Satan the Whistle Blower, Part 2

Greetings friends and new listeners and welcome to the sound of faith. I'm sure not thanking you for joining us today because we know Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

I'm excited to bring you today's devil chasing message Satan. The whistleblower masquerading as an authority over the people of God. He goes around blowing his whistle at us.

You can't park here. You can't do this you can't do that. He is a trespasser and can only usurp our God-given territory. If we let him you have authority over Satan. The whistleblower, so if we even backed up to the verse before verse six James 46 it says God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. So we cannot resist Satan when God is resisting us yell at some we cannot resist Satan successfully. When God is resisting cause for pride. But when we ourselves. God starts he'd been on the grace and when he saw the grace you will stand. You can stand no action for you. Amen.

All right I will give you a second chance folks without looking in your Bible on your phone. Who can tell me what first Peter five says first Peter 58 anybody okay Rita, you are one before your 57 casting all your care upon him for he cares for you. That's 57, but not 58 okay you should know this one be sober, be vigilant for your adversary the devil walks about, seeking whom he may raise fast in the faith, even knowing knowing that your brotherhood in the world. Your sister in the world are suffering the same afflictions that you are suffering. Amen. Now this is another favorite of scriptures, but if we backed up to verse six and seven and Rita already gave us seven let's go up to six it says.

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Casting all your care upon him. Today they go together, for he cares for you.

Now you can be sober and you can be vigilant. Amen.

And you can stand against your adversary, you can resist him and he will flee from you. So what is the message were getting. We first must be submitted to God and then when were submitted to God because were walking in humility before the Lord put that in a nutshell you're walking in humility. Therefore, you are obeying God, you're going along with what his word says in his will, says, and that is being humble under his mighty hand you know from time to time.

The Lord does speak to me in dreams when he gives me dreams that are specifically a message from him. There usually very dramatic and very vivid, but once in a while he'll just give me one word or a sentence right before I wake up so that I will remember it because you know it. A lot of times you don't remember your dreams.

Later when you wake up in the morning, but when he gives it to me like you know moments almost before I'm awake. I remembered those and I know that it's a specific word for me.

I'm thinking he gave this particular word back around 2009 2010 somewhere in there and this is what I heard right as I was waking up, walk softly before the Lord. Walk boldly before the enemy walk softly before the Lord will boldly before the enemy.

I've got to tell you that that made such a major impact obviously were in 2020, and I'm still talking about it. Amen. And I realize that I needed the walk softly before Jesus. I needed to walk in all humbleness of mind, I needed the walk surrendered to him I needed to crucify Sharon's flesh, I need to crucify my ego I needed to walk softly before the Lord and when I walk softly before the Lord. Something dramatic happens, I will boldly before the enemy when I login you before the law. Parts of the Holy Ghost. A week bloated time.

But with the spirit. It gives me back, but don't get me all the necessary paperwork that I did get it God the Holy Spirit backing me up. Amen.

And I walked boldly before him, and he flees from me and then I do tread upon the lion and the latter I tread upon that Dragon under my feet.

I then tread upon the serpent and the scorpion over all the power of the enemy.

And like the Scripture says, the God of peace shall shortly bruise Satan's head under your heel mind. I went out walking softly before the Lord. Amen. Walking softly before him. When the devil comes after me and attacked me.

I can rise up and I can that's what you have to do. Stay submitted to the Lord and when the attack comes against you and you will rise up strong, you know, it's a shame some of you didn't come this morning. The Holy Spirit is tell me to tell you I will call your name brought you before my mind. I hope you're watching because this message is for you. You been struggling and struggling, and you been going taken two steps forward and one step back two more forward and one step back. Enough of that already. Amen in the Lord wants to deliver you. Amen. Okay.

We got to take the territory that God has given us. Let's turn the numbers 33 and let's look at verse 50 and the Lord spoke on the Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho saying be done to the children of Israel, and say under them. When you are passed over Jordan to the land of Canaan, then shall you try out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all the pictures and destroyed all their molten images and quite plucked down.

That's old English, but it's aggressive and tear down completely all their high places, and you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell therein, for I have given you the land to possess it. I had given it to you but you got up and sit and you shall divide the land by lot for inheritance among your families and the more you shall give more inheritance.

