The Assassins Among Us

Israel stood at the edge of promise. They had been delivered, fed, led, and prepared. But they never arrived. The assassins were not just outside the camp. They were within it. Compromise, rebellion, unbelief, and false leadership picked off a generation before they could possess what God had given them.

  15. No. 15The Journey Continues: God’s Provision Is His Preparation (Assassins Among Us – Session 2, Part 1)In Session 1, we walked through the Thirteen Elements of Preparation God required before Israel could move forward.
  16. No. 16Assassins Among Us #17: The Blood Applied in BondageGOD COMMANDS REMEMBRANCE BEFORE MOVEMENT Before Israel took a single step into the wilderness, God gave them a command. Not a suggestion. Not an option. A command.
  17. No. 17Assassins Among Us #18: Grace for the Years the Locust AteYesterday we asked a critical question: What does God do with people who missed it? Let’s find out.
  18. No. 18Assassins Among Us #19: Delivered TO, Not Just FROMYesterday we asked: where do you stand? Are you unclean? Did the locusts devour your years? Are you apathetic — clean but not seeking? The blood covers all of it. But why?
  19. No. 19Assassins Among Us #20: The Cloud by DayAssassins Among Us #20: The Cloud by Day Yesterday we asked: Are you living in what the blood purchased, or are you settling for something less? The blood purchased access.
  20. No. 20Assassins Among Us #21: The Fire by NightYesterday we asked: What happens when darkness falls? The cloud provided shade by day. But the wilderness doesn’t stop being dangerous when the sun goes down. If anything, the danger increases.
  21. No. 21Assassins Among Us #22: The Riches of His InheritanceYesterday we said the cloud and fire represented something greater than protection and guidance. They represented the treasure of God’s presence itself.
  22. No. 22Assassins Among Us #23: From Cloud and Fire to the Holy SpiritYesterday we discovered that the riches of His inheritance aren’t things—they’re Him. The treasure isn’t what God gives. The treasure is that God gives Himself.
  23. No. 23Assassins Among Us #24: The Spirit as Access and IntimacyYesterday we saw the upgrade—from God WITH Israel to God IN us. But having access and using access are two different things.
  24. No. 24Assassins Among Us #25: The Spirit as Daily GuidanceYesterday we talked about access and intimacy. But intimacy isn’t passive. It leads somewhere. Israel didn’t just admire the cloud. They followed it.
  25. No. 25Assassins Among Us #26: The Spirit as Daily SustenanceYesterday we talked about following the Spirit’s leading. But following requires strength. And strength requires sustenance. Israel didn’t just need guidance in the wilderness. They needed food.
  26. No. 26Assassins Among Us #27: The Tragedy of Despising the SpiritYesterday we saw Israel complain about manna. They wanted the food of Egypt instead of the bread from heaven. This wasn’t just ingratitude. It was something far more dangerous.
  27. No. 27Assassins Among Us #28: Sealed—The Word the Assassins MurderedYesterday we asked what it means to be “sealed” if we can grieve and quench the Spirit. Today we dig into that word—and discover the assassins got to it first. We’ve been preparing for battle.
  28. No. 28Assassins Among Us #29Yesterday we uncovered the murder. The assassins took “sealed” and redefined it to mean closed, finished, dormant. But “sealed” meant guaranteed, protected, marked for delivery.
  29. No. 29Assassins Among Us #30: At the Command of the LORDYesterday we said you are secure AND sent. The seal guarantees your standing. But that standing was never meant to leave you stationary.
  30. No. 30Assassins Among Us #31: Provision IS PreparationWe’ve journeyed far in this session. From the blood applied in bondage to the seal that sends us forward. Today we bring it all together.
