Marching Orders
I was having a conversation with God reading through the scriptures when the words “marching orders” came into my spirit. The words were actually, “obey your marching orders.” I also heard him say, “This what you are to write about for the week.” All kinds of scenarios came to mind, but I felt like God was saying something different. Then it hit me, he had given me some instructions on how to move with an assignment. I kept saying, “okay,” but I was not following the instructions. I actually forgot the instructions and was doing the assignment the best way I could. Here’s the best part; I thought I was perfectly aligned with God!
But just like God sent a prophet to Israel when they were disobedient, He does the same to us today. Hebrews 13:8 says that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. I received a phone call from an ambassador of Christ with a “one minute” word. She said, “God told me to give you this one minute word.”
The message in part said when we are disobedient, we make way for evil to be established against us. When we are delayed in our obedience, it does not mean something is not happening. Partial obedience is still disobedience. The Roman Empire became empowered when there was no prophet or king in Israel. The Israelites had chosen not to follow the commandments God had given them and God did not speak. It was 450 years between the Old and New Testaments. During that time of disobedience something was still happening.
I immediately asked God, “Is there something that I am not being obedient in?” He immediately showed me and I repented instantly! Family, God is not playing. He is serious and means what he says. We are just so blessed that he is gracious and kind. I encourage you to take a moment and ask God if there are any areas of your life that he has given you instructions and you have disobeyed. When he brings revelation to you, repent and turn back to him in full obedience!
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14, ESV
