HINDRANCES TO CROSSING OVER
by Apostle Sandy Hall
Greetings!
Greetings!
We are in the Hebrew month of Elul (the month of searching our hearts, repentance, and sanctification). This is the month to "prepare the people of God to cross over into their inheritance - - their prophetic future!"
The word of the Lord on yesterday (Sunday, September 10th) was to remind us that there were HINDRANCES which kept the children of Israel from "crossing over" into their prophetic promises - - Canaan. READ 1 Corinthians 10:1-13. You will find that in verses 5-10, God was not pleased and they died in the wilderness BEFORE ever "crossing over" because of these 5 Hindrances:
5 Hindrances To Crossing Over!
1. Lust/Greed - They craved, longed for, desired the things of the past (Egypt). They were controlled by their earthly nature. The Word tells us that we are to "abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul" (1 Pet. 2:11). Our souls must desire, crave, yearn for the Lord (see Ps. 42:2, Ps. 84:2, Isa. 26:9)! LET US NOT LET LUST/GREED HINDER OUR PROPHETIC FUTURE!!
2. Idolatry - They worshipped "man-made gods." They exchanged glory of God for an image (Rom. 1:23). The Word tells us that we are to shun idolatry (1 Cor. 10:14; 1 Cor. 6:9). LET US NOT LET MAN-MADE IDOLS (homes, cars, etc.) HINDER OUR PROPHETIC FUTURE!
3. Sexual Immorality - The people of God sinned sexually and in one day 23,000 died! The Word tells us to "be holy," that our bodies are the "temple of the Holy Spirit" (1 Cor. 6:19-20) and we are to honor God with our bodies! LET US NOT LET SEXUAL IMMORALITY HINDER OUR PROPHETIC FUTURE!
4. Tempting/Testing God - The dangers of "testing" God is death. It's dangerous because the purpose of testing is to see if the training and knowledge can elevate a person to another level. They have been "proved" and therefore "approved." When we test God, we are in essence making Him "prove himself" so that we can elevate Him. GOD IS ALREADY EXALTED! LET US NOT TEST GOD AND HINDER OUR PROPHETIC FUTURE!
5. Complaining - The people of God complained and were destroyed because of it. To complain is to murmur, to grumble, to find fault with others and with God. Complaining shows discontent, dissatisfaction and expresses resentment. They complained against spiritual leadership (Ex. 15:24), they complained about their hardships (Num. 11:1), they complained against the Lord (Ex. 16:7-9), and they even complained in the "privacy" of their tents [homes] (Deut. 1:27). The Word says for us to "do all things without grumbling" (Philippians 2:14). LET US NOT COMPLAIN FOR IT WILL HINDER OUR PROPHETIC FUTURE!
REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED IN THE WILDERNESS - - Let US search our hearts and offer up prayers of repentance as we prepare to enter our prophetic futures! We are praying for YOU!
Stay in the Glory!
