35 So on that same day Laban [secretly] removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one with white on it, and all the dark ones among the sheep, and put them in the care of his sons.36 And he put [a distance of] three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob was then left in care of the rest of Laban’s flock. 37 Then Jacob took branches of fresh poplar and almond and plane trees, and peeled white stripes in them, exposing the white in the branches. 38 Then he set the branches which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink; and they mated and conceived when they came to drink.39 So the flocks mated and conceived by the branches, and the flocks gave birth to streaked, speckled, and spotted offspring. - Genesis 30:35-39(AMP)
Jacob had been tricked again by Laban, his father-in-law after they had made an agreement that all speckled flock would be given to Jacob as wages over the years. What did Jacob do? Just read from verse 37. How did the flocks interaction with a pictural display of how he wanted their offspring to look match the actual positive outcome? As the flock looked at the white stripes peeled along those plant branches, drank from their water troughs and mated, they gave birth to speckled animals! Wow! What exactly was the correlation? How did that picture communicate with the flocks reproductive system?
Also, do you remember the burning bush that wasn't really burning in Exodus 3? It defied any scientific explanation. The bush and fire
(non-living) must have seen or heard something that made them suspend natural laws! Moses was the man who saw and experienced this weird phenomenon. He eventually witnessed and was party to even more mind blowing experiences. In Exodus 7:14 - 11:10, God sent 10 plagues to the Israelites. The plagues came by the relationship and communication between Moses' and Aaron's rod, and the non-living things (water, dust of the earth etc) they pointed to. How did that happen? Aaron striking the earth, and gnats springing forth from all over the country? What about the parting of the red sea? Moses stretched forth his rod and the sea fled!
In 2 Kings 4, Elisha gave certain instructions to the widowed woman that led to a miraculous multiplication of oil. How a little oil kept pouring into several borrowed vessels till there was no more room defies any scientific explanation. What did the oil see and say to those vessels that commanded such testimony? In 2 Kings 6, this same man Elisha did something baffling. An axe head fell into water and by dropping a piece of wood into the water, the axe head came floating back to the top! Wow!
What about the walls of Jericho (Joshua 6)? The Israelites used their shouts to bring them down! Walls that were famed to be huge and thick fell down flat at the voices of men. What did those walls hear that made them give way so easily?
Jesus healed a blind man using mud and spittle in John 9. The blind man got healed after he washed the mud ointment at the river. What was the relationship between mud, spittle and water?
I can go on and on about several relationships between non-living things and how they've produced amazing physical signs and wonders. Like its been established earlier, God is the creator of all things, including the non-living like the sun, moon, stars, water, sand, stones and so on. Since God is the creator, these things answer to Him. They can see and hear him! If you are a believer, God has restored your authority and dominion over everything He created. This means non-living things can hear you! They can see you, and they can answer to you because of the God in you. The examples above had great physical outcomes because those things recognized the God behind the scene. The water, rod, mud, shout, wall and so on weren't just responding to man, but the God behind the man! They tremble at His presence!
The [Red] Sea looked and fled; The Jordan turned back.
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob (Israel), - Psalm 114:3,7(AMP)
I don't know what it is you are going through; I don't care what is against you, just let it sink in that those things can see and hear you clearly! What is your response to them? Perhaps that's why they still pose a huge threat to you. If you don't have God's word dwelling richly in you, the wisdom and where withal to speak the language these things understand, and show them something they can see and respond to would be lost to you. If Elisha's response to a lost axe head was what he did, what have you lost and how have you responded? Your actions don't have to be scientifically proven or logical, they just have to be in line with God's word and in line with their understanding.
I beseech you therefore, develop your relationship with God. Get to know God better and deeper. Wisdom and instructions in righteousness would begin to pour forth, and things would work in your favour. Then you would speak the language that brings physical results, and show the right things to provoke the desired result(s).
Have a blessed week!
