The Instruction Before the Intervention
What if the answer to the prayer you keep praying is waiting on an instruction you have not obeyed? We love divine intervention, but we do not always talk about divine instruction. Yet when you look through Scripture, you’ll see the two repeatedly meet.

WHEN GOD HAS HAD ENOUGH
There is something about a calculated attack that frightens us more than an obvious one. It is one thing to know that someone does not want you to succeed and another to discover that they have thought through their moves, closed possible exits and appear to be waiting for you at the only place left…

There is an interesting turn in God’s conversation with Moses. God said, “I have heard their cry.” Then, “I am come down to deliver them.” But almost immediately, He turned to Moses and said, “I will send thee.” Israel prayed to God for deliverance, and a man received the assignment.

Vengeance Against The Power That Wastes Increase
Israel planted, but they did not harvest. They laboured, but others consumed the fruit. Each time the crops were ready, the Midianites, Amalekites, and the people of the East invaded the land, destroyed the produce, and carried away the livestock.
