The “Incorruptible Class”

And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. ~ Numbers 13:30-31

What set Caleb and Joshua apart from the other ten spies sent by Moses? Their relationship with God…

“I feel like God has let go of me…”

God NEVER lets us go…He lets us grow which at times feels like He’s letting us go.

“I feel like God has let go of me” expressed by a sister/friend this week has a very eerie “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” ring to it, no? What sets the sister/friend apart from Jesus’ cry from the Cross {Mat. 27:46}? Their relationship to God.

A fanatic is one who entrenches himself in invincible ignorance. Job will not accept anything that contradicts the facts he knows; he is not melancholy, he does not say God is cruel, he simply states the facts—“It looks as though God is rejecting me without any reason, all the facts go to prove this and I am not going to avoid them.” Job will not lay a flattering unction to his soul on the line of expediency. No man ever puts a stumbling block in the way of others by telling the truth; to tell the truth is more honoring to God than to tell a lie. ~ Oswald Chambers, Conceptions for Rejection

Now, please understand, I am not singling out and placing my sister/friend in the dubious category of invincible ignorance by any stretch…I am placing all of us there. The ONLY way to remove our veil of invincible ignorance is to examine our relationship to God right alongside and step by step to the relationship Jesus had with His Father. Think of human relationships through the stages; stranger, acquaintance, friend, best friend, in-love (oft referred to as soulmate). Where does our relationship to God fall on this spectrum? I can tell you that tragically for most Americans, as I witnessed in a video clip Friday morning, the relationship most of us have with God falls somewhere between stranger and acquaintance. In the video a man approaches random people filling up their cars at a gas station and offers to pay for their fill-up if they can recite one Bible verse to him. Only one man in ten or twelve was able. And then we have the audacity to blame God for the global mess we ourselves have created! Jesus, on the other hand, in contrast to the other ten and the sister/friend, was fulfilling Psalm 22:1 prophecy while offering Himself up…the unblemished lamb to atone for the sins of all humanity, past, present, and future! I’m pretty sure that’s the in-love stage. Amen?

Growth = Change. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. ~ Romans 12:2

And the best defense against change? You guessed it, Invincible Ignorance! On the other hand…

And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment. ~ 1 Chronicles 12:32

“God is waking up the Incorruptible Class!” A Conversation With Audrey Werner of Matthew 18 Ministry “The church shifted because of the influence of Margaret Sanger and Alfred Kinsey…leading men to abandon love and protection for sex and recreation. https://sanger.hosting.nyu.edu/articles/kinsey/” ~ Audrey Werner of Matthew 18 Ministry. And the Incorruptible Class is “dedicated to waking up the Church to the social science which has overtaken it in the realm of life and marriage.” https://matthew18.org/

Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. ~ Romans 11:3-4

Pastor Dave has a message for all you pastors and churchmen perched safely on the fence feeling “bashed” by the seven thousand; Satan owns the fence!

Look and see, listen and hear…Think brothers and sisters:

The Intuition of Issachar

• The culture…
• The timing…
• The strategy…

The three wills of God:

• The good will…
• The acceptable will…
• The perfect will…is the Christian doing exactly what God wants at precisely the time He wants it done. ~ Ruckman Reference Bible 🙏🦅🙏

Psalm (Heart) & Proverb (Wisdom) a Day Drives the Tyrant Away! PS 12:5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD, I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. PR 26:14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
