GIVING HONOR RELEASES MIGHTY WORKS
Beloved ones, watch your speech and be careful of criticism. Even though Miriam had natural privileges as Moses’ sister to speak into his life, she was held accountable for challenging his level of authority. I cast her out to be separated and isolated for a season. Give honor to whom honor is due. Honor your father and mother, honor widows, honor the king, honor elders and honor the weaker vessels. Honor all people. Honor releases gifts and faith to flow even to the point of mighty works.
When I ministered in My home town of Nazareth, I was without honor and seen as a mere man. People were deeply offended in Me and they did not believe. They lacked faith in My divine mission from the Father and I only did a few miracles there because of their unbelief.
Matt 13:57-58 AMP
And they took offense at Him [they were repelled and hindered from acknowledging His authority, and caused to stumble]. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house. 58 And He did not do many works of power there, because of their unbelief (their lack of faith in the divine mission of Jesus).
1 Sam 2:30 KJV
Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Num 12:2-3; 8-10; 13-15 NKJV
So they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it. (Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.) ….
… I speak with him face to face, Even plainly, and not in dark sayings; And he sees the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant Moses?” So the anger of the Lord was aroused against them, and He departed. And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, suddenly Miriam became leprous, as white as snow…
So Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “Please heal her, O God, I pray!” Then the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp seven days, and afterward she may be received again.”
1 Peter 2:17 NKJV
Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
