Destiny part 4 The battle continues

Part Five - Destiny part 4

The battle continues
Last week we saw how the battle over your destiny is intense and requires constant vigilance and faith in order to keep your destiny flowing in the will of God
After the battle over Rebecca Isaacs wife the line was somewhat obscured again, Jacob Isaacs son grows to be a man and soon has a clan of about seventy people under him.
Now; God in his foresight allows Joseph to be sold as a slave and carried away to Egypt. Satan's only option is to wipe out the entire clan; he causes a great famine across the land. Jacobs's clan is at the point of annihilation through famine.
Now Joseph who was sold into slavery becomes prime minister of Egypt, we know the story, Jacob with his entire clan comes down to Egypt and Satan is defeated again.
The next crisis comes in the time of Moses; Satan in his desperation has Pharaoh to make a decree that all male babies are to be murdered. This would affectively cause Israel to disappear from the earth within 2 generations Moses is saved and comes to power Egypt; his real destiny is now emerging. Moses leads the children of Israel out of Egypt.
You always reap what you sow; all the firstborn of the Egyptians throughout the land of Egypt died.
We need to keep short accounts with God, or we will reap what we sow. A constant attitude of repentance, keeping our hands clean is very important to abort reaping evil consequences in our lives. In the Sanskrit language they have a word for this, "Karma" which literally means "Come back". What we sow will come back to haunt us or bless us, the choice is ours.
Over two million people left Egypt where now, was that righteous line flowing?.
Many years later God again reveals where the line is.

Genesis 49:10

The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

In this scripture God reveals where the righteous line is, from now on it will run through the tribe of Judah and more specifically though the Royal Line of the Kings of Judah.
From now on the Kings of Judah would become an endangered species. Over and over again they were killed off, or became corrupt, thus disqualifying themselves, and so the battle raged.
The crises came in 2 Chronicles 22

2 Chronicles 22:10

But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.

Satan inspired an evil woman to destroy all the royal seed of the house of Judah.
This was a major crises in the purposes of God to crush the head of Satan, as decreed in the Garden of Eden.
However; I heard my daughter in law say to her children the other day "I don?t want to hear any oops today" children are so accident prone, well God has his however's.
God was one step ahead of Satan.

2 Chronicles 22:11	But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
12	And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.

Satan's attempt to kill all the Royal seed was thwarted
The whole fulfillment of the prophetic word pronounced in Eden hung in the balance on one tiny child. This child was hid for six years. He would become King.
It is very important that we have a disciplined prayer life, praying in the spirit much, the Holy Spirit then can take these inspired utterances to keep ahead of the enemies plans to abort God's purposes in our lives.
We don't have the space to trace this continuing battle through the scriptures. The book of Esther describes another National crisis.
Finally, a young girl is visited by the Angel Gabriel, Mary gives birth to the promised seed, and they call his name Jesus.
Herod makes a decree, all male children under a certain age are to be killed. This was Satan's last desperate attempt to stop the fulfillment of the word spoken against him in Eden.
Finally Jesus dies on the cross and cries IT IS FINNISHED! With this, redemption sprang forth as an everlasting gift to mankind.
The seed of the woman crushed the head of the serpent.
Your destiny is important, it was given to you before the world was made, and plays an integral part in the plan and purposes of God for this planet.
There is another seed coming forth in the earth. This seed is critical to the final defeat of Satan and the ushering in of the literal Kingdom of God in this earth.

Revelation 12:2	And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3	And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4	And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5	And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

The fact that you are alive in this day 2004, is significant. You could have been born in the dark ages, but God saw fit to send you to this earth for the final consummation of the ages. You have a part to play; it is very important that you feel, and understand your mission in this hour.
Satan will try to disqualify you, hinder you, and discourage you.
Don't give up; God will change the rules if necessary in order to get you through. God's grace is able to get you through.
Keep a right spirit; hold no un-forgiveness in your heart. Seek, knock, and ask, pray. God hears, and although God has no favorites, there are those who find favor with God and secure His grace to carry them through.
God Bless you
