Eat Your Spinach!

by Pastor Roy

  • The Father’s audible voice: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I’m well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17, Matthew 17:5)
  • Doors – “Transition” points
  • Obstacles – “Giants”
  • James 4;7 – “Submit to God, resist the devil.”
  • 1 Peter 5:8 – “Remain vigilant…”
  • Ephesians 6:12 – Spiritual enemies /Giants
  • Numbers 13:22 – Giants represent spiritual principalities that are obstructions to the “promised land.”
  • Giants – Sons of Anak – “Long-Necked”
  • Neck – connects the Body to the Head
  • Anikim – to Choke – to strangle – kill the Body before it connects to the Head
    1. SHESAI – “Bleached” white silk – counterfeit purity
      • 2 Timothy 3:1-8 – having the form of godliness but with no power because of impure motives
    2. TALMAI – dyed cloth – crimson in color – Cloth = covering – Crimson = suffering, sacrifice
      • A counterfeit replication of Christ’s sacrifice to replace the Beautiful Garments of the Bride:
        1. Praise (Isa 61:3)
        2. Righteousness (Isa 61:10)
        3. Salvation (Eph 6:13-17) “Armor of God”
        4. Humility (1Pet 5:5)
        5. Love (Col 3:14)
      • Dye – extracted from maggots – Flies = Lies – Beelzebub/Satan – “Lord of the Flies.”
      • Talmai speaks of a spirit that exalts itself above God’s true knowledge, replacing it with lies.
    3. AHIMAN – A “Brother of Fortune” – reveres a person’s social standing, personal power, giftings.  A “Good Weather Friend” – Brothers in name but with no Heart connection
  • These three combine to form conditions that create offenses which are stumbling blocks to transition.
  • Popeye:  Eat Your Spinach!  Eat the Word of God!
  • Psalm 119:165
  • Colossians 3:12
  • Colossians 3:14 (TPT)
  • 1 Samuel 17:45 – “You come against me with the sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty,  The God of the armies of Israel.”
