Homecoming Huddles
⁃ Pastor Hee Jhun
The 3D army came. In debt, distress, discouraged / discontented.
The Lord does not forsake us or reject us. Even a bruise weed He would not break
The Lord turned these 3D army into mighty men. This is what the presence of God does for us. We come out stronger, wiser.
Come into His presence
We are His beloved children in the Father’s house.
We are young and full of life!
God brought you out of Egypt to bring us in the promised land. He never bring us out and leave us there. He brings us out to bring us in.
God’s way is always from glory to glory.
We go through ups and downs.
We think “don’t be hopeful”
But that is not God’s way. God’s way is from glory to glory. We are His children.
God created day and night but He started with night and day. First day start with night. From dark to bright. The path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter.
We can look forward to a greater things!
We are of the Lord. We are in His kingdom.
There are different level of favour. The 11th hour generation. God wants us to be super blessed. Not only blessed.
Numbers 13
He sent the 12 spies and they came back with bad reports.
Numbers 13:27-33
Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.”
Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”
But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
Caleb quieten the people.
Caleb said we can do this. But the people answered they were not able to and gave a bad report.
They mentioned all the negatives. They are real. They are reality. They did not have a heavenly perspective when they looked at the reality. They looked at the reality with a natural perspective. What is the perspective that we see it with?
Their conclusion was it cannot be done.
“In our own sights”
No one told them they were like grasshoppers
Is their own perspective
Not one time they mentioned the Lord
Numbers 14:8
If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land which flows with milk and honey.’
Caleb saw the same thing as them. Caleb involved the Lord.
Since the Lord delights in us, it is a given. Because the Lord delights in us. We are the beloved children of God in whom He delights in. Because He delights in us, He will settle for us. He will do the bringing and lifting. He will not just bring it, He will give it. He has given us divine authority, a supply that never runs out!
The 10 spies never once mentioned the Lord
Caleb had. He involved the Lord.
It is important for us to involve the Lord. Involve His grace and His favour.
Involve His wisdom!
There are levels of blessing but it is not how we qualify for it.
We don’t involve the Lord and don’t realised how much the Lord delights in us.
There is a place we can grow in revelation. Grow in the level of blessings and growth.
Growth is always we need to earn it. There is a pressure.
But the growth that comes is not about us trying but about us receiving
Living a life with God’s purpose is important. Goodness and mercy chased us and hunt us down. We don’t need to chase.
Live life with God’s blessing
Fruitful and prosperous
Multiply is a way – when we have revelation and we share God’s blessing and it is multiplied
Multiply in being a blessing.
Genesis 2:15
Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.
God wants us to cultivate the gifts that He has given us.
There is a place to cultivate what the Lord has put in us.
It speaks of what divine purpose God has for us. God wants to set us free.
This is something to be excited about! There is more! There is much more favour and wisdom we can walk in!
Our vision for this year is hesed wisdom.
It is a wisdom that loves us. Hesed is about His lovingkindness.
Proverbs 14:1
The wise woman builds her house,
But the foolish pulls it down with her hands.
Wisdom can cause you to build and cultivate. Foolishness destroy.
We could be organising our lives in certain way that are destroying us.
We could have certain judgement that is causing us not to be friendly.
Wisdom cause us to be built up but foolishness tear us down.
God’s heart is to teach us to profit.
We are never too advanced in years to learn.
If you feel you cannot change, you cannot be transformed from glory to glory.
Proverbs 14:12-16
There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.
Even in laughter the heart may sorrow,
And the end of mirth may be grief.
The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways,
But a good man will be satisfied from above.
The simple believes every word,
But the prudent considers well his steps.
A wise man fears and departs from evil,
But a fool rages and is self-confident.
Be mindful of presumption.
We are but little children. We are children of God.
Dependent on Him.
Allow God to show us.
There is something called surface and something called root.
It may seems all ok, but the root is sorrow. Ask God to grant us divine insight. How we plan our lives and occupy our time.
We do not know what to do when we got thing to do.
Inside there is a hunger that cannot be satisfied but only by the Lord.
Spend time with people the Lord wants us to spend time with.
Come together, fellowship and experience in God’s body ministry.
In the house of God when there is opportunity together, divine platform, step out of the comfort zone.
Let the Lord show u something.
Naturally i will want to stay with my friends forever. But we journey through lives different season different people.
God taught us through different people in our lives. Allow ourselves to be planted in the house of the Lord.
To see the root cause.
Proverbs 14:14
The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways,
But a good man will be satisfied from above.
Filled with natural thinking.
People are like washpots in our lives. The Lord is growing us in a way not natural.
The ways of God is always higher and above. The ways of God always satisfy
Sometimes it is hard to forgive people who are your washpots.
Love your enemies…
The grace of God is so amazing. God can give us the grace to love them. Love them, and you will feel set free.
Christ in me and i can love my enemies!
Let the Word of God sow in our hearts.
The Word of God is always a higher way.
There is no bitterness, but freedom
Proverbs 14:15
The simple believes every word,
But the prudent considers well his steps.
Slow down and take a step back and ask the Lord. Always consult the Lord. Never presume and assume.
Take time to consider our steps. Pull back. The way we make decision. If we are stressed always, consider our steps.
Proverbs 14:16
A wise man fears and departs from evil,
But a fool rages and is self-confident.
A fear of God.
Someone who fears the Lord involve the Lord.
There is a God we can look to.
There is a God in my life! I don’t need to fear men because there is a God in my life!
We will depart from evil. It has ability to cause us to depart from evil, when God is in the picture. We shall be restful. Confident not in ourselves but in the Lord.
Wisdom and nuggets of how we live our lives
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The Word of God is powerful! We are able to distinguish natural and heavenly perspective. The Word of God goes deep. The Word of God causes us to repent (change our mind)
Romans 8:29-30
For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
He brings us out He bring us in.
When there is a mess, there shall be a message that comes out of it.
When there is a trial there is a testimony.
It is not about us trying to renew ourselves. Keep receiving His gift of righteousness and He will do the works of restoration and cause us to live a high life and for us to receive the glorious life He has qualified us for it.
You are called. Your life is special. You are not forsaken. Whom He called, these He also justified. By His blood He has washed us white as snow. Justified us by divine rights we are His beloved prince and princess!
These He also glorified!
He will cause all things to work out for our good. Things that we make mistake as well.
If God be for you, who can be against you? What can be against you?
Even yourself, cannot be against you.
God is for you.
