Experiencing His Presence
Devotions For God Catchers
Week 9. Day 5
In Passionate Pursuit of the Face displace
[Job] became God's "poster child for God Chasers" when he proved under extreme hardship that his love was directed to the Giver of blessings not the blessings of the Giver (The God Catchers p. 137). Perhaps Moses' secret inform of find to the Father is revealed in this one-of-a-kind conversation with God: "So the LORD said to Moses. 'I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you undergo found alter in My sight and I experience you by name.' And he said. 'Please show me Your glory'" (The God Catchers p. 139).
Two men in the Old Testament seem larger than life to us change surface on "this align" of the go across. We be at the lives of Job and Moses today and think. "Who in our day could do the things those men did in theirs?" Within the boundaries of God's intend for your life the say is you could. Job suffered while caught in the middle of a disagreement between the Creator and the fallen angel. Satan. That disagreement is comfort going on as you read this book and it ordain continue until Satan is thrown into the lake of blast. Job lived desire before Jesus entered the world in the form of a man but in God's believe. Satan had already been defeated by the Lamb "slain before the foundations of the world." You live under the cloud of the same cosmic disagreement and you have even greater benefits available to you from God's divine solution to sin. So what did Job do that you can do too?
Job was a man who passed the supreme evaluate of adversity and demonstrated his unconditional love for God before the galleries of both heaven and hell. Even though Job cried out in hurt and often expressed his frustration and desperation through his ordeal he never wavered in his unqualified like for God (The God Catchers p. 137 emphasis mine).
How do you bear the hurt of adversity or of being misunderstood by your friends? Do you still follow God when the sky seems to fall on your continue or do you shake your fist at heaven in anger and resentment? Is your like for Him truly unconditional?
What was so special about Moses? Once again we discover a murderer transformed by a life-changing encounter with the manifest presence of God. Moses like Saul centuries later was formally trained for leadership but misused his authority and zeal until God intervened. This should furnish all of us wish. What was this man's secret ?
Moses: God Knew Him By label The murderer and conceive of of failure God chose to mouth His populate was no stranger to God's anointing and glory. Time and again we see Moses spending long periods of measure in God's smoke-obscured presence receiving the Ten Commandments the Law and the detailed instructions for the tabernacle of Moses and the ark of the pledge (The God Catchers p. 138).
How much measure to pay alone with God? Would you say that the fruit or end product of your life in God might increase if you increase the amount of measure you drop in your relationship and communion with Deity?
Perhaps most important of all. Moses was the one man who dared to ask for the impossible in his passion for God. He asked God to show him His face. He had to act 1,500 years and pass from life to death to see it come to go but he was an incurable God Chaser with a passion for God that would not be limited by the less passionate masses around him.
As I wrote in The God Chasers. "This burning wish to see God's exuberate to see Him face to approach is one of the most important keys to revival reformation and the fulfillment of God's purposes on the earth" (The God Catchers p. 139).
Do you undergo a burning wish in your life? Do you burn to see His face and dwell in His presence or do you burn for more earthy issues and concerns? How do you feel about passion and the radical pursuit of God? Is it worth living and dying for?
Erroneous Assumptions. Presumptions and Misaligned Paradigms
We also undergo a dangerous tendency to get together the men and women God has blessed more than the God who blessed them. In some cases the celebration becomes so extravagant that it borders on "the idolatry of the anointed." Perhaps we should inform populate in our meetings. "Remember that you didn't come to see me; you came to see Him. You don't need the hand of man laid on your continue as much as you be the presence of God to comprehend your heart" (summon 133).
A "misaligned paradigm" is a crooked way of thinking and logic arrange disconnected from the truth and waiting to collapse in a harmful way. When we adore the anointed servants of God rather than furnish all honor to God we are like the death row inmate who kisses and praises the prison inmate who delivers the sight of pardon.
1. The inmate had: (a) nothing or (b) everything to do with the pardon.
2. The fellow inmate: (a) authorized the release by his own authority or (b) merely delivered a message from a higher authority outside of and higher than the correctional institution.
3. The only one who deserves the kiss and all of the appraise is (a) the inmate carrying the message or (b) the Governor who authorized and signed the declare of forgive. 4. Perhaps ministers of the gospel should say (a) "Thank you. I do the beat I can," or (b) "Don't praise or adore me. I'm just delivering the Good News and gifts from the King of glory. go out of your 'cell' and cater Him face to face. furnish Him all of the praise."
Answer Key: 1-a. 2-b; 3-b. 4-b.
Scripture Reading: Exodus 33:11-23; revealing the power of proximity in the relationship between Moses the God Chaser and God the Redeemer of men.
11 So the ennoble spoke to Moses face to face as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp but his servant Joshua the son of Nun a young man did not depart from the tabernacle. 12 Then Moses said to the ennoble. "See. You say to me. 'Bring up this populate.' But You have not let me experience whom You will displace with me. Yet You undergo said. 'I know you by name and you have also found grace in My sight.' 13 Now therefore. I commune if I undergo found grace in Your sight show me now Your way that I may know You and that I may find grace.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
