2-21-11 Veil lifted under Christ


2-21-11 Veil lifted under Christ

Not so much a word as an observation –

In Exodus 34:30 - 35 we are told that Moses’ face shone after he spent time talking with God and that he would put a veil over his face because the people were afraid to approach him.

I was reading in 2 Corinthians 3 more especially for the purpose of this discussion 15 & 16.  Which tells us that the veil is still there under the old covenant (without Christ) but that when someone turns to the new covenant (salvation through Christ) the veil is taken away.

I found this interesting because as we know when Christ was crucified and died, the veil of the temple was ripped in two!

These passages talk about a veil over the heart and the mind being dull. Let Jesus remove the veil from your heart and reveal to you the fullness of Him and all His glory!

As we worshiped at church yesterday God’s presence fell in a way that is unlike anything we’ve experienced in a long time, perhaps even more than what we’ve ever experienced.  No man had to speak or work up the crowd… God just decided to show up.  Maybe it’s because of the hunger of the people.  I won’t say everyone there has a hunger for God, but, the ones that do want His manifest presence and yesterday God decided to honor that.  I think we’ve only scratched the surface and I’m excited to see what He does next.

Perhaps we will be like Moses and need to cover our faces so as not to scare the people.

Come, Lord Jesus, Come. For we are a hungry people searching after you.  Not after the things you do, just you, to be in your presence where there is fullness of joy and in that place then all things can be made new. Amen.

1-18-13 Jeus in disguise

1-18-13 Jesus in disguise This is the refrain running through my head this morning – “Jesus in disguise, Jehovah passing by,” They were looking for a King they would never recognize – various lines from a song by that name by Brandon Heath.   If you look at the lyrics of the song – obviously – they were not in my head exactly right. As in the past they were looking for Messiah to come to rescue them from the oppression.   Since they were looking for him to be a certain way, they missed him when he came. In Luke 24:13 – 32 two of the disciples were walking when a man started walking beside them.   It wasn’t until he left them that they realized it was Jesus. I submit to you that Jesus appears to us in many forms.   Mt 25:35-40 says that we clothed him and fed him when we did it unto others (paraphrasing). Another line from this song says “open my eyes wide as I can, blind as I am” I can feel the Lord pretty much always, so there was a time ...

1-6-14 What is holding up your promise?

1-6-14 delay is not denial - what is holding up your promise Gen 15:16 ... the sin of the Amorites ... Gen 10:15 Sodom and Gomorrah were among the lands of the Amorites. Gen 18:20 says the people were extremely evil. 19:5 gives clear understanding as to their sin. Back to 15:16 it took four generations for the sin "to run its course" so that Abraham's descendants could return to the land they were promised. the delay in your promise may be being caused by someone/thing else occupying the space reserved for you.

1-27-16 The Water Wheel

The Water Wheel 1/27/16 I saw an image in my head of a water wheel.   You know how a water wheel is in a ditch of water.   Well there was a person trying to climb out of the water by climbing on the water wheel.   Of course every time he stepped on the wheel all he succeeded in doing was making the wheel turn and go down, back into the water.   Someone suggested turning the motor on and letting the wheel do the work. There are a couple of key points here. First is about trying to do things on our own.   And about how that is counterproductive.   You see the way a wheel works is to turn and scoop up water and then dump it onto another wheel that turns at a sideways angle in order to turn the wheels inside the house in order to grind the meal.   Therefore its movement would be in an upwards direction and when someone is trying to climb on it, they are moving it counter to its intended movement, downwards.   So doing things in our own...
