Can you imagine what the face of Moses looked like when he returned from the Presence of GOD?
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 3:
4 We carry this confidence in our hearts because of our union with Christ before God.
5 Yet we don’t see ourselves as capable enough to do anything in our own strength, for our true competence flows from God’s empowering Presence.
6 He alone makes us adequate ministers who are focused on an entirely New Covenant. Our ministry is not based on the letter of the law but through the power of the Spirit. The letter of the law kills, but the Spirit pours out Life.
If we spend most of our focus on the Old Testament, we will be less sensitive to the ministry of The Holy Spirit. His ministry was veiled in the Old Testament, but Jesus changed all that when He sent The Holy Spirit to indwell in us beginning on the Day of Pentecost.
Those who are baptized in The Holy Spirit have that empowering Presence of GOD in them waiting to pour out Life on those who encounter them.
7 Even the ministry that was characterized by chiseled letters on stone tablets came with a dazzling measure of glory, though it produced death. The Israelites couldn’t bear to gaze on the glowing face of Moses because of the radiant splendor shining from his countenance—a glory destined to fade away.
8 Yet how much more radiant is this new and glorious ministry of the Spirit that shines from us!
Can you imagine how the children of Israel marveled at the sight of Moses’ glowing face? On that day, all were ready to be led by Moses. As the glory faded, so did their commitment to be led by him. FATHER had to produce signs and wonders to confirm his leadership among the people.
Each of us has the opportunity to be a partaker of the Third Great Awakening which is now at hand. These writings are intended to bring us into full maturity thus allowing us to walk in the radiance of the new and glorious ministry that shines from us. Our commitment determines at what level we will walk in.
9 For if the former ministry of condemnation was ushered in with a measure of glory, how much more does the ministry that imparts righteousness far excel in glory.
10 What once was glorious no longer holds any glory because of the increasingly greater glory that has replaced it.
11 The fading ministry came with a portion of glory, but now we embrace the unfading ministry of a permanent impartation of glory.
12 So then, with this amazing hope living in us, we step out in freedom and boldness to speak the Truth.
We are to be bold in our words and actions as we speak the Truth. Do not be reluctant to speak the Truth!
16 But the moment one turns to the Lord with an open heart, the veil is lifted and they see.
17 Now, the “Lord” I’m referring to is the Holy Spirit, and wherever He is Lord, there is freedom.
18 We can all draw close to Him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into His very Image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, Who is the Spirit.
I am pressing in daily to be fully led by The Holy Spirit. Is it easy? No! Why? I must renew my mind and remove the mindset that I have been exposed to in the past. I have had to change my priorities away from what the world deems important and only focus on what FATHER considers to be truly important. As I do, I am unlocking the ministry of The Holy Spirit in my life and ripping the veil away so that I can reflect The Glory of THE LORD and walk in signs and wonders.
