Welcome, Beloved!

• Kill Everyone

  Exodus 32:25-29 NLT
  Moses saw that Aaron had let the people get completely out of control, much to the amusement of their enemies. So he stood at the entrance to the camp and shouted, “All of you who are on the Lord’s side, come here and join me.” And all the Levites gathered around him. Moses told them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Each of you, take your swords and go back and forth from one end of the camp to the other. Kill everyone—even your brothers, friends, and neighbors.” The Levites obeyed Moses’ command, and about 3,000 people died that day. Then Moses told the Levites, “Today you have ordained yourselves for the service of the Lord, for you obeyed him even though it meant killing your own sons and brothers. Today you have earned a blessing.”

  Matthew 19:23-30 NLT
  Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth, it is very hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. I’ll say it again—it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!” The disciples were astounded. “Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked. Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” Then Peter said to him, “We’ve given up everything to follow you. What will we get?” Jesus replied, “I assure you that when the world is made new and the Son of Man sits upon his glorious throne, you who have been my followers will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or property, for my sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and will inherit eternal life. But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.

  If the Lord calls us to give up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or property, for his sake — what is our answer?

  If the man of God told us because of the people’s great sin,  “take your swords and go back and forth from one end of the camp to the other. Kill everyone—even your brothers, friends, and neighbors.” — what is our response?

  When God calls us to lay aside anything that hinders our walk and our calling — what have we treated as sacred, as off limits,  as okay to allow the enemy a foothold,  rather than it being slain?

  What area of our life do we need to repent and give over fully to God?
