I have been trying to sum up in my heart what the LORD imparted to me during this NI Aglow Retreat. His Presence and His Favour was definitely with us and I could see His divine appointments as well.
A while back Pastor Scott shared a message at Northgate Foursquare. It was on Exodus 33:1-18 where Moses is being asked to lead the Israelites to take the Promised Land. At first God wasn’t going to go with them because they were a “stiff-necked people.” (Aren’t we all at times?) Fortunately, “The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend.” Moses was able to intercede for His people. "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 1How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?" Finally God agreed to let His Presence go with them.
This message awakened something within me and I also began to intercede for my friends and family. God gave me the promise that He would go with us ALL as well.
Then, on the Friday Evening, Diane Fink taught from the same scripture. Yet another confirmation of God’s Goodness…“the Loving-kindness of God.” It is His loving-kindness that brings us to a point of repentance unto salvation. Rom 2:4 God allowed His Goodness… His Glory to pass before Moses (and now He offers it to us). His Goodness is His VERY Best for us. It is His beauty, His salvati0n, His welfare, His Joy, His Prosperity… It is His Glory. “The Glory of the LORD will cover the earth” And, as Christians, we are to be the reflection of that Glory in the earth… Pretty Awesome when you think about it!!
It is truly about HIS PRESENCE!!
More to come… :)