In other words, the bigger ones, bigger families will get more land. Smaller families will get less land according to their tribes. Verse 55 but if you lay inhabitants of the land before you, that it shall come to pass that does what you let main of them shall be pricks in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land, wherein you dwell, not all know about you but I don't want no pricks in my eyes and thorns in my amen and I don't want any uninvited vexation of the devil, because I didn't drive them out word I needed to drive them out and so he's very clear here.

They want to destroy all the pagan artifacts all the pictures and icons all the idols and then they want to go in the high places they would go high up and then they would take the trees and they would shape then in the shape of gods and idols, and they would go there and worship and sacrifice so we said to the high place on those trees and those groves and tear down all their idols and dispossess the people. This right here is the nation of Israel's title deed to the land in case the United Nations needs to know where the title deed is here it is right here. He says dispossess the nation's of the land which we often call Canaan because I give it to you but you gotta drive amount. Amen.

So that's what God told Moses, now we know Moses was not going to get to go in but Moses is with the one that had the authority that could tell them this is what God says and they would believe, but now Moses is dead, so let's go to Joshua chapter 1 and now the baton has been passed on to Joshua to take the children of Israel into the promised land. Now, after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord came to pass that the Lord spoke on to Joshua the son of nun, Moses minister, saying Moses my servant is dead. They already knew he was dead.

God making a point.

The past is the past.

That's time to move on.

Now therefore our eyes go over this Jordan you and all this people under the land which I do give to them even to the children of Israel. Every place that lists all of your child tread upon that I have given unto you, just like I bet on the Moses from the wilderness. This Lebanon even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your coast. And so now God is saying you got to go into the land. Amen. You've got to with your feet. The children of Israel are going to have to march into the land and dispossess the inhabitants which meant they were going to have battles and go to war. Amen. He said from the wilderness. Now that took from South were Israel borders with Egypt, on the border of Egypt, north all the way up to and including Lebanon, including Lebanon and from the Euphrates. That's going all the way to the center of Iraq the Euphrates River flows to the center of modern Iraq all the way to the great Sea West, which is the Mediterranean Sea. These were the borders of the land that God said, I give to you and the Israelites with Joshua while went into the land and they spent many years years conquering the land that God had given them. However, even after many years there were still large portions and territories that they had not yet taken. Now let's flip over to Joshua 1313 nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not to guess your rights nor the Maca sites but the guess your rights in the Maca sites dwell among the Israelites until this day.

Go to 1563.

As for the Jebusites.

The inhabitants of Jerusalem the children of Judah could not drive them out, but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah and Jerusalem until this day. Go to 1610 and they drained not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites until this day and serve under tribute.

So what's going on here we see that these are areas that are still under enemy control. Amen. They didn't drive amount and and you read Jerusalem hello Jerusalem is where God said I will put my house and put my main. This is where you will come to worship me because it was in that Abraham. Amen in that city was where the Lamb of God would be offered up.

They had to have Jerusalem but they didn't drive them out in the time of Joshua and do you know that hundreds of years later, when King David was King he had to fight against them for the city of Jerusalem. Amen.

And then we read here that were the Canaanites were were the Ephraimites were supposed to have the land they didn't drive amount and instead they let him stay there and pay them taxes all if they don't want to go that's okay just let him stay there and make them pay you taxes is not what God said. God didn't want their corrupt money. He wanted the enemy out of his land. He didn't want them to be surrounded by enemy even if they were paying them taxes because they were going to assimilate with them and end up with their kids marrying their kids and corrupting them.

Amen.

God said I want you to then how you note. Today some Christians are involved in unrighteous relationships. Sometimes they are living together and then someone will get saved but they don't move out or make the unsaved one move out because we have a financial agreement and I can afford to pay the rent or the mortgage. If I make them get out. I will be able to afford it and you know what that says that says first of all, you put yourself in a compromised position where you're going to be influenced and if nothing else vexed vexed pricks in your eyes and thorns in your side and vexed by the other persons ungodliness.

And secondly, it says that you do not believe God can supply your need.

If you step out in faith and obey him and do what's right you don't believe that if you say I'm going I don't know him well on the live in obedience to God and say now.I'm obeying the word of God and I'm up a financial tree, and I need you to make the why don't you believe God can do that if you're waiting for him and that you're going to split. It's not what happened in your living and compromising disobedience to God doesn't bless that amen and that's what the Israelites were doing exactly that. Let's look at 1712. Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities, but the Canaanites would dwell in that land now. Manasseh was a huge tribe.

