Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud. God’s people learned that following the cloud meant waiting for God’s timing, preparing their hearts, and listening for His voice. Like Israel at Sinai, spiritual progress begins with lessons in obedience, unity, leadership, and dedication. When the cloud lifts, it’s time to move forward by trusting, embracing change, and walking faithfully, always ready to respond to God’s call for the next season.

Introduction and Scriptural Foundation
I would like to begin tonight by sharing from 1 Corinthians, chapter 10. Today, I felt a strong impression to read this passage, and as the day unfolded, that feeling grew even stronger. I believe God is speaking, and I sense it is essential for all of us to take notice: the cloud is about to lift, and our nation is poised to move forward, just as Israel did at Sinai after spending more than a year there.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
The Challenge to Move Forward
Let’s ask ourselves: How long have we each been in our current spiritual place? Not just our physical location, but the place we stand right now in the Spirit, keeping the Lord’s charge. Is it time to move? Are we ready to see the cloud rise and to hear the trumpet as Moses calls the people to go? That’s the challenge before us tonight.
Lessons from 1 Corinthians 10
As we examine First Corinthians chapter 10, I urge us to take its message to heart truly. These verses serve as examples and warnings for us, showing what God wants to teach His people. Let’s listen carefully and let these words guide us in the days ahead.
1 Corinthians 10:1-12
1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
Paul makes it clear that he doesn’t want us to be ignorant. He wants us to have understanding, because a lack of knowledge destroys God’s people. It’s essential to know the truth, not just rely on what we’ve heard. I recently discussed how filling in the blanks in scripture challenges us to truly know what is written. Often, the King James Version is what people remember; however, the point is that we need to read and thoroughly understand God’s Word.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Paul says that all our spiritual ancestors were under the cloud and passed through the sea. They were baptized in both the cloud and the sea—two different baptisms: one of the Spirit, one of water. Most of us have been baptized in the Spirit and in water as well. They also all shared the same spiritual food and drink, symbolizing communion with Christ.
Yet, God was not pleased with many of them, even though they were His people. Paul’s warning is that just because we have outward signs—being baptized in the Holy Spirit, being water baptized, speaking in tongues, or sharing in communion—does not necessarily mean God is pleased with us.
I want to be clear: my intent is never to preach condemnation. Romans 8:1 says there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. My only goal is to share the truth of God’s Word. Just because we pray the sinner’s prayer, get baptized, take communion, or attend church does not mean we automatically please God. What matters is the condition of our heart and living in a way that truly honors Him.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Before we continue, I would like you to examine these words in your own Bible. I am not here to preach down to anyone. That is something I have always struggled with in ministry, despite my efforts to live a righteous life. Sometimes people feel I preach down to them, but that is never my intention. If I have come across that way, I apologize. My only desire is for you to understand what pleases God and what does not. I want you to know how to be holy, to experience God’s pleasure, and also to understand what brings His displeasure.
Please never think that I want to put you down. My heart desires to live a blameless life and set a good example. I want you to know that Paul makes it clear: just having communion, water baptism, and spirit baptism, or simply being part of the assembly, did not mean that God was pleased with everyone in the wilderness.
Many of them were not pleasing to God, and their bodies fell in the wilderness. Verse 6 explains that these events happened as examples for us, so that we would not lust after evil things. The message is that these stories are for our instruction. The people of Israel died in the wilderness because of their desires, murmuring, rebellion, idolatry, and immorality. According to verse 10, these things happened as examples for us.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Paul warns that God’s people should not become idolaters. He says that even God’s own people can fall into idolatry, as some did when they sat down to eat and drink and then got up to play. Verse 8 tells us not to commit fornication, reminding us that God’s people are not immune and can fall, as 23,000 did in a single day. Verse 9 warns not to tempt Christ, because serpents destroyed those who did. This shows that even God’s people must guard their hearts and choices.
