prayer concerning your land of milk and honey
topic : the land of milk and honey
Passage : Exodus 3:1-10 King James Version (KJV)
3 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
7 And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
the land flowing with milk and honey, what God meant for them when He said it to Israel . is different for each one of us. but the meaning of the milk and honey is the same . the milk stands for God taking care of His people, nuturing us. the honey stands for the sweetness of God and the sweetness of being in His presence. but before we get the milk and honey ;there is a journey we must go on first .thats where we face the sting of the bee (storms and tribulation ) then we arrive at the promised land . you can not get the milk and honey without the bee sting.the enemy isnt going to stand by and see you get a wonderful blessing of God and not fight . just hold on to God. He will provide the cloud by day and the fire at night , He is our provider . our Jehovah Nessi (our victory ). when we dont let go of God ,we will make it to our promised land .
