The Lord doesn't always give the same instructions for similar or even, identical tasks:-
1. Exodus: Speak to the rock vs strike the rock
2. Jericho: Are all battles won through singing?
3. Samson: Are all battles won through "donkey jaw" wars
4. Jesus at Luke 22:36: "Previously I said".. "but NOW"...
Our Lord still speaks today, through His Holy Spirit. The question is, are we listening to Him, or are we using precedents in the bible as an excuse not to approach the Lord?
