Last time we looked at Job and Moses and their defining moments with God. Then they said to Moses, “You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.”(NKJV). When God’s chosen people decided to build a bridge between them and God calledMoses. This was their choice not God’s intention.
Also He did not want or intend the people to have a human king as He told Samuel, yet He allowed the people their choice. Yet in spite of this the Father would find ways to reveal Himself to those who allowed Him too. But because of all the laws and customs it made it harder and harder for the people, because of pastgenerations choices made.
Let’s start with even the temple His house had conditions, rituals and laws about when and who could enter, and how far they could go. Only the highest could enter the Holy of Holy’s and they even entered with a rope around their ankle in case it was revealed in His presence that they had sin and because of the Law they would die.
But despite all this the Father still would turn up to His children that were willing to hear Him. These were not just prophets but ordinary people like you and me, as it’s in reading the scriptures you see this. Some of them are now known like (David) like him he saw the Lord and met with Him in in quiet sanctuary of in his workplace as a Shepherd . In the old testament the scripture says the spirit of the Lord was with he/her etc providing defining moments in history for people to have what Job describes as “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye sees You”.
Yet today we can now go to places and spaces the above people couldn’t, why though? Because Jesus made a way for us to have communion with Him and the Father, fulfilling and completely changing things! Restoring the one thing that the Father has so longed for from beginning of time.
Then God said “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness….. Gen 1:26 whose likeness Jesus/Father. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living
being Genesis 2:7
Adam and Eve walked and talked to God, but when they sinned, shame entered and guilt remained. God cover their nakedness, but their sin stopped others after them totally seeing the Glory and the face of God. They become people of hearing about or of God and some of His ways and provision. But due to what was lost in the garden of Eden. Could not
But some cross this void like Enoch!
Genesis 5 tells us that “Enoch walked with God.” Hebrews 11 says, “By faith Enoch … pleased God” (vs. 5). That is Enoch’s testimony of his life and journey of a godly man whose walk and life pleased Almighty God.
But because of what Jesus did on the Cross, it says the veil was torn in two, allowing all those who believe and trust in Him to enter directly into the holy of Holy’s His kingdom! Face to face with God!
You have an opportunity and invitation in front of you that so many have longed for since the very beginning, not only you But God too. The ability to walk and talk directly to the Lord. Here I’ll end with: What are you doing with this incredible gift?
For once we have the understanding of what we have and received, then the responsibility comes with it to useit. So He is seen and revealed to the rest of the world through you.
Here’s your challenge for today
1. Next Ask the Father How you see yourself ? And write down what he shows you!
2. Now ask Him Father reveal how He sees you? Write down what He shows you.
3. Once again this is where you have a choice! It’s freewill time! Something that the Father treats as absolute- 100% foundational part of His relationship with you. You can either have what He showed you ‘how you see Him or How who reveal He is to you ? In most there is a remarkable different even if we have known Him for a long time
4. If you’re happy with how you see yourself that’sok ! But if you want to replace your default of how you see yourself then. Pray this prayer Father I choose to lay down how I see myself ……………………..(read out what you saw) and I choose to pick up who You reveal to me I am (read out what He reveal to you His truly is)
5. Last Prayer Father I lay down all of my time I have heard of you and today I choose to pick up instead testimonies of seeing you in all I do. Amen
Let’s pray
Father please help all of us Your to fully grasp this message, so we can fully step into the kingdom that we are led by seeing you and your ways. Amen
