Hi, I'm Mason Lombard. I'd like to introduce my Papa. He's the best. Take it away, Papa.

Thank you, buddy. I'll tell you what, the introduction today and yesterday,

they just don't get any better than that. The title of our post today is A New Identity.

In yesterday's post, we began analyzing the word Holy Spirit gave Chuck Pierce.

There will be a return to Gilgall.

We saw that Gilgall was the place Israel first camped and headquartered

after they crossed the Jordan River into the promised land. They named it Gilgau because the word means

rolling. It was there the Lord said he had rolled off of them the reproach of Egypt.

We also saw that this pictured all of humankind's redemption

and the rolling away of our reproach at the cross.

Israel made Gilgall their headquarters for the next few years.

By making this their home base for a period of time,

God was writing a new identity in their hearts and minds, renewing their minds.

Every time they mentioned their hometown, they were, in essence, saying the reproach is rolled away.

When the men, after venturing into new regions and conquering new territories said,

let's head home to Gilgau, they were literally saying, let's go back to the place where the reproach of slavery

was rolled away. Dozens, perhaps hundreds of times the Israelites announced to one another,

the reproach is gone, we're no longer slaves.

Yahweh wanted them to know without a shadow of a doubt, that they were no longer oppressed,

bound, and without purpose.

They were conquerors, more than conquerors, as descendants of Abraham, who was in covenant with God.

They also were in covenant with God. They were Yahweh's partners in redeeming the world. He actually intended to bless all the nations of the earth through them.
