Hebrews 11:31 “By faith the harlot Rehab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace”.
Joshua 6:25 – “And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho” If anyone had told Rahab, the harlot, she would be ancestor of our Lord Jesus, the messiah, the Holy One…she would have called the person crazy…harlot – Holy?
When the nation of Israel crossed the Jordan into Canaan, Jericho was the first place to be conquered. Until Jericho was conquered they could not fully move into the promise land. So, Joshua sent out two spies who came into the house of Rehab the harlot.
When the king of Jericho knew of it, he sent soldiers to capture the spies but Rehab hid them and distracted the soldiers. The soldiers came to kill the spies, but Rehab the prostitute hid them and distracted the soldiers.
God sent the spies into the house of the prostitute to protect them. Some of us will probably say; “God, that cannot be, you have made a mistake, how can sanctified people go and stay with a prostitute”!
Beloved, grace overrules our flaws. Grace overrules our mistake. It over-rules our shortcomings. That is why you cannot write off anyone who is still breathing and is still sitting under the word of God.
Don’t ever write that person off. May the glory of the Lord and the beauty of the King rest upon us, in Jesus mighty Name.
Amen You will have a great turn-around this 2020.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
Don't ever write anyone off, regardless of their station in life.
