IN THE MIDST OF MERCY

EXODUS 25:21
Exodus 25:21-22 (KJV) 21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. 22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
THE CHERUBS WAS TWO GOLDEN ANGELS ON TOP OF THE MERCY SEAT.
THE ANGELS ON TOP OF THE MERCY SEAT DIDN’T LOOK AT ONE ANOTHER, THEY LOOKED DOWN.
THEY DIDN’T HAVE TO SEE EYE TO EYE TO SEE THE MERCY OF GOD
THEIR GAZE MET IN THE GLORY OF GOD.
“FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY FOREVER”
THEIR EYES DIDN’T GAZE IN JUDGEMENT!
GOD’S NOT EVEN SITTING ON THE JUDGMENT SEAT YET.
GOD IS SETTING ON THE MERCY SEAT.
IF YOU SITTING ON THE JUDGMENT SEAT, YOUR SITTING ALONG.
IF YOUR SITTING ON THE MERCY SEAT, YOUR ON GOD’S LAP.
NOTICE THESE ANGELS WERE NOT “FORMED” THEY DIDN’T MAKE A FORM AND POUR IT
THEY WERE “BEATEN”
2 CHUNKS OF GOLD ON TOP OF MERCY SEAT AND GOLDSMITHS BEAT THEM WITH HAMMERS
WASN’T EXACTLY ALIKE, WITH SAME INDENTIONS
MAYBE ONE WAS A LITTLE STUBBORN AS GOLDSMITH TRIED GETTING HANDS TO TOUCH ETC..
GOLDSMITH SAID “YOU MAY NOT LOOK EXACTLY ALIKE, BUT YOUR GOING TO LOOK IN THE SAME DIRECTION”
IN THE DIRECTION OF MERCY AND GLORY
THE GLORY OF GOD ONLY COMES OUT OF THE MERCY OF GOD.
WE DON’T ALWAYS SEE EYE TO EYE.
START TALKING ABOUT:
COMING OF THE LORD (PRE, MID, POST)
SANTIFICATION (INSTANT, PROGRESSIVE)
THE 12 TRIBES WERE ALL DIFFERENT BUT WHEN THEY CAME TO THE TABERNACLE TO THE GLORY THEY GOT CLOSE TOGETHER
AARONS SONS (HOPNIA, PHINIAS) STRUCK DEAD FOR OFFERING STRANGE FIRE IN THE TABERNACLE
ELI’S SON IN DOOR OF SAME TABERNACLE COMMITTED ADULTRY AND WASN’T KILLED.
WHY? I THINK BECAUSE IN DAYS OF ELI’S SON, THE LIGHT WENT OUT IN TABERNACLE & NO GLORY.
IN AARONS DAY THERE WAS GLORY IN THE TABERNACLE.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DO IN MIDST OF THE GLORY OF GOD.
DON’T MAKE DECISIONS LIGHTLY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE GLORY OF GOD.
IN OLD TESTAMENT WHEN TWO PEOPLE WANTED TO MAKE A COVENANT THEY WOULD CUT A CALF, GOAT, OR A RAM IN TWO PIECES
THEN THEY WOULD WALK BETWEEN THE HALVES AND SAY “THE LORD IS BETWEEN YOU AND ME”
THEY HAD TO KEEP WHAT WAS SPOKEN BETWEEN THE SACRIFICES OR SUFFER A DEADLY CURSE
WE GOT TO HAVE THE LORD BETWEEN US!
I DOUBT WE WOULD LIKE EACH OTHER IF UNSAVED, BUT WITH CHRIST BETWEEN US WE FELLOWSHIP.
1 Samuel 20:42 (KJV) 42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever….
WE GET IN TROUBLE WHEN WE MAKE “CHURCH” A BATTLEFIELD INSTEAD OF GAZING GROUND INTO HIS GLORY.
Matthew 18:20 (KJV) 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
GOD DOESN’T COME TO JUST “YOU’ OR “ME” HE COMES IN THE MIDDLE
WHERE WE CAN ALL TOUCH HIM, BUT NOBODY CONTROLS HIM.
YOU CAN BE RIGHT WITH FACTS, BUT WRONG WITH SPIRIT
JESUS DIED IN THE MIDDLE.
ONE MAN ACCEPTED HIM
ONE MAN REJECTED HIM
BIBLE WICKEDNESS IS SIMPLY TO BE NON-PRODUCTIVE
MAN WITH TALENT, DID NOTHING WITH IT, HID IT, KEEP IT, ADDED NOTHING
AFRAID OF THE RISK.
WE NEED SOME RISK TAKERS
YOU WIN BY INVESTING. SOME PAY OFF, SOME DON’T
SHOW YOU HOW SILLY THIS SPIRIT IS:
I CAN ALMOST PROVE WEARING NECKTIE AS SIN. (LOL)
ONLY THING I FIND US WEARING IN HEAVEN ARE ROBES AND ROBES DON’T HAVE NECKTIES
DIDN’T HE SAY “THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN”
YOU CAN GET CAUGHT UP WITH WERE GOD’S BEEN AND MISS WHAT HE’S DOING.
YOU CAN GET CAUGHT UP WITH WHAT HE SAID, AND MISS WHAT HE’S SAYING.
I DON’T CARE IF YOU PRE, MID OR POST.
WELL BROTHER MIKE DON’T YOU WANT TO KNOW WHOSE GONNA GET TAKEN UP WITH HIM.
I KNOW WHO WILL BE TAKEN UP WITH HIM. ONLY THOSE THAT’S TAKEN UP WITH HIM NOW!
DAVID MARRIED SAUL’S DAUGHTER AND THAT PUT HIM IN THE ROYAL FAMILY, BUT THAT’S NOT HOW HE GOT TO THE THRONE.
DAVID WAS CROWNED KING BECAUSE OF HIS WORSHIP, RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
