BREACH: The word breach is defined as a temporary gap in continuity.
When we use the word Breach we are saying that something is missing that was originally intended to be present.
Example: ONE TRIBE OF ISRAEL WAS MISSING
Judges 21:2-4 GW
2The people went to Bethel and sat there in the presence of God until evening. They cried very loudly, 3"LORD God of Israel, why has this happened among us? Why should one tribe be missing today in Israel?" 4The next day the people got up early. They built an altar there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings.
Judges 21:15 NIV
The people grieved for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a gap (Breach) in the tribes of Israel.
* Because of prayer, intercession and offerings, God gave the people a strategy to restore the future posterity of Benjamin and repair the breach back into Divine Order and Alignment
OUR GOD IS A GOD OF RESTORATION!
Isaiah 58:12 NHEB
Those who shall be of you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
· The ministry of Jesus was one of bringing things that were missing or broken into restoration and healing!
A Breach means that the original intention and design by God has been compromised so that functionality and form is not at the optimum levels.
A chiropractor might refer to that gap as being “out of alignment”.
The chiropractor adjusts the position of the neck and spine to cause the body to be in alignment and in that natural order the body begins to heal itself.
*In order to bring that body back to order, the proper positioning of parts must take place. This kind of adjustment must take place in the spirit and heart as well.
When a baby is “breech” in their mother’s womb, that child is going to come out feet first and not head first. When this happens, the baby is coming out of their mother’s womb, in reverse or contrary to the natural or God designed order of head first.
“The head must always be first”. Jesus is the head of the Church. The head is symbolic of rule and authority.
Divine order is an arrangement that precedes directly from God, not man.
· GOOD IDEAS DON’T ALWAYS MEAN THEY ARE GOD’S IDEAS
When a part of our life is out of order, it needs to be adjusted so that Jesus “the Head” is
reigning in that specific part of our lives.
1 Samuel 13:14 GW
But now your kingdom will not last. The LORD has searched for a man after his own heart. The LORD has appointed him as ruler of his people, because you didn't follow the command of the LORD."
David with his heart after God takes 30,000 chief men to parade the ark from Shiloh into Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles 13:3-4
3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul. 4 And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
· Everyone was in agreement that David was doing the right thing!
1 Chronicles 13:7-11KJV
7 And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.
8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. 10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God. 11 And David was displeased, because the Lord had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.
David was upset, his faith was shaken! Why did this happen? He was doing the right thing bringing the Ark to Jerusalem. David wanted to be in the presence of God
2 Samuel 6:7
7 Now get a new cart ready for two dairy cows that have never been yoked. Hitch the cows to the cart. Take their calves away, and leave them in their stall. 8 Take the ark of the Lord, and put it on the cart.
David had heard how the ark come from the Philistines on a new cart made of wood.
Could it be possible that David a man after God’s heart could have allowed the culture of the philistines to influence him against God’s instructions?
Could this collateral damage in fact be David’s fault and not God’s?
1 Chronicles 13:12-14 KJV
12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me? 13 So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite. 14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the Lord blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.
· The same ark that David was afraid of was blessing everything in the house of a heathen family!
1 Chronicles 15:1-3 GW
After David constructed buildings for himself in the City of David, he prepared a place for God’s ark and set up a tent for it. 2 Then David insisted that only the Levites carry God’s ark because the Lord had chosen them to carry his ark and to serve him forever. 3 David called together all Israel at Jerusalem to bring the Lord’s ark to the place he had prepared for it.
1 Chronicles 15:13 KJV
For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.
David did the right thing but He was out of Divine Order!
Remember Divine Order is Head “God” First
David had a good idea but it wasn’t a God idea!
David was quick to repent and that is why the second time he got it right.
1 Chronicles 15:14-15 NET
14The priests and Levites consecrated themselves so they could bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel. 15The descendants of Levi carried the ark of God on their shoulders with poles, just as Moses had ordered according to the divine command.
· David went from Breach to Divine Order
We must be careful to live our lives in obedience and in the flow and Divine order our God has established. Most of us would be able to identify sin in the commission of wrongdoing. We must also be aware that sin is present in the omission of right doing.
James 4:17
“Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.”
The details are important because God has divine specific instructions on just about everything in your life and what is not specifically instructed He gives you the voice of the Holy Spirit to lead in Divine Order and Alignment with His Word!
Matthew 16:21-23 NLT
21 From that time on Jesus began to inform his disciples that he had to go to Jerusalem. There he would have to suffer a lot because of the leaders, the chief priests, and the experts in Moses’ Teachings. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be brought back to life. 22 Peter took him aside and objected to this. He said, “Heaven forbid, Lord! This must never happen to you!” 23 But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get out of my way, Satan! You are tempting me to sin. You aren’t thinking the way God thinks but the way humans think.”
Satan was using someone Jesus cared about deeply to move away from Divine Order!
Proverbs 15:4 YLT
A healed tongue is a tree of life, And perverseness in it -- a breach in the spirit.
How do we get back into Divine Order when something is Breach?
DO WHAT ISRAEL DID OVER BENJAMIN:
· “REPENT & PRAY & GIVE”!
DO WHAT DAVID DID AFTER UZZAH TOUCHED THE ARK AND DIED.
· “SEEK GOD ABOUT WHAT IS THE PROPER ORDER”
What is divine order for your kids education?
What is the divine order for your career?
What is the divine order for where you live?
What is the divine order for how to raise a family in the midst of a godless culture?
What is the divine order for how to handle the money and resources God gives you?
Matthew 6:33 GNT
33 Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things.
