ACCESS TO SUPERNATURAL LIFTING (PART 5).

FEB. 16TH

TEXT: Numbers 11:16-17, 25-26King James Version (KJV)
16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
Numbers 11:25-26King James Version (KJV)
25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
26 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.

Today, we continue on our topic “Access To Supernatural Lifting.” In our previous studies, we concluded that part of the reason the 70 leaders chosen by Moses were given supernatural lifting was because they were individuals who were already active in their service to their community. I made it clear that if you desire true lifting in life, then you must look for opportunities to serve. Jesus said,
“If you want to be great in God’s kingdom, learn to be the servant of all.” Therefore, if you really want to lead, you must be willing to serve.
Another thing important to note from our text, is the fact that these 70 leaders that were chosen for the higher assignment, were people who were not far from the presence of God. Just before they were given this uncommon lifting, they were first introduced into the divine dialogue that was ongoing between Moses and the Lord. It was as they were in the place of divine communion that they got their supernatural lifting. So many people want to do great exploits for God, but they do not want to spend time in intimate communion with God.
The man that is estranged from the presence of God will not be able to find divine guidance for the people he is leading. Whoever seeks divine lifting must first become acquainted with God. Job 22:21-30 says, “Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.”
God has some great and awesome plans for you, open your heart to Him, follow His ways and you will be amazed what He will do with your life. God bless you.
