Positioned for Increase

We've seen God's favor in the past but it seems like that favor is being taken away: a close friend leaves your life, a business deal ends, etc....

Sometimes God removes what is working to stretch your fait

Manna was temporary provision but they got used to it and counted on it.

And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
Joshua 5:12 KJV


They would have lived off of manna for their entire lives even though other things were available.

You're close to your promise land when the Manna dries up. 

The friend who left may have been limiting you. 

Tony Dungy

Was pushed pushed out of his Tampa Bay coaching job but then was offered a position with the Colts and won the superbowl

Would have missed the abundance that belonged to them if God kept providing manna.

If something stops then it wasn't supposed to be permanen. Don't have a Manna mentality.

The closer the Israelites got to the promised land, the less God helped...they had to grow up. They got new responsibilities.

The longer we hold on, the more miserable we'll be. 

Elijah 

And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,  Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.  And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.  So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord : for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.  And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.  And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.  And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,  Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
1 Kings 17:2‭-‬9 KJV

Put Your Trust in Redemption

Lisa Comes

Timothy, please come as soon as you can. Demas has deserted me because he loves the things of this life and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus has gone to Dalmatia. Only Luke is with me. Bring Mark with you when you come, for he will be helpful to me in my ministry. I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. When you come, be sure to bring the coat I left with Carpus at Troas. Also bring my books, and especially my papers. Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm, but the Lord will judge him for what he has done. Be careful of him, for he fought against everything we said. The first time I was brought before the judge, no one came with me. Everyone abandoned me. May it not be counted against them. But the Lord stood with me and gave me strength so that I might preach the Good News in its entirety for all the Gentiles to hear. And he rescued me from certain death.  Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
2 Timothy 4:9‭-‬18 NLT

Joseph Prince @ Lakewood Church

God will make a clear difference between his people and those against.

"Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you. Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory of the Lord rises and appears over you. All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance. "Look and see, for everyone is coming home! Your sons are coming from distant lands; your little daughters will be carried home. Your eyes will shine, and your heart will thrill with joy, for merchants from around the world will come to you. They will bring you the wealth of many lands.
Isaiah 60:1‭-‬5 NLT

Then the Lord said to Moses, "Lift your hand toward heaven, and the land of Egypt will be covered with a darkness so thick you can feel it." So Moses lifted his hand to the sky, and a deep darkness covered the entire land of Egypt for three days. During all that time the people could not see each other, and no one moved. But there was light as usual where the people of Israel lived.
Exodus 10:21‭-‬23 NLT

America has been the #1 nation to spread the gospel.

And the Lord replied, "If I find fifty righteous people in Sodom, I will spare the entire city for their sake."
Genesis 18:26 NLT

Our hopes cannot be in fallen creation, it must be in redemption. Don't put your trust in what you eat and exercise...put your trust in God.


On the first day of the week, we gathered with the local believers to share in the Lord's Supper. Paul was preaching to them, and since he was leaving the next day, he kept talking until midnight.
Acts of the Apostles 20:7 NLT

Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.
Acts 20:7 NKJV

For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.
I Corinthians 11:30 NKJV

There's divine sentence. The blood is a sign that your house will not suffer under the divine sentence. It's not your good works or your good name or anything you could do.

'For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord . Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. 'So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.
Exodus 12:12‭-‬15 NKJV

The children of Israel were out in the wilderness with no doctors or medical care. He also brought them out with silver and gold, And there  was none feeble among His tribes.
Psalms 105:37 NKJV

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Mark 11:24 NKJV

God has made provision ALREADY! We need to eat everything.

Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fireits head with its legs and its entrails.
Exodus 12:8‭-‬9 NKJV

For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.
I Corinthians 11:29‭-‬30 NKJV

Animals were killed humanely but Jesus was not. Because :

But He was  wounded for our transgressions, He  was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5 NKJV

"No one outside a priest's family may eat the sacred offerings. Even guests and hired workers in a priest's home are not allowed to eat them.
Leviticus 22:10 NLT

A hired serving cannot partake because it is a gift of grace that you cannot earn.

The gift of righteousness 

Just as many were astonished at you, So His visage was marred more than any man, And His form more than the sons of men;
Isaiah 52:14 NKJV

You're not saved JUST by following his teachings.

