SPIRITUAL GILGAL - 2008
-by Clay Sikes.

What is really happening today spiritually? The depth of what we
are seeing was unimaginable only a few years back. There is a
tearing, a clear an obvious separation and exposure of flesh that
is being purged from the Body of Christ individually and corporately.
God is preparing a true remnant; men and women who are dead,
yet live only for His cause in the earth. The fires of affliction have
been very hot, as God's true remnant church is reaching the final
stage of preparation before being released into divine, power-filled,
God ordained destiny. The common thread running throughout
this remnant company is their lack of being bound by tradition,
and a true existence of living by faith.

The dynamics of being on earth today are perhaps like no other
time; as the world's system is falling apart at the seams and
failing its many suitors; minister and ministries are being revealed
for their true intentions, as true prophetic ministries (no-name
nobodies) are finding their fit with those to whom they are called.
Many big name prophetic ministries are being called into question
as to their true discernment, monetary motive, and less than
accurate prophetic words. Still, many in the Body are blinded by
the blight of big ministries, big ministers, big meetings, and big
money; yet, I believe God will use the prophetic ministry in a big
way, but not through those who call and title themselves as such.

There is a movement in the earth today that you will not see on
'God TV', read about on the Elijah List, nor see on what is
commonly called Christian TV. This move of God is coming about
in the hearts of men and women as God is directing us to truth
and connecting us with others of like faith. A spiritual DNA is
coursing the veins of those 'called together;' that recognize this
is not in a geographical joining, but rather a joining in a deep
abiding understanding of the times and hour in which we live.
This is unlike any time in the earth as the wheat is surely being
separated from the chaff, the sheep from the wolves, and the
Kingdom from the world's system. With this understanding, think
it not a strange thing to see the collapse of the real estate and
financial markets, the exposure of the events of Lakeland, and
the blatant separation between the 'sleeping church' and those
who are awakening.

We are sitting in a spiritual Gilgal, awaiting our next command;
and yes this circumcision is painful, but the journey we are about
to take will make it all 'worth it.'

(My own thoughts (David Nelson) on Gilgal. In Gilgal the people were circumcised in the promised land and the Lord said, “This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” And they kept the Passover there too. (Josh. 4:19, 20 and 5:8-10) In I Sam. 10:8 Samuel the prophet says to Saul the king, “Seven days you shall wait, till I come to you and show you what to do. As Saul waited Samuel did not seem to come during the 7 days and the people were scattering from him. (I Sam. 13:8) (It does not matter how many follow what the Lord is saying now, we must continue on in what we have heard from the Lord. And we must wait for the Lord to come and show us what to do and not do our “own thing.”)  I Sam. 13:12 says, “I (Saul) felt compelled (or pushed) to offer the sacrifices myself before Samuel came.” “But I the Lord am seeking a man (or men and women for this day) after my own heart.” (I Sam. 13:14) At Gilgal when Saul said to Samuel, “I did the Lord’s command,” concerning killing all the people and animals as commanded by the Lord, Samuel said, but you did not do the Lord’s command. Saul finally admitted, ”I feared the people and obeyed their voice.” (I Sam. 15:3 and 24)
