[Numbers 20] Surviving Stagnation. In this chapter, the people come to a flat, dry place and cry out for water. Many times, in your walk with God, you will experience dry and uncomfortable seasons. Your response during this time will impact your destiny for years to come and may cost you far more than you […]

[Numbers 19] Ashes of the Red Heifer. Our chapter today covers the subject of a very particular sacrifice known as the “Red Heifer.” What is so special about the Red Heifer? Is the physical temple of God going to be restored and the sacrifice reinstituted? What does the Red Heifer tell us about who Jesus […]

[Numbers 18] Jesus Bears Your Iniquity. In this chapter, God charges Aaron and his sons to bear the iniquity of the tabernacle. The New Testament tells us we are the Tabernacle of God. Jesus bears our iniquity. Even though Jesus was perfect, He could only bear the sin of the world by the enablement of […]

[Numbers 17] Aaron’s Rod that Budded. In this chapter, the people continue to murmur against Moses and Aaron after a rebellion in which 14,000 people are killed, including Korah, who was swallowed up alive by the earth. God vindicates Aaron, the high priest, as His chosen man by having all the surviving heads of Israel, […]

[Numbers 16] Surviving a Church Fight. In this chapter, we find Moses in conflict with a wealthy Israelite by the name of Korah. Moses is challenged and criticized for not producing as promised.

[Numbers 14] Avoiding the Wilderness Trip! In this chapter, the people respond to the ten spies who brought back the evil report. The voice of reason and rationale often provoke us to react to problems in fear and doubt. The ten spies’ evil report could have been motivated out of healthy caution and sensibility, but […]

[Numbers 13] Believing the Good Report. In this chapter, the twelve spies go into Canaan’s land to bring back a report to Moses and the people. God seldom allows us to go into a situation without our eyes open to what is ahead. He will keep you informed, and nothing will take you by surprise […]

[Numbers Chapter Twelve] Dealing with Your Critics. In this chapter Moses is criticized by those closest to him. His response earns him the title of the most “meek man” that ever lived. Zipporah was a Midianite and from all accounts a strong personality. Many times the spouse of a man or woman of God can […]

[Numbers 11] Would that All God’s People were Prophets! In this chapter, the people complain once again about the manna. Moses is at the end of his patience and cries out to God. In response, God offers to take the prophetic spirit on Moses and give it to 70 elders to help Moses bear the […]