But it was the Lord 's good plan to crush him and cause him grief. Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have many descendants. He will enjoy a long life, and the Lord 's good plan will prosper in his hands.
Isaiah 53:10 NLT


Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
Isaiah 53:10 KJV

And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.  And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord's passover.
Exodus 12:10‭-‬11 KJV

Change Your Name

Don't believe the lies that people tell about you. 

Born to lose tattoo....before you're stamped with a name you already accepted it in your mind.

Benjamin

According to the Hebrew Bible, Benjamin's name arose when Jacob deliberately changed the name "Benoni", the original name of Benjamin, since Benoni was an allusion to Rachel's dying just after she had given birth, as it means "son of my pain". He hadn't done anything wrong but sometimes the people who are supposed to speak life into you take their pain out on you. 

What God names you overrides what people name you. 

Don't let what people can't see in you talk you out of your promises.

Counselor told a guy he didn't have potential and should apply to a basic job so he did. That company closed so he applied for a similar job but the new company required an IQ test. The IQ Test showed that he was a genius.



You aren't what people call you,  you're what you answer to.

Everything Serves His Plan

Pastor Joel @ Lakewood Church

It's easy to live frustrated fighting against things that don't go right. 

Your regulations remain true to this day, for everything serves your plans.
Psalms 119:91 NLT

Delays, betrayals, closed doors, denials, and the other seemingly negative outcomes are all serving his plan.

The person who walked away and the closed door.

When someone serves you, they are doing you a favor.

You can't reach your destiny without opposition. God won't allow anything unless it serves his plan.

Judas was a pawn in the hand of God. Without Judas' betrayal we wouldn't have salvation. You may not like the disappointment 

God is using people like sandpaper to rub off our rough edges.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord , And He delights in his way.
Psalms 37:23 NKJV


And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28 NKJV

All things aren't good but they work toward your good. 

Sometimes things don't make sense, God doesn't take us A, B, C... he'll take is A, L, M, B...It may seem like you're going backwards even.

Joseph was shown a prophecy of his accomplishments in a dream. He was already his dad's favorite son so the drean made them even more jealous. His brothers threw him in a pit, sold him into slavery where he was falsely accused then convicted of sexual harrassment, he went to prison where he helped the other prisoners who subsequently forgot about him, but he was finally freed and saw his dreams realized.

Judas kiss, people throwing you in the pit, and the like are moving you into your destiny.

Pastor Joel hired a professional to do his taxes. The professional messed up so he ended up hiring a lawyer who became his good friend. That lawyer helped negotiate a contract for the purchase of a television station which was sold for a significant profit and those funds were used to renovate the Compaq Center. It all started with an unfair tax problem.

A man was stranded on an island and after praying to God for help, his hut caught on fire. He was upset then he saw a boat coming toward him it was the coastguard. The man asked how they found him and they said that they saw smoke from his fire.

Sometimes what we think is a disappointment is propelling us forward.

If your hut is on fire, then take a different perspective and know that it's working for your favor...helping you to get into a better 

Nick Nilson was a star football player headed toward higher levels in that avenue until he tore his ACL. Sitting on the sidelines he realized his purpose.

Obstacles are there to get us prepared.

Now these are  the nations which the Lord left, that He might test Israel by them, that  is, all who had not known any of the wars in Canaan ( this  was only so that the generations of the children of Israel might be taught to know war, at least those who had not formerly known it),
Judges 3:1‭-‬2 NKJV

And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
II Corinthians 12:7‭-‬9 NKJV


My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.
Psalms 119:71 NLT

God is about to connect the dots!

The Fight for Your Future

We have setbacks that weren't our fault but there's something in you the enemy is trying to hold back. You're the enemy's target because you're destined to take new ground 

David was pretty plain on the surface. When Samuel came to annoint one of Jesse's son's as the new king, his dad didn't even bring him in from the shepherd's field. When he went to take his brother's lunch they belittled him. Even though he didn't seem intimidating many storms came between him and his purpose.

A storm came between Jesus and the man with the unclean spirit.

