Divine Instruction and Household Migration

The Hebron Concept Today’s Focus: Advancing to Hebron Part 2: Divine Instruction and Household Migration Scripture: 2 Samuel 2:1-3; 2 Samuel 5:1 Greetings Sons of God: 2 Samuel 2:1-3: And it came to pass after this that David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron. So David went up thither and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal’s wife the Carmelite. And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron. After the death of Saul, David asked the Lord if he could go up to any of the cities of Judah. Remember David was of the tribe of Judah. Now there is a divine principle being shown here and it is the fact that you cannot advance to Hebron without divine instruction. Before the children of Israel would go anywhere or advance anywhere they had to have divine instruction from the Lord and be lead by Him and His set-man over the nation. For example, Moses was the set-man over Israel to lead them. The Lord would speak His directions, commandments and statutes through Moses and under those commands the children of Israel were to follow. They were lead by a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night out of Egypt, but their direction for leaving was under divine instruction. So many times people move without divine instruction and end up in the wrong place doing the wrong thing, thinking that it is right. When we follow divine instruction we are guaranteed success and grace from God. It is when we move without instruction, that the grace of God does not move with us and then when we do something we think it is God but it really is not. David is said to be a man after God’s own heart and if we are to desire to be that way then we must do the same and that requires us to be submitted to the Spirit and obey His instruction and directives. The next principle is you cannot go to Hebron alone, you must bring your entire household. David in vs 3 is said to have brought his entire household to Hebron. You cannot leave anyone behind. Before David was anointed king over Israel all of the tribes of Israel had to cone to Hebron. That means everyone because at Hebron the house of Israel is joined together as one corporate man. 2 Samuel 5:1: Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake saying Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. Remember, at Hebron there is joining or consolidation of alliances. But everyone, the heads of households, the heads of clans and the heads of the tribes must bring everyone of their household to Hebron to be joined as one-corporate man. In the next message we will look at two things that happen when you arrive at Hebron. Peace, Love and Grace from the Father, Calvin Calhoun, Jr.
