“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Proverbs 3: 26 For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah 

If we, the bride, the church does not obey God the punishments that will come.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that in our soul, which is the bride, the church how he is setting the tabernacle and the deeds of God in that tabernacle.

Next, what we are going to meditate upon is Leviticus 26: 13 – 16 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright.

‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments,

and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant,

I also will do this to you: I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

When we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses, God made the Israelites to come out from their land so that they are not in the bondage of Egypt and broke the bands of their yoke and made them walk upright and we know this. That is, in the time when we were doing, in Egypt sin, curse and iniquity and in the situation when we could not walk upright and when iniquity increased and in the time when we walked wickedly to make our soul to walk upright by faith he gave his only begotten Son for us and by his life he redeemed us and made us his own children and gave us the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, Abba, Father  and for us to walk everyday by his spirit, he sent the Spirit of the Son within us and he who has made us walk upright is our Lord God.

As an explanation for this, what our Lord God did is that Luke 13: 10 – 17 Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 

And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. 

But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.” 

And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, “There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore, come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day.”

The Lord then answered him and said, “Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? 

So, ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?” 

And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.

When we meditate upon the facts regarding this, Sabbath signifies our redeemed soul after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. For him to dwell in that soul always he is setting a tabernacle. What that signifies is that he gives always, any time the food needed for our soul and these verses explain that clearly and show us this. 

Also, inside the synagogues God is delivering the bent over woman. That is, she was bound by Satan for eighteen years. No man could deliver her from the bondage. But our Lord Jesus Christ, called her to him and said, Woman, you are loosed from sin and from your infirmity and laid his hands on her. Immediately, we see that she was made straight and she glorified God.

In the same way, for him to deliver us also from the bondage of Satan, he redeemed our soul by his blood. We, who have been redeemed should walk according to his commandments and law. If we do not walk in this manner and if we break his covenant and walk, Leviticus 26: 16 I also will do this to you: I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

Also, God is telling in Leviticus 26: 17, 18 I will set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you.

‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

According to this he will punish us seven times more and in Leviticus 26: 19 I will break the pride of your power; I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. And God is telling that he will make us according to the above verse. Then in Leviticus 26: 20 And your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

Then, according to the above verse we will lose our strength and we will not be able to yield fruit unto God. Then if we will walk against God, according to our sins he will make seven times more plague to come upon us and in Leviticus 26: 22 – 25 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number; and your highways shall be desolate.

‘And if by these things you are not reformed by Me, but walk contrary to Me,

then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

And I will bring a sword against you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; when you are gathered together within your cities I will send pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

According to the above word of God, we will be given into the hands of the enemy by God. According to the above-mentioned verses, let us submit ourselves so that we are not submitted into the hands of the enemy and let us walk according to God’s commandments and laws.

Also, whatever circumstances may come we must not break the covenant of God and must learn to walk carefully and let us submit ourselves according to the words of God that we meditated upon.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
