Pastor Josiah covers an interesting portion of Scripture where the disciples are asking questions they shouldn’t be. Jesus teaches and corrects a poor way of thinking and uses a child to do so. He also addresses this sectarian mindset amongst the disciples which still unfortunately exists in the Church today. We need a Godly perspective on such matters as we live the life He’s called us to do. At times, willing for drastic measures to be taken in order to ensure we’re truly looking at Jesus and producing a legacy from what we’re looking at — it’s all connected.

Focusing on David’s wife Michal we learn some great insights on how a slippery slope of compromise will draw you out of beloved identity and ultimately your intimacy with God will dwindle. Michal made some poor decisions and even though there was a second chance, the opportunity for her to change didn’t dig deep enough and she settled for being near beloved identity but not one with that reality. This is a can’t miss revelation for the body of Christ! Dive in.

When Pastor Michel was young, he went to the beach with a friend, and they decided to go in the water. He was swimming, but he was going no where. He kept on trying to move closer to shore with no success. Pastor Michel was caught in a rip tide and remembered he needed to swim parallel to the shore to get to safety. Eventually he did reach shore, but it taught him a valuable lesson in moving but going nowhere.Moses and the Israelites experienced that same sensation. They had escaped Egypt and four hundred years of slavery. The Lord had given them a home, the Promised Land. “And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night.” Exodus 13:21 However, when they arrived, Moses sent out twelve men to examine the land. Ten returned with fear; two, Caleb and Joshua, encouraged the Israelites to go and conquer the “land flowing with milk and honey.” The others had forgotten all the miracles the Lord had performed in their journey like opening the Red Sea. Because the fear spread from the ten, the Israelitescomplained and rejected Caleb and Joshua’s positive message. What should have taken eleven days took them forty years. The Israelites wandered in the desert for decades because of their unbelief, disobedience, and fear. Movement does not mean you are moving forward.

This unique story is filled with some incredible lessons. Peter as a leader amongst the disciples. Choosing to fully follow the Lord and leave the old life behind. We hear testimony from one of the staff messages who knew what it was like to be 1 foot in 1 foot out and then had to make the decision to either be all in or all out and she chose to be all in! The fruit from that decision has been earthshaking for her and those who know her. Then the unique story of Peter catching a fish with the coin in its mouth out of obedience to the Lord in order to pay the temple tax. Pastor Josiah brings out some direct insight from these stories and how it should apply to our decision to fully follow Jesus well.

Pastor Josiah takes us into the story of Joseph. Joseph had favor everywhere he went which came from a long line of stewarding intimacy. Potiphar recognized the favor of the Lord on Josephs life and placed a demand on it which blessed his home as well. Then the enemy tried to mess it all up through Potiphar’s wife and her shenanigans. However, Joseph didn’t let it get to him. He found a way out. He found a way to maintain his integrity and keep the favor of God on his life. There’s so much oil on this subject, dive in and be blessed

After Jesus gets down the mountain after the transfiguration, immediately he’s met with religious leaders who are arguing with the disciples at the foot of the mountain. A father had brought his son to be delivered from demonic possession by the disciples but they weren’t successful. Jesus capitalizes on this teaching moment and invests some viable truths to His disciples and also restores the boy back to health. It’s so needed for fathers to pour into the next generation as we see this father doing. Getting his son to Jesus forever changed this families future, who are you standing in the gap for?
