR WILL…
FaithLine, the bible says: “…God RESISTS the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.”
