In Judges 18, the tribe of Dan seeks land to possess, as they had not yet secured their inheritance. They send spies who discover the peaceful city of Laish, vulnerable and unprotected. The Danites seize the opportunity, but along the way they steal Micah’s idol, ephod, and priest, showing Israel’s drift into idolatry. In the end, they capture Laish, rename it Dan, and set up the graven image — a warning of how far God’s people had turned from Him.

⚡ It’s a chapter about restlessness, misplaced worship, and the danger of seeking security outside of God’s will.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
From this great and awesome opportunity in the presence of God,
Hally Louiah Joy, in the presence of God, Hally Louiah Joy,

(00:28):
in the presence of God, Halley Loiah Joy, in the
presence of the Halley Louiah Joy. This morning, we're going

(00:54):
to read the Book of Judges, chapter eighteen George is
chapter eighteen, and we're gonna pray. The scripture says, in

(01:17):
those days I'm reading from verse one. In those days
there was no king in Israel. And in those days
the tribe of day Nights sorts them and inheritance to

(01:39):
dwell in. For on to that day all their inheritance
had not fallen onto them. Among the tribe of Israel.
And the children have done sent of their families five

(02:04):
men from their coasts, men of valor, from Zorah and
from esh Tall, to spy out the land and to
such it. And they said, onto them go such the land.

(02:30):
Who went who? When they came to Mount Iphraim, to
the house of Micah, they lodged there. When they were
by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of

(02:50):
the young man the levied, and they turned indeeder and
said unto him who brought you here? And what makest
thou in this place? And what hast thou here? And

(03:14):
he said unto them those and those de let my
car with me and had hired me, and I am
his priests. And they said, unto him, ask counsel, we
pray thee of God that women know whether our way

(03:39):
where we go, showing prosperus. And the prince said, unto them,
go in peace before the Lord is your way wherein
you go. Then the five men departed and came to life,

(04:01):
and saw the people that were there, and how dwelt
careless after the manner of Zidonians, quiet and secure, and
there was no magistrates in the land that might put
them to shame in anything. And they were far from

(04:26):
these Zidonians and had no business with any man. And
there came onto their brethren to Zorah and eched the wall.
And their brethren said, unto them, what say you? And
they said, arise that women go up against them. We

(04:55):
have seen the land, and behold it is very good.
And are you still be not sloughtul to go and
to enter to possess the land? When you go, you
shall come onto a people's secure and too a large land,

(05:19):
for God had given it into the hands, a place
where there is no wand or anything that is in
the head. And they went from thence of the family
of the Knights, out of Zorrah, out of extrale, six

(05:40):
hundred men appointed with weapons of war, and they went
up and pitched in Hejadgerium in Judah, wherefore they call
that place Mahanna. He dined on to this day. Behold,

(06:04):
it is behind Cajat Jeriam. And they passed thence onto
mountain frame and came into the house of Mica. Then
and saw the five men that were that went to
spy out of the country of liesh sat onto the brethren.

(06:26):
Do you know that there is in these houses an
effort and teraffin, and the graving image and the morten image.
Now therefore consider what you have to do. And they

(06:52):
turn their word and came to the house of the
young man, delivered even into the house of Mica and
saluted him. And the six hundred men appointed with their
weapons of war, which way of the trail of Dan

(07:13):
stood by the entring of the gates. And the five
men that went in spy out the land went up
and came in didder and took the graving image and
the effort, and the set terraffine and the Martin image.
And the priests stood in the entering of the gates

(07:36):
with the six hundred men that were pointed with weapons
of war. And this went into MICA's house and fetched
the carved image and effort and the terraffine and the
Martin image. Then said the priests onto them, what do
you And they said, unto him, hold their peace, laid

(08:02):
their hand upon their mouth, and go with us, and
be to us a father and a priest. Is it
better for thee to be a priest onto the house
of one one man, all that thou be a great

(08:22):
priest onto a tribe and the family in Israel? And
the priest's heart was glad, and he took the effort
and the terraphim and the graving image, and went in
the midst of the people. So they turned, and they parted,

(08:44):
and put the little ones and the cattle and the
carriage before them. And when they were a good way
from the house of Mica, the men that were in
the house near to Micah's house were gathered together and
overtook the children of Dan, and they cried onto the

(09:11):
lord of Don. And they turned their faces and said
onto Mica, what a layer d And thou comest with
such a company. And he said, you have taken away
my God which I made, and the priest, and you
are gone away. You are gone away? And what have

(09:36):
I more? And what is this that you say unto me?
What selet d? And the children of Dye send onto them?
Let not die voice be had among us less angry