1 Corinthians 10:10-12
10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
In verse 10, Paul warns us not to murmur as some of them did. Even God’s people can fall into complaining. When we murmur, we bring destruction upon ourselves, not upon those we complain about. The destroyer destroyed those who murmured. This indicates that murmuring is a serious and potentially dangerous issue for us as believers.
Verse 11 reminds us that all these things happened as examples and are written down to warn us. Paul urges us to learn from these stories so we do not repeat their mistakes. He encourages us to study the book of Numbers to understand what happened to God’s people at that time. The lessons are not just history; they are meant to teach and guide us today. What happened to the Israelites can happen to us if we are not careful.
Verse 12 gives a strong warning: anyone who thinks they are standing strong should be careful not to fall. This message is included in your notes, and I planned to share it in detail soon, but it is so vital that we consider it now.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
The Importance of the Book of Numbers
Some may ask why we are studying the book of Numbers. It is because every issue Paul brings up in 1 Corinthians chapter 10 is rooted in Numbers. Paul tells us not to let these things happen in our lives, but to learn from them so we can reach the end without falling short.
Now, we move to page 184 of your notes, where we look at Numbers chapter 10, specifically at the cloud’s movement. Before we dive in, let’s recap how the Israelites reached the point where God was ready to move them forward. We must understand what they did to satisfy God so that He could take them to the next step. In our own lives—both as a church and as individuals—we need to learn the lessons from this story. We must be prepared for the next stage that God has in store for us.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Numbers 10:11
And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.
Numbers 10:11-12
11 In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud lifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony,
12 and the people of Israel set out by stages from the wilderness of Sinai.
The Meaning of ‘It Came to Pass’
Let’s take a moment to talk about the phrase, “and it came to pass.” This phrase is used often in the Bible—456 times in the King James Version. It represents a process of time coming to an end and a new time beginning. The first instance of it is found in Genesis 4:3, where it states, “in the process of time, it came to pass.” This means that after a specific period, something happened that marked a change from one season to another.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
We have studied this topic in depth before, and you can review it in your notes on pages 140 and 142. Over and over, God indicates a transition by saying, “it came to pass.” Each time, one period ended and another began. Throughout history, God marks changes and new beginnings with this phrase.
What does this mean for us? It reminds us that we all go through “it came to pass” moments in our lives. There was a day when you met Jesus Christ and made the decision that He would truly be Lord of your life. It was not just words, but a real commitment. The Bible says when you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that He is Lord, you are saved. That was an “it came to pass” moment—when He became Lord for you.
Other events in your life are also “it came to pass” moments: being placed here by God, receiving your ministry, meeting important people, and experiencing specific changes. However, there may not be as many of those moments now as there once were, both for you and for me.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
I mentioned in our previous study that, as life progresses, some of us will face challenging changes. That thought may not be pleasant, but it is a reality. Still, everything has its season—there is always another “it came to pass.”
And what we have to realize is that somewhere along the way, we came to understand that we must fulfill God’s will for our lives. Because on that day, many will say, Lord, Lord, but I will say unto them, I don’t know you. Why? Why? You didn’t do the will of the Father. Somewhere in your “it came to pass,” there has to be a time when you fulfill the will of God. It came to pass.
So, when you read ‘it came to pass,’ understand that we have progressed to a new point in time, and God is now ready to take us to something else. So now it came to pass. And this is the 20th day on the second month in the second year. It’s time to move. Notice how specific God is in his time to move. He doesn’t move at a whim, at a breeze. The Lord moves at a particular time. He moves on a specific day. It was the second month in the second year. It was the 20th day.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
In your life, and in mine, do you believe that God has numbered our days? Are they written in a book? Yeah. And there’s a time in your life when God is so specific that it comes to pass. When he’s ready to take you to the next level. And until that day comes, you won’t move. It’s not until you have achieved what you need to that you can proceed.