On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side."  Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.
Mark 4:35‭, ‬39 NKJV


Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes. And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains, because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones. And he cried out with a loud voice and said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me." For He said to him, "Come out of the man, unclean spirit!"  Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who  had  been  demon-possessed and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.
Mark 5:1‭-‬5‭, ‬7‭-‬8‭, ‬15 NKJV


I will exalt you, Lord , for you rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me.
Psalms 30:1 NLT

God's purpose is stronger than the enemy's plan.

Pastor John faced many obstacles. A fire, being fired because his message of hope didn't fit in, etc..

For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there  are many adversaries.
I Corinthians 16:9 NKJV

Moses
When God is fighting your battles things that don't make sense willl happen.

The story of Moses starts in Exodus 2:1-10. By the end of Exodus 1, the pharaoh of Egypt (perhaps Ramses II) had decreed that all the Hebrew boy babies were to be drowned at birth. But when Yocheved, Moses' mother, give birth she decides to hide her son. After a few months, the baby is too big for her to hide safely, so she decides to place him in a caulked wicker basket in a strategic spot in the reeds that grew along the sides of the Nile River (often referred to as bulrushes), with the hope that he will be found and adopted.

To ensure the baby's safety, Moses's sister Miriam watches from a hiding place nearby.

The baby's crying alerts one of the pharaoh's daughters who takes the baby. Moses' sister Miriam watches in hiding but comes out when it is clear the princess is planning to keep the child. She asks the princess if she would like a Hebrew midwife. The princess agrees and so Miriam arranges to have the real mother get paid to nurse her own child who now lives among the Egyptian royalty.

Nicky Cruz


Cruz was born in Las Piedras, Puerto Rico where he was raised by his parents.[1] His parents practiced brujeria and were followers of spiritism("espiritismo"). They mentally abused him; his own mother would call him "Son of Satan". The neighborhood in which he lived was one of the worst in Puerto Rico and Cruz was always getting into trouble. According to his book Run Baby Run, his parents sent him to live with his brother in New York City when he was 15, and Cruz soon ran away and started living on the streets of the city. He became a member of the Mau Maus street gang, and about six months later Cruz was selected Warlord of the gang. He quickly rose to become their president.[2][3]

Shortly after Cruz became the gang leader, David Wilkerson was preaching in the neighborhood when Cruz encountered him. The preacher told Cruz that "Jesus loved him and would never stop loving him". Cruz responded by slapping Wilkerson and threatening to kill him. Wilkerson attempted again later to convert Cruz, and received the same response.[2][3]

Later, Wilkerson organised an evangelistic meeting in the neighborhood with the intent of converting the Mau Maus. When Cruz heard about it, he headed with some of the members of his gang for the boxing arena where the meeting was being held, on a bus sent specially by Wilkerson. According to Cruz, when he arrived at the arena, he "felt guilty about the things that he had done" and began to pray. After preaching, Wilkerson asked the Mau Maus to take up a collection. Cruz volunteered and led a group of the gang through the crowd, insisting on people giving money. Going backstage, he saw an exit, but convinced the group to give the money to Wilkerson on stage. Later, Wilkerson gave an altar call, and a large number of gang members responded. Wilkerson prayed with Cruz, and Cruz asked God to forgive him.[2][3]

Afterward, Cruz and some of the gang members who were converted went to the police and turned in all of their bricks, handguns and knives, shocking the police officers in the station. They stated that if they had seen the group approaching, they probably would have shot them down. Cruz began to study the Bibleand went to Bible college. He became a preacher and returned to his old neighborhood, where he preached and converted more of the Mau Maus to Christianity, including the gang's new leader, Israel Narvaez.[2][3]


Keep moving forward and don't get discouraged.

And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord , which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace." And the Lord said to Moses, "Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
Exodus 14:13‭-‬16 NKJV

Don't Settle For Less

Pastor Joel @ Lakewood Church

It's easy to water down what God pronises us when things are taking longer than you thought. "Good enough" is not what God promises you.  The enemy can't take away what God promises but he can convince you to settle. 

Pull up your stakes and pack up your belongings because mediocrity is not your home. You shouldn't settle for less than what God promises.

