PRAYER JOURNAL - UNITY, OBEDIENCE & THE WALLS OF JERICHO WILL FALL AGAIN!

‎HOLY SPIRIT AWAKENED MY SLEEPING COMPUTER TO SHOW ME PROPHETIC NUMBERS. 

‎HE REVEALED THE TIME ⁦‪10:17‬⁩ 👉🏻 HEBREW 1017 👉🏻 Beth Haeli 👉🏻 Bethelite

‎בֵּית הָאֱלִי designates “the Bethelite,” that is, a resident of Bethel. In the Old Testament the term is applied to Hiel, whose rebuilding of Jericho fulfilled the curse spoken centuries earlier by Joshua.

‎1 Kings ⁦‪16:34‬⁩ – “In his days, Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt Jericho. At the cost of Abiram his firstborn, he laid its foundations, and at the cost of Segub his youngest, he set up its gates, according to the word of the LORD spoken through Joshua son of Nun.”

‎IN MY RESEARCH, I FOUND THIS TEACHING WITH A VERY IMPORTANT LESSON AS WE ARE MAKING OUR EXODUS AND SOJOURNING TO THE PROMISED LAND. WE CANNOT DO IT IN OUR OWN WISDOM, STRENGTH OR MIGHT. WE MUST KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO TRULY TRUST AND RELY UPON GOD RATHER THAN MAN. 

‎WHY WAS JERICHO NOT TO BE REBUILT?

‎Jericho is highly strategic. 

‎It guards the eastern entrance into the Hill Country of the Promised Land. There was no going around it. In order for the ancient Israelites to take possession of the Promised Land the obstacle that was Jericho needed to be overcome. It needed to fall.

‎Now after Jericho miraculously fell Joshua did something very odd – he invoked a curse on anyone who would attempt to rebuild the city.

‎Why would he do that? 

‎It would have made enormous sense to rebuild it, and to fortify it. Jericho is the backdoor to the Hill Country, and the later to be established city of Jerusalem. By leaving Jericho in ruins you would be leaving the entire land open and vulnerable to attack. You would be leaving the back door to your country wide open… it just makes no sense.

‎By not rebuilding Jericho Joshua was demonstrating active faith.

‎He was heeding the instruction that Moses had provided the fledgling nation before they entered the Promised Land.

‎These words of Moses are recorded in Deuteronomy 8 and verses 17 and 18. Here Moses reminded the people where their source of security was. Their security was not the result of the work of their own hands, or by relying on their own strength. Rather their security and prosperity was intimately linked with their obedience to the Word of God and their trust in His faithfulness.

‎The strength of God, rather than their own, was their security.

‎Not rebuilding and fortifying Jericho was a powerful declaration about the faithfulness of God.

‎DISCIPLESHIP REQUIRES FULL COMMITMENT

‎Joshua was all in. There were no half measures here. It’s impossible to fully rely on God if there is a “just in case” plan B… just in case God doesn’t pull through lets build Jericho, so that we can protect what we have.

‎This reminds me of a passage in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount where he says:

‎No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You can not serve God and money. Matthew ⁦‪6:24‬⁩

‎True discipleship requires that we are all in for the one that we are following.

‎We cannot simultaneously serve ourselves and God.

‎REBUILDING JERICHO, REJECTING GOD

‎Jericho remained in ruins for a long time however it was eventually rebuilt during the reign of King Ahab – one of Israel’s most wicked kings who had no faith in God.

‎Ahab gave this task to a man by the name of Hiel of Bethel.

‎There is something very interesting about this man’s name.

‎Hiel is Hebrew for “El Lives”, or “God Lives”. Whilst Bethel means the “House of El” or the “House of God”.

‎Putting these two together we have “God Lives in the House of God”.

‎So when Hiel leaves Bethel to rebuild Jericho he leaves the “House of God” to build the “House of Man”.

‎A statement is being made. God’s house has been rejected. God is no longer to be found in His own house, he is now to be found in the house of man.

Rebuilding Jericho is declaring that it is man, and not God, that provides security.

THE CONSEQUENCE OF REJECTING GOD

True to Joshua’s curse both Hiel’s oldest and youngest sons are killed during the reconstruction of Jericho.

This was tragic for Hiel, but also prophetic for the nation of Israel, and a warning for us today.

In ancient thought the first born of the family represents the life of the family. So the death of both the oldest and the youngest sons illustrate the death of the entire family.

WHAT ABOUT OUR JERICHO?

However let us consider our own position. Let us consider our own Jericho.

For the ancient Israelites to posses the Promised Land, and for us to manifest the Kingdom of God today, Jericho needs to fall.

Life in Jericho can be extremely pleasant… yet it also prevents us from possessing God’s Promised Kingdom.

Jericho represents trusting in the strength of man to provide.

That thing from which we derive our security defines our God. This is why Jericho prevents us from possessing the Kingdom – because our focus is on our own strength and abilities, rather than on God’s.

What we learn from Jericho is that being a disciple of Jesus is not narcissistic. It is not about our own strength. It is not about seeking our own self improvement.

