Volume XII, Page VIII

Wednesday September 6, 2006       13 Elul 5766 Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19

"Preparation!"

 

"Foretaste of HIS Glory!"

 

2 Corinthians 3:16-18 (New International Version)

But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

The veil which the Apostle Paul mentions earlier in this letter, was worn by Moses to shield the Israelite people from the Glory of God, where no sinful man could enter HIS Presence and live.

This was God's method which allowed HIS chosen people, the objects of HIS Eternal Mercy, that through one man Moses, they could receive their inheritance, the Promise of HIS Blessing.

When Christ gave HIS life as the only worthy atonement and sacrifice for mankind's forgiveness of sin, it is through God's Spirit that Believers are now able to gain access to the Presence of God in all HIS Glory.

It was that veil, that kept man hungry and in the unfulfilled state of existing without a relationship and apart from fellowship with our Creator.

God's Spirit provides a threefold purpose, one that allows HIM to inhabit HIS creation giving spiritual insight into the secret things of HIS Glory, another that fulfills that deep hunger to know the freedom and privileges of being chosen by God to share with Christ an eternal inheritance.

And also where God is able to lavish upon HIS chosen vessels of service, gifts which allow believers to personally hear and understand instruction which prepares our heart to grow into levels of faith that will result in obedience, where we can speak HIS Truth, telling others of HIS Love and Desire to have fellowship through HIS Son, Christ Jesus.

 

O'Lord, YOUR Mercy and Grace endures forever!
YOUR Spirit brings both Peace and Strength,
when strife surrounds me each day!!
Prepare me as a deserving warrior,
to battle the enemy of darkness,
that attempts to coverup YOUR Truth!!
YOU removed the veil that separated me
from YOUR Presence,
and keeps others from seeing YOUR Glory!
Work through me, Holy Spirit of God,
to be faithful and pure,
as one of YOUR chosen servants!!!

 

 

Holy, Holy, Holy is YOUR Name Forever!!!
Amen!
