June 27th

Son, I want you to read "Numbers 19."

But Father, I just opened the bible up to this page on accident.

Son, do you think this was an accident?

Oh, I see where you're going with this. Ok, Father I will read it.

Son, remember that it doesn't matter what you read in My Word. I will speak to you through any part of it......


Ok, Father; I have read it and now I want to read some Psalms and then some proverbs.....

I want you to read Numbers 20.

Why, Father?

Because it is important for you to understand that what I am going to tell you is going to be about both Numbers 19 and 20.

Ok, Father....

Father, I have read them both.

Son, now if you will recall what was written there, I spoke about the ritual of the law which I had commanded.

Yes, Father I remember reading this.

Son, tell me; have you enjoyed hearing what I am speaking with you about?

Father, I believe I should say "yes."

(laughing) Son, I realize that there are some things that may not (at first) seem that interesting that I speak to you about because not everything I say may seem as though I am addressing your life. This is not true because everything I speak to you about involves you because you are life and I am speaking to you about My creation; My life. Always remember that I have a point when I am speaking to you about something and that it is important to allow me to finish what I want to speak to you about before you ask me questions. Do I not know your questions before you ask them? Of course I do but I still want to be able to reason with you about a specific question you may have. Now, does this make sense to you?

Father, it's as if you knew exactly what was on my mind....

(laughing) well, son; that is what Fathers do. They can sense how their sons are feeing and what their sons are thinking. Son, do you know why I wrote about such details in Numbers 19?

I'm not sure I do, Father...

Son, it is important to know that the law was not able to be filled by men (or women). That is why Jesus came to destroy the law. The law was not necessary after My Son shed His blood for all mankind. Numbers 20 shows that Moses could fulfill a simple request I made to Him to take a rod and assemble the congregation and "tell the rock before their eyes to give forth its water." Moses did not listen to Me and chose to smote the rock twice with the rod I gave to Him. Son, because Moses was disobedient to a specific and direct command I gave to Him, there was a consequence to his choice. Do you understand what I am saying to you?

Yes, Father I do. But what about the other times in the old testament where people were disobedient? You didn't do the same thing to them?

Son, there are always consequences for people's actions. Do you know what happens to a bee if the flowers which produce the pollen for the bee to take are cut down with a lawnmower?

They have to go somewhere else then, Father.

Son, you are right. But you know this. However there are some things that happen in the spiritual realm that they natural eyes do not see and the natural ears do not hear. These things are not necessary to understand (for now) but it is important to know that there are consequences to every action a person does. Do you understand this, son?

I think so, Father.

Son, Moses heard Me directly tell Him to do something. It was My desire that the people he was to assemble have their faith increase by seeing water come out of the rock by simply saying to the rock to "give forth its water." But Moses did not do this and because He disobeyed a direct command, their were consequences. Now, My Son Jesus freed people of their sins but there is something else I want you to understand about this.

What is it, Father?

When you drink from a fountain, you know water is going to come up. When they drank from this rock I spoke of that Moses smote with the rock, they had no idea this rock would produce any water. They had no idea that this rock was water that would give them life. I am the rock and noone can drink from Me unless they proclaim the name of Jesus and in their heartbeat the name of Jesus can be heard.
Huh? Father, how can the name Jesus be heard in a person's heartbeat?

(laughing) Son, as I said to you before there are things that happen that the natural ears do not hear. ....

Father, I love you.

Son, you are greatly loved by Me.
