and this is what I heard Him say:

Read Numbers 2

God spoke to me today from Numbers 2:34 which says: that is the way they encampedAnd this is what I heard Him say to me:

 “I see the cross!  Everyone has their place in the family.  It was that way for the camp of Israel and for you too.  All the tribes (families) surrounded My sanctuary which was in the midst of the camp.  The Levites were immediately around My sanctuary on every side.  To the East were Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.  To the south were Reuben, Simeon, and Gad.  To the west were Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin. Finally, to the north were Dan, Asher, and Naphtali.  Now, from My perspective in heaven, looking down—what I saw was an arrangement of the camp in the shape of a cross with My throne and the sanctuary in the middle. (see image).  Think about it, it was the cross that put you into My family, the Church. The Apostle Paul understood this when he said, ‘I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Today, when I see you, I see the cross!"
