MOVING FORWARD IN GOD'S FOOTSTEPS FROM GILGAL גלגל - [Sermon Note]

Pastor Stephanie





There are giants in the promised land.

First generation not spiritually matured enough, cannot fight the giants.


Promised land is not for the faint hearted.


Promises - Divine health, divine riches, life abundantly without fear, without condemnation.


Giants are keeping us from the blessings and promises of God.


Faith is believing God’s Word.


Warriors are those who dare to rule and reign in the promised land.


When we read the Word of God, are we really reading?


God is real. He is real today, yesterday and forever.


See with our spiritual eyes and be built in our spirit man.


Get to eat and taste of the new land; the promises of God.


Go in and possess the land.


Jesus removed sins so now we can produce spiritual fruits.


Sin has no more dominion over us.


Today, we believe to see.

Faith is believe first and then we will see the manifestation.


We will begin to do the things of faith instead of fear.


Domineering is about decision making.

Rulership is also about making decision.


We always let our flesh make the decision.

Decision making from spirit, soul and body.

Action will follow what we believe.


Money is deceitful.

The love for money is the root of all evil.

When we depend on money, we don’t depend on God.


Spirit man will always believe God’s Word but then sometimes it will overrule by the five senses.


ROMANS 2:28-29 NLT

For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or

because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision.

 

No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God.

And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather,

it is a CHANGE of HEART produced by the SPIRIT.

 

And a person with a CHANGED HEART seeks praise from God, not from people.


We have undergo spiritual circumcision of removing our sins.


We are given a new spirit and new heart.


JOSHUA 5:9-10 CEB  

Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have ROLLED away from you the disgrace of Egypt.”

So the place was called GILGAL, as it is today.

 

The Israelites camped in Gilgal. They celebrated Passover on the evening of the fourteenth day of the month on the plains of Jericho.


Gilgal represents the cross.

We need to start at the cross.

To understand and have revelation on what happened at the cross.

Not a one way ticket to Heaven.


Sin has no more dominion over us.

It starts at the cross where Jesus died for us.


We are not commanded to love Him but because we see how He loved us, so we love Him back.


Passover related to Jesus’ death.


We need to fight the fight of faith.

H1537

Holy Spirit will give us the wisdom, lead us to make decision that will bring us wealth, wholeness, abundance etc.


Lamed:-

Shepherd’s staff

Voice of authority


Gimel is an active word.

It means run, move, transport.


A disciple. A follower.


God gives us teachers and pastors to instruct us.

Can make wise decision that will bring in the supernatural manifested into the physical realm.


ROMANS 8:14 CEB

All who are LED by GOD’S SPIRIT are GOD’S SONS and DAUGHTERS.


Not to learn “the letter of the Law” but to learn to “walk in the Spirit”


Walking led by Holy Spirit.


To walk in the spirit is all about making decision.

40 years of wilderness; wrong direction in life; waste a lot of time.

Original: ἄγω

Transliteration: agō

Phonetic: ag'-o

to lead, take with one

to lead by laying hold of, and this way to bring to the point of destination

Grow to maturity and make decision from the spirit.


PSALM 23:3 TPT

That’s where he restores and revives my life.

He opens before me the right PATH and LEADS me along in his FOOTSTEPS of RIGHTEOUSNESS so that I can bring HONOR to HIS NAME.


Only one thing that pleased God which is faith.

H4570 path

Original: מעגּלה מעגּל

From the same as H5696; a track; also a rampart (as circular):- going, path, trench, way([-side]).

DEUTERONOMY 11:24 KJV

Every place whereon the SOLES of your FEET shall tread shall be YOURS: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the RIVER, the river EUPHRATES, even unto the uttermost SEA shall your COAST be.


They are to walk.

Walk in the spirit.


Rivers speaks of prosperity.

Anointing flow like the river.


Our inheritance starts from in Christ.


SOLES - כּף   kaph- the hollow hand or palm

FEET - רגל  regel - footstep, follow, walk, journey

COAST - גּבוּל  gebûl gebûl

border, territory


Just as they saw God’s footprint going before them as they ascended Mount Sinai, they symbolically set GOD’S FOOTPRINT before them as they entered the land He had promised them. 

 

It was to be a lasting reminder that every place that the soles of their feet would tread was theirs because of Him. 


There was more than one Gilgal because this was never about a particular place, instead, the FOOTPRINT at each site that was scattered throughout the land was to remain a lasting testimony that He would go before them always.
