Genesis 49:4
“Turbulent as the waters, you will no longer excel, for you went up onto your father’s bed, onto my couch and defiled it.”

I talked about the Reuben spirit before on this Blog, but last night I began a series on the 12 Tribes of Israel. What is it we can learn about them to arm us and prepare us for our Promised Land? How can we have a prophetic word or destiny that is so positive and a life that turns out so negative? This series looks at each brother in depth. Reuben turbulent as water. He is the first born and should have received a double inheritance, but looses it because he does NOT honor his father. He goes as far as sleeping with one of his fathers wives, when his father takes his most loved wife Rachel's body to Bethlehem to bury her. Really, you're not even in mourning for your father's wife? The Reuben spirit only cares about himself. This spirit is selfish and has no boundaries, no principles. The Tribe of Reuben was plagued with dreams that never got carried out. They could have been great, but settled for good.
The Simeon spirit represents the flesh in us. Not flesh as in the sense of the tissue of your physical body, but the rotten sinful nature in us that enjoys sin. Whenever given the chance it thrives to do evil with its mind driving it forward, with the desperate desire to be heard. It leads us down paths of unrighteousness and becomes silent, when the consequences appear.
Simeon tried to take revenge into his own hands…Our flesh loves revenge. It loves a platform. This is why Paul encourages us to mutilate and crucify the flesh daily. Put the Simeon in you in check before it mutilates you, like it did the entire family that's son raped Dinah. Silence Simeon with the Judah (Praise) in you. The flesh cannot be allowed to make decisions. It is not trustworthy. Put the flesh in the dungeon for it cannot thrive there, only the dreamer (Joseph) can.

ACTION STEP: Here is the link for the program last night where I taught on Reuben and Simeon, in case it does not show up below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmNxiSQa5ZA&feature=share. This show has not been edited. The message starts at 51 minutes into the service. I will post the upcoming messages as I continue to share on the 12 Tribes of Israel.
Study ahead. Read about the 12 Tribes of Israel in Genesis 29-49. Watch the service below. Then, pray and ask God to help you deal with the things you see within you that want to steal your dream, your land, take your authority, and ultimately keep you small and insignificant, and finally keep you good and never allow you to become great. Don't allow the spirits of the day to steal your tomorrows.