Preparation Before Moving Forward
Until that day came, and they had gathered all the necessary information to leave Sinai, they could not proceed. Until that tabernacle was completed, until they learned about the trumpets, until they learned about the cloud, until they learned about Passover, and until they acquired all the truths they learned that year at Sinai, that day never came. And struggle as we may, we must learn specific things before we can move forward in God. Do you agree with that? Are we quiet just because we’re sitting in a different place, or is this that difficult? It’s not that difficult. We all know that it came to pass.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Now, they stayed at Sinai for over a year. What did they accomplish? What did they learn? We’ve got to understand this. We’ve got to grasp this. Because until we do, we can’t move either. There are principles to grasp, understand, and grasp. And I’ve got 16 major principles that we’ve learned here in 184 pages. 16 major principles. There are many more principles than that, but there are 16 major principles in total. Before we can ever leave that place of Sinai, we’ll never leave.
Sixteen Principles Learned at Sinai
There are sixteen essential principles that I would like us to review today. These must become part of us. We can study the book of Numbers and discuss the wilderness of prayer, but until these truths are within us, we will not truly be able to move beyond Sinai.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Let’s go back and remember: What month did the people come to Sinai after the Exodus? It was the third month, as stated in Exodus 19:1. Now, what major feast happens in the third month? Passover is in the first month, but Pentecost is in the third month. Sinai, then, represents a type of Pentecost.
Many of us have experienced Pentecost in our lives, having received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The most significant thing that happened at Sinai was the building of the tabernacle for God to dwell in. You, too, are a temple—a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit.
Before we move forward from Sinai, God wants to work these things into our lives. While we are here, we should seek to be filled with God’s presence and become a living tabernacle for Him. One of the main lessons from Sinai is that God wants to fill us and dwell within us.
Principle 1: God Speaks
The first lesson the Israelites learned at Sinai was that God speaks. In the book of Numbers, it says many times that God spoke to Moses. The people realized that God really does talk to their leaders and even to them personally. This was a significant lesson. We must recognize that God still speaks to us today, guiding and loving us as a shepherd and friend.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Principle 2: God Knows Us Individually
The second lesson was that God numbers us individually. In Numbers 1:2, God instructs them to count the people, starting from the tribes and proceeding down to each individual. This shows that everyone is important and known by God. Each of us has our own place. We cannot hide anything from Him. He knows us personally, including where we are and what we are doing. We must understand this before moving on.
Principle 3: The Value of Leadership
The third lesson is about establishing leadership. God instructed them to choose leaders who would stand with Moses and the people. Good leadership was necessary before leaving Sinai. The people were called to recognize and stand together with those appointed to lead. This step was crucial for the journey ahead.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
I would like to briefly mention that, although not this week, next week I will review the results of the Ministry Assessment Program conducted by Christian International with Chuck Clayton. I will share the questions and answers with you. A very encouraging outcome was that all the leadership received the highest possible marks—there were no negative comments at all. I was surprised because with all the changes, I expected something different. But the feedback showed that our church is very excited and encouraged by our current leadership. That’s fantastic news and brings me a lot of encouragement.
As we navigate these sixteen key principles, remember that we must truly learn and embody them before we can move forward. The cloud of God’s presence will not move until we have these things deep within us.
Principle 4: Servant Responsibility (Levites)
Moving on to number four, God set apart the Levites as servants for the tabernacle. This means some people in our congregation will need to take on responsibilities related to serving. They will set things up, take things down, and oversee the details of our worship.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
This principle is vital for the health and order of our church. In Acts 6, it is said to choose seven men full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom to handle the practical business of the church. The key is having reliable people willing to serve as Levites—servants of the tabernacle. While we may not be fully there yet, I believe we are moving in that direction, and it is starting to take root among us.
From now on, we will not select leaders based on physical or financial qualities, or simply because of specific impressive attributes. The deciding factor must always be whether someone is willing to do the work—someone dependable and ready to serve. It does not matter how talented or knowledgeable someone is if they cannot deliver the job. Authentic leadership is about being a servant, just like the Levites who said, “We will do it!”
