Numbers 19:15-20:20, In-depth Study

Welcome back to our in-depth Bible study. We are moving right along in our Father’s word. May you have listening ears eyes that see.

Numbers 19:15

15 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.

16 And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

17 And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:

18 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:

19 And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.

20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.

21 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.

22 And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.

Numbers 20
1 Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!

4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?

5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.

6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.

7 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.

10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

12 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:

15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:

16 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:

17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.

18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.

19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.

20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

That concludes our study for today. I hope to have you back tomorrow.  God bless.

I Chose to Be Here: So Did You

Chose to be here

I choose to be here; so did you.

During the first Earth age, around the time of Satan’s rebellion we had a choice to make. Do we follow satan or be born of women in flesh. I have read different theories such as we not only choose to be born of women we also choose many other things such as birth parents and lifestyles. While there is no Biblical backing for such statements it is rather fascinating to ponder. How awesome it would be to see into this dispensation of time and be able to prepare as if I am entering a high stakes strategic playing field? Choosing not only who we will be born of but dictating details such as fame, fortune and the personal struggles of life. How fascinating and fair that would be. I know one thing for certain, I chose to be here. I chose to be born of woman, have my memory erased  and given the opportunity to decide, Do I follow God or Satan? The days can be long and treacherous, the battles can seem endless but long ago in our past, when we were in spirit form  we had confidence that we would prevail at this game we call  life and claim our victory. So on the days that seem impossible just remember we choose to be here. Have faith and persevere!

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7 KJV
https://bible-strong.app

Proverbs 1
1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Numbers 18:24-19:14, In-depth Study

Welcome back to out in-depth Bible study.

Numbers 18:24

24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

26 Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.

27 And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.

28 Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD’S heave offering to Aaron the priest.

29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.

30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.

31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.

32 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.

Numbers 19
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

2 This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:

3 And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:

4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:

5 And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:

6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.

8 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.

9 And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.

10 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.

11 He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.

12 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

13 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.

14 This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

Comfy and Me

If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?

Comfy and Me

If I were forced to wear one outfit I would choose comfy pants and an oversized long-sleeved shirt, both purple of corse. I would want them to be super soft yet light and breathable. Cool, comfortable and homey.

Lucky Charms

Lucky Charms

I can look at the mountain before me and say it’s too high.
Or I can hit my knees and give it another try.

It doesn’  matter what I can do.
What matters is who I get my strength through.

I don’t wish upon the stars
or have a lucky charm.

I don’t look  for answer in a cup of tea
or search for guidance from astrology.

I don’t call upon familiar spirits,
knowing they will answer it.

I don’t look to society
for the things I need.

I ask The King
the one who provides for me.

Don’t chase omens and old wives tales,
they will set you up to fail.

Don’t inquire mediums and psychics
they are all just well orchestrated tricks

Don’t rely on your own understanding.
Know the abundance of blessings God brings.

If you seek first the kingdom of God
it will be easier to see through the facade.

So many people today,
want to listen to what men say.


They forget that father cares too.
He already knows what troubles you.

But to receive His help you must ask.
Or else it will never be part of His
task.

Don’t get caught up in Earthly ways
Forever shout Jesus’s name in praise.

For the time here is for just a little while
Let not forget that the serpent is here to beguile.

Look to God for answers and clarity,
He will give you the answer you need.


Moses, an Extension Study of People in the Bible

Moses



Moses is one of the most pivotal figures in the Bible, known for his remarkable leadership and role as a prophet, lawgiver, and mediator between God and the Israelites. Born to Amram and Jochebed, Hebrew slaves in Egypt, Moses’ early life was marked by a miraculous event. To save him from Pharaoh’s edict to kill all Hebrew male infants, his mother placed him in a basket, where he was discovered and adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter. Raised as an Egyptian prince, Moses received a comprehensive education in various fields, including geometry, science, and mathematics.

As he grew older, Moses became aware of his Hebrew heritage and the suffering of his people. After killing an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew slave, Moses fled to Midian, where he encountered God in a burning bush. This encounter marked the beginning of Moses’ journey as a leader, as God commissioned him to lead the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage. With the help of his brother Aaron, Moses confronted Pharaoh, demanding the Israelites’ release. When Pharaoh refused, God sent ten plagues upon Egypt, culminating in the Passover, where the Israelites were instructed to mark their doorposts with the blood of a lamb to spare their firstborn sons.

The parting of the Red Sea was another pivotal moment in Moses’ life, demonstrating God’s power and Moses’ faithfulness. As the Israelites wandered in the wilderness, Moses acted as an intermediary between God and the people, receiving divine instructions and conveying them to the Israelites. On Mount Sinai, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, a foundational moral and legal code that would shape the Israelites’ relationship with God and with each other.

Throughout his life, Moses demonstrated humility, faithfulness, and obedience to God. Despite initial doubts about his ability to lead, Moses trusted God and fulfilled his role as a mediator, speaking with God “face to face.” His leadership was marked by his willingness to serve and guide the Israelites, even in the face of challenges and rebellion.

Moses’ legacy extends far beyond his lifetime. In Judaism, he is considered the greatest prophet, and his teachings are foundational to Jewish law and tradition. In Christianity, Moses is seen as a precursor to Jesus Christ, symbolizing the law that Jesus would later fulfill. In Islam, Moses (Musa) is also considered a prophet and a model of faithfulness and obedience to God. Through his remarkable story, Moses continues to inspire and guide people of faith around the world.

Medicinal Tea

Cold and Flu Natural Tea Recipes

Recipe #1:

1. Ginger: Ginger has natural anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce congestion and alleviate sinus pressure. Its warming properties may also help loosen mucus.
2. Cayenne Pepper: Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, which can help clear mucus from the sinuses and nasal passages. It may also help reduce pain and inflammation.
3. Honey: Honey has antimicrobial properties, which may help soothe a sore throat and calm a cough. Its sweetness can also provide temporary relief from discomfort.
4. Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar may help reduce mucus production and alleviate sinus pressure due to its potential alkalizing effect on the body.

Recipe #2:

2. Garlic Clove: Garlic has antimicrobial properties, which may help combat underlying infections. Its compounds may also help reduce inflammation and congestion.

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Ephesians 4:26 KJV
https://bible-strong.app

Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

20 But ye have not so learned Christ;

21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

27 Neither give place to the devil.

28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
