TOUCH NOT MY ANNOINTED
NUMBERS 16:41-48, The next day the whole community complained against Moses and Aaron and said, “you have killed some of the Lord’s people.” 42) After they had all gathered to protest to Moses and Aaron, they turned toward the tent and saw that the cloud was covering it and that the dazzling light of THE LORDS PRESENCE had appeared. 43)Moses and Aaron went and stood in front of the tent, 44) and the LORD SAID to Moses 45) “MOVE BACK FROM THESE PEOPLE, AND I WILL DESTROY THEM ON THE SPOT!” The TWO OF THEM bowed down WITH THEIR FACES TO THE GROUND, 46) And Moses said to Aaron, “ Take your FIRE pan, put LIVE COALS FROM THE ALTAR in it, and put some INCENSE on the coals. Then HURRY WITH IT TO THE PEOPLE and perform the ritual of PURIFICATION FOR THEM. HURRY! The LORD’S ANGER HAS ALREADY BROKEN OUT and an EPIDEMIC has already begun.” 47) Aaron obeyed, took his FIRE pan and RAN INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ASSEMBLED PEOPLE. When he saw that the PLAGUE HAD ALREADY BEGUN, he put the INCENSE on the coals and performed the ritual of PURIFICATION FOR THE PEOPLE. 48) THIS STOPPED THE PLAGUE, and he was left STANDING BETWEEN THE LIVING AND THE DEAD.
NUMBERS 12:1-15, Moses had married a cushite women, and Miriam and Aaron CRITICIZED him for it. 2) They said, “HAS THE LORD SPOKEN ONLY THROUGH MOSES? HASN’T HE ALSO SPOKEN THROUGH US?” The Lord HEARD WHAT THEY SAID. (Moses was a HUMBLE MAN, more HUMBLE than anyone else on Earth.) 4) SUDDENLY the LORD SAID to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “I WANT THE THREE OF YOU TO COME OUT to the TENT OF MY PRESENCE.” They went, 5) and the LORD CAME DOWN IN A PILLAR OF CLOUD, stood at the entrance of the tent, and called out, “Aaron! Miriam!” The two of them stepped forward, 6) and the LORD SAID, “NOW HERE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY! WHEN THERE ARE PROPHETS AMONG YOU, I REVEAL MYSELF TO THEM IN VISIONS AND SPEAK TO THEM IN DREAMS. 7) IT IS DIFFERENT WHEN I SPEAK WITH MY SERVANT MOSES; I HAVE PUT HIM IN CHARGE OF ALL MY PEOPLE ISREAL. 8) SO I SPEAK TO HIM FACE TO FACE, CLEARLY AND NOT IN RIDDLES; HE HAS EVEN SEEN MY FORM! (HOW DARE YOU SPEAK AGAINST MY SERVANT MOSES?” 9) The Lord was ANGRY with them; and so as He DEPARTED 10) and the cloud left the tent, Miriam’s skin was suddenly covered with a dreaded disease and turned as white as snow. When Aaron looked at her and saw that she was covered with the disease, 11) he said to Moses, “ PLEASE SIR, do not make us suffer this punishment for OUR FOOLISH SIN. 12) Don’t let her become like something born dead with half it’s flesh eaten away.” 13) So Moses CRIED OUT TO THE LORD, “O GOD HEAL HER!” 14) The Lord answered, “If her father had spit in her face, she would have to bear her disgrace for seven days. So let her be shut out of the camp for a week, and after that she can be brought back in.” 15) Miriam was shut out of the camp for seven days, and THE PEOPLE DID NOT MOVE ON UNTIL SHE WAS BROUGHT BACK IN.
Matthew 23) 37-39, “ Jerusalem, Jerusalem! YOU KILL THE PROPHETS AND STONE THE MESSENGERS GOD HAS SENT YOU! HOW MANY TIMES I WANTED TO PUT MY ARMS AROUND ALL YOUR PEOPLE, JUST AS A HEN GATHERS HER CHICKS UNDER HER WINGS, BUT YOU WOULD NOT LET ME! 38) AND SO YOUR TEMPLE WILL BE ABANDONED AND EMPTY. 39) FROM NOW ON , I TELL YOU, YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN UNTIL YOU SAY, ‘GOD BLESS HIM WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.’”
