The Hebron Concept
Today’s Focus: Transitioning
from the House of Saul to the House of David
Scripture: 1
Chronicles 10:12-14; 13:1-3
Greetings Sons of
God:
1 Chronicles
10:12-14: They arose, all the valiant men and took away the body of Saul, and
the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones
under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the Lord,
even against the Word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking
counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it and enquired not of
the Lord: therefore he slew him and turned the kingdom unto David the son of
Jesse.
In our previous
messages in this series we talked about how David loved Saul even unto death
and when he reached this point of maturity, he was able to advance to
Hebron. Now notice that Saul and his
sons were buried in a place called Jabesh which means ashamed, confused or
disappointed, to dry up or whither away.
Saul’s house had fallen due to his transgressions against the Lord. After this the Lord handed the kingdom over to
David, the son of Jesse. Now let me say
this here and in the next series we will elaborate:
The
house of Saul or spirit of Saul is the spirit of the Institutional church
Please keep that in
mind because in the next message we will elaborate but look how the scripture
ends. It says the kingdom was handed
over to David the son of Jesse. What is
this saying? The Kingdom of God is
arranged in a patriarchal model of fathers and sons and the Father has always
intended to place His Son King to rule over His House and Holy Nation. It will
be on the model of fathers and sons that the Father builds the Nation. But it
will be at this position in the spirit called Hebron where the Holy Nation will
unite and inaugurate Jesus Christ the King over this Holy Nation now watch
this:
1 Chronicles
13:1-3: And David consulted with the
captains of thousands and hundreds and with every leader. And David said unto all the congregation of
Israel, If it see good unto you, and that it be of the Lord our God, let us
send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of
Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities
and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us: And let us bring again
the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul
This is the picture
of the gathering of Israel together at Hebron but more over a return of the Ark
of the Covenant to Israel. What does
this mean? Remember in our previous
teaching series “The Ark of the Covenant and House of God” we said the Ark of
the Covenant are the principles we are to live by in order to guarantee the
presence of the Lord. Remember Israel went no where without the Ark leading
them. Inside the Ark we know were three
items which represent three crucial principles:
1.
Golden Pot of Manna – Grace of God
2.
Aaron’s Rod – Theocratic Leadership
3.
Tablets of the Covenant – Covenant of
Sonship
Everything is
starting to come together or consolidate in this place called Hebron. 2013 will be a crucial year for the House of
God because we will begin to see the consolidation and joining of the House of
God into the Holy Nation. We know that
the Holy Nation is 12 spiritual tribes which are made up of clans, which are
made up of households headed by fathers.
In the next
teaching series we will examine how the spirit of Saul is the spirit of the
Institutional church and how it is mandatory that we migrate to the house of
David because the grace of God is in the model of fathers and sons and it is
the sons of God that dominion is given to, not the slaves of Saul.
Peace, Love and
Grace from the Father,