It was one of the larger tribes and they actually came to Joshua bellyaching saying that well. The area that you gave us is not big enough for us. We need more land, and Joshua said well you know what. Since you're such a large people and a great people you know that mountain right there that's covered with trees. Go cuddle him down and then they said, but the Canaanites are there and there is strong people and they have iron chariots and Joshua did not say all yell I didn't think about that a lot. I got you now know he didn't even take their their excuses. He said you amen I give you, you is for you.

He's with you when he has to show up because you are so outnumbered. You're so outnumbered and they got iron chariots and you don't.

Amen.

That's when God likes to show up and show off because then you get some amen. So Josh what he wasn't having it.

Let's look at chapter 18 verse one and the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there and the land was subdued before them. There were now putting up the tabernacle and Shiloh okay because they don't have Jerusalem yet so for a while. This is where the tabernacle of God will remain and remained among the children of Israel seven tribes which had not yet received therein. Harrington's and Josh was set under the children of Israel. How long are you black to go to possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you. How long are you years have gone by and they still had not taken the land that God gave them because when they thought about doing it. They heard the devil saying you can't come here they heard the Canaanites can have this territory.

They heard the Amorites. This is our land. Get out and they didn't obey the Lord.

So let's go back to Joshua 13 because even though were backtracking numerically.

Chronologically we are on the right track. You will see what I mean Josh with 13 verse one. Now Joshua was old and stricken in years. And the Lord said unto him, you are old and stricken in years. Thank you Lord, don't tell me that. Okay, tell me your renewing my youth and pains, yet not sure, and to be possessed.

This is the land that yet remains all the borders of the Philistines all the borders of the fellow things and all guess Yuri from Cy Horwich is before Egypt even to the borders of Akron northward, which is counted to the Canaanites. The five lords of the Philistines, the Geiser sites and the adjective cites the Escalon nights and the get tights in the Akron Knights and the Levites and and you were going to say the Canaanites. This I don't.

Ian's the Amorites, even all of the Lebanon all that man still had not been taken. That's a lot. Amen we saw that when God told Moses and then Moses told Joshua told the children of Israel gave him specific instructions to go in and dispossess the people and take the land but all these years later. So much of it was still under enemy territory and part of this was to be allocated to the tribes of Judah and Dan and this area was occupied by the notorious Philistines. Why, if they had taken that land, we have a much smaller Bible, we have a small Old Testament for sure. Amen. All was going up against the Philistines. We probably wouldn't have the story of Samson and the story of David and I amen because they did not take the land that God had given them, and so these warrior Philistines dug their heels in and they had five major cities Gaza Ashkelon, Ashdod, Gath, and Akron. Now some of these may sound familiar to you, not just from the Bible but when you listen to your nightly news if there's any news about what's going on over there in Israel you may hear some of the cities you will hear about the Gaza Strip right and you will hear about Ashdod. These cities are very prevalent in our daily news regarding Israel, but Israel didn't take these territories so not long after Josh was death.

The tribe of Judah did manage to take the cities of Gaza, Ashkelon and Ron. But even though they came and took the cities they still were not able to drive the Philistines them and you know what the Philistines recovered turned around and drove them out so these pagan groups like the Philistines in the Amorites, which we read about a lot of the Old Testament, they were left there and they were left to vex Israel and so God use them cities. He used those pagan people who use the Philistines in the Amorites to judge his people for their backsliding's amen. So many times, especially when you go now after Josh when you go to the book of Judges, you got a 450 year cycle of their backsliding there repenting God blessing them their backsliding going back into captivity. It just keeps repeating the cycle. Amen. And their vexed because they left these people stay in the territory for hundreds of years to come.

These fierce enemies of Israel. Even all the way up to the time of King David continually asked the Israelites you know he had to fight multiple times before he was able to render them to meet to no longer pose a threat against the Israelites, but he was never able to raise their land into his amen what a state stomping word Satan. The whistleblower when Jesus set forth 70 disciples to prepare the surrounding towns to receive his visitation. He told them to preach the kingdom of God and back it up with evidence, healing the sick, and they did and they returned ecstatically informing Jesus that even the demons were subject to them in his name Jesus response may seem anticlimactic, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

Until we understand that the Greek text actually means.

I kept seeing Satan fall from heaven. Every time they cast out a demon. Jesus all Satan fall all over again and every time the Holy Spirit filled child of God cast Satan out of their life. Satan has déjà vu he experiences his fall all over again.
