THE GLORY OF GOD’S PRESENCE (PART 6)

FEB. 25TH
TEXT: Numbers 11:25 and 1 Samuel 10:9-11King 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.

1 Samuel 10:9-11King James Version (KJV)
9 And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.
10 And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

The problem with most us is that we have not been able to tell the difference between a mere religious gathering and a place of divine encounter. Neither have we been able to tell the difference between a fortune telling and a prophesy. 1 Corinthians 14 tells us what true prophesy will do when you hear one. Whatever does not edify, exhort or comfort you is not the prophesy the scripture speaks of.
When someone is in the place of true worship, edification, exhortation and comfort are not hard to come by. If you went in there troubled, suddenly your eyes become enlightened by the glory in His presence and you begin to see and hear divine solutions.
In a worship service, you can tell when God is speaking and giving you divine ideas. When the praise and worship in a service stops, it does not necessarily mean the end of the move of God. Those who are sensitive and open to the divine dialogue will still hear and see by the help of the Holy Spirit.
In the Old Testament, the people did not have the privilege of having the Spirit of God living in them, He only came upon them, yet, they had such outstanding results. But since we have the Spirit in us, we should produce more results than they did. We must go beyond speaking dry tongues, making empty noises without results. Walk in power and glory, and glorious results will follow. God bless you.
