Eternal Growth Group, Inc.

As part of our priestly responsibilities, we are to be intercessors for the lives we are connected to and for those who truly serve and love God, their words have sway before God. Please use the privilege/blessing God has given you and pray for others.

Numbers 21:6-7
6 Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died.
7 The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.

James 5:16
Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

Even though all men are equal in the sight of God, those of us who lead in the house of God (at home or church) are expected to always display holiness or set a godly example or else we lose rewards or suffer consequences.

Numbers 20:12-13
12 But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust me enough to demonstrate my holiness to the people of Israel, you will not lead them into the land I am giving them!”
13 This place was known as the waters of Meribah (which means “arguing”) because there the people of Israel argued with the LORD, and there he demonstrated his holiness among them.

Luke 12:47-48
47 And that servant who knew his master’s will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating.
48 But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.

Look at all the work it takes to remain undefiled or pure before God in Numbers 19. But now, all we need is to accept Christ our Lord Jesus as our Savior and we are holy and righteous forever. How kooooooooooool is that. So before you complain about that next little temptation you have to overcome, consider all the Israelites had to go through to stay pure and then all our Lord Christ Jesus suffered to obtain purity for us.

Hebrews 9:11-15a
11 So Christ has now become the High Priest over all the good things that have come. He has entered that greater, more perfect Tabernacle in heaven, which was not made by human hands and is not part of this created world.
12 With his own blood—not the blood of goats and calves—he entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured our redemption forever.
13 Under the old system, the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow could cleanse people’s bodies from ceremonial impurity.
14 Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins.
15 That is why he is the one who mediates a new covenant between God and people, so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them

We are truly blessed when we consider the fact that everything that belongs to God is also ours if we are saved and in Christ. We will experience all God has for us via our close relationship to Him. Get closer to God.

Numbers 18:
14 “Everything in Israel that is specially set apart for the LORD also belongs to you.

Romans 4:13
13 Clearly, God’s promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God’s law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith.

We are truly blessed to be called by God and made His priests and priestesses. We get our protection and provision directly from “The Source” (God). However, we are responsible for the work He has commanded us to do as well as for our children who we must introduce to the service of God. Please involve your children in praise, prayers, reading of God’s word, service to God and service to others.

Numbers 18:1-2
1 Then the LORD said to Aaron: “You, your sons, and your relatives from the tribe of Levi will be held responsible for any offenses related to the sanctuary. But you and your sons alone will be held responsible for violations connected with the priesthood.
2 “Bring your relatives of the tribe of Levi—your ancestral tribe—to assist you and your sons as you perform the sacred duties in front of the Tabernacle of the Covenant.

God will use a sign/miracle to display clearly to others that we are His chosen and maybe He already has. It will hopefully, help remind them not to speak ill of you or fight against you and there by help prevent them from bringing the strong judgement of God against them.

Numbers 17:9-11
9 When Moses brought all the staffs out from the LORD’s presence, he showed them to the people. Each man claimed his own staff.
10 And the LORD said to Moses: “Place Aaron’s staff permanently before the Ark of the Covenant to serve as a warning to rebels. This should put an end to their complaints against me and prevent any further deaths.”
11 So Moses did as the LORD commanded him.

Please consider how truly blessed we are considering the fact that God sees us as holy. In the past, only items in His presence or the one priest who entered His presence was considered holy if he stayed alive. Others had to be consecrated by that Priest. But, now, if you are saved and in Christ, living for Him, you are holy and are constantly being made holy by God Himself Hallelujaah Amen!!!

Numbers 16:38b
38b Since these burners were used in the LORD’s presence, they have become holy.

1 Thessalonians 5:23
23 Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.

Another blessing, gift, God has given us is the authority to speak/declare a thing and see it come to pass. Just like He did in creating the earth and all in it, if we who are conforming to His image and likeness command a thing it can happen. So be careful what you declare.

Numbers 16:28-33
28 And Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD has sent me to do all these things that I have done—for I have not done them on my own.
29 If these men die a natural death, or if nothing unusual happens, then the LORD has not sent me.
30 But if the LORD does something entirely new and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them and all their belongings, and they go down alive into the grave, then you will know that these men have shown contempt for the LORD.”
31 He had hardly finished speaking the words when the ground suddenly split open beneath them.
32 The earth opened its mouth and swallowed the men, along with their households and all their followers who were standing with them, and everything they owned.
33 So they went down alive into the grave, along with all their belongings. The earth closed over them, and they all vanished from among the people of Israel.

Job 22:28

King James Bible
28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
28 When you make a decision, it will be carried out, and light will shine on your ways.

There is divine protection for those who are found doing what God has called them to do. When we submit to God in all things and do the work/job/ministry He has asked us to, nothing can harm us and when people revile against us they actually revile against God and He will defend us and fight for us. Read the rest of Numbers 16 to see Gods action against those who fight against His servants. God blesses those who serve Him!

Numbers 16: 7b and 11
7b …Then we will see whom the LORD chooses as his holy one…
11 The LORD is the one you and your followers are really revolting against! For who is Aaron that you are complaining about him?”

Exodus 23:25-26
25 “But you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water; and I will remove sickness from your midst.
26 “There shall be no one miscarrying or barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.

Do we truly realize how blessed and privileged we are to be chosen and loved by The Almighty God? The verse below was spoken during the proving that Moses and Aaron were the chosen to lead Israel. Are we not now the chosen for our generation? Are we not always in His presence?

Numbers 16:5b
“Tomorrow morning the LORD will show us who belongs to him and who is holy. The LORD will allow only those whom he selects to enter his own presence.
