God has been calling my attention to our specific place in the body of Christ. The body has many members with different specific functions.
The analogy that the Lord has brought to my heart is the arrangement of the natural Israel. The nation is divided into TRIBES, FAMILIES and HOUSEHOLD.
We saw it in the case of Achan when he was to be identified. It was represented in another manner when Gideon was called as TRIBE, CLAN and FATHERS' HOUSE.
The Lord says that the measure of time presently calls for every member of the army of the Lord to be able to identify his/her place so as not to break ranks as prophesied by Prophet Joel
Joel 2:7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march EVERY ONE ON HIS WAYS, and they shall not break their ranks:
Joel 2:8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk EVERY ONE IN HIS PATH: and [when] they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
We must walk accurately in this day, using effectively the gifts of the Spirit that are found in each path. This is not the five-fold ministry. It seems different in my heart. A group that I have identified in recent times is WOMEN IN THE TENT.
They are a people (women) with depth, but with a narrow area of influence. The fight within the TENT. Remember the prayer of Deborah for Jael? There are many more.
Every member of the army of the Lord belong to a TRIBE, FAMILY and HOUSEHOLD.
Let's stay with God this season. Spend more time pressing. The cloud is heavy.
