Studyin' Deuteronomy 11 w/ Lena's Journalin' - Annhilation of the enemy of God and our souls- Pride, with decisive humility, on purpose

Don’t ya just love it whenever someone tells you what to do, but they do not demonstrate what they’ve asked as teachers by example? They’ve not yet believed in their own words enough to have adopted them for their own life, they haven’t lived them, and there seems to be no plan to do them.
Don’t you just feel great about and want to chew on and ingest what you feel is fake and phony? God is saying to parents, DON’T be HYPOCRITS! In other words, the power of your words, which are meant to be full of life, will be more highly regarded and respected from others if they are living, breathing, tried, and true, words!***
It will be much more effecting for God’s kingdom.
***Though - Listen now, if one’s heart is all after God, and is a matured son of God, they can both hear and obey any word that is God’s word even through an untried and imperfect vessel, for they know how powerful His words are and how they are true no mater the delivery.
That being so, God is still admonishing the giver on how to more effectively deliver a more life forming word. As natural and spiritual fathers, did you know we are responsible to that? We have a living and an eternal legacy, to pass on effectively. The effectiveness is not dependant so much on God, but on us, our delivery, and witness, and the living proof.
How wiling are we to change, to make that witness more effective? How much of our old ways of established thinking, are we willing to lay down to begin to think like God does? Are we of the heart and mind of a student who desires to learn and are we hungry enough to willingly learn how to obey each command?
The other day I substituted the word “love” for “command”. It was a cool way to read God’s word, as it offered a new understanding of a greater and a deeper love, a love that wants what someone else wants, and will do what someone else wants done, their way. A selfless love.
How will we have all we need to do His will on earth?
Obedience is blessed disobedience is cursed.
If you love, you obey. If you refuse to obey you don’t love, God. No I’m not kidding, look up “love” and “obey” in the NT, you’ll see so clearly how they are the same and how it literally says, “If you do not do what I say you are not Mine and you don’t love Me.”
“God, You know how hard that is. I mean you are not really expecting me to do that with them, right, Lord?”
He is silent on this, for He has already spoken. Ya know what else? He will not strive with us on it at all. He said it and that was enough for He is a “man” of His word. Period!
Turn away? It happens so easily, so subtly. Strong men know this and will not allow it to just happen. They stand and withstand in the evil day and then stand again protecting the faith they know of in Him.
Commit yourself wholeheartedly.
Wear them, teach them, post them, talk about them, continually. Write notes on it, do whatever it takes. Just Do It. Is it that important to you? It is to Him. Excuses just show others how unimportant He is to you.
You do realize we live in a seen realm in this earth, but what is seen is mostly due to what is unseen and what goes on there effects everything about us here? There is warfare for the ruler ship of earth. God sent man specifically to take back and repair its separation from Him problem, namely rebellion, which caused fallenness.
There was a falling that happened before Adam & Eve were placed by God in the earth. The freewill chose “other” instead of God. Choosing “other” in heaven brought a catastrophe that landed on earth (Isa 14, Ez 28, Lk 10:18). Earth was dark and void. God spoke into the darkness, for the whole universe is His Creation, His belonging. Then God set a man and a woman in earth, which belongs to Him, and said, “Here, you two, become One, as I AM One, and in and through that unification, repair, be continual Oneness personified, where two could easily be and stay two, has the right to be two, could be proud of being two, and #1 has the freewill choice to be two (twain, divided, individualized, separated, separate), be and choose to stay One, as I AM One!
Choose life.
Repair and restore, through your rulership of righteous choices of obedient action, completely being connected with My heavenly realm, right here. Bring what I created in heaven here.
You do realize this is what the war is about, right? Rulership, stewardship, Kingship. Right?
Now, in knowing this, seeing this purpose, don’t follow “others”, don’t serve any others, keep your focus on Me, ok?
If you can somehow get this spiritual glimpse, eternal eyesight, you’ll see that in order to properly rule here, we have to be connected as One. For these enemies are mine and are too great for you to fight alone. I need you and you need Me, as long as we stay connected through obedient action under My commands in love, we’ll defeat the catastrophe, we’ll reverse the curse over the whole earth!
The rulers of darkness are stronger than you. Alone you cannot do it, you’ll be defeated everytime, but if we get and stay connected, there will be an engagement of heaven and earth and the power will flow. When the power flows, all that were too great for you alone will be taken out in a wink! That is for you, yes, but it is so for Me, says the Lord.
Ah, the man who’s delight is in the law of the Lord, the deal that makes that connection happen from heaven to earth. Blessed is the man who obeys me enough to let that power flow! Oh My eyes are looking, searching the whole earth for such as these. Men, women, and children engaged and knowing and doing the commands of the Lord, that He would win over His enemies through them!
The obedient man, the obedient woman, the obedient sons, the obedient daughters, the obedient children, oh the places I want them to go ignite and engage the power!
Blessing (Power) or curse (defeat)? We choose this everyday.
Obedience to God or rejection of God? We choose this everyday.
Turning away from God or returning towards God? We choose this everyday.
Cross the Jordan? We choose that option daily also.
Jordan, means, He is so right, I could be so wrong, let’s go His way. I bow to Him, to His will. I am a man who humbles himself.
Pride was the root rebellion of the fall, and is still our enemy today, it comes strongly against obedience. This is why each of us must go to Jordan, because we want to be corrected and put pride’s power under our feet, willingly. There is no crossing over to annihilate any enemies, great or small, without this one being dealt with first. The next step is to stay lowly in heart and mind and action, for you will defeat enemy powers by going through Jordan and into Canaan (lowland), but it you will still be offered pride and a fall there, once again an enemy will offer you pride as a freewill choice. Pride must stay under your feet, because you understand the power and engagement involved in humility.
The next place one must go in Canaan is death of self and a turning wholeheartedly to God’s ways (Gilgal, the cross, the rolling away of reproaches). They must lay their own life down wilingly, for His resurrection power to be made known in the earth!
Lastly one must also be filled with His Holy Spirit and follow His lead, everyday. (Moreh) He is our Divine connection to Jesus and the Father as we walk this journey over overcoming God’s every enemy. He will teach us the pathway of the Lordship of Christ, if we stay humble enough to want to know, listen to, and continue to obey.
To get there, Obey, to stay there, Obey, to walk there, Obey, to overcome there, Obey!
This is as easy as the will or heart allows it to be.
Love obeys. If you won’t obey, you don’t love Me enough yet.
