Shouldn’t we walk in HIS Glory and exceed that of Moses?
It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Exodus chapter 14:
15 And the LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.
16 But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17 And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.
18 Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
There is a very subtle Truth in the above passage. Moses wanted THE LORD to deliver the children of Israel, but FATHER responded by telling Moses to initiate their deliverance. Moses was to divide the sea, not FATHER! Moses had the power and authority, he needed to access it.
The Holy Spirit is the Gift of GOD HIMSELF to us. The Holy Spirit is not simply given that you may be a channel, and always a channel. But instead, the most magnificent thing the Word of GOD portrays is that Christ indwelling in you by The Holy Spirit is to make you a son of GOD, like Jesus Christ. GOD’S anointed from Heaven with the recognized power of GOD in your spirit to command the Will of GOD on earth! GOD has given us the Spirit of power, Love, and a sound mind.
We are called not only to preach The Word, but to demonstrate the power of The Word! Other religions are void of such power.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 3:
7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,
Moses had a temporary Glory resulting from his direct encounter with GOD.
8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
Shouldn’t we expect to exceed Moses in our earthly walk?
9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels.
11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious. 12 Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech-
What once was glorious no longer holds any glory because of the increasingly greater glory that has replaced it. The fading ministry came with a portion of glory, but now we are meant to embrace the unfading ministry of a permanent impartation of glory. So then, with this amazing hope living in us, we step out in freedom and boldness to speak the Truth. Are you willing to step out into this outward glory by walking in the ministry of righteousness?
13 unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away.
By the Blood of Jesus and the impartation of The Holy Spirit, we should expect a greater anointing than Moses. The Glory expressed in and through us should exceed what Moses experienced and not fade away!
14 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.
15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Blindness is the only thing keeping us from walking in such righteousness and walking in the Image and Likeness of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Moses was temporarily transfigured. Jesus was transfigured on the Mount. Should the mature Sons and Daughters walk in the same manner as Our Elder Brother?