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Principle 5: Different Perspectives in the Body
The following principle is that each tribe had a different perspective or view of the tabernacle, based on their assigned position. This is found in Numbers 1:52 and discussed in your notes. Just because others don’t share our theological perspective does not mean they are not part of God’s family. For instance, Baptists may not view things in the same way as Pentecostals, and vice versa, but these differences are part of God’s design.
God is the one who determined where each tribe would stand and how each group would see things. We did not choose these positions or perspectives ourselves; God arranged it all. Even if we find it frustrating that others can’t see what we see—and they may feel the same about us—it’s not a reason for division. When it comes time to act, whether marching, fighting, or giving, all tribes are called upon to participate together, despite their differing views. That is the principle we need to understand and apply.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Let’s bring this closer to home. Sometimes, I stand here on Sunday mornings, pouring my heart out and hoping to help. I wonder why others can’t see what I see or do what I think is better. I might have experience and think I know how to solve things, but others see it from a different place. Maybe I’m in the “ideal,” while you’re dealing with the “ordeal.” Our perspectives are different.
But should those differences divide us? No. God calls us to reason together and love each other, even when we do not entirely agree. Before we can move forward, we must acknowledge that we may see things differently, but we remain brothers and sisters in Christ. That is a powerful truth—we are in this together, and love and unity matter more than identical opinions.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Principle 6: Following Imperfect Leaders
Another critical principle is learning to follow imperfect leaders. Moses is a great example. When we examine the record in Numbers, the generations of Aaron are listed, but not those of Moses, despite his having sons. We see that Moses dealt with family issues and challenges in his marriage. His first wife, Zephorah, was difficult, and later, Moses married an Ethiopian woman, which caused trouble in the family. Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of this new marriage.
This teaches us that leaders are not perfect—they have struggles and flaws too. Yet, God still chooses to work through them. The people had to learn to follow Moses, despite his imperfections. That is a lesson we must learn as well.
I sometimes use a modern example to make the point: if Judy and I divorced and I remarried a Black woman, some people might complain or judge, just as people did in Moses’ time. In that story, some murmured, and God punished them with leprosy. Still, the people had to learn to follow Moses, even though he wasn’t perfect. Moses led a whole nation, but struggled in his family life. The lesson is that God chose Moses as the leader, flaws and all. We need to recognize and respect God’s appointed leadership, despite imperfections. There is much to learn from this, as we have studied in detail in our notes.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Principle 7: Spiritual Responsibility in Families
The next lesson focuses on spiritual responsibility within families. We see this in the story of Nadab and Abihu, who were consumed by fire for bringing “strange fire” before God. The truth was that their father, Aaron, was supposed to bring the fire himself, but he allowed his sons to do it instead. The lesson here is essential: if parents do not fulfill their spiritual duties, it’s the children who can suffer for it.
I speak from many years of experience in ministry and studying scripture. I am not sharing these things to look down on anyone, but out of concern and a desire to help. If parents neglect their spiritual responsibilities—if they do not bring their own “fire” to the altar—their children may end up being harmed spiritually. This principle is a profound truth, rooted in scripture and practical experience.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Principle 8: Obedience is Required
Number eight is a key lesson: the Lord does not just suggest—He commands. Sometimes people hear teaching from the Word and think they can choose whether or not to accept it. But God does not ask if we want to obey. He does not offer a spiritual buffet where we can pick and choose what we like. The Lord commanded His people to keep the Passover, and there were consequences for ignoring His words.
Scripture says, “Be not deceived: God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man sows, that will he also reap.” God’s commands are not optional. If we obey, we are blessed; if we do not, there are consequences. I do not say this to be arrogant, but because the truth of God’s Word stands forever. My role is not to command anyone—this is God’s Word, and He is the one giving the orders.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Principle 9: Handling Negativity and Leprosy
Number nine is about leprosy. The Israelites learned that leprosy was so contagious that people had to be put outside the camp. Even small, invisible particles spread it, just from speaking. Leprosy caused terrible damage, and those infected had to be separated for the health of the whole community.
