11/01 Daily Exhortation (Matt.6:11; Luke 11:3; Hebrews 3:13;10:25, etc.)

For this 11/1, let’s learn a ton from this loaded 11:1…

Judges 11:1 (KJB)  Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.

Nine points in Bible Numerics to fruitfulness and the Spirit of God. The ninth judge of the Judges was Jephthah who gets an honourable mention in the great HALL OF FAITH chapter, which likewise begins with an 11:1 (Hebrews 11:1 and 11:32).

Hebrews 11:32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets...

Think Genesis 11:1 to get the spiritual typology of the spiritual Whore of Babylon (Rev.17, etc.) which is a deeper study altogether. 

Here is the backstory. Jephthah’s father fornicated with a whore and Jephthah was born out of wedlock. This is a lot of baggage coming from such a generation/lineage. But note that he was “a mighty man of valour.” God raised him up as a judge of  Israel. 

But his Gileadite brethren thrust him out as the bastard born out of wedlock. Jephthah attracts some “vain” type guys (rough looking/tough-acting bunch) who gravitate around this natural fighter/leader. It’s basically a gang of zealots. Later, the Gileadites decide they NEED (ha ha) Jephthah to help them win some battles and ask him to come back and be their captain. Sounds like Joseph and his brethren, nay? Understood full well.

EVERY. SINGLE. Time. Period. And in every single time period. 

 

Watch this: Judges 11:29 Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.

Here is another 11:29… Numbers 11:29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!

Joshua was jealous that God was using some folks that he felt God should not be using. Happens all the time. God is no respecter of persons. If you are loving God full of the Holy Ghost, GOD WILL USE YOU. 

The ideal situation is raising up godly seed (see Mal. 2 and Proverbs 22:6 and Gen. 18:19, and well, THE BIBLE). Ideally, raise up godly seed with womb to the tomb patriarchy. Most men won't. Most Christian men won't. Most are slothful in child-training and you'll know it INSTANTLY. But don’t count out folks from a bad background that are being mightily used by God as a trophy of grace. This is a paradox. The compounded Proverbs 22:6 godly heritage is FAR SUPERIOR. Yet, consider…

 

Luke 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

Personally, God had to muddy up His beautiful hands to pull me from the miry pit of sin at age 19. Until somebody is reprobate, there is hope. Jephthah still made a very rash/hasty vow that cost him his daughter (very, very foolish), but he ends the race strong regardless of a troubling start. 

RAISE UP GODLY SEED. It is glorious. And in your ministry, don’t count out folks that are saved from “the other side of the tracks.” Those generational curses may attract some “vain” folks, but in the end, may God get glory. Watch those nasty influences trying to destroy godly seed (*especially unholy family and Carnal anti-Proverbs 22:6 Christians which if they take your child's heart, it Cancels the covenant). May the Lord put His Spirit upon you, mighty man/woman of VALOUR.

⚠️ DAILY JESUS WALK ALERT ⚠️ I was literally teaching the family on overcoming by your testimony seconds before looking up this date's past exhortation AND LOOK AT THE PICTURE! Gotta LOVE IT.