ACTS 9:1-6, In the meantime Saul kept up his violent threats of murder against the FOLLOWERS OF THE LORD he went to the High priest 2) and asked for letters of introduction to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he should find there ANY FOLLOWERS OF THE WAY OF THE LORD, he would be able to arrest them, both men and women, and bring them back to Jerusalem. 3) As Saul was coming near the city of Damascus, SUDDENLY A LIGHT FROM THE SKY FLASHED AROUND HIM. 4) He FELL TO THE GROUND and HEARD A VOICE SAYING TO HIM, “SAUL, SAUL! WHY DO YOU PERSECUTE ME?” 5) “Who are you, Lord?” he asked. “I AM JESUS, WHOM YOU PERSECUTE,” the Voice said. 6) But get up, and go into the city, where you will be told what you must do.”
Matthew 18: 21-35, Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, if my brother keeps on sinning against me, HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO FORGIVE HIM? Seven times?” 22) NO, not seven times, “ANSWERED JESUS, “ BUT SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN’ 23) Because the Kingdom of Heaven is like this. Once there was a King who decided to check on His servants’ accounts. 24)He had just begun to do so when one of them was brought in who owed Him millions of dollars. 25)THE SERVANT DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO PAY HIS DEBT. 26) The SERVANT FELL ON HIS KNEES BEFORE THE KING. ‘Be patient with ME,’ he BEGGED, and I will pay you everything!’ 27) The King FELT SORRY FOR HIM, so HE FORGAVE HIM THE DEBT AND LET HIM GO. 28) “Then the man WENT OUT and met one of his FELLOW SERVANTS who owed him A FEW DOLLARS. HE GRABBED HIM AND STARTED CHOKING HIM. ‘PAY BACK WHAT YOU OWE ME!’ he said. 29) His FELLOW SERVANT FELL DOWN AND BEGGED HIM, ‘BE PATIENT WITH ME, and I will pay you back!’ 30) BUT HE REFUSED; instead , he had him THROWN INTO JAIL until he should pay the DEBT.. 31) WHEN THE OTHER SERVANTS SAW WHAT HAD HAPPENED, THEY WERE VERY UPSET and went to the KING AND TOLD HIM EVERYTHING. 32) SO He CALLED the SERVANT in. ‘ YOU WORTHLESS SLAVE!’, He SAID. ‘I FORGAVE YOU THE WHOLE AMOUNT YOU OWED ME, Just because you ASKED ME TO. 33) YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD MERCY ON YOUR FELLOW SERVANT, JUST AS I HAD MERCY ON YOU.” 34 The King was VERY ANGRY, and He sent the Servant to JAIL to be punished until he should pay back the full amount.” 35) And JESUS CONCLUDED,” THAT IS HOW MY FATHER IN HEAVEN WILL TREAT EVERYONE OF YOU UNLESS YOU FORGIVE YOUR BROTHER FROM YOUR HEART.”
DEUTERONOMY 5:16, “’RESPECT YOUR MOTHER AND YOUR FATHER,AS I, THE LORD YOUR GOD COMMAND YOU, SO THAT ALL MAY GO WELL WITH YOU AND SO THAT YOU MAY LIVE A LONG TIME IN THE LAND THAT I AM GIVING YOU.
JOHN 14:24, Whoever DOES NOT Love me DOES NOT OBEY MY TEACHING. And the teaching you HAVE HEARD is not MINE, BUT COMES FROM THE FATHER WHO SENT ME..
Note: What a sad place to be. Many Christians do not realize the severity of un-forgiveness or lack of respect for men and women of God, and lack of respect for their parents. I pray, now that your ears have been open to hear Gods TRUTH, that you will realize what you are doing and repent. None of us deserves Gods Grace. We are all as FILTHY RAGS in the Sight of a HOLY GOD, But by Gods Grace we are FORGIVEN. Can we look into our own hearts to see if we harbor any grudges against anyone and ask God to Forgive us, and for us to forgive them. This does not mean it’s ok to snub them either, this is not LOVE or forgiveness. Lord show us how to Love! Amen!
