In the wilderness, God gave Israel a precise order for breaking camp and moving: Judah first, then Issachar, then Zebulun. Praise, then discernment, then warfare. There are protocols and precedents in the Old Testament that find their ultimate fulfillment in Christ. It’s a kingdom sequence for how we move in faith today in Christ. Skip […]

Every religion in history says do this, become that. Paul says you’ve got it backwards. Most people read Colossians 3:5, “Put to death what is earthly in you,” as a call to try harder. But back up two verses and everything changes. “You have died.” That’s not a command. That’s a declaration.

The order is everything.
