MACHINERIES OF SIN (3): REBELLION
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
I Samuel 15:23 (KJV)
Rebellion is demonic. Let us quickly make a scriptural connection to show that rebellion is another form of witchcraft and by the judgement of Yahweh, the witch is not permitted to live. Exodus 22:18 says, “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” Our opening text tells us that rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. That is saying that a rebellious person is a witch and by divine judgement, not permitted to live. That is how deadly rebellion is. It has terminated the lives of precious talented people. In the wilderness, it had the third mortality rate after immorality, and the menace of the god of gold. In Numbers 16:1-3, 28-33, rebellion claimed the life of a whole family. That was how Dathan, Korah, Abiram, and 250 others, and all their families perished! Rebellion destroyed an estimated one thousand people in one day! Friend, rebellion is of the devil, don’t give in to it. Rebellion is a deliberate reaction against order, targeted at leadership at all levels in the Church of the Lord Yahushua. Any church or establishment you find yourself in and you have doubts about the leadership, it is not a place where you can be blessed. So check out of the place, before you’re checked out. Rebellion is risky. Don’t expect to survive if you reject Yahweh’s order. To wish leadership evil is mental disorder, as heaven is a city of order. Leadership is required for human society to survive, whether in the secular world or in the Church.
Rebellion is a costly poison; don’t take it. Peace never reigns in any home where divine order is not accepted. Leadership offers direction; it doesn’t receive direction from the led. That is why leadership must strive at all levels to hear from Yahweh before offering direction to the people. Then anyone who rebels against such direction will pay dearly for it. That was why Dathan, Korah and Abiram died such a strange death. Exodus 22:28 (NET) says, “You must not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.” This is particularly when you know you will be destroying your own position by doing so.
The Church is going to know such terrific promotions that hell will not be able to sit and fold its hands. Hell will, therefore, be seeking for who can be pulled down along with it. That was what happened to Absalom, who set out determinedly to unseat his father, David (see II Samuel 15:1-6). Rebellion is demonic. Do you know that Absalom rejoiced when Ahithophel (David’s former adviser) gave him counsel on how to kill his father? (see 2 Sam. 17:1-4). But the whole of 2 Samuel 15-19 tells of the collapse of a rebel. Absalom was the most loved of David’s sons. Though he was destined for the throne, he lost his destiny to rebellion. Privileged and talented people are the most susceptible to rebellion. Selah!
REMEMBER: Rebellion is another form of witchcraft.
CONFESSION: I have no place for Satan in my life. I refuse to tolerate rebellion in me or around me. I am submitted to the authorities the Lord has placed over me. Halleluyah!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I plead the mercy of Yahweh over you in any way you have function in rebellion over the authorities that He has placed over you in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