(09:56):
fellows run up and dee and lose their life with
the life of the household. And the children of them
went their way. And when Michael saw that they were
too strong for him, he turned and went back onto

(10:17):
his house. And they took the thing which Micah had
made and the priests which he had, and came onto
Laish and onto the people that they were acquiet and secure.
And they smote them with the edge of the sword

(10:38):
and burnt the city with fire. And there was not
deliver because it was far from Zidon, and they had
no business with any man. And it was in the
valley that lied by the bed top, and they built

(11:01):
a city and dwell daring, and they called the name
of the city Dan, after the name of Dan, their
father who was born onto Israel. How be it the
name of the city was Laish at first, and the
turner of Dan set up the graving image, and Jonathan,

(11:25):
the son of Gsham, the son of Manessa. He and
his sons were priests to the travel of Dan until
the day of the captivity of the land, and then
set up Micah's graving image, which he made all the

(11:46):
time that the house of God was in Shiloh. Glory
to God, Hallelujah. We're gonna pray. But I read all
is long verses for you to understand how God moved

(12:21):
with these people. But there is one significant thing that
happened for the people of Zorah. Glory to God. The
Bible said they were quiet, very quiet. City was no ruler,

(12:49):
have no magistrates. People are generally organized. There was no chaos,
there was no violence. Everybody knows his place, but there
was no leader. Glory to God. It was far from Sidonians.

(13:13):
And they had business with no man. This man does
business alone. This city. They do their own business. They
have no business with anyone. They felt probably better than others.

(13:37):
They were so secured in their own eyes until the
people of them discovered them glory to God. They had
no business with any man. You know, it is a

(13:58):
very dangerous thing to stand alone. And I'm talking to
somebody this morning, to stand alone without dealing with anyone.

(14:22):
You stand alone, doing business by yourself, probably you're better.
You felt that every other person cannot do it. Nobody
can do it except you doing it alone. This is

(14:47):
what happened to them when they felt secured, when they
felt arrived, when they felt that nothing is going to
happen to them, because they were even far away from
these sitonys, suddenly destruction came upon them and their cities

(15:15):
were overtaken by these people. This is what happened when
you stand alone. The enemy that gets such to pull
you and to destroy. But God this morning is here

(15:41):
to set you free, to set you free, to set
you free. And also another one is the priests. Remember
the same priests turned to Michael. Because Michael gave him clothes,

(16:12):
gave him house, and gave him money, clothes, money, and food,
he left being the priest of God and became my cast. Priests.

(16:33):
Those whose belly is money, all their targets is what
they can get. Glory to God. All their targets is
what they can get from you money, clothes, food. So

(16:56):
there was a problem. And where he discovered another group
of people who offered him the most. He also left
Michael and followed them. So he lived the life of

(17:17):
the highest bidder, not knowing where he belongs. Of course,
he has been mopped out to be a priest. But
the devil has signed his own signature and took him

(17:40):
under his wing. And now what leads him was greed.
So we're gonna pray against every greed, every greed, greediness,

(18:01):
and we're also going to pray against every I call
it holier than down, everything that pulls you aside to

(18:26):
break you. So even you move in pride. You are
so much proud to even men shown your problem to somebody.
I know that some of us has been disappointed before.

(18:46):
Maybe you told somebody your secret. You told somebody a problem,
and unfortunately the person broadcast it. You know, there are
people you don't tell issues, regardless of they are. They
can be a pastor, they can be at bishop, that
can be deacon, there can be anything you may call them,

(19:09):
but the amount is for broadcasting people's issue. They can't
hold secret. In fact, they might use it as a
testimony or as a prayer point. Once you tell them
that the whole people must hear about it, there's a

(19:31):
way to deal with such people. You tell them what
you want to announce, glory to God and save your
energy whatever you want to announce discussing with them, because
by the time you get to your house, you'll be

(19:54):
hearing it on your radio. Because don't know how to
do that with anything that you want to be kept
by yourself, don't tell the person, Hallelooyer. So maybe that's

(20:15):
the experience, and you began to withdraw and stay by yourself.
What God is saying this morning. People who decided to
do business by themselves then got caught by the Danians

(20:37):
and began to destroy them. First of all, they came
as a spy. They watched the land. They saw that
the place was good, and everybody enjoyed themselves. Nobody is
stealing from one another. Nobody is violent, nobody because everything
there was organized organized. They don't have no chees, no

(21:00):
ma distraates, no judge nobody. Everybody know exactly how to
behave themselves and how to organize themselves. Nobody is stealing
from one another. But somebody was watching and came with
weapons and began to kill them and began to destroy them.

