Levi and Judah, Prepare Your Swords (intro)
Kingdom greetings to all!
It’s been a busy several weeks, and more to come once classes begin. But, I’ve got a small window to “clear my mind” of the most recent thoughts…
What started as a study on Judah the man (you know, Leah’s 4th son to Jacob) to gain prophetic clues about the real weakness of our praise (and hence, its real power) opened a gate to Levi, minstrels, and the coming seduction of Shechem.
Essentially, minstrels are more than musicians. Psalmists are more than singers. The Levitical tribe has the task to protect and attend to the house of God.
Immediately I saw the connection between Levi (and even Simeon), Judah, and this popular push toward praise in our local churches. This is going to be a series of blogs that will help us all, I believe, toward the end goal of POWER PRAISE.
It cannot be manufactured through weakness, but a true understanding of weakness, engineered childhood trauma and God’s grace on a life dedicated to His service lead us to the humility, awareness and proper receipt of His work in us. And the yield is truly “His praises continually in our mouths.”
We’ll grow together in this one as well. Hope you’ll join us and share the entries with those you know who serve in Levi and Judah assignments.
Be well, my beloved Royal Ones.
