http://www.bibleistrue.com/qna/pqna73.htm This is a place where Moses brought The children of Israel Deu 2:24 ASV - Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon: behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle. The Arnon Gorge it is still there today. Deu 1:20 ASV - And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the hill-country of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God giveth unto us.
Deu 1:21 ASV - Behold, Jehovah thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, take possession, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, hath spoken unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.
Deu 1:22 ASV - And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities unto which we shall come.
Deu 1:23 ASV - And the thing pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe:
Deu 1:24 ASV - and they turned and went up into the hill-country, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
Deu 1:25 ASV - And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which Jehovah our God giveth unto us.
Deu 1:26 ASV - Yet ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God:
Deu 1:27 ASV - and ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because Jehovah hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Deu 1:34 ASV - And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
Deu 1:35 ASV - Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
Deu 1:37 ASV - Also Jehovah was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither:
Num 20:7 ASV - And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
Num 20:8 ASV - Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock; so thou shalt give the congregation and their cattle drink.
Num 20:9 ASV - And Moses took the rod from before Jehovah, as he commanded him.
Num 20:10 ASV - And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; shall we bring you forth water out of this rock?
Num 20:11 ASV - And Moses lifted up his hand, and smote the rock with his rod twice: and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their cattle.
Num 20:12 ASV - And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed not in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them. Luke 14-26 "If you want to be my follower you must love me more than* your own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, more than your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. In all this the Lord is saying nothing short of complete Faith in him, trusting him with your very life itself, laying our life's down for him if we fall short. Everything in these verses are pointing to the promised land, its about life eternal the types and the shadows are ever present. God did not tell Moses to pick twelve spies, the people told Moses and Moses said it pleased me. Where was God in this decision ,but he was still a father watching over them. God said go and posses the land I have given you it was already done, doubt and unbelief. A double minded man will not receive from God. He is unstable in ALL his ways. Jesus was looking for faith he was looking for them to believe, Jesus did not weep when he stood at the tomb of Lazarus because he loved him much, he cried because they did not believe, He told Martha did I not tell you to believe, just believe. His disciples said now we understand Lord and Jesus said now do you believe. Moses let his flesh get involved and sent out the spies. They spoke we know God said but!! lets just make sure first,and he bent to their will and relented. No! that's not trusting God, FAITH is the substance of things hope for things unseen. If you can touch it, feel it ,or smell it where is your faith. Rom 3:4 ASV - God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment. Psa 119:160 ASV - The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances [endureth] for ever. If you want to please God walk in the light the word is light. For every wall we build we have the power through his word to walk in those promises, But the plumb line is in that word and that wall has to be straight. The house must be built upon the rock, God told Moses speak to the rock just speak to the rock and out will come water. The first time God said strike the rock, and that was his ransom paid for you and I, Christ only dies once. We can not put him upon the cross again and again, he died once for all time. You do not have to sin any more we are free from the power of sin it has no hold on you any more if we sin its because we choose to, but we have an advocate in Christ 1Jo 1:7 ASV - but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1Jo 1:9 ASV - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
The rock is Jesus and the water is his word the cleansing water of the word . Jam 1:13 ASV - Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man:
Jam 1:14 ASV - but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
Jam 1:15 ASV - Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.
Hbr 2:1 ASV - Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away [from them].
Hbr 2:2 ASV - For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
Hbr 2:3 ASV - how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard;
Hbr 2:4 ASV - God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will.
Hbr 2:5 ASV - For not unto angels did he subject the world to come, whereof we speak.
Hbr 2:10 ASV - For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Hbr 2:11 ASV - For both he that sanctifieth and they that are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Isa 53:7 KJV - He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Isa 53:8 KJV - He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
Isa 53:9 KJV - And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither [was any] deceit in his mouth.
Isa 53:10 KJV - Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. Hbr 6:1 KJV - Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
If today I could personally set and look you in the eyes and proclaim this word to you or you to me, would it offend you or would you be glad for the word spoken, would you believe you have been singled out for some reason. Would build your faith and give you hope. I hid from this word for some time God gave me a dream one night,I saw my self in a forest there were trees very large trees all around me. the dream was in the night it was dark I was standing in this forest and I saw a bright light shining through the trees and when it would came my way I would hide behind one of the large trees it would go back and forth searching through the trees and I was the only one in this forest. I would jump from one tree to another to hide from the bright light. For several days I would ponder this dream and wonder what it could mean. Several months went by and it began to slip my mind. Until one day the Lord came upon me with a great chastening, at the time I did not know what was happening I was just completely overwhelmed with this thing that was putting me on my face day and night. And until God puts us in a place such as this we really cant see who we are ,how does God see us. And because he Loves us so much he chastens us with his love. And brings to a place where we can not hide any more. For several months I was being work on by my Dad and he was speaking and I was listening, God has a way to get our attention he puts a nail in our shoe and we cant go any where. I am so grateful to The Lord for his correction and the ability to know his love for me. He wants to show his love to us he wants us to hold him close to our hearts and experience his love. Its beyond human understanding it goes so much deeper than I could have imagined. We cant hide any more time is short and the Lord has opened a window for those he loves so much. The trees where people just people all around, and when we are surrounded by people we lose sight of our individual position with God,where we stand as an individual and as a corporate body of believers. The body of Christ is made up of many individual believers. Each one of us is a soul needing this great salvation. So your father deals with you on an individual basis. You know Peter said it this way ,when Jesus told Peter he was called to feed his sheep and also he would give his life for that calling Peter began to see trees all around him(hiding in the night in the dark) and said but Lord(speaking of John just another tree) what about him what is going to happen to him. And we know what Jesus said what about John, its you I am looking at Peter. Pride and arrogance foolishness and not being accustom to the word of righteousness put me in that forest. But Gods great light is shining brightly and he found me and yes I was lost. The things I thought were true and the life I was living had to go I had to come out in the light and let the word of God begin to wash me. And it is still washing me. I was playing my guitar and just singing to the Lord one day. And he gave me a line in a song and it said, And as the dew that falls upon sweet blossoms the Lord kissed my cheek and told me he loves me. And I said oh Lord how can this be, my heart was broken and I knew he was there with me. And he said read Song of songs chapter 2. And when I read that word I see now just how much he wants to have that close relationship with all his children. That is why I write this today to you, just to you to encourage you and cause your faith to ring aloud, some one is watching you and listening to you some one who needs their faith bolstered to line up with the whole word of God. That we set our face as flint to press on to the high calling of God that we may know the power of his resurrection,the fellowship of his suffering and being made conformable onto his death that we may know him yes that we may know him. God is calling people out, out into the light 1Jo 1:7 ASV - but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. I believe we are coming to our own Arnon River Gorge,if you click on the web site you can see this valley just as the children of God saw it. But God said I will fight for you I will bring you into your promise land just believe. We must understand one thing now before we go any farther, this old man will not inter into the promise land of God, This mortal flesh body will be changed and than we will meet him in the air 1Th 4:16 ASV - For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;
1Th 4:17 ASV - then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1Cr 15:50 ASV - Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
1Cr 15:51 ASV - Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Cr 15:52 ASV - in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Cr 15:53 ASV - For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Cr 15:54 ASV - But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 1Cr 15:26 ASV - The last enemy that shall be abolished is death. David Wilkerson wrote, The Lord is looking for believers who are not satisfied with sifting through
all the conflicting voices to find a true word. He wants us to hunger for a revelation of him that is all our own—a deep, personal intimacy.
God Bless You All