Being a disciple of Jesus is all about being fully committed to God. Faithfully obeying His Word, and trusting in His promises. Even if that doesn’t always make sense… even if that means leaving our back door wide open… 

Only then will we be able to fulfill our God promised destiny of being a blessing to the nations of the world… not because of our own strength, but because God’s Glory will be revealed as He demonstrates His faithfulness.

HOLY SPIRIT REVEALED THE NUMBER 8 👉🏻 NEW BEGINNINGS, COVENANT

HOLY SPIRIT REVEALED THE NUMBER 81 👉🏻 GREEK 81 👉🏻 adelphotés 👉🏻 brethren, brotherhood

The term ἀδελφότης designates the collective body of believers understood as a spiritual family united in Christ. It expresses both the objective reality of shared new-birth kinship and the ethical obligation that flows from it—loyal love, sacrificial care, and mutual honor among all who belong to Jesus.

Covenant Identity: By the new birth (1 Peter 1:3,23) believers are “born again” into one family; the brotherhood is therefore not merely sociological but covenantal.

Christ-Centered Unity: The elder Brother, Jesus Christ, “is not ashamed to call them brothers” (Hebrews 2:11). Their shared relation to Him forms the basis for their relation to one another.

Eschatological Community: The brotherhood points forward to the perfected family gathering in the new creation (Revelation 21:3), motivating holiness and perseverance now.

Because Christ’s atoning work creates the brotherhood, to love or despise it is to honor or affront Him. Local congregations are tangible expressions of this reality; therefore, church discipline, reconciliation, and communion are not optional practices but safeguards of familial integrity.

Cultivate intentional relationships across cultural and generational lines within the congregation. 

Intercede regularly for the persecuted church, mindful that their trials are family concerns. 

Prioritize corporate worship, the family table where brotherhood is nourished by Word and sacrament. 

Guard speech, remembering that slander wounds siblings for whom Christ died (1 Peter 2:1).

Ἀδελφότης calls the people of God to live as a Spirit-formed family—loving, honoring, suffering, and persevering together until the revelation of Jesus Christ.

PSALM 81 NLT “Sing praises to God, our strength. Sing to the God of Jacob. Sing! Beat the tambourine. Play the sweet lyre and the harp. Blow the ram’s horn at new moon, and again at full moon to call a festival! For this is required by the decrees of Israel; it is a regulation of the God of Jacob. He made it a law for Israel when he attacked Egypt to set us free. I heard an unknown voice say, “Now I will take the load from your shoulders; I will free your hands from their heavy tasks. You cried to me in trouble, and I saved you; I answered out of the thundercloud and tested your faith when there was no water at Meribah. Interlude Listen to me, O my people, while I give you stern warnings. O Israel, if you would only listen to me! You must never have a foreign god; you must not bow down before a false god. For it was I, the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things. But no, my people wouldn’t listen. Israel did not want me around. So I let them follow their own stubborn desires, living according to their own ideas. Oh, that my people would listen to me! Oh, that Israel would follow me, walking in my paths! How quickly I would then subdue their enemies! How soon my hands would be upon their foes! Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him; they would be doomed forever. But I would feed you with the finest wheat. I would satisfy you with wild honey from the rock.”

12:23 am 8/9/26

LORD DO YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING?

Unity My children! Unity! You are brothers and sisters. You have a common enemy. Shoot your arrows at the enemy and not at each other. My first commandment is to love your God with all your strength and all your might. My second commandment is to love one another as I love you. You cannot be in alignment with Me while at the same time you are back biting and slandering your brethren. Measure your words judiciously. As each word is a seed that will bring forth a harvest of fruit or destruction. I will tear down the walls of Jericho again and make a path for you to the Promised Land. As before so it is now. Complete trust and reliance upon Me will ensure victory. Remember I am a good Father who corrects My children. Submit to My correction as I know what is best for you and can see the path before you. If you hear My voice saying this way! Not that way! Heed it!!! Do not be stiff necked and stubborn as were your ancestors. Read My word to understand My covenant ways and obey. And surely you will prosper. Shalom. 

MESSAGE STARTED AT 12:23 AND ENDED AT 11:32 

EXODUS 12:23-32 NLT For the Lord will pass through the land to strike down the Egyptians. But when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, the Lord will pass over your home. He will not permit his death angel to enter your house and strike you down. Remember, these instructions are a permanent law that you and your descendants must observe forever. When you enter the land the Lord has promised to give you, you will continue to observe this ceremony. Then your children will ask, ‘What does this ceremony mean?’ And you will reply, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord, for he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt. And though he struck the Egyptians, he spared our families.’ When Moses had finished speaking, all the people bowed down to the ground and worshiped. So the people of Israel did just as the Lord had commanded through Moses and Aaron. And that night at midnight, the Lord struck down all the firstborn sons in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn son of the prisoner in the dungeon. Even the firstborn of their livestock were killed. Pharaoh and all his officials and all the people of Egypt woke up during the night, and loud wailing was heard throughout the land of Egypt. There was not a single house where someone had not died. Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron during the night. “Get out!” he ordered. “Leave my people and take the rest of the Israelites with you! Go and worship the Lord as you have requested. Take your flocks and herds, as you said, and be gone. Go, but bless me as you leave.”
