VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. The Israel of GOD growing stronger

"And the hand of the Israelites bore more and more"

Hand or "yad" in Hebrew which means:

1. open hand indicates power, means, direction

2. it's differentiated from a closed hand

Children or "ben" in Hebrew which means:

1. son, grandson - we are included here

2. subject, nation, quality or condition

Israel or "yisrael" in Hebrew which means:

1. he will rule as GOD

2. posterity - descendants; children, children's children, &c. indefinitely; the race that proceeds from a progenitor.

Prospered, prevailed or "halak" in Hebrew which means:

1. to walk

2. along, behave, come, continually, be conversant

3. depart, be eased, enter, exercise, follow, forward, get, go, grow, lead, march, speedily, spread, still, surely

It's because the LORD JESUS is our wall of protection and always with us to save and deliver us from our enemies. He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Jeremiah 15:20-21 (Amplified Bible)

15:20 And I will make you to this people a fortified, bronze wall; they will fight against you, but they will not prevail over you, for I am with you to save and deliver you, says the Lord.

15:21 And I will deliver you out of the hands of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the palms of the terrible and ruthless tyrants.

Deuteronomy 31:6 (Amplified Bible)

31:6 Be strong, courageous, and firm; fear not nor be in terror before them, for it is the Lord your God Who goes with you; He will not fail you or forsake you.

Hebrews 13:5 (Amplified Bible)

13:5 Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]

How do we grow as children of GOD? The answer is "from glory to glory" That is literally, from praise to praise. We grow by praising and glorifying our GOD everyday, growth is not overnight, we have to do our work, we have to sweat in praising GOD, it takes human effort to praise and glorify GOD. Praises and Glories to the LORD our GOD everyday and every moment we can gives us growth. It is different from what the world describes as growth.

2 Corinthians 3:18 (Amplified Bible)

3:18 And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.

B. The king of their enemies was destroyed.

"upon Jabin king of Canaan until they had destroyed [him]"

Jabin or "yabyn" in Hebrew which means: intelligent.

Don't belittle our enemies, they are indeed intelligent in the ways of the world, because they don't have the WAY of the LORD within them - the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Proverbs 10:29 (Amplified Bible)

10:29 The way of the Lord is strength and a stronghold to the upright, but it is destruction to the workers of iniquity.

John 14:6 (Amplified Bible)

14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.

1 Samuel 3:12 (Amplified Bible)

3:12 On that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end.

The LORD JESUS Himself will fight our enemies not us, it's not our job, our job is to stand still and see (watch) the salvation of the LORD upon us.

Exodus 14:13 (Amplified Bible)

14:13 Moses told the people, Fear not; stand still (firm, confident, undismayed) and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again.

King David said this by faith:

1 Samuel 17:47 (Amplified Bible)

17:47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.

And how do we fight them if we just stand still? GOD will fight our enemies by His Spirit.

Zechariah 4:6 (Amplified Bible)

4:6 Then he said to me, This [addition of the bowl to the candlestick, causing it to yield a ceaseless supply of oil from the olive trees] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of Whom the oil is a symbol], says the Lord of hosts.

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS as You through me behold the WORD of GOD I am constantly transfigured into Your very Image in ever increasing splendour, from one degree to another, from glory to glory, from praise to praise and from honor to honor of Your Name.