(21:26):
So again, that the place is quiet does not mean
that war is not taking place. You may be wondering
what did we do? Sometimes as what did I do?
Why is all this things happening? You didn't do anything.
You're just a human being. That's why you are getting

(21:48):
the attack because you must learn to fight. If they
had learned to fight, their cities will not go to
the hands of the enemy. But they thought everything was quiet,
and sudden destruction came upon them, and that will not
be your portion this morning. Blow it to God. That's

(22:10):
why we pray. That's why we prayed. That's why we pray.
We can never pray enough. We continue to pray forever
and ever, so long as we breed, we pray, so
long as we are life. We pray so long as
we are standing. We are going to continue to pray

(22:30):
onto the enemy bows. Blow it to God. I want
you to just lift up your voice every way you
are beginning to think God, say Lord, I thank you
this morning. I thank you this morning because I'm no
longer going to start alone. In the name of Jesus,

(22:50):

In the name of Jesus Christ. I want you to
pray fast, begin to demand that every greed, every greed,

(23:16):
any type of greed that the enemy is fighting you with,
will be totally destroyed this morning. Decree Holy goes first

We're still praying. We gotta pray that every wrong motive
and every wrong mindset that I've been making us to

(26:07):
some God. And I'm gonna explain, like we're reading this text,
the priest, as we can see, he's doing this priest
because of wrong motive he's doing a priest searching for

(26:29):
the highest bidder. So all he does is way he
can get new clothes, food and money. That is what
motive vets him. That is the reason, which means any
time every person comes to raise the bar, so I'm

(26:56):
gonna give you more money, more clothes, are more food,
the priests will move and begin to follow the person,
and that is evil. There are those who can only
associate with people who provide money to them. In fact,

(27:21):
that's the reason they serve God. The reason is just
because they want to make money. They want to make life,
let life be better. They just want to lead a
better life, and that is their move of serving God.
So they're not saving God. Because God is worthy to

(27:41):
be served. So we're praying this money. Every wrong motive
that push you to serve God, serving God with their
wrong mindset, wrong motive, we may destroyed this morning. Anywhere
the enemy has set up your heart in a wrong

(28:04):
way of serving God. You are serving God, but with
a wrong motive. Let the power of God dissolve every
wrong motive, wrong direction, wrong mindset in serving the Lord.
Let that power be broken. This morning, We're gonna shout

(28:26):
Holy goes fire seven times, the Blood of Jesus seven times.
We're gonna begin to destroy the wrong mindset, the wrong mindset,
the wrong motives in the name of Jesus. Decrean prayer,

cannot move you wrongly, cannot move you in the wrong direction.
Life is not about experiment. We don't experiment with life,

(34:59):
or we move according to God's manual. I wanted to
pray like we saw the priests experimenting with life. God's everywhere.
Once you tell him what you can do for him
to move with you. And many people are like that.

(35:24):
They only are associate with people who can do something
for them. It doesn't matter. Once you can give your money,
you can give your clothes, you can give your food.
They follow you before they associate with you. They are

(35:44):
very calculative. They calculate everything before they even make a move.
They are sad and calculate, and then they begin to
move in the name of God. I want you to
pray that the Lord will deliver you from such in

(36:05):
the name of Jesus, open your mouth, decrear, declare this morning, Lord,
renew the right spirit. Renew the right spirit within me.
That I will make the right choices, that I will

is in the right place. We no longer gonna move wrongly,
make so many mistakes experimenting with life. Don't know what
to do, don't know where to go. Everyone that said jump,
you jump. The next guy who says, sit, you sit,

(38:18):
The next person will say, run you run. You are
just confused. You don't know what to do. You are
still running from post to posts and wondering what to do,
and wondering how to worship God. People will say, oh,
you know how to worship God? Jump and you begin
to jump. Someone says, sit down, I begin to sit down.

(38:39):
Someone will say love, I begin to live. Someone say no,
don't lack and find all kinds of things. Because you
are running everywhere. You are confused. When you run everywhere,
you fill yourself with confusion. Because you don't even know
what you want, and then you begin to move in
the wrong direction, move sudding God with the wrong mindset,

(39:03):
non knowledge, no knowledge. And the scripture says that we perish.
We when I say we children of God. God himself says,
my people perish. My people perish because they act like

(39:24):
the unbelievers. They act like the pagan because they refuse knowledge.
My people perish because of life of knowledge, it said,
because they like knowledge. They have rejected knowledge. I will
reject them also and also their children. When you operate
