We
don't need to back away from the mountain of God in fear of His
presence. He wants us to not only be aware of Him but to share His
presence in our daily walk with Him. The Israelites recoiled in fear
at the manifest presence of God on Mt. Sinai. They had witnessed the
power of God, but without faith to trust Him, God's presence created
fear. They had seen with their own eyes what He could do. So, God
placed a boundary at the foot of the mountain and they were
instructed not to approach the mountain. The Israelites had to
communicate with God through a mediator. God gave His instructions to
the Israelites through Moses. What made Moses different from the
rest? He trusted God! He was willing to leave the things that he
didn't understand in the hands of God.
We
have no need to be fearful and afraid. Jesus became our mediator with
God when we accepted His sacrifice at Calvary. Because of the shed
blood of Jesus Christ we have the boldness to draw near to God and
through our mediator, Jesus, we bring our petitions to Him. He
invites us to come boldly before the throne of grace and make our
petitions know to Him. This is a very important attribute of our
relationship with God and it is becoming increasingly more crucial
with the passing of every day. The revelation and leading of the Lord
is absolutely indispensable today and in the days to come.
Go
back to the beginning. The beginning is the revelation, the vision,
the dream, the communication of heaven. John 1:1-18 is the revelation
of Jesus as the unmistakable Son of God. God would have every
generation experience Divine relationship with Him through faith in
Jesus Christ. One attribute of that relationship is revelation and
guidance. He will remove all barriers and obstacles for all who will
repent and believe.
What
is the foundation of your revelation, vision, dream or Word from the
Lord? Your future depends upon your revelation. Is your life built
upon Jesus Christ and His Word? Matt. 7:24, “Therefore whosoever
heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto
a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25And the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon
that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26And
every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the
sand: 27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the
winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the
fall of it.”
We
look at the condition of our world and know that we are living in
perilous times. But it is going to get worse. We don't know exactly
when the Church is going to be raptured, but we do know that
conditions are going to get progressively worse. The foundation of
our revelation must be Jesus Christ!
