Fleeces?


A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you . . . . — EZEKIEL 36:26,27

To receive guidance, some people put out what they call a “fleece” before the Lord. The New Testament, however, does not say, “As many as are led by fleeces, they are the sons of God.”

“Yes,” someone may say, “but Gideon put out a fleece back in the Old Testament.”

Why go back under the Old Covenant? We’ve got something better under the New Covenant. The Old Covenant was for spiritually dead people. I’m not spiritually dead — I’m alive! I’ve got the Spirit of God in me!

Remember, Gideon was not a prophet, priest, or king. Only men who stood in those three offices, under the Old Covenant, were anointed by the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God was not personally present with the rest of the people. That is why every male had to present himself once a year at the Temple in Jerusalem.

The Shekinah glory — the Presence of God — was kept shut up in the Holy of Holies. But when Jesus died on Calvary, the curtain that blocked the way into the Holy of Holies was ripped in two from top to bottom. God moved out — and He has never dwelled in an earth-made house since! He dwells in us!

Confession: God’s Spirit dwells in me! He is the Greater One, and He dwells in me!

  1. Praise the Lord! I very much enjoy your health food and faith food email devotions. I also send them to family and friends who enjoy them very much. I have been receiving them for a long time now with no problem, until this last week. They have stopped coming. I only received one. Please, my family and friends are asking for them, and I miss receiving them as well.
    Thank you very much. God bless.

  2. Both the faith food and the health food are a tremendous blessing to me and my family( nuclear and extended). The two devotionals just keep making my life and that of my love ones better and better each day. Both my spiritual and physical lives are improving and changing from glory to glory. Not only does it impact my spiritual and physical lives but I use these devotionals as a means of tapping into the anointing upon the life of this great great great man of God. He is indeed a blessing and i am blessed by him. May his entire generation remain forever bless in Jesus Almighty Glorious Precious Name Amen and Amen.