This is a picture for us today. In a spiritual sense, negativity and harmful words are just as contagious. When people start spreading negativity or bitterness, it can “eat away” at others, just like leprosy. God commanded that leprosy be dealt with strictly because it would spread and harm the whole camp. Spiritually, God wants a holy and healthy community, so He removes what is destructive before it can spread further. This is not easy to talk about, but it is the truth.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Chuck Clayton visited and worked on the map with us. We sat together with the elders, discussing everything in detail at my home from Saturday evening until late at night. Chuck joined Judy and me that afternoon, and his insights were valuable. The atmosphere was positive and encouraging; it felt great to see so much love and support for our place and people. Chuck shared his recommendations, and when an apostle speaks, it really makes us pay attention. We listened eagerly and reached an agreement quickly.
My faith was strong, and I felt uplifted after that meeting. I spent time praying, filled with hope and energy. However, a single phone call later changed everything. That call drained my faith, reminding me how easily our moods can shift based on who we talk to. It’s easy to go from feeling on top of the world to feeling low just by having the wrong conversation at the wrong time.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
This experience taught me something important. It helped me realize that, over all these years of ministry, we haven’t honestly dealt with some core issues. There are things we haven’t addressed or understood, especially with people who left our fellowship. It’s as if we haven’t let go or moved on—those losses have stayed with us, unresolved.
Sometimes we avoid difficult conversations because they hurt. For example, when family members leave, we may not want to discuss it, thinking we’re protecting each other. I now recognize that I have focused too much on my own feelings and haven’t fully considered how others might be hurting as well. It’s time to address these issues openly, even if it’s difficult, so that healing can begin.
Principle 10: Addressing Sin and Adultery
There are ways to handle sin and adultery, and God Himself sometimes provides tests for these situations. The process isn’t mysterious; there is a specific way God wants people to address such issues. For example, God has a way to deal with adultery, and it involves following steps that bring the issue before Him.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
People learned that some problems seem untouchable, but they are actually manageable when appropriately handled. The conclusion is to bring these matters to the priest, who then takes them to the altar and before the Lord. It’s not about talking about it with everyone or spreading gossip or complaints; instead, it’s about discreetly presenting it to those who will intercede before God.
Principle 11: Separation unto God (Nazarite Vow)
They also learned about the Nazarite vow, which allows anyone to separate themselves from worldly things and dedicate themselves to God whenever they choose. This separation does not require a supernatural event or spiritual excitement; it is simply a personal decision to get closer to God. Each person decides when to make the vow, how long it will last, and how they will offer themselves. It’s a choice made from the heart, and anyone can make that choice at any time.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Principle 12: What Ends the Nazarite Vow
Three things can end the Nazarite vow. The first is what a person eats; it is crucial to consume the Word of God and maintain close communion with Him. Taking in anything else can weaken commitment and disrupt the vow.
The second is the matter of hair. Letting your hair grow outwardly shows that something inside has changed. When people are truly changed, others can see it. Living differently becomes a public display. If the transformation does not show in everyday life, both at home and outside, the vow loses its meaning.
The third is touching dead bodies or, symbolically, getting involved with sin or those who continue to sin. Being around sinful behavior makes it hard to stay close to God. If this happens, the person must start over and renew their commitment.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
It is essential to learn these lessons before moving on spiritually. Eating God’s Word and living out that change every day are necessary for moving forward. Without them, progress stops, and spiritual growth cannot continue.
Principle 13: Full Dedication—The Completed Tabernacle
They set up the tabernacle completely, just as God instructed in Exodus. God provided specific patterns that had to be followed, and when they completed building everything, His glory descended on it. In Numbers, it says Moses fully set up the tabernacle. There is a difference between starting to use a space and having everything truly ready and dedicated.
