Our Goal: Living By the Spirit in ‘23
Lord, Show Us Your Glory
The phrase, Show Me Your Glory, has been used in sermons and songs and just about everything else Pentecostals and Charismatics can put it in to refer to an outpouring of the Spirit.
That’s not a bad thing.
Isaiah saw the six-winged seraphim surrounding the throne of God and crying out:
The phrase was first uttered in Scripture by Moses when he recounts a face-to-face conversation with God.
Contrast the two verses
FACE - in both places - Means simply presence, as when it is recorded that Adam and Eve hid themselves from the “face of the Lord God”.
The “light of God’s countenance” is his favour.
“Face” signifies also anger, justice, severity.
To “provoke God to his face” is to sin against him openly.
Presence to Presence
Spirit to Spirit
So what’s the difference?
Look at:
Now look at
What God was saying was:
Because you have desired my presence and glory, you will not see my anger, my justice, or my severity.
You would die.
But you will see my glory because my glory is a gift of my grace!
Now look at what happened when Moses encountered the glory:
Wow! that sounds amazing!
That sounds awesome!
Surely that’s what God wants to do today!
Yes!
He does want us to encounter his glory!
Yes!
He does want us to shine as lights in a dark world.
But this encounter that Moses had was not what God has desired.
God had something totally different in mind!
Moses’ encounter with God’s Glory was EXTERNAL.
Moses’ encounter with God’s Glory was EXTERNAL.
Your encounter with God’s Glory is INTERNAL.
But the spirit of condemnation says: You are not worthy!
The accuser of the brethren points his finger in your face and reminds you of your past.
“When the enemy reminds you of your past, remind him of his future!”
1.
You are free from condemnation!
2.
You have met the requirement of the Law because the Spirit of Christ (who fulfilled the Law) dwells in You!
You couldn’t do it!
But God did!
Tell somebody: “Did means it’s done!”
3.
You are no longer in the flesh, but in the Spirit!
4.
Where you live is determined by what you think!
5. Freedom comes when we understand the the Spirit of Christ dwells in us.
6.
His glory WILL be revealed in You!
Well I have messed up too many times....
I am too weak...
I am not sure His Glory could shine through me......
