Sleeper Cells

People reveal who they are to you when you give them the ability to talk. Jesus taught that it’s out of the abundance of the heart that people speak. Many times people will be in your life and act as if they are for you and when enough pressure comes and they get the opportunity to talk, the real them comes out. They are chameleons and they are sleeper cells. Sleeper cells are terrorists in your life that look to be good for you until the right (or wrong) circumstances come. It’s was Moses’ own brother and sister that spoke against him and when they did, they incited judgment against themselves.

Terrorists that are in America can’t really be open with their inner hatred of Americans and so they are called sleeper cells. When the time is right, the real them is revealed and they launch an attack. You must understand that people will show you who they really are and you must believe them and follow God’s advice concerning their involvement in your life.

Forgive them quickly and move on. Their betrayal is not worth it! Don’t negotiate with God on what He says. If they must go, then they must go!!

Spoils from the War

Numbers 31:12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.

There are battles that we will have to fight in life where God goes before us and He is our strength. The battle we fight is with our mind and with keeping the faith during times that look tough. When we wage war against negative circumstances we can sometimes find ourselves questioning if we’re called and if God is really going to make a way for us. He can, He will, and He has. However, the Lord will not fight every battle for us. The Children of Israel had many battles that God fought for them, but there were others that they had to go out and fight themselves with God’s divine instruction.

A short cut to having your battles end quickly is through your praise and worship of God according to 2nd Chronicles 20:20. At the end on the battles we get to collect the spoils of war, which was everything that the enemy that you just defeated had. If you just fought a financial battle that means increased financial provision is your spoil. If you just fought a family battle that means a harmonious family is your spoil.
