Jordan Rivers in these Last Days

1 Comment

In these Last Days, the Father has spoken to us by HIS SON, but that does not mean all that He has spoken before has now been unsaid or is of no effect.

Hebrews 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;  source 

GOD is so smart! That’s an understatement but you get my point.

Joshua 3

14 So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carried the ark of the covenant ahead of them. 
15 Now the Jordan overflows its banks throughout the harvest season. But as soon as the priests carrying the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge,
16 the flowing water stood still. It backed up as far upstream as Adam, a city in the area of Zarethan, while the water flowing toward the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho. 
17 The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel crossed over the dry ground, until the entire nation had crossed the Jordan. source

At the time, the Jordan

was overflowing its banks – the Jordan was as deep as it gets, but something happened. The water was completely cut off as far upstream as Adam — wherever that is.
GOD was acting on behalf of His People and other people were going to hear about it.  Why?
Two reasons I think.
One, the Hebrews had to get across the river and two, GOD wanted people to know HIM.
HE still does.
In His mercy and His love, He was reaching out to the non-Hebrew. HE still does.

We don’t see many Jordan Rivers piling up water as far upstream as Adam these days, do we?
And if our DESIRE is to see the SIGN, we likely never will, BUT if we DESIRE GOD, we cannot now imagine what we will see.

GOD still wants People to know HIM.
In these Last Days, do we engineer our own way of damning up the Jordans in our lives?
How’s that working out for us and the revealing of GOD to others?

Rehab, the Harlot

Leave a comment

Good morning. 

We are in Joshua this morning.

Be strong and courageous said The LORD to Joshua. 

Verse 5 is a promise: 5 No one shall stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Wouldn’t you like a promise like that? Can you think of a similar New Testament promise, by the way, the Old Testament promise is still valid.   Hebrews 13:5

Do you think the promise of verse 5 helped Joshua to be strong and courageous? Do you have verses of Scripture memorized that help you to be strong and courageous?

Chapter 2 of Joshua opens with Rehab welcoming the Spies and the Spies have no names.
Actually, I am certain they do have names but their names are not recorded for us.  Our names don’t have to be known for GOD to do great work, do they? 

Rehab, the harlot, that’s the name she is known by, but what I remember about Rehab is who she became when she believed GOD. 
Who could we become if we would just believe GOD? 

Until Next time, Holy hugs, Kathie

Scarlet Thread

Leave a comment

I am continuing to read Genesis. Amazing!
It’s so alive. So today!
I hope you are reading your Bibles too and that the Scriptures are more real, more alive than ever before.

What do you know about the Scarlet Thread? Genesis 38:28.

Do you know of another sighting of a Scarlet Thread? How about Joshua 2:18?

Yes, indeed, a Scarlet Thread is running through the Bible.
I hope you will watch for it as you read the Word daily.

Good-Night-2
Holy hugs and prayers,

Outcasts

Leave a comment

I read a portion of Luke 19 this morning; the place that says Yeshua entered Jericho and was passing through and I had some weird thoughts even for me. 

I wondered if JESUS thought of Rahab, his great, great, great – ever how many greats it was Grandmother.
You know the story, right?
The spies came to check out the city prior to the marching around it and the ram horn blowing that GOD used to bring down the walls of that very strong city.
Do you also remember that Rahab and her family were spared because she had helped the spies? 
Would you like to read the account? Check out Joshua Chapters 2 and 6.

So I wondered if JESUS thought of her and the account of the walls of Jericho falling as He was entering the City. 

Strange. 
Or is it?

Rahab the Harlot as she is often called, converted.
She believed the WORD she heard about GOD and it was counted to her as Righteousness. 
And centuries later Yeshua went to Jericho and another Outcast believed. Luke 19:1-10

I also read an article entitled

Rahab – The Harlot in the Genealogy of Christ

by Rex Rouis

if you are interested.

And there you have it – a bit of my wonderings as I was reading Scripture this morning.
Do you wonder things as you read Scripture? 

I hope you do. I hope as you read your Bible its pages open and you see and experience the people and the accounts provided for us so we may truly BELIEVE and no longer be Outcasts.
