God Don’t ‘PLAY’!
“And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. And they said, Hath The LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And The LORD heard it. (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
And The LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out. And The LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I The LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of The LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
And the anger of The LORD was kindled against them; and he departed. 10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.
And Moses cried unto The LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. And The LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again. And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.” Numbers 12:1-16.
My Thoughts
When The LORD says, “Touch not Mine Anointed” — please believe Him!
Moses sister and brother were jealous and envious of his relationship with The LORD.
Even though God used both of them to aid Moses — that still was not good enough for them. They wanted their own fortune and fame.
“He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, saying, ‘Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm‘.” 1 Chronicles 16:21-22.
I fully understand this message. Our tongue holds power. Be careful what you say. Speak life.
“For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.” 2 Corinthians 10:12.
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Proverbs 18:21.
“Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.” James 3:5-10.
Peace Out,
The Blessing of The LORD Be upon You,

Dear Adam,
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. Hebrews 13:17
I’ve been so angry with your post, Mary—NOT with you—but more so an unhealed reaction on my part, I think? Whilst I totally agree, “God don’t ‘PLAY’”, which I know from first-hand experience, what about the so-called platformed ‘anointed’ prophets who murder God’s own, sitting in Church pews, all because they have the audacity to prophesy a word that displeases them? With their words they spiritually ‘murder’ us! And that’s okay, apparently, because THEY have ‘titles’. We’ve had that ‘Do not touch God’s anointed’ used as a weapon against us so many times at Church. Well, guess what, the majority of God’s ‘anointed’ mostly go unnoticed, and are sitting in Church pews. Does God care about them/us?
Blessings Mary. This is not personal, just my rant. ❤️
Dear Monica,
We must do things God’s way. He has commanded us to love and forgive. Offenses will come, that is written. The Lord wants us to be vessels of honor.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:16-21
7 Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.
8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed: 9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible. 11 Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. 13 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ: 15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly, 16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand. 2 Corinthians 10:7-16
“The Lord wants us to be vessels of honour”. Amen! He surely does. Thank you so much, Mary for reminding me of this. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I very much appreciate it. ❤️
Really, God doesn’t play with HIS anointed and prophets. I was told of a sudden death of an unbeliever who slapped & rained abuses on a preacher in my place. The other one I witnessed it where God stepped in & killed all the firstborns, next, started to kill the parents of the deceased firstborns & all those who ganged up & falsely accused HIS anointed and prophet. It was so so touching. We all need to be extremely careful with how we use our tongues in judging God’s servants.
Thanks & more Grace on you Pastor Adger
