"Who deceived Joshua?"
ALL thanks unto the Source of who I AM!
As I was listening to this teaching I hEARd within "Who deceived Joshua?"
I opened up the bible and read--->And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai, They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up; And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.
And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us. Joshua 9:3-6
So these Gibeonites deceived Joshua, princes and the men of Israel by pretending to be from a distant land to secure a peace treaty. They used old clothes, dry bread and old wine bottles, to decieve Joshua and the others.
So we read in Joshua 9:14, 15--->And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD. And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.
Here you will see that the men of Israel ate of the bread that was DRY AND MOULDY.
WOW ... Dead bread ... No Life in the bread. Bread of the carnal mind (lower nature).
Also notice "...princes of the congregations"
Instead of partaking with the BREAD OF LIFE, these princes partook of DEATH ....
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Gen 3:19
So many refuse the bread of Life and instead eat the dry and mouldy bread of religion (carnal mind)
No one went to the right side (Wisdom/Bread of Life)
WINE ..... Yes they did NOT want the true wine ... the wine of Life!
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles. Mark 2:22
So much can be said concerning the Wine of Life .... However
And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them. Joshua 9:16
Grasp it .... 3 yes 3 days went by and Truth revealed the lie.
hmmmmmmmmmm Deep.
Time to see that our lower nature will only give us dry and mouldy bread. The higher nature (Christ Mind) IS LIFE!
Now is the time to know that the Bread and Wine of Life is revelation for the transformation of the mind.
Not some dry and mouldy book ....

The wanting to become is stagnation. The "being now" is Life!"
