WILD FAITH - part 5 - “MOON WALKING”
**2 Kings 2:4
4 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
GILGAL - THE SPIN CYCLE
*(becoming) BETHEL - the temple of the Holy Spirit*
JERICHO - MEANS THE MOON
Ephesians 5:8
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
WALK = PARIPATEO - conduct your life, walk around in a full circle… keep walking the same way.
WHEN YOU WALK INTO A ROOM - THE ATMOSPHERE IS CALLED TO CHANGE!
Getting to Jericho IN THE WILD - is a time when self-promotion is finally dead - and we become GLORY
GETTING WILD ABOUT YOUR FAITH is to unbraid you from your FLESHLY perspective and braid you into GOD’S PERSPECTIVE -
- WE STOP LOOKING AT PROBLEMS IN “GREYSCALE” THINKING THEY ARE DIFFERENT LEVELS
- AND WE INSTEAD see kingdom possibilities in the midst of every situation!
1. MOONWALKERS - Known by our
2 Corinthians 2:14 - 16 TPT
14 God always makes his grace visible[a] in Christ, who includes us as partners of his endless triumph.[b] Through our yielded lives he spreads[c] the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere we go.
DOES GOD HAVE THE RIGHT AWAY?
15 We[d] have become the unmistakable aroma of the victory of the Anointed One to God—a perfume of life to those being saved and the odor of death[f] to those who are perishing.
16 The unbelievers smell a deadly stench that leads to death, but believers smell the life-giving aroma that leads to abundant life. And who of us can rise to this challenge?
SHINE when you don’t feel like it.
SHINE when others don’t like it.
SHINE whenever DARKNESS SHOWS UP!
QUIT SEEING THINGS IN SHADES OF GREY…
2. MOONWALKERS: DON’T REACT TO
THE WORLD NEEDS LESS OPINIONS BUT BETTER EXAMPLES
AS LIGHT: DON’T
- JUST
!
Isaiah 60:1 - 3
1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
ARISE = Hebrew = KOOM - to rise and stand with a decree, to perform, stir up.
SHINE = to make luminous, set on fire, full of glory. QAL FORM - to become such.
glory is “risen”
RISEN = zaw-rakh - irradiate (or shoot forth beams), to appear evidently…
“GROSS DARKNESS” = araphel - thick, foreboding darkness that is felt…
GENTILES = PEOPLE WITH NO RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
KINGS = PEOPLE IN HIGH POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY AND POWER.
3. MOONWALKERS - CHANGE
Mark 4:35 - 39
35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
LIGHT brings Atmospheric Metamorphosis
WHEN I SEE SOMETHING SCARY GOING ON IN OUR WORLD.
WHEN I SEE SOMETHING DIFFICULT HAPPENING IN THE LIFE OF SOMEONE I CARE ABOUT…
\ My CALL IS TO SHINE! //
I’m known by my SHINE: through my words & actions.
I don’t react to darkness - I SHINE
I change atmospheres with HIS LIGHT SHINING THROUGH ME!
Galatians 2:20
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
WE ARE THE REFRACTION OF THE GLORY OF GOD THAT COMES OUT OF JESUS!
- QUIT THINKING that this issue is bigger than you…
- QUIT GIVING HONOR TO how massive darkness is…
WHEN WE SHOW UP ON THE SCENE…
- WE ARE A LIGHT BEING THAT DISPELS DARKNESS!
