Overcoming the Spirit of Amalek

Journey of the Sons of God to the Promised Land Today’s Focus: Spirit of Amalek – Overcoming Amalek Scripture: Numbers 1:2,3 Greetings Sons of God: The spirit of Amalek comes in constant opposition to Spiritual Israel, the House of God. It seeks to try to stop you from coming into the knowledge of your inheritance as a son of God. Remember Amalek’s grandfather Esau, saw his birthright as insignificant and sold it for earthly gratification and provision. When the sons of God do not realize their spiritual inheritance they will not see the significance of their inheritance and will settle for earthly provision and gratification instead coming into the understanding that they are a son of their Father’s House and everything that the Father has, belongs to the son. Now we saw in our previous message that Amalek was a coward nation that attacks the weak and feeble of Israel after coming out of Egypt. So how does God remedy this problem from this happening again. This is what He does, He numbers them! Numbers 1:2,3: Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls; From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies. Remember God brought them out of Egypt and they traveled in one big mass of people and understandably the weak and feeble would trail in the back but it would make them susceptible to enemy attack by the Amalekites. So what God does He arranges the children of Israel into their 12 tribes. Now we know that this arrangement according to Numbers 1:2 is by the households of their fathers. By arranging the children of Israel into households and subsequently into their tribes would allow them to advance and as long as they obeyed God they would overcome every enemy. It would be in this arrangement of Spiritual Israel as households and subsequently the 12 tribes (James 1:1) that the Kingdom of God would advance and if the sons of God would obey the voice of the Lord, they will overcome every attack of the enemy. But let me take this a step further, in this arrangement of households the weak and feeble will be protected because the strong will bear the infirmities of the weak. They will be truly their brother’s keeper and care for those who may be spiritual immature and vulnerable. So in the proper arrangement and obedience of the sons, Amalek will be defeated and the Kingdom will advance. In the subsequent messages you will see the crucial importance of the arrangement of the House of God in the advancement of the Kingdom. In the next message we will look at the spirit of Midian.