In the same way, God wants to dwell in people even if they are not entirely complete. It is comforting to know that full perfection is not required for God to be present. But there eventually comes a point when everything in life is dedicated and anointed for God—every part set aside and made holy.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
When a person reaches that level of dedication, they are ready for what God has next. There is a desire to move forward and not remain stuck. This is not about being perfect, but about being so dedicated to God that moving forward becomes a natural next step.
Principle 14: The Purpose of Giving
They learned there are two main reasons for giving. The first is to provide a place for God to dwell. This is not just about a physical building, but about creating a spiritual home in people’s hearts. The second reason is to provide a place to minister—to serve God and to serve others. Giving should not be done out of compulsion or just out of obligation. Instead, it stems from understanding these two purposes: creating a space for God’s presence and for ministry to both God and people.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
Principle 15: Keeping Passover (Remembrance)
They also recognized the importance of keeping the Passover. This practice is about remembering the past, specifically how God delivered them from Egypt. Similarly, taking communion is a way to remember Jesus’ sacrifice. This act of remembrance is necessary. It helps people stay connected to their spiritual roots and God’s work.
Principle 16: Following the Cloud and Hearing the Trumpet
They learned the importance of the cloud’s movement and when it stayed still. This was a new revelation. The cloud, representing God’s presence, does not always move. It often stays in one place for a while. This means they do not have to expect a dramatic move from God all the time. Many times, it is enough simply to do what God says and be faithful. Most Sundays, nothing special happens—yet that is normal. What matters is being consistent and obedient, even when things seem quiet. When the cloud does move, it’s time for everyone to follow and pursue it, but patience is needed when it doesn’t.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
They also learned to listen for the trumpets. In Scripture, the trumpet is often depicted as a voice, sometimes even the voice of God, or in some cases, the voice of Jesus. The trumpet sounded for two purposes: to assemble together and to signal movement. When the trumpet sounded, people were to gather or move forward. The message from Chuck Clayton was like a trumpet signaling movement, urging them to move ahead and not look back. The teaching emphasized the importance of gathering as a community and being prepared to move when God calls.
Readiness to Move Forward
I believe that soon, we will hear the call to move forward. It feels like God is signaling us, just like a trumpet, that it is time for a change. As I look over the 16 principles we have studied—taken mainly from the first ten chapters of Numbers—I see that these truths are woven into our congregation’s heart and spirit. This gives me confidence that we are ready for what comes next.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
There has been growth and maturity within our church. We have gained a deeper understanding and uncovered new revelations. Because of this, I believe we are ready to move forward as a church. It is exciting to feel prepared for God’s next step. These core truths are essential both for each person and the whole congregation before we can enter into God’s promises.
It is vital to grasp and understand these principles, both individually and together. Without them, we cannot make spiritual progress. However, as I reflect on our church, I feel we are now ready. It seems like it is time to move with God’s leading, pack up, and go to the next place He has for us. Do you agree? Let’s be ready and willing for what God has planned.
A Call to Self-Examination and Action
As we finish tonight, I want you to reflect on your own heart. Ask yourself if you feel or hear a call to move forward into something new. It’s not just about wanting to go on; it’s about sensing that now is the right time and hearing the trumpet call to a new place. I feel that call, and if you do not yet, I believe you will as we move forward.
Book Of Numbers 10:11: How to Follow the Cloud
As we continue, we will examine the body’s message and the map that guides us more closely. There are still some things we need to address and leave behind. It’s essential to let go of the past and move forward with God, pressing toward the higher purpose He has for us.
We pray and submit ourselves to God, asking Him to guide us. We ask Him to work these truths deep into our lives so we are ready for whatever comes next. Lord, we invite you to guide us forward, help us this week, and lead us to a place of more profound dedication.
