Number chapter 3 1

Numbers 3 1: "avenge Israel on the Midianites, and then you will return to your people." Moses said to the people, "Send armed men out against Midian to avenge the Lord on Midian. ..... Moses sent a thousand men from every tribe to the war, and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest went with him. Phinehas was holding the vessels of the sanctuary and a trumpet in his hand. So they fought against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses, and killed all the males. Among the slain, they killed five kings of Midian, namely Evie, Rekim, Sur, Hur and Reba, and killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword. ..... Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had returned from the war, "This is the law that the LORD commanded Moses. ... everyone who sees the fire will be cleaned by the fire, but will be cleaned by purified water. You should let anyone who can't see the fire cross the water. ? (No.3 1:2-3, 6-8, 2 1, 23 and joint edition)

1. When God works through language, the devil works through physical thoughts. The devil makes our body thoughts and God's word enemies, makes us disbelieve and hostile to God's word, and prevents us from following words and beliefs. Let's follow the idea of the body, become slaves of the body, live a life that belongs to the body and is considerate of the body, and finally follow the idea of the body to destroy our souls. Rom 8:7 For he who is considerate of the flesh is the enemy of God, because he does not keep the law of God.

2. The Midianites who oppress Israel are the lusts and thoughts of our flesh, because the flesh has been sold to sin and become the enemy of God. Therefore, God wants us to follow a servant like Phinehas, get up and blow the horn of the gospel, take up the weapons of God's promises and words, fight against the thoughts of the enemy devil, and kill all kinds of standards, concepts and thoughts put in us by the devil. Put our standards, ideas and thoughts in the flesh, put them in front of God's word, judge them through words, and crucify them, so that we can get rid of the rule of the flesh, follow the guidance of God's word, embark on the road of serving the gospel, live for the gospel and get the promised blessing from God.