Don't move the goal post to fit your circumstances. Know that God wouldn't have promised it if it Werent possible.

In Genesis 15 God promised Abraham and Sarah a baby even though they were passed the biological clock. Sarah watered down the promise by convincing Abraham to have a baby with her servant. That's what we do sometimes...instead of rising to God's thinking we adjust the plan to fit our limited belief.

You don't have to take up for God or try to help God not look bad...He doesn't need that type of help.

Don't let what you don't have talk you out of what God does have. 

Shadrach, Meshach, abd Abednego. You may feel like your hands are tied but God's hands aren't tied. God isn't limited by what's limiting us. He's the 4th man in the fire.

So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, securely tied, fell into the roaring flames. But suddenly, Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement and exclaimed to his advisers, "Didn't we tie up three men and throw them into the furnace?" "Yes, Your Majesty, we certainly did," they replied. "Look!" Nebuchadnezzar shouted. "I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god !"
Daniel 3:23‭-‬25 NLT


Ishmael represents a spirit of Good enough. God isn't going to give you a substitute blessing, the real thing is coming.


And I will bless her and give you a son from her! Yes, I will bless her richly, and she will become the mother of many nations. Kings of nations will be among her descendants." Then Abraham bowed down to the ground, but he laughed to himself in disbelief. "How could I become a father at the age of 100?" he thought. "And how can Sarah have a baby when she is ninety years old?" So Abraham said to God, "May Ishmael live under your special blessing!"
Genesis 17:16‭-‬18 NLT

Just because you've settled doesn't mean God has.

And Sarah declared, "God has brought me laughter. All who hear about this will laugh with me. Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse a baby? Yet I have given Abraham a son in his old age!"
Genesis 21:6‭-‬7 NLT

"Who would have ever thought?!" blessings are headed your way. 

And may the Lord , the God of your ancestors, multiply you a thousand times more and bless you as he promised!
Deuteronomy 1:11 NLT


But Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, the land of his birth, while his father, Terah, was still living.
Genesis 11:28 NLT

You have to say "yes I'm hurt but I'm not settling here"

One day Terah took his son Abram, his daughter-in-law Sarai (his son Abram's wife), and his grandson Lot (his son Haran's child) and moved away from Ur of the Chaldeans. He was headed for the land of Canaan, but they stopped at Haran and settled there. Terah lived for 205 years and died while still in Haran.
Genesis 11:31‭-‬32 NLT

Terah was the first one called to go to the promised land but he settled.

The enemy would love for us to settle.

Many of us are next door to our promised land.

"Send out men to explore the land of Canaan, the land I am giving to the Israelites. Send one leader from each of the twelve ancestral tribes." But Caleb tried to quiet the people as they stood before Moses. "Let's go at once to take the land," he said. "We can certainly conquer it!" But the other men who had explored the land with him disagreed. "We can't go up against them! They are stronger than we are!" So they spread this bad report about the land among the Israelites: "The land we traveled through and explored will devour anyone who goes to live there. All the people we saw were huge. We even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak. Next to them we felt like grasshoppers, and that's what they thought, too!"
Numbers 13:2‭, ‬30‭-‬33 NLT

"Good enough" is not good enough!

Disconnect From Discord

Pastor Joel at Lakewood Church

We all have people in our life who are professional troublemakers. If you hang around them long enough then you'll be upset. These people don't have your best interests in mind.

And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people's faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them.
Romans 16:17 NLT

Before you get riled up consider the source. Your time is too valuable to let people poison your spirit. Some people aren't healthy enough to give you advice.

Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked [following their advice and example], Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit [down to rest] in the seat of scoffers (ridiculers).
PSALMS 1:1 AMP

(How well God must like you— you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End Road, you don't go to Smart-Mouth College.
Psalm 1:1 MSG)

Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces.
Proverbs 13:20 MSG

Don't be a participator with sowers of discord. 

EVEN IF IT'S TRUE, CONSIDER THE PURPOSE IT WILL SERVE. Love covers a fault. Love covers a weakness.


Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:8 NLT

Their perverted hearts plot evil, and they constantly stir up trouble. But they will be destroyed suddenly, broken in an instant beyond all hope of healing.
Proverbs 6:14‭-‬15 NLT

DON'T COMPARE YOUR LIFE TO ANYONE ELSE'S

There will always be someone ahead of you.  Don't let people talk you into being sour.

