A deep revelation of how blessed we are can chase the lies of the enemy into extinction.

Living in the blessing Lesson # 10 Quiet the Complaint & Murmuring part 2

2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that [pertain] to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption [that is] in the world through lust.

Divine influence and union with Christ be multiplied to you by intimacy with God the Father and Jesus our Lord. We the believer do not lack because His divine power has given all we need. Based on the sweetness of relationship we have exceedingly great and precious promises; surrender to the partaking of the divine nature. If any man be in Christ…

Ephesian 1:3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

God our Father is the Blessed, the One who blesses, and He is the Blessing. By His desire and pleasure He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. Chosen, adopted, and accepted in the Beloved. A deep revelation of how blessed we are can chase the lies of the enemy into extinction.

Hebrews 6:17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed [it] by an oath,

God the Father made a decision to show us, the heirs of promise, the immutability of His counsel. First by His oath and second by sending Jesus as our forerunner, He has called us to anchor our souls into His hope. The enemy cannot curse what God has blessed; satan had found if he can bring you into complaint you can be shaken from your soul’s anchor.

Numbers 14:1 So all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night. 2 And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, "If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness! 3 "Why has the LORD brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?"

Last lesson we looked at several times the congregation of Israel complained. However, this is the gully washer of all complaint. This is the final complaint that set them free from God’s intended blessing. Consider they had received the command to enter into the promised land and compliant lead to disavow what God had promised. See how the complaint changed the perspective… “If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Complaint leads you to speak of death and blind you to the promise. Compliant causes you to live with the victim mentality! Complaint will put words in your mouth and actions of your soul going backwards, to the defeat and heartaches of the past.

Numbers 14:4 So they said to one another, "Let us select a leader and return to Egypt." 5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. 6 But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [who were] among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; 7 and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: "The land we passed through to spy out [is] an exceedingly good land.

God gave a command to go into the promised land. Twelve men went in to spy out the land and ten out of twelve had an evil report. We can’t do it, we are grasshoppers compared to the giants in the land. But two, Joshua and Caleb, declared the word of God.

Numbers 14:8 "If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, 'a land which flows with milk and honey.' 9 "Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they [are] our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD [is] with us. Do not fear them." 10 And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Now the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the children of Israel.

Two of the twelve tried pointing the children of Israel to their great relationship with their God. The spirit of complaint rejects the truth. It causes the word of God to be of no affect in the complainer’s life. If we walk in the wrong mindset we can be in a place unable to hear God, see God, or experience His presence. It is not that God is not there, or his word has not been spoken, or that His presence has left. The complaint has muddied the heart’s receptors and the complainer is blind to the truth. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. The spirit of complaint can make you hostile to the word that could make you partake of the blessing promised.

Numbers 14:26 And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 27 "How long [shall I bear with] this evil congregation who complain against Me? I have heard the complaints which the children of Israel make against Me. 28 "Say to them, 'As I live,' says the LORD, 'just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you: 29 'The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above. 30 'Except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I swore I would make you dwell in.

The complaining had consequences; the spirit of complaint had removed them for believing the good word of God! The carcasses of the complainers would fall in the wilderness and completely miss the will of God for their life. The two men speaking life would go into the promise land with the next generation of Israel.

Numbers 14:31 'But your little ones, whom you said would be victims, I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you have despised. 32 'But [as for] you, your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness. 33 'And your sons shall be shepherds in the wilderness forty years, and bear the brunt of your infidelity, until your carcasses are consumed in the wilderness. 34 'According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, for each day you shall bear your guilt one year, [namely] forty years, and you shall know My rejection.

The complaint declared the children will be victims; the word of God says the children shall be victors. What stands between being a victim or victor is a spirit of complaint.

Numbers 14:35 'I the LORD have spoken this. I will surely do so to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.' " 36 Now the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made all the congregation complain against him by bringing a bad report of the land, 37 those very men who brought the evil report about the land, died by the plague before the LORD.

The complaining was an accusation against Moses and ultimately a complaint against God; the children of Israel were literally consumed by their own complaint. The complaint stirs unbelief; the unbelief contaminates faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Complaint is a mindset that needs destroyed. Some are so deceived by the spirit of complaint they cannot imagine life without it. The spirit of complaint robs the complainer of living in the blessings.

Deuteronomy 1:26 "Nevertheless you would not go up, but rebelled against the command of the LORD your God; 27 "and you complained in your tents, and said, 'Because the LORD hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

Complaint is so strong it inhibits the complainer from walking in obedience. Complaint is so strong it twists the complainer’s view of God. God hates me and wants to destroy me says the complainer. The mindset of the complainer needs broken by the power of truth.

Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as [the] elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also [must do]. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

You have to know who you are in Christ. The elect of God, the holy and beloved… Complainers have trouble walking in the truth. The elect of God those who are holy and beloved are empowered to walk in obedience. We in the strength of the blessing provided. We are not trying to get bless, we are blessed and empowered to walk in obedience to the Blessed One.

2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
