Numbers 1-3

Application for us today. 

1.You & I are not in a physical battle to take land like Israel is about to experience. But what kind of battle are we in?

Ephesians 6:12

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

2.The nation was to be centered around the Tabernacle, the meeting place of God. Our lives should be centered around Jesus. If you have made Jesus your Lord & Savior, the Holy Spirit of God is living in you. You are the Temple of God.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

3.As the priest & Levites had a specific job & role to play, you have the same opportunities to serve. 

1 Peter 2:9

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

1 Corinthians 12:4-6

There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.
