I’m Not Lost, I’ve Got 2
All Roads Lead through Jericho Series
It’s not hard to get lost. Trying to find your way to a destination is often not as easy as it seems. Google has helped with offering satellite directions, and there are a few apps that offer precise directions to wherever. However, there is no ‘simple app’ in finding ‘which way to go’ in your spiritual walk with God—no yellow brick road—no ‘natural means’ for a spiritual journey.
God is not found outside of Jesus Christ. Often we wonder where He is when we need Him. We often get lost. Is the god we worship on some journey or taking a nap—this is what the prophet Elijah spoke about the god, Baal, to the false prophets of Jezebel (I Kings chapter 18).
God does have a method, a means, ‘to find your way’. God chose the ‘number 2’. Yes, 2! Just like the computer system that operates with the binary system of 2, so does God. God understands the power of “2”, and has made “2 witnesses” to be the groundwork of how He guides His will on the earth.
God says, “The Spirit and the Word agree as one.” This is the best way to know what God wants from you or to find your way with God—depend on the Bible (God’s Word) and the Holy Spirit to direct you. Nevertheless, there are other means to ‘staying found’—being un-lost.
God confirms what He is telling us through witnesses. I always look for confirmation to what God wants me to do—I look, no I expect, a second word or example from the Lord, i.e. I look for the number “2”. There has to be an agreement; a witness to what I initially am giving from the Lord. (The Bible has so many examples of this.)
If I have a dream from the Lord, I look for a confirmation from another source, often a call or letter from a friend telling me something that confirms the dream. If I receive a spoken word from a minister/friend, I look for a confirmation from ‘an outside source’ that will agree to what was said to me. I just look for 2 sources to agree. This way I know for sure what God is asking of me or telling me to do.
Satan gets advantage over us, as he did over Eve and so many others in the Bible, when we listen to just ‘one source’ for guidance. We need to be careful. This is why the Bible talks about ‘checks and balances’ when it comes to the operation of the Gifts of the Spirit and why God sends His ministers into the world by “2’s”.
God promises to “confirm His Word with signs and wonders” (the number 2 in operation) so we might know it is Him who is being manifested to us. Do not get lost. Be prepared for God to confirm everything He is telling you through whatever means or from whoever. God never wants us confused or lost. He knows the way because He is the way.