Joel egged his friend on to disrespect the referee of the basketball game. The coach eventually kicked his friend out of the game and Joel got to play. That's what happens when we let people sow discord into our hearts. They continue to enjoy the game while we're sitting in the locker room.

One day Korah son of Izhar, a descendant of Kohath son of Levi, conspired with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, from the tribe of Reuben. They incited a rebellion against Moses, along with 250 other leaders of the community, all prominent members of the assembly. They united against Moses and Aaron and said, "You have gone too far! The whole community of Israel has been set apart by the Lord , and he is with all of us. What right do you have to act as though you are greater than the rest of the Lord 's people?"
Numbers 16:1‭-‬3 NLT

If you are unhappy, then the best thing to do is to go to the people in charge and Express  your concerns not to sow discord trying to get others on your side.

A sower of discord isn't happy until others are poisoned.


When Moses heard what they were saying, he fell face down on the ground. Then he said to Korah and his followers, "Tomorrow morning the Lord will show us who belongs to him and who is holy. The Lord will allow only those whom he selects to enter his own presence. Meanwhile, Korah had stirred up the entire community against Moses and Aaron, and they all gathered at the Tabernacle entrance. Then the glorious presence of the Lord appeared to the whole community,
Numbers 16:4‭-‬5‭, ‬19 NLT

God doesn't play around when it comes to discord.

And Moses said, "This is how you will know that the Lord has sent me to do all these things that I have done—for I have not done them on my own. He had hardly finished speaking the words when the ground suddenly split open beneath them. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed the men, along with their households and all their followers who were standing with them, and everything they owned. All the people around them fled when they heard their screams. "The earth will swallow us, too!" they cried. Then fire blazed forth from the Lord and burned up the 250 men who were offering incense.
Numbers 16:28‭, ‬31‭-‬32‭, ‬34‭-‬35 NLT

When you become a troublemaker you step out of God's protection.

Instead of exposing something, we cover it up.

Saying, "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm."
Psalms 105:15 NKJV


After the flood, Noah began to cultivate the ground, and he planted a vineyard. One day he drank some wine he had made, and he became drunk and lay naked inside his tent. Ham, the father of Canaan, saw that his father was naked and went outside and told his brothers. Then Shem and Japheth took a robe, held it over their shoulders, and backed into the tent to cover their father. As they did this, they looked the other way so they would not see him naked. When Noah woke up from his stupor, he learned what Ham, his youngest son, had done. Then he cursed Canaan, the son of Ham: "May Canaan be cursed! May he be the lowest of servants to his relatives." Then Noah said, "May the Lord , the God of Shem, be blessed, and may Canaan be his servant! May God expand the territory of Japheth! May Japheth share the prosperity of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant."
Genesis 9:20‭-‬27 NLT

You can't stop people from sowing discord but you can stop ot from getting in you. 


My enemies have set a trap for me. I am weary from distress. They have dug a deep pit in my path, but they themselves have fallen into it. Interlude
Psalms 57:6 NLT

Don't fight battles that don't matter.

There happened to be a troublemaker there named Sheba son of Bicri, a man from the tribe of Benjamin. Sheba blew a ram's horn and began to chant: "Down with the dynasty of David! We have no interest in the son of Jesse. Come on, you men of Israel, back to your homes!" So all the men of Israel deserted David and followed Sheba son of Bicri. But the men of Judah stayed with their king and escorted him from the Jordan River to Jerusalem. Then the king told Amasa, "Mobilize the army of Judah within three days, and report back at that time." And Joab replied, "Believe me, I don't want to devour or destroy your town! That's not my purpose. All I want is a man named Sheba son of Bicri from the hill country of Ephraim, who has revolted against King David. If you hand over this one man to me, I will leave the town in peace." "All right," the woman replied, "we will throw his head over the wall to you." Then the woman went to all the people with her wise advice, and they cut off Sheba's head and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the ram's horn and called his troops back from the attack. They all returned to their homes, and Joab returned to the king at Jerusalem.
