“Victory and Carelessness” 15 -Final episode-
Joshua 7:7 NKJV:
And Joshua said, “Alas, Lord God, why have You brought this people over the Jordan at all—to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh, that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!
God said, “Get up!”
God knows sin.
It had to be made public, so the tribe which the Lord took had to come, to see which of the twelve tribes had sinned, the tribes were taken one by one, and in the end it came to Achan.
Joshua 7:17-18 NKJV:
He brought the clan of Judah, and he took the family of the Zarhites; and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man, and Zabdi was taken. Then he brought his household man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
God knew, but he made it clear to everyone that it was Achan.
Joshua said to Achan, “give glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession to Him, and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.” And Achan confessed that he had sinned.
Joshua 7:21 NKJV:
When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. And there they are, hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under it.”
We must not become Achan. We must not touch what belongs to God.
In the end, they burned him and his family with fire after they stoned them with stones, and verse 26 says that the Lord turned from the fierceness of His anger.
Please pay attention to Joshua 7:24.
Joshua 7:24 NKJV:
Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them to the Valley of Achor.
God will not accept stolen gold. God does not ask you to bring gold and silver because He wants them.
He says He does not want anything unclean. We must be careful not to let that happen before God.
We will be victorious, but we must not be careless.
If you look up to God, you will live a victorious life. You will live a life of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
And you will experience many miracles.
At that time, do not think that you can do it again because you did it last time. You must not be careless.
Why was it possible? Did you do it by your own power?
If you sin when you are with the Lord, you cannot stand before God, and God will not work with you.
Let us always be humble.
It is not something you can do, it is something God did. It means that we were used for His purpose.
I give the glory back to the Lord. In the Name of Jesus, Amen. Thank you.

フィリピンの方の証です。
私の名前はベスです。フィリピン出身です。
私はこの教会(ERM京都聖会)に時々参加しています。
私は先週日曜日、私が以前通っていた教会の礼拝に参加しました。
ある女性の方の隣に座ったのですが、(周りの人が言うに)その方は悪霊に取り憑かれているようでした。
私はただその方の腰に触っただけだったのですが、その後家に帰ると、(私の頭に)3つのできものと、(首回りに)３つの腫れ物が出来ていました。
それはとても痛くて、月曜から、火曜、水曜、木曜、とずっと痛みがありました。
ですが、今日友人からこの聖会のことを聞いて、参加しに来たのです。
私がこの部屋に入った途端、できものや腫れ物の全部が消えてしまいました！！！！
主を褒め称えます。
だから私はこうやって首回りを触っているのです！！！
本当に、主よ感謝します。誉めたたえます！
